James Franco’s ‘The Disaster Artist’ Has A Cameo By Tommy Wiseau As weird asJames Franco’s next filmThe Disaster Artistsounds, it probably doesn’t stand much chance of being weirder than the film it’s about:The Room, the famously terrible romantic drama that’s gone from little-seen oddity to ironic cult favorite. For starters, whereas director / writer / starTommy Wiseau’s oblivious ineptitude accounts for a lot ofThe Room’s outsider charms,The Disaster Artist, which follows the making of that movie, is made by professionals with experience appealing to more or less mainstream audiences....

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Has A Big Problem After Morbius Superheroes are by far the most reliable thing at the box office and have been, for going on at least 15 years now; though DC is locked up at Warner Bros. and the majority of Marvel’s characters are safely in the hands of Marvel Studios at Disney, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe ranking as the most bankable brand in all of entertainment....

Gina Carano To Star In Knockout, Soderbergh’s Spy Adventure The mixed martial arts fighterGina Caranois to make her big screen starring debut inSteven Soderbergh’sKnockout, a spy drama he’s comparing toJames Bondbut also sounds to me a little like Luc Besson’sNikita. Described by producer Ryan Kavanaugh as “mainstream action film with universal appeal for a reasonable budget” this picture sounds like heaven on a slice of warm toast. The screenplay forKnockouthas been written byLem Dobbs, who had a hand in writingDark Cityand was previously responsible for scripting Soderbergh’sThe LimeyandKafka, as well asEdward Ford, reputedly one of the great unproduced screenplays of all time....

Few on-screen creatures rival the terrifying presence of the tyrannosaurus rex from the originalJurassic Park. Between the sound of those footsteps, the power of that roar, and the hunger in those eyes, the carnivore might as well have been brought back to life in front of our very eyes for as real as she seemed....
