Cowboys & Aliens gets release date, should the Smurfs worry?

Stephen Schleicher — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:25:06 +0000

I was too stunned by the announcement last week of the casting of Stretch Armstrong and forgot to post news that the Battleship movie has been bumped up to May 25, 2012 from the originally scheduled July 29th date. Now, word from Universal has Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens filling the spot. The only other [...]

No $h!t Sherlock – Downey not down for Aliens and Cowboys

Stephen Schleicher — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:25:16 +0000

The Los Angeles Times (yes, it is still around) has news that isn’t good for the Platinum Studios Cowboys and. Aliens movie. Robert Downey Jr. won’t be putting on a cowboy hat and fighting it out with visitors from beyond. Instead, speculators believe Downey is gearing up for a new Sherlock Holmes film. While Jon [...]

If Jon Favreau Had Done John Carter of Mars

Stephen Schleicher — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:25:29 +0000

One of the classic sci-fi stories I would really love to see made into a movie is the John Carter of Mars. Production has started and stopped so many times, it’s hard to remember who was involved with what. Iron Man director Jon Favreau was involved in the movie at one point, and offered up [...]

Jon Favreau on Iron Man 2

Stephen Schleicher — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:25:01 +0000

This doesn’t sound good at all. It’s been five weeks since the one and only phone call my reps have gotten from Marvel. I know their hands are full with the Hulk and I’m sure they will get into it shortly, as they tell me they intend to. I ran into the Marvel guys at the [...]

Iron Man B.O. Take Drops 51%

Stephen Schleicher — Mon, 12 May 2008 13:25:53 +0000

We live in a different movie world than we did a few years ago, when a 51% drop in box office revenues would have spelled death for a film (Jurassic Park II anyone…). Today, with movie studios eager to nab as much as they can opening weekend, the drop is probably expected, especially as [...]

Iron Man Movie Reactions

Stephen Schleicher — Fri, 02 May 2008 13:24:36 +0000

I had the opportunity to see the Iron Man movie last evening. The best part about this showing? It wasn’t sold out, wasn’t packed with noisy kids talking during the movie, and not a single cell phone went off during the flick. All in all, a great movie going experience. But what of [...]
