Fans of animatronic puppets should keep a new Swedish film from director Thobias Hoffmen called We R Animals on their radar. If you head right here you can see more eye-catching stills from the film currently in its proof-of-concept phase. Here’s hoping Hoffmen gets everything he needs to make it-- I am dying to know the context of the picture above.
After being the leading name for a few weeks now, Robert Schwentke has signed a deal to direct R.I.P.D. for Universal. Ryan Reynolds is still set to star in the adaptation of the Dark Horse comic about undead police officers.
James Franco’s SNL documentary, Saturday Night, which I found to be as funny as it is insightful, has finally been picked up by a distributor for release. Oscilloscope will be putting the film in theaters February 2011.
The already interesting cast of Peter Berg’s Battleship just got a little more eclectic: it looks like Liam Neeson will be playing the Admiral of the titular ship. That means Alexander Skarsgaard’s character is his son, which isn’t a huge stretch, but I’d of certainly rather have seen Stellan Skarsgaard in the role.Filed under: Newsstand
