He was last seen trying to keep his son and the lad’s friends from being menaced by a marauding alien (and the US army) in Super 8 , but for his next trick, Kyle Chandler is going to dabble in politics, joining the cast of Allen Hughes’ thriller Broken City . Mark Wahlberg is starring as a Noo Yoik detective hired by a powerful local mayor ( Russell Crowe ) to find out who has been having it away with his wife ( Catherine Zeta Jones ). But when Wahlberg eventually tracks down the man, the lover suddenly turns up dead and the detective starts to delve into a far darker conspiracy. Barry Pepper is also aboard, playing a mayoral candidate who is challenging Crowe, and Chandler will be one of the main players in his campaign. Griffin Dunne, James Ransone, Jeffrey Wright, Justin Chambers and Alona Tal are all in the cast. Hughes is busy shooting the film right now, which has a US release date set for January 18, 2013. Chandler has been doing rather well for himself since gett

In a bizarre development that I can only imagine will be very embarrassing to Sirius XM's morning man Howard Stern , a bootlegged copy of the JJ Abrams-directed Super 8 has shown up on content-thieving websites. The print is watermarked with the Paramount Pictures logo , and " H Stern " in the right-hand corner. Film companies and networks like HBO routinely personalize advance screeners to safeguard against piracy. There is widespread speculation the leak came from a DVD sent to the show. I see that already, the Sternfannetwork.com features an "over/under" asking commenters to decide if Stern got $50,000 for posting the film. That is preposterous. Stern receives advance screeners so he can talk knowledgeably about upcoming films he likes, and because he does superb interviews with directors and stars. He will be upset if his show breached a trust with Abrams, a longtime friend who once thrilled Stern's daughters by putting them on his series Felicity. Th

In its latest attempt to hatch a large-scale film that can play to a family audience, Disney has made a seven-figure deal with screenwriter and Lost exec producer Damon Lindelof to write and produce an original large-scale science fiction feature film. Other than the fact that the project has a working title of 1952 , I couldn't pry plot details out of anybody. I'm not sure if the title connotes a period the film is set in, or if it is a Lost reference. I've also heard that this project isn't just being conceived for movies only, but that it has multiple platform aspirations. The project came out of a series of meetings that Lindelof had with Disney's production president Sean Bailey and senior exec Brigham Taylor, and it's the first film that Lindelof is producing from the ground up. Since ending the run of Lost and serving as one of the show's architects all the way through, Lindelof has been on fire as a screenwriter. He teamed with Alex Kurtzman an

Super 8 Movie Review By: SandwichJohn I gotta say that the movie did take me back to being a kid and watching E.T or Goonies for the first time. A group of kids on an adventure to find out the true about something. Super 8 has amazing visual effects, camera work, and the sound was just mind blowing. And I think that Elle Fanning and Joel Courtney will be getting a ton of movie offers after this film. This is going to be their break out film. With all the mystery surrounding the film , did it help or hurt the film? The box office will answer that next week. But I thought they did a great job teasing what was in the Air Force container.

J.J. Abrams And Steven Speilberg's Super 8 Viral Begins Ok First the trailer was amazing and has got my attention.   I have seen the new J.J. Abrams / Steven Speilberg Super 8 trailer only once and really didn't notice anything,  but I would have never thought to go through it and actually try to find anything hidden, or look for something that may open the doors to some other information that will open more doors to other things... scary things? Like the scariest thing I ever saw? Because that is exactly what this new trailer has led us to. The people who did all this research did an amazing job, I would never have the time or patience to do it. The first thing I want to show you is this awesome creepy screenshot that comes from the trailer that perhaps many of you missed. It pops up right before the letters pass over the camera lens at the end of the trailer. This was taken by Carlton Halpert. It looks like a kids face? Or some kind of humanoid Alien? You tell me.

Mission Impossible 4 Pushed Back Back in February, it was announced that Paramount will release Mission Impossible 4 starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt again, produced by J.J. Abrams, on Memorial Day 2011 but Paramount today has pushed back the release date to December 16th, 2011.

Along with that is the announcement of the release date of Super 8, the super secret project directed by J.J. Abrams, produced by Steven Spielberg, will see the light of day sometime in Summer 2011. The trailer, which has caused so much curiosity over the interweb is attached to Iron Man 2 this weekend. Please Leave A Comment-
