Now that DC has announced their tidal wave of superhero movies, it has been announced that Warner Bros. is shopping around for a female director to take on the Wonder Woman movie (starring Gal Godot). And their list of directors is pretty kickass.
Uh-Oh. There is trouble in paradise. Or in this case, Neptune*.
Good news, agoraphobes! Veronica Mars, the movie, will be available to stream online or rent on digital cable on March 14, the very same day it opens in about 270 theaters across these great United States.

Another day, another highly hypothetical speculation about the potential of a Wonder Woman movie to burst out of the miasma of patriarchy and enact righteous justice upon the box office. This one is a bit unconventional, though: in recent interview with IGN, Paul Feig — who notably directed both Bridesmaids and The …

Warner Bros. often says it's "difficult" to make a movie about the world's best-known superheroine. Something tells me that if Warner Bros. ever gets its act together to make a Wonder Woman movie — and that's a big if — that it's not going to look half as awesome as this incredible, fan-made short.

Many of the Looney Tunes may be just a touch too violent and racist for any more big screen forays in the 21st century, but Warner Bros. really, really wants to make a profitable Looney Tunes movie after Looney Tunes: Back in Action floundered under the weight of Brendan Fraser's decaying career. To the end, the…

Warner Bros. came up with this little stat after researching piracy trends for many months. Blame the lady pirates' weakness on those addictive Gossip Girl and vampire shows! Despite this, most pirates are men ages 18 to 24.

Remakes and reimaginings and retellings? Oh, my. As I have mentioned once or twice, The Wizard Of Oz is one of my favorite films. But I'm worried for the Oz projects in the works.
