Two new posters for next month's 'Man of Steel' have crashed on earth (not including the one we previously revealed the other day of Jor-El), showing us the film's hero and villain in all their glowering glory.

'Broken City' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 00:00:26 +0000

There are 8.2 million people living in New York City. Combine the population of Slovenia, Macedonia, Lithuania and you still aren't anywhere near what we've got. More importantly, why would you do that? New York is the capital of the world for at least a few more decades before China takes over. As such, those of us who live here can be excused for thinking that the power machinations in our city take on all the gravitas of Shakespeare or, as Chance Kelly (one of cinema's up and coming "that guy"s) in 'Broken City' calls it, an Italian opera.

'Broken City' Trailer: Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe Square Off

Eric Walkuski — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:25:24 +0000

It's hard to find two leading men more "Alpha Male" than Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe, so combing their two imposing presences in 'Broken City' should set off plenty of fireworks in the upcoming political/action thriller. The new 'Broken City' trailer has appeared online, and you can check it out after the break.

'Les Miserables' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:37:16 +0000

Is it possible to hate something and yet, at the same time, recognize its greatness? This is a heavy philosophical question and one that I’d like to discuss with you. Anything to get these insufferably catchy tunes from ‘Les Miserables‘ out of my head. From the opening “Look Down” to the closing “Do You Hear [...]

Watch Six Minutes of 'Les Miserables' Right Now

Jacob Hall — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 16:18:27 +0000

Tom Hooper's 'Les Miserables' is not only the long awaited adaptation of one of one of the most beloved musicals of all time, it's a serious Oscar contender that looks to replicate the critical and financial success of his previous film, 'The King's Speech.' It's also a chance for the likes of Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway to really strut their stuff and bring a bit of Broadway to the big screen. Five clips have been released from the film, totaling about six minutes, and they can be watched below. Don't worry -- the film is 160 minutes long, so if you choose to watch these, you're only getting a tiny taste.

Nick Romano — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:21:34 +0000

Ready for another 'Les Miserables' trailer? Well, this one isn't as exciting as the first one, which debuted Anne Hathaway's major singing moment in the film, as this new international UK trailer is more depressing than anything else. However, after watching all the new footage compiled together, you realize that it actually doubles as a medley of some of the major songs from the musical!

Damon Houx — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:15:01 +0000

'The Man with the Iron Fists' has been pummeling us with character-based teasers, and today we get two more. One for Russell Crowe's character Jack Knife, and one for David Bautista's character Brass Body. Watching both promos in quick succession will get co-writer/director/star RZA's music stuck in your head.

'The Man With the Iron Fists' Trailer Introduces Us to the Bronze Lion

Britt Hayes — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 00:57:55 +0000

Russell Crowe + Robert Baratheon From 'Game of Thrones' — Dead Ringers?

Nick Romano — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:00:13 +0000

King Robert Baratheon has long been dead in 'Game of Thrones,' thanks to a hunting expedition, but he's been seemingly been reincarnated in the form of Russell Crowe... or rather, Russell Crowe's new beard, which begs to question if the star is as big of a hot mess as this former 'Thrones' monarch.

'Broken City' Trailer: Mark Wahlberg vs. Russell Crowe

Mike Sampson — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:03:02 +0000

In the 'Broken City' trailer you'll see Mark Wahlberg being the usual Mark Wahlberg ("Yauh gonna wawk away..."), Russell Crowe being the aging bad guy (when did become the actor playing the bad guy in a Mark Wahlberg action movie?) and Catherine Zeta-Jones as a slut. Can all these moving parts come together to make an effective political conspiracy action suspect thriller?

First 'Les Miserables' Poster Noticeably Short On Star Power

Sean O'Connell — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:30:11 +0000

You have three marquee-busting actors with Oscar credibility in your cast. You have an Oscar-winning director coming off his massively successful Best Picture honoree. You have the power of Broadway behind you. And your debut poster is … the face of an orphan? OK, OK so it kind of makes sense for ‘Les Miserables’ to [...]

Mike Sampson — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 16:34:16 +0000

'Les Miserables' - the film adaptation of the classic Broadway musical - is, uh, not something we're overly familiar with. But we do know the movie has an all-star cast including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Sacha Baron Cohen and Amanda Seyfriend.

First Look: Russell Crowe Becomes Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah'

Nick Romano — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:28:24 +0000

Darren Aronofsky has been doing a bang-up job updating us on his upcoming project 'Noah' via his popular Twitter feed -- tweeting out that set pic of the Ark that went semi-viral and details on filming out of Iceland. This latest look, however, isn't coming from the 'Black Swan' director. Paramount Pictures recently released the first image of lead actor Russell Crowe all suited up for his title role as Noah.

Melissa Molina — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 04:00:40 +0000

'Noah' Won't Be the Aronofsky Film You Think It Will Be

George Roush — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 01:00:44 +0000

Darren Aronofsky is one of those directors who manages to get the most out of any project he's ever done, and his upcoming film 'Noah' will be no exception. Will this biblical tale stick to the source material? Or will Aronofsky put his own spin on it?

Russell Crowe and Eli Roth Could Reteam for 'Harker'

Damon Houx — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 02:03:52 +0000

It's been five years since Eli Roth's 'Hostel: Part II' hit the screen, which is a mighty long absence for an up and coming director. That's not to say he hasn't kept busy, with such projects as a lead role in Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' and co-writing 'The Man with the Iron Fists,' which stars Russell Crowe. Crowe and Roth may work together again with 'Harker.'

'The Man With the Iron Fists' Trailer: RZA Knows His Fu (NSFW)

Damon Houx — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 23:46:33 +0000

When the RZA announced that he was going to direct his own kung fu movie, we knew that he was the right man for the job. The Wu-Tang Clan and many of his other projects would reference a number of classic samurai and kung fu films, and watching the red-band trailer for his 'The Man With The Iron Fists,' it's clear he knows his genre.

'The Man With The Iron Fists' Gets an Eye-Popping First Image

Sean O'Connell — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:43:09 +0000

RZA’s a fixture in the hip-hop community, though film nerds know him from his performances in films like ‘American Gangster’ and ‘Repo Men.’ He’s making the move to the director’s chair later this year with ‘The Man with the Iron Fists,’ and the first promotional image from the historical thriller is eye-catching, to say the [...]

'Les Miserables' Pics: See Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe in Action

Sean O'Connell — Tue, 29 May 2012 15:44:47 +0000

Tom Hooper caught a lot of grief as his ‘The King’s Speech’ rode the Oscar campaign trail two years ago, primarily because his excellent film was deemed “not as excellent” as David Fincher’s ‘The Social Network’ by vocal film columnists. But in the process of arguing for ‘Network’ (which is great), most overlooked the fact that ‘Speech’ is deftly directed and superbly acted. Hooper’s the real deal, and he’s the perfect fit for ‘Les Miserables,’ which we get a good look at today.

Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah' Sets Sail With Russell Crowe

Damon Houx — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:49:43 +0000

After the Success of 'Black Swan' it's nice to see that Darren Aronofsky is allowed to make a big budget film of his own choosing - especially after the numerous compromises that went into his still-pretty-great film 'The Fountain'. Now we've got word that his next film has locked down its star and shooting date.
