I’m going to depart from my usual breathless, uncritical coverage of movie news to point you to a resource you should be aware of if you’re interested in scripts: ScriptShadow. Five days a week, pseudonymous blogger Carson Reeves reviews scripts that are currently in production and reviews them. Most usefully, he ends his reviews by [...]
Posters for the upcoming Men in Black 3 have begun showing up in various cities, and Collider and FirstShowing have pictures of the two posters of Agents J and K. You know, I’m very excited about this movie. It’s a sequel to a movie from ten years ago, itself a sequel that wasn’t very good. [...]

David Yates, who directed some of the Harry Potter movies, is working on a Doctor Who movie. I learned this from Variety and approximately 98% of my Twitter feed. Yates made clear that his movie adaptation would not follow on from the current TV series, but would take a completely fresh approach to the material. [...]
Ayn Rand fans who purchased non-collector’s editions of their DVDs and Blu-Rays of Atlas Shrugged got a rude awakening when they read the description of the film on the back.
