If you read Cinematical every day and/or keep close tabs on the morality of our industry you might have seen a big scandal arise over on Hollywood’s stalwart trade paper, Variety.

Hollywood Prepares for Dueling ‘Wizard of Oz’ Remakes
http://www.cinematical.com/media/feedlogo.gif With re-imaginings and reboots being the keyword for every movie being churned around Hollywood’s grist mill, it’s no surprise that they’re turning to L. Frank Baum and The Wizard of Oz for some fresh content to churn around. According to The LA Times, Warner Bros and New Line (blood brothers) are both looking at [...]
Christopher Nolan Talks ‘Superman’ and ‘Batman 3′
http://www.cinematical.com/media/feedlogo.gif Time probably stopped for Superman and DC fans when news broke that Christopher Nolan was going to oversee Warner Bros’ Superman reboot, and that David S. Goyer would be penning a new Man of Steel story. (Possibly even titled Man of Steel.) As Nolan is one of those quiet chaps, there’s been little word [...]

Child Star Corey Haim, Dead at 38
http://www.cinematical.com/media/feedlogo.gif I know it’s considered “fun” to see has-been movie actors struggle through Z-grade horror flicks and painfully embarrassing reality shows, but here’s where things get non-fun in a big hurry.

Remember when DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson denied that Christopher Nolan was overseeing the new Superman film? It’s stories like this that make the movie rumor business so sketchy, because an official denial doesn’t always mean that something isn’t true. We know now that Nolan is overseeing Superman for WB as David Goyer writes the [...]
Evan Rachel Wood Exits Spider-Man Broadway Production; Kathryn Bigelow Passed on Directing the Film Reboot
http://www.slashfilm.com/podcast.jpg
I can’t stop chuckling about Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. That’s the Broadway musical version of the character that has gone way over budget ($50m+) and features music from Bono and The Edge. Granted, I have a great love for the show’s director, Julie Taymor, and perhaps she can pull this one out of the [...]

The last time we talked about Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur movie, it was suggested that a new script was going to be called for, superceding the Warren Ellis draft and now, we’ve found out who the new writer will be.

You’ve hopefully seen Logorama, the CGI animated film that won the best animated short Oscar on Sunday night. Credited to the French team H5, which is made up of François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy and Ludovic Houplain, the short has led to a lot of curiosity about whether we might see a feature that displays [...]
