Kane & Lynch movie poster seen at Cannes



The Kane & Lynch movie project appears to be moving smoothly -- it's to the "poster" stage already. Proving beyond a doubt that the casting is a "done deal"(as tweeted by writer  Kyle Ward), Empire spotted a Kane & Lynch movie poster with billing for both Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx at the Cannes Film Festival. This poster covers the entrance to the Majestic Hotel, making it look a bit more like the Tacky Hotel.

According to Empire, the poster gives the film a 2011 date, but we don't see it. Perhaps it's behind that inconsiderately placed luggage cart.

The bird in front looks bothered!

Would jah? 

Looks like there's nothing else on offer,so why not? Every holes a goal eh?

Well 1 for the pink and 2 for the stink! booyah! extra points for getting ya balls in

Romero goes Deep Red
Director set to remake Argento's classic in 3D

George A Romero is in final talks to helm a 3D English language remake of Dario Argento's cult classic Deep Red.

The original, which followed a musician who becomes involved in investigating a series of grisly murders, is considered by many the film that established Argento's presence internationally.



But Argento diehards shouldn't worry too much about the remake's loyalty to its source - the script's been penned by Argento's brother and frequent producer Claudio Argento.

Argento himself will not be involved in the remake, despite having previously collaborated with Romero on Dawn Of The Dead and Two Evil Eyes.

Shooting is set to begin this autumn in Canada, with The Little Company handling pre-sales in Cannes.

John Carpenter Heads For Fangland
Fresh souls for the master

Wherever he's been, he seems to be back. Straight from finishing up post-production on The Ward, John Carpenter will jump into the vampire flick Fangland. It's like he was never away.

To be fair, he's not been entirely AWOL since Ghosts of Mars in 2001. There were a couple of solid entries in HBO's Masters of Horror series along the way, and some producer credits on remakes of some of his finest moments. But two new proper features in two years is very welcome Big News from the director of Halloween, The Fog, Escape From New York and The Thing.

Fangland itself is a modern-day reworking of Dracula, which involves US news producer Evangeline Harker heading off to Transylvania to interview arms dealing crime lord Ion Torgu. It doesn't go well for her. Because, like, he's Dracula. It's been in development since at least 2007, and at one point had Hilary Swank set to star. There's no word yet on whether that's still the case, but the script is the same one as back then, written by Mark Wheaton (Friday 13th, The Messengers).

The film is based on the novel by John Marks, who used to produce the CBS news show 60 Minutes. Given that John Carpenter's Vampires was also based on a novel (by John Steakley) and bore very little relation to it, that's not necessarily significant intel. But Marks' book, as well as being a clever and visceral horror, is a pretty sharp media satire, which might be why the project caught the wilfully anti-establishment Carpenter's eye.

No hints yet of start dates or projected releases, or what's happened to Carpenter's The Riot (aka Scared Straight), which was set to star Nicolas Cage. But The Ward, featuring Mandy Lane's Amber Heard, should be out in the autumn.

New Green Lantern promo art unveiled
First look at movie logo and ring

Warner Bros have released the official logo for their upcoming superhero flick Green Lantern.

Which is one of the coolest things we can expect to see from the production seeing as Ryan Reynolds probably won't be donning a physical suit (it'll be CGI), so we'll not be getting pap shots any time soon.

Still, the below poster featuring the movie logo was revealed by WB Consumer Products as they announced what the company has in store for the year to come.

We also get a look at what could be the infamous power ring that Reynolds will be wearing as the Lantern...

New Mortal Kombat Movie?

Pretty cool video in the link, Michael Jai White as Jax and Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade and what looks like Rick Yune as Scorpion.  Worth a look.

F***ing sweet!

Looks like Mortal Kombat is getting the 'Watchmen' treatment.  Very promising.




ps.  I actually liked the old MK movies, especially the first one.  I even liked the short-lived TV series (live-action and animated).  Strangely, I was never really a fan of the games though.

I see the green lantern and can't help think of Big Bang Theory!

Yeah, same here!

Wow for MK! that really looks sweet 

[GamerMan316]

It does though nobody seems to know much about it, even the actor's respective IMDB pages have nothing to do with Mortal Kombat on them, strange.  I have found this though on Michael Jai White's IMDB boards page.

Sub Zero is going to be awesome!

Maybe a new game will arise from this also, MK v DC was a joke!

If you manage to pause the video at 7:12 you get a quick glimpse of Sub-Zero.  He looks like Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Cobra Commander
