Critics seemed shaken by its nonstop mayhem, but moviegoers were stirred to support "Quantum of Solace" in franchise-record numbers during the weekend as the James Bond film bowed with an estimated $70.4 million in domestic grosses.
A 22nd installment in the lucrative 007 franchise, now the joint property of Sony and MGM, the Daniel Craig starrer opened two frames earlier in many foreign territories and totes a $252 million international cume. Sony is handling physical distribution of the film worldwide, but MGM was a 50-50 participant in...

Marvel Studios announced Tuesday that the "Iron Man" tandem of star Robert Downey Jr. and flmmaker Jon Favreau will assemble for the "Avengers" film, although the role announced for Favreau is that of executive producer, not director.
It's no surprise that Downey will reprise his role for the "Avengers "movie, but the official word is part of the ongoing campaign to stir excitement for the first major motion picture that will bring together superheroes from separate franchises. You can see all of this leading up to some future Comic-Con...

Batman's joust with the Joker has set another box office record.
Stoked by fan fever over the manic performance of the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, "The Dark Knight" set a one-day box office record with $66.4 million on opening day, Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman said Saturday.
The movie's Friday haul surpassed the previous record of $59.8 million set last year by "Spider-Man 3." "The Dark Knight" might break the opening-weekend record of $151.1 million, also held by "Spider-Man 3."
"I think they're in jeopardy,"...

Wanted" tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, we're introduced to a hero for a new generation: 25 year old employed slacker, WESLEY GIBSON. Wes is the most disaffected, cube-dwelling, clock-punching drone this planet has ever known. His boss chews him out hourly, his girlfriend ignores him routinely, and his life plods on in interminable boredom and routine. Everyone knows this disengaged slacker will amount to absolutely nothing, and so does he, until he meets the sexy, foxy...

Christian Bale 'to make three Terminators', that’s what BBC news confirms anyhow.
Apparently Bale will be in all three. The story doesn’t say either way whether Arnold will be in any of them, but it sounds like they’re in it for the long haul if they’ve signed Bale for 3!
Now of course it could all go south real quick in which case if the new one tanks they just scrap the other 2 I suppose, but lets see what they do with this.
With the recent news that a new Robocop is being re-made, plus all the money Iron Man produced, I...

The Blu-ray 2.0 spec (or BD-Live) is just days from launch. Sony just announced that the next PlayStation3 firmware updated -- v2.20 -- will add the new interactive features to your PS3. As such, PS3 owners should expect downloadable video content, ringtones, interactive movie-based games, and the always intriguing "more" when the software is released in "late March." In other words, in the next 11 days. The update will also allow you to copy photos and music playlists over USB from your PS3 to your PSP.
There’s very little footage, but this looks like great fun. The the cast is fantastic and looks like they’re having the time of their lives playing actors who think they’re shooting a Vietnam movie but accidentally become involved in real combat when their exasperated director dumps them in the jungle. Nick Nolte with a bazooka would be enough to get us into the cinema, but Robert Downey Jr, in full un-PC make up, is the one that’s guaranteed our interest. With this and Iron Man coming up, we are currently man-crushing on him quite a...

Apparently there is a new rumor that Pacino would play the head honcho of the new, evil terrorist organization in the upcoming Bond film Quantum of Solace.
This is certainly a crazy rumor which may turn out to be 100% completely face. It almost seems out of character to me, for the Bond films, which have often shied away from such huge names, unless that star is Bond. Though arguably most Bond actors rose to their highest after being Bond, so even then, big celebrities are not often top choices. The few Bond movies that did recruit bigger...
