Official Website for Tron Legacy's Daft Punk Score Launched

There's really no need to introduce this, but it's worth checking it out anyway, so here you go. Our friends at Tron Sector recently found a new website located at tronsoundtrack.com (that we've confirmed was created by Disney) for the Tron Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk. Everyone already knows I'm crazy excited for Tron Legacy, especially Daft Punk's score, which has been teased many times at viral events and on various websites. There's not much on the site yet, but it has a viral feel (though it's not connected) and Tron Sector says more "will soon be appearing." Also, view the source code on the site and you will see something cool. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and is pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Tron Legacy is directed by ...

Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender Reuniting with 'Shame'

I have openly admitted before that I didn't care for the art-house film Hunger, written & directed by British filmmaker Steve McQueen (not the classic actor, seen above left), but it was praised by many as one of the very best film of 2008 and I do admire what McQueen achieved (visually) in his feature debut. We've heard bits and pieces about his follow-up film, but now Variety has confirmed that McQueen will be reuniting with Michael Fassbender (who starred in Hunger) for a project that starts shooting in January titled Shame. Fassbender will play Brandon, a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life. Written by McQueen and Abi Morgan (Brick Lane), Shame will examine the nature of need, how people live their lives and react to the experiences that shape them. Although I didn't really like Hunger, I realize many cinephiles regard McQueen ...

Dark Tower Adaptation Lands Unprecedented Film & TV Deal

Those of you who have been anxious to see a Dark Tower adaptation for years should be foaming at the mouth at this good news today. Though Stephen King's books were once going to be adapted into a TV series by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production banner, we found out back in April that the rights had since left their hands and ended up with Ron Howard and Akiva Goldman at their Imagine Entertainment/Weed Road Productions banners. Now Deadline has official word on the once hazy deal that involves an unprecedented fusion of film and TV at Universal/NBC. As Vice President Joe Biden might say, "This is a big fuckin' deal." For those unfamiliar with Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, the story follows Roland Deschain, the last living member of a knightly order of gunslingers, and humanity’s last hope to save a civilization that will crumble unless he finds the ...
 
Martin Freeman

Martin Freeman Might Still Play Bilbo Baggins in 'The Hobbit'

The initial story that precedes this bit of news didn't make it over here simply because an actor not stepping into a coveted role isn't all that newsworthy unless the actor who actually gets the role is mentioned in the same breath. But it looks like we have some fuel for the fire as EW reports Martin Freeman (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Love Actually) could still end up playing Bilbo Baggins in the troubled yet anticipated production of The Hobbit with Peter Jackson finally at the helm. A commitment to BBC's series "Sherlock" (where he plays Dr. Watson) initially held him back, but a new schedule proposal may allow him to do both. No doubt it would be an exhausting run for Freeman, but it might be well worth it for a role of this caliber that will certainly make him a household name. Freeman already has made a decent ...

Adam McKay Says the Fan Outcry Might Revive 'Anchorman 2'

Many were sad and angered to hear that Paramount had officially passed on greenlighting a sequel to the surprise comedy hit Anchorman. And once it became clear that budget concerns were stopping the project from getting off the ground, fan outcry just couldn't believe Paramount didn't want to spend the money on a sequel to a very successful comedy where the cast are now much bigger audience-drawing talents then they were when the original opened. Well it looks like the whining may have helped as director Adam McKay told Collider that fans clamoring for the sequel all over the interwebs absolutely have "made a difference." Though the film hasn't pulled a complete 180 to go into full-fledged production, apparently the higher-ups have heard the masses calling for a sequel, and it may not be as dead as originally thought. McKay explained: "[Fan outcry] made a difference. Paramount heard it. Adam Goodman, the ...
