The Coen Brothers Set to Pen Screenplay for Thriller ‘Dark Web’!!

There have been more than a few attempts to get the story of Ross William Ulbricht on screen over the last few years. A few of those have been successful, especially the Epix series Deep Web, which was narrated by Keanu Reeves and directed by Alex Winter of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure fame. Most of them, however, have essentially just curdled into a wildly biased harangue against the age of the internet and … Continue reading The Coen Brothers Set to Pen Screenplay for Thriller ‘Dark Web’!!

Steven Spielberg, Amblin Developing Alien Invasion Thriller ‘The Fall’!!

Boy, that Steven Spielberg is one busy fella. Last year, the man behind Jaws had a healthy Oscar-friendly year with the hugely undervalued Bridge of Spies, easily one of his best films  of this century alongside Lincoln, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and Minority Report. He also produced Jurassic World and All the Way last year, along with a variety of TV shows ranging from The Whispers and Extant to Falling Skies and Public Morals. And this is ignoring the slew of projects that he has … Continue reading Steven Spielberg, Amblin Developing Alien Invasion Thriller ‘The Fall’!!

It looks like The Hunger Games is not going out on a high note. The final installment in the blockbuster franchise was headed for the lowest domestic opening in the series’ history.

The Ridley Scott drama claimed an estimated $15.9 million (-25%) and its third first place title.

Stine’s best-selling book series took in an estimated $23.5 million from 3,501 locations – slightly below expectations but good enough to keep The Martian in second.
