Clooney: "Batman & Robin" Changed My Career

You know, sometimes even a crappy role can change an actor’s career for the better.
Case in point: George Clooney as Batman in 1997’s Batman & Robin. Sure, it was a crappy movie, but as Clooney told Showbiz Spy, he wouldn’t change a thing.
“I don’t regret anything,” he said. “With hindsight […]

Changeling: Sneak Peek - VIDEO

Check out this new clip from the Clint Eastwood film, starring Angelina Jolie. Opens wide in theaters Oct. 31, 2008.
This looks like one of those dark Eastwood films a la Mystic River (from which I’m still trying to recover).

Yogi and Boo Boo Go to Hollywood

Hey, Boo Boo! Yogi Bear and his sidekick Boo-Boo are headed to the big screen! How cool is that?!
The Warner Bros. film will be a mix of live action and CG, with Yogi and his buddy being the latter. Sounds like it’ll be similar to 2007’s Alvin & the Chipmunks. I’m betting […]

Michael Bay to Shoot "Transformers 2" Scenes in IMAX

First The Dark Knight. Now Transformers 2.
Michael Bay is directing key scenes of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with that massive, beautiful IMAX camera. Nice. I suppose he’ll be even more impossible to work with (so I hear).
