"Lethal Weapon 5" in the Works!

Hmmm…this is interesting. Been hearing rumors that “Lethal Weapon 5″ might be in the works. I just bought the first four movies at Best Buy to watch with my son — one of those package DVDs.
What is it with aging actors reprising their heyday roles? Hey, I’m not complaining. I loved seeing Harrison […]

I’ve been lusting over the “Babylon A.D.” trailer, which has been playing in theaters for a while now (check it out here). I’m thrilled to see Vin Diesel rock an action flick again, and with Michelle Yeoh? Heaven.
Site news after the jump…

New "Max Payne" Photos

20th Century Fox has provided Gecko with new photos for Max Payne, opening in theaters Oct. 17, 2009. The film stars Mark Wahlberg as a maverick cop trying to track down the people responsible for the murder of his family and partner. I’m geeked about this movie.

And You Thought Heath’s "Joker" Was Creepy…

Everyone’s talking about how creepy Heath Ledger’s Joker is, but the early concept art was much creepier. Check out these conceptual designs (pre-Heath Ledger) from the book The Dark Knight: Featuring Production Art and Full Shooting Script. It looks like a cross between Voldemort and Freddy Krueger. The book also features the entire shooting script.

"Righteous Kill" Preview & Trailer

“Nothing wrong with a little shooting, as long as the right people get shot,” says Robert De Niro’s character in Righteous Kill.
The film opens in theaters Sept. 12, 2008, and looks like it’ll be this year’s The Departed. Gritty, intense, and featuring De Niro and Al Pacino, I’m seriously psyched about this movie.

Gibson, De Niro in "Edge of Darkness"
