Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed!

The woods are alive with the sound of lawsuits it seems, as The Evil Dead, much like its source material, just won’t stay dead. While a remake is currently beginning filming in sunny New Zealand, it seems that Sam Raimi’s diabolical creation is going to have some competition, from itself. Because when Sam Raimi said that he was done with …

Pocahontas-in-Space narrative shortcomings aside, it was quite clear to anybody who had their eyeballs melted in their sockets by the incredibly detailed and fully realized world of Pandora that James Cameron’s Avatar was a labour of love. The acclaimed director has always said that he would be returning to the neon, warrior-hippy world, we just never realized that when he …

Another week of movie-going, another week of Hollywood rolling in Scrooge McDuck levels of cash. The American Box office had only one real debut this week, and much like a hammer blow from Mjolnir on your jaw, it shattered all other films in its wake. The Avengers finally debuted stateside, and while a nation of traitors to the crown got …

Growing up, there were some pretty awesome actors who were just managing to get a break in the world of Hollywood. Ben Stiller delighted me as a sadistic retirement village warden in Happy Gilmore, while Vince Vaughn proved to be one of the greatest Swingers, of all time baby. And then they began appearing in family friendly flicks, but who …

The House of Mouse recently acquired a large portion of Indian studio UTV, and now we get the trailer for the first product of that relationship, Arjun: Warrior Prince. And it looks incredible! But somehow I don’t think Mickey Mouse is going to be endorsing this one anytime soon. Last time I checked, that white-gloved rodent wasn’t a big fan …

Jersey Shore Shark Attack is the type of film where… Well, let’s just assume… I guess what I’m trying to say is…. That’s it. I got nothing. This movie looks too ridiculous for me to muster up a coherent thought about it right now.

The Bioshock series of videogames is easily one of the most intriguing and emotional of the current generation. The original gave us an insight into an incredible underwater city that had fallen into ruin thanks to the greed of man. While the second revisited the underwater city and was pretty good it didn’t invoke the emotions that the first did …

Pardon my French for just a second, but there is an old adage that says “Opinions are like assholes. Everybody’s got one.” This was very much the case when NY Times film critic A.O. Scott decided to swim against the rather large and vocal geeky stream and give a negative review of The Avengers. While most, myself included, were scouring …

Remember the first Scary Movie, and maybe a few parts from the sequel? It was funny, brilliant, satirical and well received. And then came a few more  films, which were as welcome as a wet fart at a funeral. Not even the Zuckers and Leslie Nielsen could turn the franchise around, as a pre-tiger blood Charlie Sheen helped hammer in …

Figure yourself for a botanist with one helluva green thumb? Well, even you might have had a challenge pruning one very tenacious, and decpetive carnivorous plant from outer space. Little Shop Of Horrors, a 1930’s story, which was then turned into a film by legendary B Movie director Roger Corman, was also remade back in 1986 by Frank “Yoda” Oz, …
