Director Chris Nolan famously runs a very tight ship. Unlike the ADD marketing campaign that the guys over at Marvel have created for The Avengers, we’ve been given a very tepid flow of marketing when it comes to The Dark Knight Rises. And when promo material does come out it’s usually showing off Batman trying to hold in a fart or …

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!

I know. There’s no logical excuse as to why anyone would enjoy this film. It’s like peering inside the mind of actor Tom Green, only something far more demented, and with a screechy voice, stares back at you. And yet, I absolutely adore this film.

We all have our cult favourite movies and upcoming releases here in The Movies office. Kervyn has annexed yet another wall to post pictures from the set of Prometheus, while Noelle menacingly hisses at anyone who dares lay a finger on her pristine collection of Hunger Games novels. Me? Besides my obvious Batman fetish, I also happen to have a …

Despite the rather sour taste that Tobey Maguire’s emo man-tears left in my mouth with Spider-Man 3, I still greeted word that director Marc Webb would rebooting the superhero franchise with much reticence, as it had barely been two years since Sam Raimi’s last film. But as more of the fresh new cast, as well as Webb’s new direction for …

While Game of Thrones may not be a regular fixture on the box office charts, it’s kind of hard not to acknowledge the cinematic flair and attitude the hit HBO series has, with the second season of the popular show receiving rave reviews and acclaim from critics and viewers so far. In fact, the second season is doing so well …

Oh Zack Snyder, what are you doing to me? I really want to look forward to your Superman reboot, I really do. I’ve already made peace with the fact that your version of Superman is apparently going to be dressed in the Kryptonian equivalent of an infant onesie, and that he now has hair like an 80’s Wall Street banker. …

Hollywood, you never cease to amaze me with your ballsy attitude to release two films with the exact same premise, all in the same year. While Snow White is busy being creeped out by dwarves in Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the huntsman this year, legendary porn-star Linda Lovelace is getting not one, but two biopics based on her …

Speculation had been rife for days that this would happen, and now it’s finally become a reality. Despite The Hunger Games currently devouring all competition, director and co-script writer Gary Ross has decided to call it quits on the franchise. But as it turns out, his motivation for quitting is not a financial one, as some had been reporting, but …

It is downright criminal that more people haven’t seen Brick, director Rian Johnson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s first collaboration. The 2005 thriller was about as taut and perfectly-tailored a modern mystery film as you can get. Well the duo have a crazy new sci-fi film coming out, Looper, and this time they’re making sure that everybody knows about it.

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! And with the long weekend behind us, it’s only fitting that we bring you an super-sized Extras today. An Extra Extras, if you will. So sit back, kick your feet up and get ready for …

Jaws was a monumental moment in film history when it arrived in cinemas back in 1975, launching the career of a much younger Steven Spielberg, while also setting the scene for the idea of the summer blockbuster film. It’s been seen by practically everybody on the planet by now, and despite having quite a few lukewarm sequels swimming near it, …
