While you can call Michael Bay many things (Military vehicle fetishist, explosion aficionado, model-turned-actress uplifter, dapper sunglasses wearer), “subtle” is probably not one of them. So it comes as no surprise that when the director responds to the public outcry from fans about his proposed idea to reboot the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as aliens, he doesn’t take the most diplomatic …

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!

A few years back, Oren “steady on the camera” Peli hit it big with Paranormal Activity, a small film that made big waves in the industry with his unique take on the horror genre. And now he’s back, with a much slicker, shakier-camera styled film, that takes viewers inside the abandoned Chernobyl plant and its surroundings. Did I say abandoned? …

I won’t mince words here, there’s a lot to hate about Star Wars. From Ewoks to catching Darth Sidious as he steps out of the shower, not everything in the franchise is pure gold. But one aspect that never fails to impress are lightsabers. They’re laser swords, they’re awesome and they are a class of weapon that symbolise nobility, elegance …

While that other Snow White film gets ready to enchant families across the globe with some sickeningly sweet humour and design, the other Snow White film that is coming out this year looks set to be a more thrilling, darker version of the original fairy tale. Which means that it is far more faithful, because the original print story is …

Continuing on from yesterday’s trend of Films That I’m Looking Forward To That Are Surprisingly Not Prometheus, here’s the trailer for Brit Marling’s new science-fiction-ish cult film, The Sound of My Voice, which follows a young couple who attempt to infiltrate a cult to disprove the leader’s outlandish claims that she is from the year 2054. It looks like the …

Does the name Idris Elba ring a bell? It doesn’t? Come on, he was the kickass Asgardian gatekeeper, Heimdall, who had a brief yet memorable part in last years Thor movie, and also a larger and more forgettable part in the latest Nicholas Cage train of crazy, Ghost Rider: Spirits of vengeance. But besides that particular excrement-filled turkey of a …

The last time I reported on a trailer for Piranha 3DD, the resultant argument wasn’t pretty. I’m pretty sure I’m never going to get the bloodstains out of my pretentious persian rug. Also, somebody may have taken a poop in my sock drawer. That’s just mean. So you can probably understand my reticence in posting this new red band version …

Well this is a sad state of affairs. There has been much reported negativity around John Carter, with it being completely written off as a failure by some even before it had entered the race. Horrible and myopic advertising campaign notwithstanding though, Disney has not been the ones sprouting the defeatist rhetoric. Well, until now that is. Take a look at …

21 Jump Street has just debuted at the number one spot in the US Box Office, taking in a sizeable fortune in movie ticket receipts, so a sequel is naturally a must. Although this time, movie execs have set a new record for sequel-comissioning, as they’ve started work on a new film (22 Jump Street?) a mere weekend after the …

We’ve been hearing a lot about the proposed reboot of those heroes on the half shell lately. First there was news that Battle: LA and Wrath of the Titans director Jonathan Liebesman will be taking the helm, and then we learned that film is scheduled for a Christmas Day 2013 release. But the latest bit of news is a doozy. …
