I spent the weekend catching up on some old movies thanks to DSTV’s blockbuster service and one of those was Transformers: Dark side of the moon. I settled down for a 2 hour action fest and unfortunately was thoroughly let down by the atrocious editing and over emphasis on the wonderful yet non integral Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. So I still have …
Welcome to The Weekend Extras! A dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed! So, just like the normal Extras, just much bigger!
Collider scored an exclusive interview with actress Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), who – as we posted in a recent edition of Extras – has been cast to play the female lead opposite Vin Diesel in writer/director David Twohy’s much anticipated 3rd Riddick film. Apparently Diesel and Twohy’s audition process is a bit unconventional, to say the least: I did audition for it. …

Just to prove it’s not just superheroes, sci-fi and Spielberg around here, here’s a bit of news on male stripper movie Magic Mike – one of several very different projects director Steven Soderbergh plans to churn out before his supposed sabbatical from film-making. Comedy drama Magic Mike was profiled earlier this week as one of the Top 25 Movies of …
Ethan Hawke is set to star in Vigilandia, a film that is surprisingly not about a super-hero themed amusement park.
Collider is reporting that while promoting his current war-time epic War Horse in France, director extraordinaire Steven Spielberg uncharacteristically spoke about – and frustratingly also remained mum on – some of his upcoming projects. When questioned on which of Herge’s stories will be adapted for the Peter Jackson directed followup to Tintin – which Spielberg is still producing – he gave the …
When I clicked on a link discussing Wes Anderson’s new movie called Moonrise Kingdom that has Bill Murray, Edward Norton and Bruce Willis in it I didn’t expect to see this. Granted I’ve never been a fan of his work so I don’t know what I was expecting to see but this is easily one of the strangest trailers I’ve …
Four new movies open in South Africa today. I can’t say any of them really falls into the Must-see Category for me, personally, but different tastes for different folks I suppose. 31 Million Reasons: Along with Afrikaans romantic musicals, crime dramas seem to be South Africa’s big cinematic flavour of the moment. 31 Million Reasons is yet another genre entry. …
I still have some niggling doubts about (very appropriately named) Marc Webb’s (500 Days of Summer) back-to-high-school reboot of the Spidey franchise. Yes, Spider-Man 3 was a mess, but I don’t think it validated a complete overhaul of the entire series. But that’s all spilled milk under the bridge now, or something like that, so now we have to just …
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 today! Simplistic but amazing first poster for The Words, which stars Bradley Cooper as a writer who discovers the price for stealing another man’s work. The Words is set for release 19 December, 2012. Robert Downey Jr spoke …
The Teen Choice Awards happened this weekend past, and while there Gary Marsh – Disney Channels’ President and Chief Creative Officer – spilled some info about the upcoming Tron:Uprising. For those of you unfamiliar with Uprising, announced nearly 2 years ago, this is going to be an animated series that bridges the gap between the original 1982 Tron film, with …
