Though Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has gotten more buzz for its ill-placed ads and traumatic flashbacks than anything actually on screen, at least one person thinks that what the world really needs are more 9/11 movies. While introducing his film in Berlin (which he admits some thought was "too soon") director Stephen Daldry told reporters that he'd like to see more movies about the tragedy and its repercussions. more ›

With both Arrested Development and Party Down returning as movies, we are now officially living in a golden age of cult comedy resurrections. So it's appropriate to learn that everyone's favorite summer camp parody, Wet Hot American Summer, will also "absolutely" be coming back for a sequel. "Yes, 100 percent yes," Michael Showalter said on Watch What Happens Live. "The whole gang, everyone's doing it." Funny enough, "Everyone's Doing It" sounds exactly like one of the rejected titles for the film. more ›

Ending weeks of wild speculation, filmmaker Abel Ferrara has finally confirmed that he's going to bring former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s big silver head to the big silver screen. Le Monde reports that Ferrara—the man responsible for the films Bad Lieutenant, The Funeral, and, the seminal classic, 9 Lives of a Wet Pussy—has cast French actor Gérard Depardieu as the titular character and Isabelle Adjani as his wife Anne Sinclair. more ›

It is safe to say that our billionaire mayor from Boston will not be following in the footsteps of former mayor Ed Koch when he leaves office. Where Koch has spent almost a decade now reviewing movies as a side gig (see: The Mayor at the Movies), Mike Bloomberg "once told a friend he had seen only 10 movies in his life." Make that 11—he admitted he went to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. more ›

Bryant Park has just announced their annual Winter Film Festival (that's right, outdoor movies aren't just for balmy summer nights), and they've got a pretty sweet lineup. On January 23rd they'll be screening When Harry Met Sally, followed by Groundhog Day on January 30th, on February 6th it's Edward Scissorhands, and there will be one more TBA on the 13th. All movies start at 7 p.m., but we recommend getting there early to fill your hot chocolate up with some contraband cinnamon Schnapps. more ›

Freed from the clutches of Kutcher, Demi Moore is back to work playing feminist icon Gloria Steinem in an upcoming movie about Bronx-born Linda Boreman, who—under the name Linda Lovelace—is most noted for her appearance in the notorious 1972 adult film Deep Throat. At the time, the film grossed millions, launched Lovelace into spotlight, and sparked a firestorm of debate on cultural permissiveness. Not since her starring role as a single mom stripper with knack for political bribery has Moore grasped a role with such gravitas. more ›

Gilberto Sanchez, the 49-year-old Bronx father who uploaded a bootlegged "work print" (unfinished) copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine to the internet in 2009, has been sentenced to one year in federal prison. Where's the fine for the producers that greenlit the sloppy mess of a flick to begin with? more ›

Normally, the Hollywood insider's baseball game is too convoluted and self-involved to bother paying attention to, but every once in a while, something juicy enough for the mainstream comes along. Today's gossip involves dry-as-chalk New Yorker critic David Denby breaking a press embargo on reviewing The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and the hoopla that's ensued as a result. more ›

Indie-inclined gossip mongers, start speculating now! Bret McKenzie, one half of the short-lived but cultishly adored HBO show Flight of the Conchords is dropping vague tidbits about a possible big-screen adaptation all over the place. more ›

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Tillman will develop and direct a biopic tentatively titled Miles (what is it with this guy and eponymous movie titles?), with input from Davis's son Gregory, who authored a tell-all book about his father called Dark Magus: The Jekyll and Hyde Life of Miles Davis in 2006. “Our intention is to make a feature film that will appeal beyond the worldwide audience of Miles Davis die-hard fans, to also include those who don't know the first thing about the man, and introduce new ears to his music,” said Raynes. “In much the same way that Walk The Line and Ray were able to open the world's eyes to the life stories of Johnny Cash and Ray Charles, respectively, we want to make a film that will do the same justice for Miles Davis." more ›

At last, a website that can tell you what you can stream online, aptly called: Can I Stream It? It's especially handy for those who use multiple websites for their television and movie intake (like a Roku user), and aggregates all of the offerings from Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon (it also includes options on where to purchase the title, from outlets like iTunes). No one wants to check all of those "channels" to find out if they can watch The Big Lebowski, so this is a real time saver. Less typing, more sloth. more ›

Actress Diane Keaton has a new memoir coming out, "Then Again," which dives into her close relationship with her mother, as well as her long term romance/friendship with the one and only Woody Allen. She writes that dating Allen was just like being in a Woody Allen movie...except sexier? "He was even better-looking in real life. He had a great body, and he was physically very graceful," she wrote about ex-boyfriend Warren Beatty Al Pacino Woody Allen. more ›

Are you still without plans for the Rapture Part II? No worries. You can head to the Doomsday Film Festival & Symposium taking place all weekend (well isn't that optimistic), at the 92YTriBeca. They're promising "Deserted streets! Blood-red skies! Total Social Breakdown!" And of course, some good ol' destruction porn. more ›

By this point, we've already seen the geography of our fair city repurposed for the Ultimate Manhattan Movie Map and the Ultimate NYC Super Mario Map. Both are nerdy in their own right, but are they... the nerdiest? NO. Because this is the Ultimate Nerd Guide to New York, just in time for Comic-Con! more ›

Other than a few laughs about chicken dances past, we didn't expect much to come from tonight's reunion of the cast of Arrested Development. Turns out we were dumber than a Blue Man Group alternate understudy: the New Yorker has tweeted that, "Arrested Development coming back for one more TV season before movie." Why would Eustace Tilly lie? more ›

This month, we heard the good news that Matthew Viragh, owner of Williamsburg's Nitehawk Cinema, had been successful in his fight to overturn a state law barring alcohol in movie theaters.

The continuing saga of the John Gotti biopic, aka best movie never made, gets one degree weirder today, with the news that John Travolta flew to Queens to kiss John Gotti's ring in preparation for his role as the titular gangster. more ›
