In an interview with MTV Caine had this to say, "Johnny Depp is great in anything, but there is no Johnny Depp in this Batman. They tell me in no uncertain terms." Apparently Caine is done predicting potential cast mates after basically being told to keep his mouth shut. Another deta...

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy Teaser Debut
Freddy is back! Robert Englund has hung up his sweater and glove and is being replaced by Jackie Earle Haley in A Nightmare on Elm Street. To generate some buzz for the film a full-length documentary is being created. The teaser has been released on Youtube. The trailer features Heather Langenkamp, who we saw in previous Elm Street films as Nancy Thompson. I believe Haley is a great selection for the remake. He did a great job as Rorschach in Watchmen and just gives off that same creepy vibe ...

Next up for Madden…World Domination?
Just when we thought Madden couldn't get any bigger, today comes word from EA Sport President, Peter Moore, that Madden ‘10 is already ahead of Madden '09 in pre-sale numbers. I just got the latest pre-sales numbers for Madden... and we're now marginally ahead year-on-year with about ten days to go, last year on this call we talked about pre-sales and whether they were really a key indicator anymore for what the strength of the title is going to be out of the blocks... but we're margi...

T.J. Houshmandzadeh Boycotting Madden ‘10
Every year player ratings are always a hot topic. This year will be no different. Since, like you, I am but a mere consumer, I will never have the privilege of actually being rated in Madden. I’ve always wondered what it was like to be on the other side of the fence. What if I was player? Would I pay any real attention to my ratings? Would I care what someone locked in a room over at EA Tiburon thought of my skills? Well Seattle Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh helped answe...

A couple of gamers get together and try to sue one of the largest video game makers in the world over a sports game? Usually it’s some die hard NFL 2K fan coming up with some whacky scheme to sue EA Sports in hopes of them losing their exclusive license with the NFL. This time around, we aren’t just talking about gamers. We are also throwing in an Economics professor the University of Michigan. Gamepolitics.com has the story: A Unive...
