Fourth ‘Blade’ Film In The Works?
2004's Blade:Trinity was the last time we saw Wesley Snipes on the big screen as the vampire slayer 'Blade'. And let's just say that was easily the worst of all three 'Blade' films. Arrow in the Head had the chance to talk with Snipes about a fourth 'Blade' film and if he'd be interested in reprising his role as the 'Day Walker'. While out pimping the film at a recent junket, AITH scored this exclusive scoop from Snipes about the possibilities of a fourth BLADE movie: Snipes said that ther...

Sequel To S.W.A.T. In Development
Released in 2003 S.W.A.T. was a relatively entertaining but forgettable film that had a solid cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, and Jeremy Renner. It wasn't the huge smash hit that some had expected but on a budget of $80 million it ended up making $116 million domestically and the worldwide total gross finished with over $200 million. So it may be more of a surprise that a sequel hasn't happened already than the news today that one is in the works. Benny Boom (Next Day Air) ...

This represented the largest opening weekend gross in the career of both director Martin Scorsese (The Departed $26.9 million) and star Leonardo DiCaprio (Catch Me if You Can $30.1 million).

AMC May Boycott Alice in Wonderland
A fascinating story has been brewing over the last couple weeks as Disney attempts to push forward with a plan to shorten the theatrical runs of its films. Generally movies are available to theaters for 17 weeks before they can move to DVD. Disney however is trying to change that to just 12 weeks with the first being Alice in Wonderland which is slated to open on March 5th. (more…)...

New Kick-Ass Red Band Trailer
Lionsgate continues rolling out restricted material for Kick-Ass. As I've written about in past articles they are faced with the necessity of displaying the nature of the film which is explicit with language and violence. That hasn't come across well in the advertising for general audiences however the restricted clips and most recently the red band international trailer have delivered it much better. Today brought the release of the domestic red band trailer. The movie is based on the comi...

Weekend Box Office Predictions 2/19
Only one new film enters the marketplace this weekend as Shutter Island looks to capture the top spot at the box office. If you haven't already make sure to check out my review. It will have to fend off the strong performers from last weekend but seems primed to take away the crown from Valentine's Day. When Shutter Island was moved back from October of last year it was done to give it breathing room, place the studio in a position to fully support it (including a potential Oscar run), and ...
