Prepare yourself: A remake of Gremlins is on its way.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Warner Bros. is officially moving ahead with a remake to the 1984 classic produced by Steven Spielberg, directed by Joe Dante and written by Chris Columbus. Gremlins is the film about a boy who breaks three important rules when it comes to his new pet Mogwai (the awesome Gizmo) and unleashes some nasty creatures upon his little town.

A director and writer have yet to be found but Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg will produce. Grahame-Smith also has writing experience with Dark Shadows and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, so it’s likely that he may write the screenplay.

This is already shaping up to be a disaster. The original is a classic and something that shouldn’t be messed with as it still holds up. But everybody’s into the remake business nowadays so let’s prepare ourselves for a bunch of CGI gremlins causing mayhem (in 3D).

Tom Welling is the newest member of Draft Day.

According to Deadline, Welling has landed a role in Draft Day, an Ivan Reitman-directed film about a Cleveland Browns general manager (played by Kevin Costner) who attempts to trade up for the first pick in the NFL draft. Welling will play Brian Drew, a “veteran quarterback in the crossroads of his career.”

Welling, who is best know for playing Clark Kent/Superman on the CW’s Smallville, joins an already solid cast. Along with Costner, Jennifer Garner, Denis Leary, Chadwick Boseman, Terry Crews and Frank Langella will also star.

Since Reitman (Ghostbusters, Junior, Kindergarten Cop) and the story involves the Cleveland Browns becoming an actual decent football team, I’m just going to go ahead and assume Draft Day is going to be a comedy. That’s the only plausible explanation, right?

Draft Day already started shooting, getting real footage from last month’s NFL draft. The film is expected to open sometime next year.

If there is anything that Steve Jablonsky is really great at, it’s scoring sci-fi movies. Well it’s being reported that Jablonsky is going to get the nod to score Gavin Hood’s new film, Ender’s Game, which will end up being a great choice. Jablonsky’s score for the Transformsers films are absolutely incredible and is the best superhoero/comic book movie score of all-time in my opinion.

Jablonsky has written some really great scores for reality-based films such as Pain & Gain, Gangster Squad, Desperate Housewives and other documentaries. On Episode 10, we discussed his score Pain & Pain quite a bit as it was one of the better parts of that film (I would also say the same thing for Gangster Squad as well).

However, Jablonsky shines more in the fantasy/sci-fi world, which is where he’s really great. As I mentioned, his Transformers score is absolutely amazing, but he’s also written great scores for Battleship (the only good thing in that film), Gears of War (video game), Command & Conquer (video game), The Island and the animated film, Steamboy.

Personally, I think this is a really great choice. He’s done a great variety of work, which will give Hood many options as far as the direction he wants to go with the score.

Ender’s Game stars Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Viola Davis, Nonso Anozie, Stevie Ray Dillmore, Andrea Powell, Moises Arias, Conor Carroll, Aramis Knight, Brandon Soo hoo, Jimmy “Jax” Pinchak, Suraj Parthasarathy and Khylin Rhambo.

In the near future, a hostile alien race called the Formics have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young minds to find the future Mazer.

Ender’s Game opens in theaters November 1, 2013.

Want to know what Paul Giamatti’s The Rhino will look like in next summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Well, here you go.

Director Marc Webb recently tweeted a photo of Giamatti as Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich AKA The Rhino (top photo). He’s obviously mad about something, probably has something to do with Spider-Man (bottom photo, courtesy of SuperHeroHype).

Giamatti is a great actor and he usually plays a pretty good villain, so it will be interesting to see his take on The Rhino. I’m also curious if he will get any screentime with the other villain, Jamie Foxx’s Electro. Spider-Man is going to have his hands full.

The Amazing Spider-Man opens in theaters on May 2, 2014.

These new Man of Steel posters are just absolute torture. I need to see this film immediately.

Man of Steel hits theaters on June 14.

Robert Downey Jr. better learn how to cook.

According to Deadline, Downey Jr. will reteam with Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director and co-star Jon Favreau for the ensemble comedy Chef. Favreau wrote the script and will direct.

Chef, an original idea from Favreau “about a man who loses his job as a chef and starts a food truck to reclaim his artistic promise,” will also star Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and Bobby Cannavale.

Downey Jr. is pretty much the biggest movie star in the world right now and can do whatever he wants. He’s a very funny guy and I like that’s he’s moving away from the bigger franchises like Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes he’s been involved with recently.

It’s not surprising to me that this is the case given the fact there has been little marketing, but 300: Rise of an Empire has been pushed back until March 7, 2014. The original release date was August 2nd so it’s weird that there would be very little marketing and zero trailers. Warner Brothers announced that it will take the slot originally filled with Doug Liman’s film, All You Need is Kill.

In a statement yesterday, Warner Brothers said that they wanted to start off the year in an epic fashion, similar to its predecessor, 300. This is probably a smart if there’s nothing to compete with it. The spring time tends to be hit or miss so if it stands out, it could get a lot more people in the seats than toward the end of summer.

What you guys think, good idea?

William Fichtner just made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles worth watching.

According to Deadline, Fichtner will be playing “a lead with iconic stature in the Turtles‘ mythology” in the Michael Bay-produced film. Based on that description, I would say Fichtner will be playing Shredder, which would be absolutely awesome.

Fichtner can be seen in this summer’s The Lone Ranger and Elysium.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is expected to hit theaters on June 16, 2014.

One of the most under-the-radar movies coming out this summer in my opinion is Louis Leterrier’s, Now You See Me. This movie seems to have an interesting story and it has an incredible cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Jessie Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson and Isla Fisher to name a few. Anyway, the marketing for this film has almost been non-existent and it’s probably due to the fact the budget is tied up in all the casting for the film.

Well Lionsgate has released the first four minutes of the film in an effort to get people excited about the movie. People haven’t really been talking about this film much, but it seems interesting so I think this is a good movie on Lionsgate’s part. Whether or not it sparks the right buzz is a different question. Now You See Me comes to theaters May 31.

What do you think? Is this a good idea? Comment and let us know!

Shane Black has found his next film.

According to The Wrap, Sony has closed a deal with Black to co-write and direct Doc Savage, which will reportedly be his next film. Doc Savage is a pulp character from the 1930s and 40s who appeared in novels, films, comic books, radio and television. He is a man of many trades who has been trained since birth to be nearly superhuman in every way. He uses his skills and powers to punish evil around the world.

Black recently directed Iron Man 3, which has grossed over $740 million worldwide and had the second-highest domestic opening of all-time last weekend. It was only a matter of time before he’d get hit up for his next film – which we all know will feature lots of comedy and some crazy twists and turns.

It’s been announced that Jurassic Park 4 has been put on hold and will be pushed back to a later date. Universal Pictures was very eager to get the film out as a big summer movie in 2014, but that gave little time for newly hired Colin Trevorrow and company to get production done in time, especially given the fact there will likely be lots of CG. At this time, they aren’t sure when production will resume. Here’s the official statement issued yesterday by Universal:

“In coordination with filmmakers, Universal has decided to release Jurassic Park 4 at a later date giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal’s beloved franchise. We could not be more excited about the vision that Colin Trevorrow has created for this film, and we look forward to watching as he and the producers create another great chapter in this franchise’s storied history.”

At this time I speculate that it’s still going to happen and Universal still seems happy to have Trevorrow on board, but they want to give him plenty of time to make sure the film is up to par. Given the fact that Jurassic Park 3 was a little bit of a let down, I imagine they will put everything they can into lifting the franchise back up to the first two films. Let’s not forget, this is also Trevorrow’s first big film and he may need that extra time to really make it grandioso. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comment section.
