I don’t know how Tetris is going to be the epic sci-fi film that the studio hopes it will be, but producer Larry Kasanoff says that they have a plan. The producer confirms that the trilogy is really being planned and that the reason it will be a trilogy is because the story they came up with is so big. When asked by Empire if Tetris was really getting a trilogy Kasanoff said:

"That’s correct and purely because the story we conceived is so big. This isn’t us splitting the last one of our eight movies in two to wring blood out of the stone. It’s just a big story."

Kasanoff has produced some high-profile films in his day, which include True Lies, Mortal Kombat, Strange Days, and Beowulf. It will be interesting to see what kind of creative team he brings together for the Tetris movie,...

In honor of Canada Day, we are republishing this post -- Ranylt's first on the site -- from Canada Day 2007.

July 1 is Canada Day, so while my compatriots are busy painting themselves red and perfecting their Maenadic howls in time for tonight's fireworks, I've been tasked with offering up a list of ten nifty Canadian films that are mostly off the radar outside of this country (and I throw my arms around you in delight if you're a foreigner who's actually seen any of these--French kisses for anyone who appreciates them, to boot).

Many readers seem familiar with Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter and Denys Arcand's The Decline of the American Empire. And David Cronenberg's body of work needs no introduction thanks to The Fly, Naked Lunch, Scanners, Crash (the other Crash!) and Videodrome. As unnatural as it is to omit Egoyan, Arcand and Cronenberg from a Canadian film overview,...

Taking home the Oscar for visual effects, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has set a new benchmark in the VFX community.

A believable synthetic human had long been considered the industry's Holy Grail, and the most recent developments in that area allowed lead actor Brad Pitt to, convincingly, age in reverse.

The win also delivered lead VFX facility Digital Domain its first VFX Academy Award in a decade as well as its first since Michael Bay and Wyncrest Holdings acquired the privately-owned company in 2006.

Founded in 1993 by James Cameron, Scott Ross and the late Stan Winston, Dd last won Oscars for achievement in visual effects in 1997 for "Titanic" and in 1998 for "What Dreams May Come." (Over the years, it also won four Sci-Tech Academy Awards.)

Dd VFX supervisor Barba had a succint take on the night's win: "We are back."

In "Button," visual effects played a key role in the storytelling,...

Vikings, aliens, dragony things... This is not an advert for the Norwegian tourist board, but it should be, because we definitely want to visit the bizarro world of the new Outlander trailerCrash landing on Earth, other-worldly Kainan (Caviezel) joins forces with the Viking inhabitants to fight the Moorwen, an alien predator which has already landed on the planet. Using Kainan's advanced alien technology and know-how along with the brute force of the Viking's Iron Age weaponry, it's time for lots of men in furs to slash about themselves with swords while a big scary monster pwns them from the shadows. Think Highlander meets Beowulf (somewhere between the animated one and the Christopher Lambert one) meets Aliens - and if it's not quite as good as the latter, it's nearly as much fun as the former.Outlander stars Jim Caviezel, Jack Huston, Ron Perlman and John Hurt and hits cinemas on...

Are you ready to play 6 degrees of Christopher Lambert?

Just as Cyborg took the Pa genre to new heights of blockbuster silliness 10 years earlier, so too was Graham Baker's Beowulf designed as a treat for genre fans looking to chow down on some pop-corny post apocalyptic fun times at the turn of the new millennium. Basically, this version of Beowulf is a mindless techno-rock monster movie that owes little to its literary source material and more to earlier 90s vidja game movies like Paul Anderson's Mortal Combat (which also starred Chris Lambert... that's 1). However, it's also a film that looks waaay too bloody cool for me to hate it like I know I should and with the added bonus of Rhona Mitra flaunting her womanly wares like it's 1999, well,...
