That’s right, The Hauntrepreneur. It’s almost a pun. Almost, but not quite. A bit like Russell Brand was almost a movie star. Almost, but then along came Arthur, and that was that. At least for the moment. Will his latest starring role revive his discombobulated Tinseltown career? Don’t bet the (haunted) house on it…

Well, it will if you’re name is Warner Bros. That’s because the studio is so eager to reunite the ‘wolfpack’ of Bradley Cooper, Zack Galifianakis and Ed Helms for a third Hangover movie that it is apparently prepared to offer them the kind of money which would give any accountant a pronounced stoutening of the groin (er, male accountant that it).

Whether Alex Proyas’ goth-actioner The Crow is a movie which actually requires a shiny 21^st century reboot is a source of some debate. Relativity Media and the Weinstein Company say yes. In fact, until a few days ago, they were squabbling over who wanted to make the movie the most. But those legal differences have now been settled, and a director and writer have been swiftly signed up.

Hollywood loves duplicate storylines (see 1998’s comet-apocalyptic Deep Impact and Armageddon, or 2006’s The Illusionist stage a 19th century magical battle against The Prestige). 2012 is no different. It’s the year of Snow White.

I have two friends in their 30s who, despite living two thousand miles apart, watch every Resident Evil movie in the theater because it was a college tradition. That’s right, folks. This franchise is ten years old, now has five installments, and not one of them has been good.

Behold, the trailer that coined the new term “meta product placement” (cause I just coined it), Sony’s Resident Evil: Retribution!!!!

George Lucas has a new movie out in the US and it has nothing to do with The Force. Rather it is Red Tails, a World War II-set dogfighting saga based around the real-life exploits of a group of African-American airmen. However, having been forced to stump up the full cost of Red Tails‘ production and distribution from his own out-sized pockets, Lucas is apparently feeling rather jaded with big-budget filmmaking – to the point of possible retirement.

The role of Captain America has thrust Chris Evans into leading man territory, what with the Captain America franchise, its planned sequels and a pivotal role in The Avengers, so it’s highly likely we can expect to see more of him, and now we know where to look.

We have a new featurette for you to check out, taking a closer look at Guy Pearce’s space cowboy from the forthcoming sci-fi actioner MS One: Maximum Security. That’s right, the movie formerly titled Lockout is now known as Maximum Security One: Maximum Security. The movie looks like dumb fun and with that title it sounds like it too.

Wes Anderson – what a self-satisfied jerk, eh? Okay, hold it right there! Your reaction to that opening sentence is going to dictate whether you delve any further into this news post. If you nodded in sage agreement, then move right along. There’s nothing for you here. If, however, you reacted with as much righteous indignation as any overgrown slacker can manage, then proceed. You have a treat in store.

Implausible, yes. But also true. The Police Academy story began in 1984 when a movie mayor announced that the police department should accept all willing recruits, resulting in a group of misfits in uniform attempting to prove themselves capable of being police officers. Seven movies later the superglue-in-the-shower and golfballs-in-the-mouth all came to an end with an ill-advised trip to Moscow.
