Jeremy Renner to Play Mad Max?
Now I didn’t get to watch Mad Max as a kid but due to Fallout, I got to revisit the whole Mel Gibson post-apocalyptic vehicle. It has been 30 years since the first film came out and earlier this year, there were talks about an R-rated 3D anime feature film. (You might think it’d be an Akira rip-off but as far as the post-apocalyptic concept goes, Mad Max came first.) Most recently, co-creator and director George Miller...

These include the original Mark I armor, the...

The project has been part of film and gaming scuttlebutt for quite a while now. The...
Alice in Wonderland movie trailer
If there’s any director who I think will pull off an Alice in Wonderland, it’d be Tim Burton. There might not be a more surreal and more playful director today than Burton and he’s just the kind of creative mind that a demented story such as Alice in Wonderland needs.
