A cinematic adaptation of the cult 1970s TV series (and it subsequent televised spinoffs) Kung Fu has been in the works for many years. However, as we learned this past fall, the project could finally come together under the supervision of actor/director Bill Paxton and Black Swan co-screenwriter John J. McLaughlin – with the pre-production process moving along steadily enough to possibly make a Summer 2012 production start date. In a recent interview, Paxton (who is currently working on a...Read Full Story

Legendary Entertainment will help put the adaptation together in a...Read Full Story

Holy shit. Bill Paxton, who manages to both confound and inspire with his subdued, irreverent charms, has been immortalized by Benjamin Heckendorn and his mind-blowing pinball montage madness… Sandwiched between these two images of gun-toting bad-assery, it’s difficult to understand why honorific Bill Paxton pinball machines aren’t lining the streets!

It’s funny how so many stars got their start by acting in 80′s horror flicks.  For example, not too many people know that Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) got his early start in “The Burning” from 1981. Mortuary is a good horror movie from the 80s, but like many of the horror films back then, this one was not great at all.  This movie is only a keeper if you enjoy watching...Read Full Story
