Aussie director Peter Weir has made some great films, but he’s not exactly what you’d call prolific – there was five-year gap between Truman Show and the excellent Master and Commander. Maybe working with the ever-diligent A-lister Johnny Depp will get him to the camera quicker. Weir is now planning to helm Shantaram, based on … Continue reading

Put on your reading glasses, because a very, very tiny version of the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is upon us, and scooper Julia T has given us the treasure map.It’s hidden on the site for … Continue reading
Stanley Tucci is heading back to the director’s chair, this time remaking the film Blind Date. No, not the Blake Edwards one, but the film by Theo Van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker murdered by Muslim extremists. The always great Tony Shaloub will be starring in the movie, along with Patricia Clarkson, whose voice on my … Continue reading
How has it taken this long for Jeremy Piven to become a leading man? It’s criminal, I tell ya! We at CHUD have been following the Piv’s career for years, as he was always a great character actor and sidekick, but it was Entourage that seemed to prove to people what we knew all along … Continue reading

So I figured that when movie-related news is slow, I’ll share a little chunk of history for those who haven’t been with us for … Continue reading
When you wonder what Jesus would blow up, I think the obvious answers are things like abortion clinics, or stores that sell dirty video tapes. I mean, those are the things that really rile up His followers. But it turns out that if your Jesus is Jim Caviezel, He’s gonna blow up a ferry. Gentleman … Continue reading

It looks like I will finally have something to ask Jim Carrey at the upcoming Fun With Dick and Jane press junket. The rubbery (I believe that is the officially sanctioned adjective for him) actor will be starring as Ripley, of Believe it or Not fame, in a new film from Tim Burton. It’s a … Continue reading
I am so ready to revisit the Land of the Dead. George Romero’s fourth zombie film showed him to be a director who keeps on serving up interesting curveballs in his own series – each of the previous three movies had been completely unique, and Land was just as different from the rest. Last month … Continue reading
