You'd think a giant ape would be enough animal for anyone. Not Naomi Watts, who has signed up to headline an adaptation of Amy Sutherland's book Kicked, Bitten and Scratched: Life and Lessons at the World's Premiere School For Exotic Animal Trainers. (Buy the… Continue reading
When I read comics more frequently, there was nothing quite as depressing as the super-indie writer who bounced to Marvel or DC only to churn out crap. That first moment of promise where we hoped a real artist could break through the massive wall of editorial… Continue reading
Few were surprised or upset when Katie Holmes, considered by many to be the weakest link in Christopher Nolan's Batman revival, dropped out of the sequel a while back. And with other, juicier casting news to think about, the subject of Holmes' replacement… Continue reading
