Transporter was gay?

JoBlo's Movie Emporium News - 1 hour 2 min ago
Could Frank Martin, the titular "transporter" from the popular action series THE TRANSPORTER, be gay? I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the films were a little homoerotic but I didn't think Jason Statham's character was literally a homosexual. Turns out though that's exactly what Louis Leterrier, director of TRANSPORTER 2 and later THE INCREDIBLE HULK, had in mind. Leterrier said that he shot the second TRANSPORTER... Read More...

JoBlo's Movie Emporium News - 1 hour 7 min ago
We all know that Brett Ratner is attached to direct BEVERLY HILLS COP IV and today we have some story details as Latino Review take a look at the script that is currently in place.

Rome: The Movie?

JoBlo's Movie Emporium News - 2 hours 58 min ago
HBO hoped to have a huge hit on their hands when they launched the big-budget drama series "Rome" with a time slot directly after "The Sopranos." While the drama, co-produced with the BBC, had decent ratings and wound up with 11 Emmys in two years, it was also insanely expensive and "Rome" was canceled after two years. But that might not be the end of the show that HBO executives later claimed they prematurely... Read More...

Apes Prequel?

JoBlo's Movie Emporium News - 8 hours 8 min ago
I wasn't a huge fan of Tim Burton's remake of PLANET OF THE APES, and I think it's safe to say I wasn't the only one who shared that sentiment. It baffles me then, that 20th Century Fox is said to be interested in remaking CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, the story of Caesar, the first ape with speech who started the events that led to a world where monkeys ruled. Fox's Tom Rothman says: We are very close at... Read More...

Gambit First Look

JoBlo's Movie Emporium News - 11 hours 9 min ago
Ever since I heard Gambit's thick, cajun drawl in the original X-men animated series, he became and has since remained my favorite of all the heroic mutants. It's fitting then, that one of my favorite young actors working today--Taylor Kitsch--is portraying the explosive ladies man in the upcoming WOLVERINE. Kitsch plays badboy Tim Riggins on the critically acclaimed series "Friday Night Lights" which is perhaps my... Read More...

Fame Cast Grows

JoBlo's Movie Emporium News - 12 hours 6 min ago
To say things have been slow round these parts lately would be a gross understatement. The other night I was considering posting a story about Jim Carrey sneezing but i figured a line had to be drawn somewhere. Hopefully with the holidays coming to a close, things will pick up this week and I won't have to post stories about Kelsey Grammer, Charles S. Dutton, Megan Mullaly, Debbie Allen and Bebe Neuwirth's casting as the... Read More...
