Brett Cullen joins The Runaways

Brett Cullen will join the cast of River Road's "The Runaways," a tale of Joan Jett and her band. Apparently, he'll play the alcoholic father of Runaway member Cherie Currie (played by Dakota Fanning). The role will be taking from Currie's memoir "Neon Angel" which documented her addition.

Veteran on both film and TV offerings, Cullen's previous credits include "Gridiron Gang," "National Treasure," "The Life Before Her Eyes" and "Ghost Rider." One of the most memorable performances I would say is his role in J.J. Abrams' "Lost" series as Goodwin. 

Is Spider-Man Getting Ready For Fatherhood?

When will the speculation end? Last week alone we wrote three posts reporting the possibility that Felicia Hardy/Black Cat would be in the fourth Spider-Man flick. Like it or not, Spider-Man is a national treasure and one of the most beloved characters in pop culture, so we don't really have a choice but to write up everything that comes out about the project. So what is this week's big plot twist in the soap opera that surrounds our favorite ...

Full Alice in Wonderland Triptych Poster Finally Unveiled

Last week, Disney kicked off a small viral with The Mad Hatter on Facebook who was leading us to some "treasure." As we quickly found out, his treasure was a series of three posters for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland that when put together would give us a good look at all the characters from the movie. The complete reveal took a lot longer than Disney expected, and although they didn't even reach their final goal, they just said to hell with it and put out the final poster anyway. So here it is, the complete triptych poster for Alice in Wonderland for your viewing pleasure. Click the photo or head to Flickr to see it in high res. Alice in Wonderland is directed by visionary filmmaker Tim Burton, of everything from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Beetlejuice to Batman to Edward Scissorhands to Mars Attacks to Sleepy Hollow to Charlie and ...

Director Jon Turteltaub On Board for Greenpeace Origin Film

It looks like former Vice President Al Gore isn't the only one pushing green films as Variety reports National Treasure director Jon Turteltaub is next set to direct a film chronicling the birth of Greenpeace, the organization fighting for the protection and conservation of the environment. The yet-to-be titled film will be told through the eyes of the controversial organization's charismatic founding members: Bob Hunter and Rex Weyler as recounted in their respective books Warriors of the Rainbow: A Chronicle of the Greenpeace Movement and Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists, and Visionaries Changed the World. The books (and the feature film to follow) chronicle a group of pacifists, ecologists, musicians, teachers, sailors, and scientists, primarily in the late 1970's and early 1980's, as they set out to disrupt American and French nuclear bomb tests, Japanese and Russian whaling ships and Norwegian infant harp seal hunters. In their frequent successes ...

Jon Turteltaub Giving Greenpeace The National Treasure Treatment

That's right: he's giving Greenpeace the National Treasure treatment. According to Variety, the film will be set in the late 70s and early 80s, when the organization was just getting started thanks to charismatic founding ...

Greenpeace: Origins

John Turtletaub making a film about the origins of the Greenpeace movement is already a strange idea in itself - the NATIONAL TREASURE director isn't exactly the one I'd pick for a serious project. But then it gets weirder: AIRPLANE and NAKED GUN guy Jerry Zucker is producing. With his wife. Nic Cage and Leslie Nielsen take on whale hunters?... The yet-untitled film would chronicle the organization's early days in the... Read More...

National Treasure Director To Helm Greenpeace Movie, Possibly Written By Aaron Sorkin

Jon Turteltaub is best known as the director of the National Treasure films and the upcoming live action movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice. So you can understand why I was a little shocked at first to learn that Turteltaub has signed on to direct Greenpeace, the story of the origin of the controversial conservation organization. It gets even better... According to Variety, West Wing/The Social Network scribe Aaron Sorkin is in early talks to write the screenplay. The narrative will be adapted from two books: Weyler's "Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists, and Visionaries Changed the World" and Hunter's "Warriors of the Rainbow: A Chronicle of the Greenpeace Movement." Aurelius Films has also secured the organization's official cooperation. Set in the 1970s and early 1980s, the story will follow Bob Hunter and Rex Weyler as they led "an eccentric group of pacifists, ecologists, musicians, teachers, sailors, and scientists as they attempted -- often successfully ...
