Another big name director has refuted reports that he is working on a Star Wars project. Zack Snyder was reported by Vulture to be working on a film in the Star Wars universe that was not Episode VII, but the Watchmen director has now denied he is doing the project.

The reported film was controversial: A spin-off of Akira Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai set in the Star Wars universe. The movie has since been re-imagined several times, including the Western film Magnificent Seven. Kurosawa was a huge influence on Star Wars creator George Lucas; Star Wars Episode IV was written with the Jap...

Henry Cavill, who's playing Superman in "Man Of Steel," will appear at Comic-Con on Saturday, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.

There has been much speculation over whether the actor would be attending the massive fan event in San Diego, and the Comic-Con schedule didn't reveal much about the panel for the film. The film's director, Zack Snyder, will also be attending. Other stars, including Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe, are not expected to be there.

Born on the alien planet of Krypton, Kal-El (Cavill) is sent by his parents to live on Earth, where he named Clark and raised by farmer ...

The one good thing about being a critic is the ability to come home after a screening and either rant or rave about a flick. Truth be told they’re not all geared to pique your interest, liking or fall somewhere in between, but when there’s one that just rips through you and takes control over your mind, body and soul…it’s a high beyond anyone’s comprehension. The rush I’ve just explained resonated with me during my IMMORTALS screening, sure, it was over-the-top, but the impact this film had within me is beyond an emotional rush! After this film was done, it was more like an emotional rape a...

You awaken to a rabid 8 year old viciously chewing on your husband’s neck. A dark army, more than a million strong, bears down upon you and your kingdom. A masked man breaks in during the night and throws you out a window. A giant samurai statue engages you in battle, all the while feathery, cartoon owls fly around you. You are in the strange and violent world of Zack Snyder. Hang on; you’re in for a wild ride.

Zack Snyder, the director of the upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel, has had the strangest start to a career of any director in recent memory. Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, Le...

British actor Henry Cavill is pushing his body "beyond its normal limits" as he prepares to play Superman in "Man Of Steel," eating a massive 5,000 calories a day to bulk up for the action man role.

The Tudors star landed the coveted role in Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan's new blockbuster earlier this year, and he's been training - and eating - hard ahead of filming.

He tells Total Film magazine, "I'm on 5,000 calories a day... You've got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs... you've gotta keep your hunger levels going.

"I'm training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing m...

If he signs on, he'll join Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner in the movie.

Hudgens stars alongside Emily Browning and Abbie Cornish in the Zack Snyder movie, which tells the story of a young woman who is involuntarily committed to a mental institution.

A series of dream sequences reveal the hospital as a brothel filled with scantily-dressed dancers and the actresses' saucy outfits prompted criticism of the film's erotic undertones, with a writer for movie magazine Variety branding it "fantasy fodde...

Actor Michael Shannon has landed the coveted villain role in the upcoming reboot of the Superman franchise.

The Revolutionary Road star will play General Zod opposite British hunk Henry Cavill as the young superhero - and director Zack Snyder is delighted with the casting.

He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Zod is not only one of Superman's most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don't. Michael is a powerful actor who can project both the intelligence and the malice of the character, making him perfect for the role."

Actress Emily Browning is fuming after her new movie Sucker Punch was labeled "sexist" in its portrayal of women, as she's adamant the story shows "girls breaking free."

The new Zack Snyder movie stars Browning as a girl called Baby Doll, who is locked up in an asylum after she is accused of causing her sister's death. The hospital is later revealed to be a brothel as the lead character plots her escape in a series of imaginative dream sequences.

The movie has met with mixed reviews and some critics have taken aim at the film's erotic undertones, with movie magazine Variety branding it ...

When Marvel Studios decided to put together next year's mega blockbuster "The Avengers," they made the bold choice to include all the actors and characters from their other superhero franchises, including "Iron Man"'s Robert Downey Jr., "Captain America"'s Chris Evans and "Thor"'s Chris Hemsworth. The ambitious shared world continuity is like nothing seen on film before and it has led comic book fans to pretty much go out of their skulls with rapture.

But there's at least one group of people who don't think it's a good idea: the executives at Warner Bros.

In an interview with the website ...

Oscar nominee Amy Adams will steal the heart of new Superman Henry Cavill after landing the role of Lois Lane in the upcoming reboot of the comic book franchise.

The Fighter star learned she would be putting on her reporter's hat on Sunday after receiving the good news from director Zack Snyder.

The filmmaker admits it was no easy task casting the highly-coveted part - but he knew Adams was the one from the moment he saw her.

He tells the Los Angeles Times, "There was a big, giant search for Lois. For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditio...

Your enjoyment of Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch” is entirely dependent on what type of film that piques your interest. If you are looking for a story about scantily clad women wielding heavy weapons, then you will be thoroughly satisfied. However, if you are seeking a tale that makes social commentary about the objectification of women, then you will be sorely disappointed.

Snyder’s first original work focuses on Baby Doll (Emily Browning), a girl who has experienced a traumatic series of events following her mother’s death. After her stepfather finds out that he has been left out of the ...

Australian actress Abbie Cornish, who stars in the big-budget fantasy film Sucker Punch (which opens this week), adorns the cover of the April issue of GQ magazine, on sale now.

Abbie's outfit, above, features a bodysuit by Louis Vuitton, along with Victoria's Secret bra, fishnet stockings by Wolford and a pair of red high-heels by Melissa. The image is from a series of outtakes that didn't make it into the new issue. Check out more pics here (you won't be disappointed!)

Emily Browning was left fuming after her sex scene with Jon Hamm in Sucker Punch was axed from the upcoming action movie in a bid to please U.S. censors.

The Australian beauty gets intimate with the Mad Men actor in Zack Snyder's latest project, in which she plays a young woman who is involuntarily committed to a mental institution.

However, the 22 year old was outraged after learning Snyder was forced to chop down the film after officials at the Motion Picture Association of America took offense at the racy scene.

She tells Nylon magazine, "I had a very tame and mild love scene with J...

Things were pretty busy for me last week, since I had the chance to see three of the films premiering and interview the writer and director for one of them. I saw “Paul,” “Limitless,” and “The Lincoln Lawyer,” all of which were reasonably enjoyable.

Check out my reviews of “Paul” and “Limitless” if you have not already and definitely read my interview with writer Leslie Dixon and director Neil Burger, for their movie “Limitless.”

I haven’t posted a review of “The Lincoln Lawyer” yet, so I’ll summarize my thoughts for you as usual. Even as a shyster attorney, who makes a living defe...

ZOD!!

All caps, and with at least two exclamation points -- there's just no other way to say the Kryptonian General's name. Terence Stamp saw to that with his portrayal of the maniacal villain in "Superman II," way back in 1981.

And now it looks as if the evil General will clash with the Man of Steel once again in Zack Snyder's "Superman" reboot -- this time in the form of Viggo Mortensen, according to Heat Vision.

Viggo Mortensen as General Zod? Err, sorry, General ZOD?! Yes, please. YES!!

Viggo isn't even in official negotiations to join the production -- he's currently but a "person...

British actor Henry Cavill had to pass the costume test before he won the role of Superman in Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder's new movie - he had to wear a replica of the outfit Christopher Reeve wore in 1978.

The producer and director had to make sure their pick for the Man of Steel looked the part - and insisted on putting him in the much-maligned suit Reeve's Superman wore.

Snyder tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "If you can put on that suit and pull it off, that's an awesome achievement."

The Tudors star Cavill admits he was worried about what he'd look like in the replica out...

Vanessa Hudgens appears in the March issue of Details magazine and its clear this starlet, best known for a puppy-love romance with Zac Efron, has finally shed her squeaky-clean image. Hudgens can be seen in this month's Sucker Punch, a Zack Snyder film in which she plays a gun-toting asylum inmate, but right now she can be seen as an all-grown-up sex symbol!

Vanessa fidgets a lot at the beginning of the interview but says "I'm not nervous, I'm excited. I get excited. I'm, like, a very hyper energetic, crazy type of crazy. I have a lot going on. Always. I'll dance on a table sober."
