Browsing: Andy Serkis

While Matt Reeves is still finalizing the cast for his upcoming “The Batman” film starring Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader, some outlets are running wild with “casting updates.” The two from today are….surprising. Andy Serkis for Alfred Pennyworth. Sure….that’s…..a choice. Variety says the actor/director is being looked at for the stately Wayne family butler […]

Amusing to see Sir Patrick Stewart returning to the realm of swords and magic as the wizard Merlin in the upcoming 20th Century Fox film, The Kid Who Would Be King. (If you were unaware, Stewart appears in 1981’s classic Excalibur as Lord Leondegrance, father of Guenevere.) A new trailer for the young adult adventure […]

It would appear that Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis are pairing up again, at least when it comes to the Mortal Engines panel during New York Comic-Con (NYCC) next week. It was announced this morning that Serkis will be moderating the panel all about Christian Rivers’ upcoming film, as well as a world premiere of the first 8 […]

Back in the day of A Bug’s Life and Antz, having two films cover roughly the same story/setting wasn’t such a strange and rare occurrence. We were reminded of this when Andy Serkis announced his plans for a live-action/CGI version of Rudyard Kipling’s classic The Jungle Book, called Mowgli, coming hot on the heels of Jon Favreau’s Jungle Book. Andy Serkis, of course, […]

Next up on the MCU slate is Black Panther, the solo story of the Wakandan prince-turned King we first met in Captain America: Civil War.  The amount of excitement around this film is just unreal, and we can’t wait to experience what director Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale, Creed) has created. Today, Marvel (and the cast) released 7 new […]

We were lucky enough to have the privilege to sit down with Andy Serkis during San Diego Comic Con this year. We talked about several things, but mostly about the absolutely incredible revamping of the Planet of the Apes series. Andy loves what he does, and War for the Planet of the Apes is a testament to […]

There are so few GOOD examples of remakes and reboots in the world, but the one that leaves them all in the dust is 2011’s Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.  Who would have thought the much maligned yet treasured 60s franchise would translate so strongly to modern CGI and audiences? I try really hard […]

Everyone’s favorite mo-cap expert Andy Serkis is making his directorial debut with his version of The Jungle Book, which will be directly competing with Jon Favreau’s upcoming Disney adaptation. In Serkis’s version, the Hollywood Reporter says Sherlock/Smaug/Khan Benedict Cumberbatch will be voicing the villainous ShereKhan, the tiger with a fear of fire. In Favreau’s version, ShereKhan will […]

San Francisco gets very few Hollywood style red carpet events, and the most recent of these was the premiere for the upcoming Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.  The pillars of the Palace of Fine Arts made for a spectacular backdrop for the stars and crew, fog machines and hidden speakers in the trees playing […]

In the realm of classic Hollywood remakes, there are only a handful of good ones.  None as pleasantly wonderfully surprisingly good as Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.  We had to deal with that horrible 2001 Tim Burton flick, and it almost felt like 10 years just wasn’t long enough to get rid of the […]
