Shooting in any city is a challenge, but even more so when you're looking to send a camera down a narrow alleyway in India. Director Wes Anderson plunged forward though, producing this gem of a behind-the-scenes video to give audiences a sense of what goes into the making of his upcoming quirky comedy, "The Darjeeling Limited."
Check out our other exclusive from "The Darjeeling Limited" right here.
Castmember Terrence Howard sure seems to think so, describing "Iron Man" as "a modern-day comparison to what took place in 1973 when this Tony Stark character was invented." The star of "The Hunting Party" also claims that for the sequel, the crew will be "a little more free ... non-responsive to anyone," particularly the Defense Department. Watch him dish out in the video below.
Do you agree with Howard? Is "Iron Man" a political allegory? Speak out in our comments section.
Now that we've put up our dissection on the key differences between Carpenter's "Halloween" and the Rob Zombie remake, I wanted to also mention the alternate ending that Zombie abandoned before he made his final cut.
And don't worry, we always keep things spoiler-free in these parts.
"The train of thought for the ending is, well, you have plans sometimes," Zombie explained when we asked why he abandoned what we'll call the "Dr. Loomis Ending." "And the weirdest thing about movies is it's all planned out, but you just don't know. Sometimes, things that you really think will work work, and sometimes they're like 'eh'." Read more...
If you don't already know who Brian K. Vaughan is, well...you should. The creator of such acclaimed comics as "Ex Machina" and "Y: The Last Man," Vaughan is one of comics' biggest superstars. With "Y" now being adapted as a feature film by "Disturbia" director D.J. Caruso, we thought it'd be a good idea to catch up with the four-color auteur. Get primed on everything BKV in the video below.
The name Peter Fonda brings to mind themes of lawlessness ("Easy Rider"), rebellion (at the end of "Futureworld" he flips the bad guy the bird) and fast-racing joyrides ("Dirty Mary Crazy Larry"). But since it also sums up thoughts of one of Hollywood's greatest families (Henry, Bridget, Jane, etc.), perhaps it's no surprise that the 67-year-old antihero's next flick will be his most family-friendly.
"I'm going to start a film in October called 'A Handful of Beans,'" Fonda revealed to us recently while promoting his bad-ass new Western "3:10 to Yuma." "It's a fairy-tale fable type of a story, a G-rated film. I like the fact that I'll do a G-film."
The flick is a modern-day, time warping tale that plays loosely off other fables like "Shrek," but it will be in live-action. Fonda signed on to the flick earlier this month, but isn't aware of his co-stars just yet. "I haven't the foggiest idea," he laughed. "But I'm in it." Read more...
Recent gory flicks haven't found an audience, but director Rob Zombie insists his remake of "Halloween" will be different. For more, watch the video below, and then check out our point-by-point detailing of the film's in-jokes.
It might be true that Goonies never say die, but a long-rumored follow-up to 80s classic reeks of life support, laughed Corey Feldman, and may in fact have permanently flatlined. At least as a live-action film, teased "The Two Coreys" star.
"Right now they are talking about the idea of doing it as an animated series," Feldman revealed.
An animated "Goonies" follow-up? Count me in. But, then, you could count me in for just about any type of sequel. And there's been plenty that have gotten started but never finished, said Feldman (see concept art here).
"There's been so many," he sighed. "The one that I heard that worked the best was all of us were now grown up, and have [our own] kids. And those kids get into some trouble and end up stumbling across some link to our past. They discover who we really are and what we went through. And, simultaneously, the Fratelli brothers find out that the kids have found out – so they're out to get the kids and the kids are out to save their lives and their families." Read more...

Don't believe the new trailer for Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There." Sure it says Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, and Heath Ledger all are Bob Dylan. But at least one of the stars disagrees.
"There is no Dylan in it," Gere told me a couple days ago. And that reason, for one, is why the icon will like it, Gere believes. "I think he'll like it because it's not attempting to be him. It's a fever dream. I think that's probably the only way you could tell the story of an artist that extraordinary."
Gere said he's seen the film and likes it a lot, calling it "a bizarre script" and "much more expressionistic than people are thinking."
Count me in. And if you're doubting Gere's endorsement, check out the trailer after the jump. Read more...
For a few weeks now, we've been running exclusive columns from Michael Davis, the writer/director of the upcoming action romp, "Shoot 'Em Up," starring Clive Owen, Monica Belluci and Paul Giamatti. His first piece tackled his beginnings, his second revealed how Giamatti channeled Karl Rove, and now he introduces us to the cast of characters behind the camera who helped make his film possible.
In "Shoot 'Em Up,' our hero is the lone man who gets into every gunfight imaginable from a gun battle while he freefalls from an airplane to a shootout while he's making love.
But, to make a film it takes a real posse to get it done. Here the rogue's gallery that had my back: Read more...
