Fortunately Favreau gets a little more out of supporting players Sam Rockwell, Walton Goggins and Adam Beach. I suppose Cowboys & Aliens entertains on some level; the brainless popcorn-munching level, perhaps. But with so many more entertaining sci-fi...

The project itself has been in the works for years with a handful of directors (Jon Favreau and Robert Rodriguez among them) working on it, but never quite cracking the sci-fi space epic. However, it was Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton ("Wall-E," "Finding...

If Kane continues on the pace he has set for himself, he will finish his career as one of the Blackhawks' all-time best. I feel the same way about Roenick as he speaks about Kane, “I am a huge Patrick Kane fan.” Roenick was a great player and is a...

"Marvel's The Avengers" is presented by Marvel Studios in association with Paramount Pictures. The film is being produced by Marvel Studios' President Kevin Feige and executive produced by Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Jon Favreau, Louis D'Esposito, Patricia...

If it were a fudge cartel, I’d believe the casting, but maybe his character doesn’t need to do a lot of running around. He could be a really good sniper or something like that, and could flee explosions on a Jazzy scooter. I think I speak for the...

Ritter has been doing on-location research, and will take part in a "medical boot camp once they cast the rest of it" (so far the only other actor cast is Aimee Garcia). He also has a couple of indie movies awaiting release, "Free Samples" and "I Am I."

It’s like I could sit there and go “I wish the Tharks were a little more muscular” and “I wish it was a little more Frazetta-esque,” just because that’s just the way my imagination had personally gone through it, but your version is an absolutely solid...

Although Telegraph Avenue is a reassuring signal that Chabon hasn’t completely immersed himself in screenwriting these last few years, his dilettantish output (the essay collections, the children’s stories), his rising Hollywood profile, and his...

The twist you can see coming a mile off, and the script is an absolute dog. To see him De Niro some way to undoing all the hard work he and fellow culprit Pacino did in Heat with this lazy cop thriller really is just too much to take. It’s phoned-in...

NBC announced that it had picked up Revolution, a new series from Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and popular film and television producer J. J. Abrams. The nascent Revolution has futher bolstered its talent arsenal by recruiting none other than Jon...

The debut was attended by Gov. Jerry Brown and film director Jon Favreau, who gave Musk a cameo role in the movie "Iron Man 2." Favreau said Thursday he's on the waiting list for a Model S. The Model X has two electric motors and will be available with...

During his 10-minute presentation he unpacked maybe a dozen bags from the front- and rear trunks of the vehicle (the battery lies in the floor) and deftly handled a few awkward moments when the front trunk failed to open because it was packed too tightly.

Since then Ray Harryhausen, John McTiernan, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Robert Rodriguez, Kerry Conran, Jon Favreau and even our own Harry Knowles have tried to make the film a reality. Even though I have been to the set, have seen Stanton directing Tharks and...

In case you didn't infer from the title, Jon Favreau and JJ Abrams are joining forces to bring what sounds like a kickass show to the airways called REVOLUTION. So what's the show about? Deadline describes the show as "a high-octane action drama...

Jon Favreau continues to prep what we think will be his next feature directorial gig, Magic Kingdom , he’s taking some time to work with J.J. Abrams. Favreau will direct the pilot of Revolution , a new drama produced by the Lost/Alias/Felicity/Star...

In the 1980s, John McTiernan was on board with plans for Tom Cruise to star as Carter and in the early aughts, Paramount snagged the rights and went through a series of directors including Robert Rodriguez, Kerry Conran and Jon Favreau. Again, no dice.

We reported on this pilot a week or so ago, which was described in the trades as being a high-concept action-drama that "follows a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have...
