The first official shot of Paul Giamatti as super-villain Rhino has been unveiled by Marc Webb, the director of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Though an earlier, grainer pic gave us an initial glimpse at the character, Webb tweeted the official image of a somewhat angry-looking Giamatti direct from the film’s set. It confirms that the look of the character is somewhat different to what fans know from the comics – in the pages of Marvel, the Rhino wore a grey super-suit that came with a matching horn helmet.

Did you know that Matthew McConaughey hails from a little place called Texas? If his unmistakable southern drawl wasn’t clue enough, his obsession with cowboy hats probably tipped you off.
It’s surely no coincidence that McConaughey’s sudden career renaissance circa 2010 (after years of service in dreadful rom-coms) coincided with his discovery of hats. Though McConaughey doesn’t don one in this week’s Mud, that’s merely a rare blip in his headware romance. Gandalf has his staff. McConaughey has hit hats. Read More…

True Blood star Alexander Skarsgård is the latest actor to be linked to the long-in-gestation new movie version of The Crow. The Swedish actor, who plays vampire Eric on the raunchy HBO series, is currently the frontrunner for the role of Eric Draven in the comic-book fantasy, a man who returns from the dead to avenge the murder of his fiancée.
The Crow first made the leap to the big screen from the pages of James O’Barr’s 1989 comic book in 1994. Directed by Alex Proyas, that version of The Crow starred Brandon Lee, who infamously died on set when a prop gun was accidentally replaced with a real firearm. As in the comics, Lee’s goth-punk costume consisted of tight leather and black-and-white face paint. Read More…

In the nineties, Tom Selleck single-handedly revived the popularity of the moustache with his imminently fashionable face fuzz (when he shaved it off, people stopped recognising him in the streets).
Nowadays, moustaches have mostly been consigned to seasonal charity fads (movember…) and, yes, the movies. This month, it’s Jack Black getting in on the handlebar action with Bernie (out now), in which he plays a Gospel-singing mortician. But he’s not the first to grow out a whiskery lip-hugger in the name of art Read More…

Question: what’s your favourite scary TV show? Back in the nineties, the answer was probably The X-Files or Twin Peaks. Next year, you may have to change that answer to Scream, because the post-modern slasher movie series – which championed that quotable catchphrase, ‘What’s your favourite scary movie?’ – is making its way to the small screen.

Who’d have thought an accessory that serves a totally functional purpose – um, shading your eyes from the sun – could turn out to be so damn cool? It’s one of the golden rules of filmmaking: you want to make your characters look awesome? Film them in slow-mo and shove them in a pair of sunnies. It certainly worked for Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, as well as this bedazzling bunch Read More…
