I woke up this morning to discover that a sequel to Joss Whedon’s much-beloved cult classic “Serenity” may be in the works again! I’ve heard these rumors before, but Moviehole.net had an interview this morning with Alan Tudyk, who played Wash in the movie (and the cancelled Fox TV series “Firefly” that it was based […]

Well, it’s finally here. After a disastrous Cannes screening last year (in which the director referred to his cut of the film as work-in-progress) and a long gestation process of re-focusing and editing, Richard Kelly’s “Southland Tales” finally has a release date. It looks like it will be in limited release on November 9, and […]
