I read the script for Heatseekers back in 2010, when a screenwriting teacher of mine praised it as an example of a movie script that described action well. Written by George Mahaffey, it’s about an ex-military pilot that infiltrates a group of aerial pirates. It was a notable script because it was one of the few […]

I enjoyed the first film, but didn’t love it as much as others seemed to. It had fun fight scenes and that was about it. I’ll […]
The phrase for today is team up. Zak Penn, the guy who wrote X-men: The Last Stand (blecht!) and The Incredible Hulk (eh), is teaming up with lead writer of The Fast and the Furious franchise (meh), Chris Morgan, to create a movie that described as “an action film in the vein of […]
Variety.com reports that Joss Whedon will (wait for it… wait for it…) write and direct The Avengers sequel. Not a huge surprise there given the massive success of Avengers, but still it’s good to know that the next installment will be in good hands. Marvel and Disney (which owns Marvel) trust Joss’s hands so much that they’ve […]
