Juan Antonio Bayona, director of superb 2007 horror flick The Orphanage and 2012 disaster drama The Impossible, has been signed to direct the sequel to the Brad Pitt-starring, 2012 blockbuster World War Z.

Sequels Dominate The Box Office: Despicable Me 2 and Grown Ups 2 Outshine Pacific Rim
July 14th, 2013 Adrian Garza It’s just a fact that history likes to repeat itself. In the same way that Monsters University was the highest selling movie for two weekends in a row earlier this month, Despicable Me 2 has done the same, according to estimates. Grown Ups 2 also made its mark, pulling in $42.5 million, slightly less than […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Pacific Rim
July 12th, 2013 James Shotwell Film: Pacific Rim Starring: Charlie Hunnam Directed by: Guillermo Del Toro After what has felt like a year of having the phrase “In order to fight monsters, we created monsters of our own” shoved in our faces through every advertising avenue imaginable, the time has finally come for the world to feast its collective eyes […]
BATTLE BOTS: Check Out The ‘Pacific Rim’ Convention Trailer
April 29th, 2013 James Shotwell Promotion is well underway for Guillermo Del Toro’s epic blockbuster, Pacific Rim, and this morning another piece of footage was released to keep fans chomping at the bit for the Summer release.

Weekend Box Office Results: January 18-20
January 20th, 2013 Adrian Garza This weekend saw Zero Dark Thirty losing it’s spot to the new kid on the block: Guillermo Del Toro’s latest dark brain-child: Mama. To my own personal surprise, Schwarzenegger’s latest flick, The Last Stand, hardly made a dent on this weekend’s top 10 films with only $6.3 million in sales and a spot on the […]
MOVIE REVIEW: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
December 15th, 2012 Grace Duffy It’s been nine years since our last visit to Middle-earth, and yet it feels like we’ve hardly been away at all. Lord of the Rings was the cinematic event of the early Noughties, leaving an indelible mark on many a youngster and inner youngster. At the time, having just come off one of the riskiest […]
Joss Whedon To Write And Direct Avengers 2
August 8th, 2012 Grace Duffy Excitement abounds from the movie mill this morning, as Disney and Marvel have announced that Joss Whedon will return to write and direct The Avengers 2.

EDITORIAL: “Prometheus: How the Sci-Fi Flick’s R-Rating Helped It Conquer Audiences Worldwide”
June 12th, 2012 Boris Paskhaver Earlier this year, Universal cancelled a proposed $150 million adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness when director Guillermo del Toro refused to settle for less than an R-rating. A fervent devotee of the novella, the Pan’s Labyrinth director had been working on the script for more than half a decade and didn’t […]
Get Ready, A “Pinocchio” Prequel Is On The Way
October 17th, 2011 James Shotwell I don’t know how many people saw the box office report this weekend, but Real Steel is once again number one and Fox’s prequel/remake of The Thing failed miserably. You’d think studios would start to realize the hype of remakes, prequels, and sequels is starting to die down, but as you’ll soon learn that seems […]
MOVIE TRAILER: Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark
May 29th, 2011 James Shotwell Guillermo Del Toro has never been one to disappoint. His the lush liveliness of his films, regardless of genre or theme, is something few, if any directors living today can or have duplicated. His latest, a horror film with a seemingly straightforward plot, looks simpler than before, but just as stimulating. Don’t Be Afraid Of […]
RUMOR: Darth Vader Returns From Dead, Fans Die of Sadness
November 12th, 2012 Tyler Osborne I absolutely hate that Star Wars got announced for new movies purely because there’s loads and loads of rumors flying around that probably have little to no substantiating evidence. Alas, UTG is a group of Star Wars nerds, and we are going to cover a lot of those rumors. But we promise to at least […]
