Is life totally random and meaningless? Or is there some predestination, and thus purpose, behind everything? Knowing, opening today, ponders this question and splits the difference: everything is predestined, but it's still all meaningless. More »

We caused some consternation last week when we said Danny Boyle might be the most gifted director currently working in science fiction. So it's time to settle the issue. Who's really the greatest and most talented director creating science fiction movies today? More »

In Knowing, Nicholas Cage digs up a 1950s time capsule that includes a set of numbers predicting every future disaster — including the end of the world. Is it spiritual? Psychic? No, it's real science, claims director Alex Proyas. The movie's numerical version of clairvoyance is "rooted in a science that we believe holds water," he insists. [MTV Movies] More »

We've already told you that I, Robot director Alex Proyas was denying rumors that he would be directing a Silver Surfer movie, but as he told MTV last week, it's not just the studio involved that's making him stay away. More »

We may never get to see the long-mooted movie of The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, but one of Robert Heinlein's slightly more obscure works is due to become a major motion picture from director Alex Proyas. The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, a disturbing novella about a man who can't remember what he does during the day, will become a psychological thriller, with a love story. Proyas says he loves the Heinlein story... but he also plans to make some changes to it. More »

Rumors that I, Robot and Knowing director Alex Proyas will tackle the Silver Surfer's solo film are completely exaggerated, Proyas told Comic-Con. He's also not interested in directing an I, Robot sequel — or any other 20th Century Fox picture, after the bad experience he had with them. [IF Magazine, thanks Peter] More »

The monster-trashes-New York movie Cloverfield disarmed the "third rail" of dealing with Sept. 11 on film — and now Nicholas Cage is all set to dance on it. Cage's movie Knowing, now being filmed, uses Sept. 11 as a major plot point to set up its apocalyptic storyline. And it plays very explicitly with 9/11-style imagery, as you can see from some new set pics that came out. More »

We were already kind of un-thrilled about Knowing, which stars Nicholas Cage as a professor (with Tourette's syndrome) who digs up a time capsule that can predict the future. But new details make it sound even less exciting. Rose Byrne (above) plays the daughter of the woman who buried the capsule in 1962, and she starts to remember strange events from her childhood after Cage contacts her. Not only does the box predict the Kennedy assassination and the death of Cage's wife, it also claims an apocalypse is happening within the week. The movie's plot sounds a lot like Isaac's clairvoyant paintings from Heroes, plus the fact that Alex (I Robot) Proyas is directing may be a bad sign. [Hollywood Reporter] More »

Nicolas Cage will be starring in Knowing, where he apparently has knowledge about the future, and Tourette's syndrome. Alex Proyas, who also directed Dark City (yay!) and I, Robot (meh) will direct this flick about a man who digs up a time capsule and finds information inside that he and his son might be responsible for the destruction of the world. Whoops. Not sure where the Tourette's fits in, but I guess we'll find out. [Variety] More »

Zack Snyder's Watchmen will keep much of the darkness in Alan Moore's comic, judging from Jeffrey Dean Morgan's angst over playing the Comedian. Morgan, who sports a mustache and icky hair for the role (see photo), has a hard time with some of the Comedian's "morally neutral" ways. There are days that the Grey's Anatomy star finds it a "stretch" to make the rapist and mass-murderer likeable. Or maybe he's just trying to compete with Heath Ledger's Joker angst. [Superherohype]
