For many movie fans, Drew Struzan is the definitive poster artist. His work has brought film series like Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Hellboy to glorious life. But his work on the Back To The Future films remains our favorite. More »

You might think it's odd that The Road and Ninja Assassin both came out just in time for Turkey Day. But those aren't the only counter-intuitive movies that studios have put out for Thanksgiving — here's a complete list. More »

We weren't thrilled by The Mist, last winter's movie of Stephen King's killer-drizzle story. But when we stumbled on this concept art for the film by Swamp Thing co-creator Bernie Wrightson, we started to get excited about what Frank Darabont's Mist movie could have been if it had had a little more Guillermo Del Toro on there. Just check out the slightly forlorn look of The Big Beast, with its slightly obscene mouth protuberance. And click through to see a few more of our faves. The Mist comes out on Blu-Ray soon, according to Darabont. More »

Movies like The Mist, I Am Legend, and Cloverfield depict aliens, monsters from the briny deep, and superviruses hell-bent on driving people out of the cities and off the face of the Earth. But what would really happen tomorrow if everyone suddenly vanished today? A new series on the History Channel called Life After People asks that exact question, and while it looks a bit like 12 Monkeys, it also looks utterly fascinating. Plus their tagline "Welcome To Earth, Population: 0" actually sounds like a great scifi series. Catch it this coming Monday on The History Channel. More »

Stephen King's The Mist is vaporizing from theaters left and right, but there's already another fog-shrouded mutant mist movie heading to your multiplex. Night & Fog, which is in production with Myriad Pictures, has a very familiar-sounding plot: military experiment on a remote island results in monsters in the mist. Got your lawyer on speed dial, Mr. King? More »

The Mist hit theaters Wednesday, and it's been widely circulated that director Frank Darabont's ending in the movie differed vastly from Stephen King's ending to the novella it's based on. But King loves the new ending so much that he opined: More »

By now you've probably seen the trailer a hundred times where a bleeding man comes stumbling into a grocery store screaming, "There's something in the mist!" The same guy could have stumbled onto a boat in Jaws and said, "There's something in the water!" So yes, The Mist isn't exactly breaking into new territory plot-wise: it's a monster movie at heart, although unlike classic monster fare like Jaws or The Thing, The Mist shows us a lot more of the monster(s).

]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=325292&view=rss&microfeed=true The producers of The Mist claimed credit for a "dense foggy mist" that swamped Los Angeles on Monday evening. The fog shut down one of two arrival runways at LAX, forcing the cancellation of a dozen flights. Police blamed one traffic fatality on the freak weather. So it may not have been the best plan for the Weinstein Company to claim responsibility. More »

Frank Darabont recently let it slip that he owns the rights to The Long Walk, which was a short story included in Stephen King's The Bachman Books back in 1979. It's an extremely dark tale set in the near future about a new form of entertainment that has the whole country held in rapt attention, and serves as a strangely fitting commentary on the current state of reality television. A pool of 100 "walkers" are selected to participate in a forced walk where they have to maintain at least a four mile-per-hour pace, or else they "buy their ticket," which isn't exactly a prize. The story follows 16-year-old Ray Garraty, and we see the horrific reality of the walk through his eyes. Garabont has been something of a filmmaking dynamo recently. More »

Of course, we have the advantage of knowing that The Mist is bad from the get go, but come on people .. it's a freaky mist from out of nowhere. What makes them think a bundle of twine is going to keep Andre Braugher safe? More »
