I have a lot of fond memories playing Twisted Metal with my brothers on the original PlayStation in the mid-90s. It was just such an incredibly fun game that focused on vehicular combat, which included lots of explosions, gunfire, heavy metal, carnage, and the sounds of roaring motors.
There was actually a movie in development at one point with director Brian Taylor at the helm. He's one of the guys who directed films such as Crank and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence. Both of those were extremely wild films and he wanted to bring his crazy high-octane style to Twisted Metal and he wanted to bring Nicolas Cage along for the ride. Seems like the perfect combination of talent for a film like Twisted Metal!

“That was gonna be badass… batshit.” You may remember that the Twisted Metal video game franchise was going to be turned into a feature film by Sony back in 2012, with Crank and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance co-director Brian Taylor at the helm.

The Poster Posse is back, and they have come together to pay tribute to Ridley Scott's classic sci-fi horror film Alien, which celebrated its 35th Anniversary this year. I can't believe it's been 35 years since that movie was released! The movie launched the career of Sigourney Weaver and introduced the world to the Xenomorph, one of the most terrifying aliens in the history of film.
I've included several pieces of art that have been submitted for the first phase of this tribute project below.

HollywoodNews.com: It was yet another ‘photo-finish’ at the box office over this President’s Day weekend, but as always, it’s the hard numbers rather than the arbitrary rankings that matter. But since we need to decide which movies to discuss first, in order we shall go! For the moment, it appears that Safe House will top the charts in its second weekend after barely missing the top slot last weekend. It grossed $23.9 million over the Fri-Sun weekend and $28 million over the holiday. Safe House will have grossed $82 million by Monday, a rather huge total for Mr. Washington. In just eleven days, Safe House is Washington’s 7th-biggest grosser, out-grossing such films as Training Day ($76 million), Man On Fire ($77 million), and Unstoppable ($81 million). Barring a complete collapse, Safe House should become Denzel Washington’s fifth $100 million grosser over the next weekend, with an outside shot of...
