Society is a film in which a man gets fisted. To the extent that his head is pulled through his bum. Whilst such a sight may be common on Youporn, this may be the first incidence of this occuring in mainstream cinema. Still reading? Brian Yuzna, producer of Re-Animator, made his directorial debut with this satirical tale of the American rich and what goes on behind their closed doorsBilly

Empire magazine spoke to both director Guillermo Del Toro and Producer Peter Jackson for the latest, on the two Hobbit movies, due for release in 2011 and 2012. “We’ve decided to have The Hobbit span the two movies, including the White Council and the comings and goings of Gandalf to Dol Guldur,” says Del Toro. “We decided it would be a mistake to try to cram everything into one movie,” adds

Shock Till You Drop reports that producer Ray Haboush is developing a remake of Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator in conjunction with Brian Yuzna, producer of the original and director of the two sequels.No word on whether Jeffrey Coombs will return (although his performance is the most memorable part of the franchise), but the producers are aiming to make the new film in 3D, which is what the kids are

In odd news of the day, the Hollywood Reporter has indicated that Michel Gondry has stepped in to direct Seth Rogen's Green Hornet update. Gondry is not the obvious fit for the material but it may be that writer / star Rogen has a more fantastical take on the material than previously suggested. Gondry takes over from previous director Stephen Chow, who is still expected to co-star as the Green

Chud.com has an exclusive video interview with Watchmen director Zack Snyder.In other news adverts for the film in the UK carry the rather surprising news that the film will carry an 18 rating for 'strong bloody violence'.  Whilst it's been known for a while the film would be rated R in America, most people were expecting a 15 rating in the UK, suggesting the film's content may be stronger than

Sean Penn ruins Mickey Rourke's day (and saves us from a speech dedicating an award to Rourke's recently deceased Chihuahua) in about the only surprise.  The Curious Case of Forrest Gump only won awards in the technical categories, leaving the main awards for Slumdog Millionaire.   Not a great year overall, and I would imagine none of these films will be remembered in ten years time.Best

Not strictly film related, but the Simpsons begins airing in HD this week. The show's main titles have been reanimated as a result, and the animators have taken the opportunity to insert some new jokes and characters.
