Steven Spielberg’s Hook is one of my favorite movies of all time. I watched it so many times when I was a kid, I can’t even look at it objectively anymore. (We talked about it on an episode of my podcast, which you can listen to here.) Spielberg put a new spin on the Peter Pan at a time when “reboot” was a word that was just associated with computers, and I unabashedly still love that movie.

Take a look below and let us know what you think. click to continue…
As expected, MGM and Sony have released the first teaser trailer for the 23rd Bond movie Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes.
It runs for just over a minute and starts off quite solemn, but it picks up with some great shots from China and we get some action in the form of gunfire and a train derailment (possibly the London Underground?)

A new Highlander film has been in the works for a few years now, with one-time Bioshock director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo at the helm. Nothing has really happened with it, but it appears that the project just got a shot in the arm because Variety reports that talks have begun with Ryan Reynolds to take on the role of the immortal swordsman.
