REPORT: Mad Max emerges from Thunderdome on Fury Road

It costs too much money to make all those original Hollywood flops that no one pays to see, so new movie news these days is mostly a succession of "We're rebooting/remaking/doing a sequel for [insert any movie made before this year]." So even though Paranormal was shot for $10,000 and made $22 million last weekend, the big news is Mad Max is going the Rocky route, coming in for episode four: Mad Max: Fury Road. For all of us who do want another hero and do want to know the way home, Mad Max probably won't be him or show us this time ... Read more →

VIDEO: Movie cars are strange - VW Bug-powered R34 Skyline from F&F Jonathon Ramsey

Quick Review: Raptor - Born in Baja is Rocky for pickup trucks 4 months ago on Autoblog

Autoblog went to the premiere of Raptor - Born in Baja, and while the film is on the long side, it's an enjoyable flick. We wrote before that the truck "only" came in third (out of four total trucks in Class 8), but to finish the Baja 1000 at all is an achievement -- especially when the overall ...

Pioneer using WiMax to send content to your car 5 months ago on Autoblog

With so many infotainment devices being created, we're beginning to wonder what people are actually doing in their cars -- or rather, if they ever get out of their cars. Pioneer has thrown another electronic log onto the in-car streaming entertainment fire with its prototype network A/V ...

Studios fighting for DeLorean biopic 5 months ago on Autoblog

It doesn't take a genius to figure out why Hollywood is working on a film about a car company going kaput. You might wonder, however, why three different factions are working on another movie about John Z. DeLorean. Brett Ratner is collaborating with producer Robert Evans on one pic, and Face/Off ...

Eric Bana's Love the Beast opens on March 12 8 months ago on Autoblog

Actor Eric Bana has a thing for auto racing. He also has a thing for his car, a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT that he's owned for 26 years, since he was 15 years old. He combined those passions after completing a two-year-long restoration of the car and entering the 2007 Targa Tasmania. Then he ...

Michigan hoping to replace automakers with filmmakers 9 months ago on Autoblog

While your next car might not be made in Michigan, the next movie you see might be. At least it could work out that way if Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm's plan succeeds. In Granholm's State of the State Address earlier this week, the governor announced that: "Wonderstruck Animation Studios ...

Q-Car: Autoblog drives James Bond's DBS from Quantum of Solace 9 months ago on Autoblog

Your English-manor-garden variety Aston Martin DBS has 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The 6.0-liter V12 that powers it will pull the coupe to 60 in 4.3 seconds. It costs $305,000, and it is a special car. But we drove one that was even more special. We drove one of the Aston Martins ...

VIDEO - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trailer released ahead of Super Bowl 9 months ago on Autoblog

It's hard to tell what's going on in this first trailer for the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen sequel that will air tonight during the Super Bowl, but there are more psychotic Decepticons amped up for a rematch, lots of Autobots getting their mechanical asses kicked, and anything ...

Climactic cliffhanger from The Italian Job solved with science 9 months ago on Autoblog

Spoiler Alert: If you want to be surprised by the ending of The Italian Job, stop reading now. We had a theory that humanity was officially bored when the carpet rake was invented. Once people didn't have to subdue woolly mammoths for dinner, they could focus on how to subdue the shag. That theory ...

Chrysler sponsors Terminator: Salvation, we see hope, irony 10 months ago on Autoblog

If a company is going to stay in business, there's no question that it must continue to market itself. Yet Chrysler's choice to pay to do so via this summer's Terminator: Salvation is a head-scratcher. Some folks have made an issue -- a valid one -- of public funds being used to secure the ...

VIDEO: Top Gear Australia picks top three movie chase scenes 11 months ago on Autoblog

Top Gear Australia put together a shortlist of what it considers the three best movie car chase scenes ever: Ronin, Gone in 60 Seconds, and The Matrix Reloaded. Out of those three entrants, we'd probably give Ronin the nod as well, even though DeNiro looks scared and/or sick through most of it, ...

VIDEO: Transporter 3 trailer #2 shows more Audi A8 co-star 1 year ago on Autoblog

Lionsgate has released the second trailer showcasing that buff delivery guy with the English accent, and if you thought Transporter 2 was an all-out sprint on the ludicrous side, wait until you get a load of the stunts in Transporter 3. It not only shows off more of Statham's body and his 1-liner ...

Lights, camera, throttle: Movie camera cars 1 year ago on Autoblog

We dig the cars in car flicks -- but what about the cars that make the flicks about cars? Looking less like Transformers and more like space junk peddled by the sand people, it's hard to imagine what it takes to turn a regular old car into a mobile studio worthy of Deja Vu (pictured). The ...

Coke Zero (Zero Seven) commercial features new Bond theme 1 year ago on Autoblog

Jack White, one half of the Whites in the White Stripes, wrote and produced the new theme song for Quantum of Solace, sung by White and Alicia Keyes. Turns out that White also -- unwittingly and unhappily -- wrote the new theme song for Coke Zero. Coca-Cola has used an instrumental version of ...

Transformers 2 to feature Devastator - 1 Decepticon made of 5 1 year ago on Autoblog

Devastator, a massive Decepticon made out of five, or six, or seven Constructicons, depending on which source you cite, will be in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. In the oddest case of reasoning we can imagine, he's said to have "massive upper body strength, like a gorilla." Devastator is a ...

VIDEO: Quantum of Solace trailer #2... oh yeah... 1 year ago on Autoblog

The trailer for the latest Bond film is out, and you could be disappointed: they pushed the release date of the film in the U.S. back a week. If you can get over that, you'll find that everything else is two minutes and twenty-eight seconds of "Holy %$#@! that was awesome!" It's almost like ...

VIDEO: Fast and Furious 4 trailer debuts 1 year ago on Autoblog

Click above for gallery of stills from Fast and Furious 4 Could it be? Could the fourth installment of The Fast and the Furious be... as good (we use that word loosely) as the first movie? Perhaps even good enough to make us forget the installments that followed, both of which tried to shoot poison ...

VIDEO: Transporter 3 trailer debuts, could be worse than Transporter 2 1 year ago on Autoblog

The first Transporter was a nifty little romp. The second one was an absurd little romp. This third installment, befitting a director whose last name is Megaton, has absolutely overdosed on the outlandish. But apparently you've all spoken by making the first two profitable, and this is what you ...

Quantum of Solace trailer shows little bit of Aston, lot of movie 1 year ago on Autoblog

We have to admit, when we heard the next Bond film was going to be called "Quantum of Solace," we kind of scrunched our faces a little bit. Still, Casino Royale was so good that we figured we'd give it the old innocent-until-proven-guilty treatment. Well, now we've seen the trailer, and it looks so ...

Death Race trailer debuts 1 year ago on Autoblog

Click above for high-res gallery of Death Race production stills We're going to start calling Jason Statham Ol' Faithful, because you always -- and we mean always -- know what you're going to get from a Jason Statham film.

Cars of Death Race revealed 1 year ago on Autoblog

No, these are not more spy shots of the 2010 Ford Mustang -- this is the 2006 Mustang GT that you'll soon see on the silver screen in the movie Death Race. A perusal of the film's automotive gems makes it look like Cars for post-apocalyptic and seriously angry adults. But if it were the 2010 ...

Rotten Tomatoes rates top 50 movie cars 1 year ago on Autoblog

Click the image above for more classic movie car pics It's no secret that we're passionate about cars, and we're pretty sure you feel the same way.

Back to the Future, Bullitt added to National Film Registry 1 year ago on Autoblog

Judging from how a generation of thirty-somethings have images of a flying, fusion-powered DeLorean imprinted in their DNA, we'd say that Back To The Future has left its mark. Likewise, Highland Green '68 Mustang fastbacks only look appropriate wearing American Racing Torq-Thrust Ds and flying ...

Get your Flux Capacitors right here! 1 year ago on Autoblog

Okay, let's get this straight. Back to the Future movies: cool. Making your DeLorean into a replica of the movie car: incredibly lame. Halfway between would be a reproduction flux capacitor. If you did buy this thing, you could certainly attain full lameness by installing in in your non-DeLorean. ...

If you miss drive-ins, we've got it all worked out for you. How you recreate the experience is up to you. The simplest method would be to just plop your laptop on the hood, but the screen is a bit small for that, and the sound would be worse than those little speakers that clipped on the windows. ...

AVPT: Aliens vs. PT Cruiser 3 years ago on Autoblog

If you saw the film AVP: Alien versus Predator, (SPOILER ahead - if you care) you know that in the end the Predators narrowly eek out a victory over the fierce, ugly and merciless Aliens.

Casino Royale trailer shows off Bond's Aston 3 years ago on Autoblog

A new trailer for the upcoming James Bond flick Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig gives us a few quick glimpses of the Aston Martin DBRS 9 that 007 will be driving in the film.

Dinner and a movie with Dodge 3 years ago on Autoblog

If your weekend plans involve taking a significant other to dinner and a movie, be forewarned you may find a third wheel tagging along.

"Talladega Nights" brings NASCAR to the big screen 3 years ago on Autoblog

While Days of Thunder and Driven taught us what happens when Hollywood tries to take automobile racing seriously, it appears that the upcoming Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby will be funny in the intentional way. Will Ferrell plays Ricky Bobby, a dominant NASCAR driver "who ...
