New Movie News | New Movies Being Made

Here’s some movie news you may have missed :

• Producer Neal Moretz talks about his new Highlander movie. He says it will be “closer to a reboot than anything else”. He says that while there are certain things that conflict with each other in the various film and TV versions of Highlander, they will still be “trying to stay true to the core” of what they believe Highlander is.

This is the first edition of a feature we are calling Zzub, The Backward Buzz. You may have noticed that the posting schedule here at New Movie Buzz is a little, shall we say…erratic. With all the movie news coming out all the time, it is difficult to decide what is post-worthy for New Movie Buzz, and difficult to find time to write about it. We have started to utilize tools like Twitter and Facebook to keep movie fans informed, (you can follow New Movie Buzz using the links in the top right corner of this page), but, in addition, we have decided to implement this backward-looking summary of recent movie news.
