So the Parkour elephant in the room is that remaking Luc Besson.s cool French action flick District B13 does not need to be done.But since it.s happening in the form of director Camille Delamarre.s Brick Mansions, all we can hope for is some flashy balls-out action. And stars Paul Walker and David Belle will need to protect their necks from a newly cast co-star. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Wu Tang Clan member RZA will be wearing his acting hat for the EuropaCorp and Relativity Media-produced film. Last year he released his directorial debut The Man With the Iron Fists, which he also wrote, starred in and wrote the music for with Howard Drossin. He also got quite a few laughs for his cameo as Blind Master in G.I. Joe: Retaliation earlier this year. Next up, he.ll be co-starring in Fox.s action...

The Oscars are a little over two months away, and with so many fantastic films released throughout this year, the anticipation surrounding the announcement of the nominations next month is running on high.
So far, we’ve had the shortlists for the Best Animated Feature, the Best Visual Effects, and the Best Documentary categories.
Now the Academy has announced the list of 104 films that are eligible in the Best Original Score category, and it’s going to be very interesting to see what makes the final cut come nominations time next month.
I think Hans Zimmer’s score for The Dark Knight Rises is, hopefully, a lock, because it is amazing. I also loved James Horner’s score for The Amazing Spider-Man, but can’t decide whether or not I think it will earn a nomination.
Alexandre Desplat has three films in the running this year, with Argo, Rise of the Guardians,...

As far as I'm concerned, the two most memorable scores of the year belong to Cloud Atlas and Beasts of the Southern Wild. That said, I made an egregious and unforgivable mistake when filling out my Critics' Choice nominations and forgot to include not one of them, but Both of them! Shame. I feel it. Now I have to hope my fellow Bfca members came through where I failed. However, we will discuss Critics' Choice nominations more on the upcoming episodes of the RopeofSilicon podcast, for now we're talking Oscar as the Academy has released a complete list of all 104 original scores competing for Best Original Score at the 2013 Oscars. I have not yet posted my predictions for Best Original Score and while I am making a fuss above concerning Cloud Atlas and Beasts of the Southern Wild, I think both of those stand a very strong chance at a nomination this year.

This weekend, RZA, a talented member of the Wu-Tang Clan, a rap collective highly indebted to all things martial arts, unleashes his kung fu epic, "The Man With the Iron Fists," Co-written by “Hostel” auteur Eli “The Bear Jew” Roth and “presented by” Quentin Tarantino, it's a zany, multicolored fight fest, pitting squadrons of lethal killers against each other, all in pursuit of a weighty chest of imperial gold. It's pretty impressive that RZA (who had previously scored “Kill Bill, Vol. 1” and “Ghost Dog,” which mine similar territory), on his initial outing, assembled a cast almost as stuffed as that chest of gold -- Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, Jamie Chung, Rick Yune, Pam Grier and assorted martial artists all make appearances. The question remains, though: will you actually want to sit down and watch this energetic 96-minute homage, or would you rather sit in your room and listen to Wu-Tang Clan...
