"How I Met Your Mother" gets two more seasons

How I Met Your Mother is one of the only sitcoms that I really follow closely. Even though the show is currently in its sixth season, it still has my attention, even if it has lost some of the luster it once had in the past several seasons. Some shows stay close to the heart though, and with CBS’ glory child Two and A Half Men having a foggy future, it makes sense they would put faith into a solid show.

That’s why CBS has picked up HIMYM for another two seasons. Continue reading “"How I Met Your Mother" gets two more seasons” →

DIRTY GRANDPA coming to a theater near you

Sometimes a film comes along that seems so absurd that it might just work. Even the title can be something so succinct and to the point, yet perfect for that exact reason. This is one of those stories.

Universal has decided to pick up a film called DIRTY GRANDPA, which is seemingly about…a dirty grandfather. The film is set to be “an R-rated comedy centered on a recently widowed, sexually aggressive grandfather on a road trip with his straight-laced grandson.” The grandfather also realizes that his grandson’s fiancée isn’t right for him, and tries to resolve the issue.

Brie Larson joins 21 JUMP STREET

21 JUMP STREET is the next in a line of remakes and adaptations, following MIAMI VICE, STARSKY AND HUTCH, and A-TEAM by being the next classic TV series to get the big screen treatment. With the cast being led by Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, the film is lining up to a fun comedic action movie and is being likened to the BAD BOYS franchise.

Now the film has seemingly found its female lead. Brie Larson, who recently showed up in SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD as the infamous Envy Adams, lead singer of The Clash At Demonhead, has been chosen to take up the lead. She will be filling the shoes of the character Molly. The film is being directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who recently directed CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS. Continue reading “Brie Larson joins 21 JUMP STREET” →

AVATAR 2 to take place under the sea?

AVATAR was a huge commercial smash, that goes without saying. But it was also James Cameron’s brainchild, a project that he had conceived of long before it ever reached theaters. With both of these things considered, it isn’t very surprising that Cameron would want to make a sequel to the first film. We’ve long known at least one was on its way, but little was known about the film itself.

Michelle Rodriguez has given us an idea, however, and let us in on what we could expect from the sequel. Rodriguez says that the film will take place under the sea. We have heard this in the past, but this could be further proof that the film actually will be underwater. She also hopes to be involved in some way, since her character died in the first film, even if it only consists of a set visit. An underwater AVATAR film could be pretty intense, just imagine the creatures they could create for it. Continue reading “AVATAR 2 to take place under the sea?” →

Elizabeth Hurley cast as "Wonder Woman" villain

Elizabeth Hurley. Oh, how I remember Elizabeth Hurley. She was a major favorite between myself and all of my friends back in her heyday, then she seemingly disappeared. Many of us have wondered where she has been, and why she hasn’t been in the spotlight in a while. That seems to be changing, however.

Hurley has revealed, via her Twitter account, that she will be taking up the villain role in the upcoming Wonder Woman TV series for NBC.

The role will be a guest-starring stint, and is said to be the role of Veronica Cale, a woman who runs a pharmaceutical company that produces a drug that gives its user strength. She plans on using that drug against Wonder Woman, who she is jealous of. The role is Hurley’s, pending some visa issues. Continue reading “Elizabeth Hurley cast as "Wonder Woman" villain” →

Are these the titles to the upcoming HOBBIT films?

THE HOBBIT is finally happening, and now we seem to be getting news bits about the film constantly. A couple of weeks ago we got a photo of most of the cast at a gathering, and before that we got word that Saoirse Ronan (who was in Peter Jackson’s last film THE LOVELY BONES) had joined the cast. It looks like the ball is actually rolling this time.

For this week’s tidbit of HOBBIT news, sources say that New Line has taken out a couple titles that many believe could end up being the actual titles for the upcoming films. Hit the break to check them out! Continue reading “Are these the titles to the upcoming HOBBIT films?” →

PERCY JACKSON sequel on its way?

PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF came out last year and was mildly successful, but it certainly didn’t make the kind of splash that a lot of people were expecting. Then came the lack of any news about a sequel, even though there are currently five books in the Young Adult series the first film was based on, and a seeming franchise to be made.

Now that news is finally coming out, and it looks like a sequel is happening after all.

Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski have been hired to pen a script for the sequel and are hard at work at it currently. Supposedly the main cast, including Logan Lerman as Percy, are all expected to return for the sequel. Now they just need to find a director, as Chris Columbus will not be returning, then the ball will really be rolling. Continue reading “PERCY JACKSON sequel on its way?” →

DUMB AND DUMBER sequel coming down the pipeline?

DUMB AND DUMBER sometimes slips through the cracks of my mind, to a place where it is not often thought of. This isn’t because it’s a bad movie, in fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s because it came out a relatively long time ago at this point, and the prequel film DUMB AND DUMBERER didn’t help the series much either.

But we are now hearing reports that the Farrelly brothers might be interested in doing a true sequel to the film, if they can get Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back as Harry and Lloyd.

You can check out what Bob Farrelly had to say, after the break! Continue reading “DUMB AND DUMBER sequel coming down the pipeline?” →

TOTAL RECALL remake has a release date

The upcoming TOTAL RECALL is one that we have a lot to be excited about. The new film is going in a very different direction, and is being liken to being closer to that of the Philip K. Dick source story, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, rather than the 1990 Schwarzenegger film.

We now know exactly when to expect the film to hit theaters, as a release date has been announced. Continue reading “TOTAL RECALL remake has a release date” →

James Franco joins OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

James Franco seems to have blown up in the past year or so, even when he’s spending a lot of time doing things you wouldn’t expect him to, like General Hospital. Regardless, he is a hard-working guy and is constantly attached to so many projects at a single time. It doesn’t seem like they are stopping any time soon.

Franco has reportedly joined the cast of OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL where he would be taking the lead role. Continue reading “James Franco joins OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL” →
