Robin McLeavy cast as Mary Todd in ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

It’s no secret that THE LOVED ONES is a huge hit over at GATW, with Rusty giving the film a perfect score in his review. One of the best parts of the film is the work by Robin McLeavy as Lola, “The Princess.” She crafted one of the creepiest, scariest horror performances I’ve seen in years, catapulting the film from great to unforgettable.

Now she looks to be getting her shot at making a splash in the U.S., as she has just been cast in the role of Mary Todd in ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER. Continue reading “Robin McLeavy cast as Mary Todd in ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER” →

Second CLASH OF THE TITANS film to be moved up one week

A sequel to last year’s CLASH OF THE TITANS is on its way, but luckily we do have reasons to be excited. The cast and crew seem to be really excited about the film, as Liam Neeson as decided to come back for more and Sam Worthington felt he needed to assure us it’ll be better than the original.

The second film now has been pushed up one week to March 23, 2012, and is set to be released the same day as THE HUNGER GAMES. Continue reading “Second CLASH OF THE TITANS film to be moved up one week” →

Selena Gomez to take on a dark film in 13 REASONS WHY

Being a Disney star can be a pretty tough road to break away from, and in the past many of their biggest stars have found themselves stuck in a typecast series of roles. It seems that Selena Gomez might be joining the ranks of Shia LaBeouf by breaking away from that scene with a role that is much darker than she is accustomed to in 13 REASONS WHY.

The story is an adaptation of a novel by Jay Asher, and follows a high schooler who decides to take her own life, but leaves cassette tapes that explain to thirteen different people how they factored into her death. It’s nice to see that Selena is willing to be a little more daring with her choices in roles, it very well could give some attention from the more mainstream public.

Blake Lively to take on Carrie Bradshaw in SEX AND THE CITY prequel?

I think it’s a pretty fair assessment to say that Blake Lively has officially made it in both the film and TV realms. After taking up roles in such films as THE TOWN and the upcoming GREEN LANTERN, as well as her most famous role as Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl, we can only imagine that she will be a staple of future entertainment.

To even further substantiate this, there are rumblings that she very well could take up the mantle of Carrie Bradshaw of the ridiculously popular SEX AND THE CITY franchise in a prequel.

The prequel would follow Carrie’s teenage years as depicted in Candace Bushnell’s The Carrie Diaries, which leads us right up to Blake Lively who is seemingly obvious, yet perfect casting. Now that I’ve imagined Lively in the role, it proves quite difficult to imagine anyone else in the role. Continue reading “Blake Lively to take on Carrie Bradshaw in SEX AND THE CITY prequel?” →

PET SEMETARY to get the remake treatment

WhenI was a kiddo, garage sales used to be the best place to get movies from. Aside from the fact that you could generally find gems for somewhere around fifty cents, they also didn’t have any qualms selling R-rated movies to children. This is where my love for PET SEMETARY began.

Now that the world has evolved into this remake-loving culture, it only makes sense that they would want to hit on Stephen King’s work. This project and the IT remake are definite proof there is interest. Continue reading “PET SEMETARY to get the remake treatment” →

JOHN CARTER OF MARS update from Andrew Stanton

There’s a little bug going around that’s pulling some of Pixar’s biggest directors out of the animation world and placing them firmly in live-action land. First, we have THE INCREDIBLES director Brad Bird directing MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL, and now we have FINDING NEMO and WALL-E director Andrew Stanton bringing JOHN CARTER OF MARS to the big screen.

Although principal photography is complete on JOHN CARTER, Stanton is now in what he is calling digital principal photography, claiming this stage will take the rest of the year. Continue reading “JOHN CARTER OF MARS update from Andrew Stanton” →

Will Ferrell taking a guest spot on "The Office," to aid Steve Carell's exit

Will Ferrell cameos are usually some of the best out there, as he seems to really run with it every time. Do you remember what you thought when he came down the stairs in WEDDING CRASHERS? I do. I, along with the rest of the theater, began cheering and laughing. Subsequently, that cameo ended up being one of the highlights of the film.

It looks like he has another high profile guest spot coming up soon, this time in the TV world. He will be joining a four episode arc at the end of the season as a way to lead up to Carell’s departure from the show. Continue reading “Will Ferrell taking a guest spot on "The Office," to aid Steve Carell's exit” →

Emile Hirsch to live THE MOTEL LIFE

Emile Hirsch is an actor I would watch in just about any role, because he is just that good. Even when he took up the mantle of Speed Racer in what ended up being a horrendous, yet incredibly fun adaptation, he brought a lot of enjoyment and fun to the character.

Now, after what seems like a while out of the spotlight, he is going to be taking up a role in THE MOTEL LIFE, based off a novel by Willy Vlautin. The story follows two brothers who face turmoil after one drunkenly hits a teenager on a bike with his car. They flee their motel-ridden lives in Reno to escape any sort of blame for the kid’s death. Continue reading “Emile Hirsch to live THE MOTEL LIFE” →

AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY gets its release plan

AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY is a fascinating documentary about a man misunderstood. Sure, he had his ups and downs, but by the end of his life many people had a certain idea about him that wasn’t exactly true. In the film, they clear the air a bit, and truly give him the kind of praise and attention that he deserves.

The film ran the film festival circuit, and now everyone else will be able to see it.On April 8, the film will open in New York City, and over the next month will expand into 25 more theaters. At the same time, they will be releasing the film through Video On Demand services through Gravitas Ventures so that it can reach the widest possible audience. This is a really great choice for the film, because more people will now have the opportunity to see it. Continue reading “AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY gets its release plan” →

24 movie still on; filming starting in the next year

The 24 movie has been on a pretty tumultuous path since it was first announced, leaving all of us wondering if the film will actually even happen. The recent news that screenwriter Billy Ray’s script had been rejected by the studio didn’t help the case. It seems that hasn’t stopped the movie yet, and they are still hard at work trying to bring Jack Bauer to the big screen.

This update comes directly from Jack himself, Kiefer Sutherland, and you can check it out after the break. Continue reading “24 movie still on; filming starting in the next year” →
