William Shatner starring in Shit My Dad Says pilot

It isn’t a new thing for a television network to see a commercial or an online sensation and think it would make a good sitcom. That’s why many people weren’t too excited when it was announced that the popular twitter account shitmydadsays was being turned into a sitcom. Many were quick to compare the idea to the failure that was Cavemen sitcom (based off the Geico commercials), but this one has a secret weapon up it’s sleeve.

Check out what he had to say after the jump! Continue reading “James Cameron talks AVATAR's DVD/Blu-ray releases and possible extended cut” →

FINAL ORBIT being directed by John Moore

FINAL ORBIT is a project that has been talked about for about two years now. So far, nothing has come from it (obviously), but it looks like now there is a real effort to get it off the ground. It seems that Producer Gale Anne Hurd (TERMINATOR, ALIENS) has a lot of faith in the project. She claims the film has “all of the classic cat-and-mouse, edge-of-your-seat elements to be a fantastic white-knuckle thriller.”

Jeremy Renner to star in Peter Berg's BATTLESHIP?

Jeremy Renner hit the scene really hard after his outstanding performance in last year’s THE HURT LOCKER and his subsequent Best Actor Oscar nomination. At this point, he probably has enough new job opportunities lining up for a good long while. Now it looks like the New York Times knows what his next project very well could be, if he chooses it, that is. Continue reading “Jeremy Renner to star in Peter Berg's BATTLESHIP?” →

AVATAR prequel novel to be written by James Cameron

As everyone knows, AVATAR is officially the highest grossing film of all time, both domestically and worldwide.

Pierce Brosnan claims MAMMIA MIA! 2 is off, is it true?

I know what some of you are thinking, “Why is he talking about MAMMA MIA!” Well, I actually really liked MAMMA MIA!, and even picked it up on Blu-ray. I wasn’t the only one that really dug it either, the film was the fifth highest grossing movie of 2008 and, until AVATAR, it was the highest grossing film in Britain. With all the success the film brought in, a sequel was announced. That was the last we heard about it, until now. Continue reading “Pierce Brosnan claims MAMMIA MIA! 2 is off, is it true?” →

ARTHUR remake wants Meryl Streep?

I grew up watching the unforgettable classic ARTHUR. The star Dudley Moore was so great in the role. Being that the original film is so important to me, many would figure that I would not want a remake to happen. That is not the case for ARTHUR though, and I was very excited when a remake with Russell Brand was announced. Russell Brand is perfect casting for the role, but it looks like the studio is aiming pretty high with the supporting roles. Continue reading “ARTHUR remake wants Meryl Streep?” →

SPLICE took Sundance by storm last month. Being that most of the deals at Sundance are relatively small, you don’t always hear about them. Now it seems that Joel Silver and Dark Castle want to change that, as he is reportedly interested in purchasing SPLICE and giving it some major funding.
