Cameron Diaz was helped through the grieving process by her young co-stars. The actress - who lost her father Emilio in April 2008 after he died of pneumonia while she was shooting the film 'My Sister's Keeper' - said it was the kind words of Abigail Breslin, 13, and Sofia Vassilieva, 17, who provided the most comfort. She said: ''Being able to go back to a great group of people, who were there and waiting for me, was a blessing. Those girls helped me. Nick Cassavetes, the director, was amazing, too.

· Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried make out in the rain in this new still from Dear John -- mandatory, since it's based on a novel by "wet people making out" author Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook). Audrina, get excited!
· What does Kara DioGuardi think of the Adam Lambert cancellation kerfuffle? "We're living in a pretty bad economic time, so they have to do what they have to do to keep their advertisers," DioGuardi told E! "Networks are doing what they think their viewers want and don't want, so it's just budgetary."

Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender Trailer Delayed
4 December 2009 9:45 AM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
A quick update on M. Night Shyamalan’s next film, The Last Airbender. A full-length theater trailer was expected to play sometime this holiday season in preparation for its July 2010 bow, but producer Frank Marshall says it will be delayed.
In a Tweet on Thursday, Marshall said “Not enough Ilm [Industrial Light & Magic, the effects company] shots finished, so Last Airbender trailer will not debut until Feb…”
This means the trailer will probably be attached to prints of Fox’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief on February 12. You can watch the teaser trailer here, in case you missed it.
For fans of the animated television series eagerly awaiting the live-action version, Variety did a short piece on Noah Ringer, the 12-year-old actor who portrays Aang. Shyamalan reportedly searched for a year to find the right person before choosing Ringer from a martial arts demonstration video he sent from Dallas. The pre-teen has a black belt in tae kwon do, »

‘Zombieland 2′ To Go 3D
3 December 2009 10:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
I firmly believe Zombieland was one of the best films of 2009. It simply came out of nowhere, defied expectations, and even went so far as to inspire some of us. Given the films success it’s no surprise that a sequel would be on the horizon. Now, Variety is able to confirm that a sequel is in development and chances are it will be in 3D:
“Everyone had fun watching (the first) ‘Zombieland’; making it a more visceral experience can only make it better,” said the film’s producer Gavin Polone. “I don’t think you want to see ‘Ordinary People’ in 3-D. But ‘Zombieland’ is clearly one movie that will benefit from (the technique).”
Now, I’ve never been sold on the whole 3D thing. Personally, I think it’s a gimmick and haven’t gone out of my way to see any recent 3D films. Simply put, I »

Zombieland 2 and Jackass Sequel Set for 3D
2 December 2009 7:13 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Confirming Internet reports, Sony Pictures has closed deals with director Ruben Fleischer, producer Gavin Polone, and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for a sequel to Zombieland.
During the Thanksgiving holiday lull, Moviehole spoke with Fleischer about his plans for the inevitable Zombieland 2, who told the site he had ideas for 3-D but they were waiting on the go ahead from Sony. They’ve been given the green light and the brainstorming begins.
When the creative team talked sequels following the smash opening, the writers said they had originally conceived the story as a TV pilot, so the series lends itself to another zombie-killing adventure. No details on the plot are known yet, but hopefully they won’t transform Woody Harrelson into a self-aware zombie or any sort of disappointing variation.
The original cast, Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin, are ready to return. Sadly Bill Murray will »

'Zombieland 2' and 'Jackass 3' coming in 3D
2 December 2009 10:47 AM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
3D is taking over Hollywood; that's not a secret anymore. With recent 3D films proving to be box office successes, more and more upcoming films will hit the big screen to make use of the new technique.
Sony is currently developing a 3D sequel to "Zombieland," Ruben Fleischer's excellent horror comedy that brought in $75 million domestically. Fleischer is returning to direct, according to Variety.
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are already writing the script, and Sony is also trying to bring back Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg. I hope they bring back Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin as well. »

Zombieland Sequel Will Offer Up Zombie Brains in 3D
1 December 2009 9:36 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
It wasn’t that long ago when the writers of “Zombieland” were rolling around ideas for a sequel, and now it looks like it’s actually happening, and pretty fast, too. In an article about upcoming movies that are trying to take advantage of the popular 3D format, Variety reports that a “Zombieland” sequel will be arriving in decaying malls faster than you think — in 3D. Apparently Sony has already made a deal with “Zombieland” director Ruben Fleischer to return for a sequel, and now negotiations are under way to get stars Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg to reprise their roles of badass zombie killer with a heart of gold and awkward skinny kid with made-up zombie survival rules, respectively. No word on the possible return of Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone. But then again, I suppose the real meat of the story is Tallahassee and Columbus, right? It might »

'Zombieland' Sequel Getting Extra Dimension
1 December 2009 9:35 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
It sounds official: Zombieland is getting a sequel, and it’s going to be in 3-D.
Thanks to the additional boost in revenues that come from showing in this format, Hollywood studios are now looking to turn low and medium-budget comedies into 3-D films. So far, Sony has approached the original Zombieland creative team about making a sequel using that technique; meanwhile, Paramount is looking to do the same to a third Jackass film, Variety reports.
"Everyone had fun watching (the first) 'Zombieland'; making it a more visceral experience can only make it better," said the film's producer Gavin Polone. "I don't think you want to see 'Ordinary People' in 3-D. But 'Zombieland' is clearly one movie that will benefit from (3-D)."
The first film took place in a post-apocalyptic world in which the undead far outnumber the living. A group of survivors played by Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, »
Zombieland sequel Will Be 3D
1 December 2009 9:07 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Zombieland fans, prepare to get happy - you'll get your sequel, and it'll be in 3D to boot.Yes, the news first bubbled up during the quiet Thanksgiving period last week when Moviehole talked to director Ruben Fleischer about plans to follow up the zombie comedy hit.And now comes word that Sony is pushing ahead with the idea, setting up deals with Fleischer, producer Gavin Polone to return, and hiring the film's writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to crank out the sequel's screenplay.But it wouldn't be Zombieland without Woody Harrelson's cocky Tallahassee and Jessie Eisenberg's Columbus, so the studio is busy negotiating with the actors to return alongside, we fervently hope, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin."Everyone had fun watching the first Zombieland; making it a more visceral experience can only make it better," says Polone. "I don't think you want to see Ordinary People in 3-D. »
[DVD Review] My Sister's Keeper
30 November 2009 4:41 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Nick Cassavetes likes plucking heartstrings and he’s not afraid to dig into your chest to do so. Unfortunately, the digging is sort of a laborious process and it can take Cassavetes an hour or two to even scratch the surface. Maybe you were swept away by his romantic tale of Alzheimers-afflicted love in The Notebook? It did have a surprisingly strong cast (Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling and James Garner) and whether you like the movie or not, chances are your body either produces a healthy share of estrogen and you loved the film or your body doesn’t but someone from the first category insisted you watch it. Yet, he also directed Alpha Dog, so his tendencies towards emotionally manipulative clearly aren’t his only option. My Sister’s Keeper, however, plays directly into his manipulative side; if you’re a crier then you’ll get that cathartic sobbing »

Blu-ray Review: My Sister's Keeper
29 November 2009 3:16 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Recently arriving on Blu-ray just in time to tug at your heart strings for the holidays is My Sister's Keeper. Directed by Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook, John Q) and with solid performances by Abigail Breslin and Sofia Vassilieva, the movie is an intriguing, but sad tale of one family's battle to stay together amidst a long fight with a rare form of cancer. Keeper is based on the successful novel by Jodi Picoult and follows the Fitzgerald family, which is being torn apart by the eldest daughter's lifelong struggle with a deadly form of leukemia. The youngest daughter Anna (Breslin) is conceived deliberately to be a genetic match and bone marrow donor for her sick sister. Years later, after many intrusive and painful donor operations, Anna decides to sue her parents (Cameron Diaz and Jason Patric) for medical emancipation to prevent herself from being her sister's kidney donor.

Fleischer adds that the primary cast - Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin - would return but it would still be a while off as they haven't "cracked" the story yet.... »
Ruben Fleischer Says Zombieland 2 Will Be in 3-D
26 November 2009 4:02 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer spoke to Moviehole and announced that Sony was interested in making a sequel and that all the principal actors (Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin) are all ready to return.
Fleischer says he would like to shoot Zombieland 2 in 3-D since "the genre really lends itself to [3-D]." Where the sequel will take place or what it will be about is unknown, as Fleischer and company are still trying to "crack" the story.
Before Zombieland 2, however, Fleischer says he would like to make a romantic comedy. Likely one without zombies, considering he already made America's answer to Shaun of the Dead.

25 November 2009 5:20 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Sony hasn’t yet announced the development of a Zombieland 2, but with a worldwide budget of over $84 million, it is likely only a matter of time before a sequel was brought up.

Zombieland Sequel Updates…Hell Yeah!
25 November 2009 5:33 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
How brilliant was Zombieland earlier this year? It sort of came out of nowhere and turned out to be one of the funniest movies of the year by far. Lots of fat jokes, Twinkies and Bill-f*cking-Murray made it pure joy from beginning to end. Now director Ruben Fleischer has given us some updates on the sequel, first rumoured earlier this year. Speaking with Moviehole.net Fleischer confirmed…
“Sony are very interested in a Zombieland sequel”
Reportsthat the original cast are all willing to return is brilliant news. Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin are all up for another spot of Zombie hunting.
The best news about all this is that Fleischer has hinted that the blood-splattering sequel will be in glorious 3D! And I quote:
But the most interesting development? Fleischer says the next film will likely be 3-D – yep, mother-hopping three-dimensional Woody vs. Zombie action! »

Zombieland Sequel Will Be In Your Face.

Everyone involved in Zombieland freaked out a bit when it was discovered that Zombieland was a huge hit - with pirates.The movie was downloaded so many times online, that a sequel was being put on the zombie chopping block because of the lost revenue. Looks like they don't have to panic anymore. Moviehole.net spoke with Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer about a sequel and the direction it would go in:...director Ruben Fleischer yesterday, who confirmed Sony are very interested in a “Zombieland” sequel. And he’s ready to go. The original cast – Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone & Abigail Breslin – are also ready to slap another coffin dodger with the, er, ‘rule’ book.

I personally fell in love with Zombieland, and while I know the mass majority of readers don't foam at the mouth over it as much as I do, I think it's safe to say a sequel is in demand.

In fact, the original cast Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone & Abigail Breslin are also confirmed to return. But the big news is that Fleischer says the next film will likely be 3-D!

Blu-Ray Review: ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ Suffers From Uplift Overkill
24 November 2009 7:50 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Sometimes all it takes is a glance at a film’s poster to know where it’s stepped wrong. The poster for “My Sister’s Keeper” shows photogenic stars Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin smiling at each other, while their saintly co-star (Sofia Vassilieva) drifts below them, blowing bubbles. Anyone who has read Jodi Picoult’s book (on which this film is based) will know that there’s no reason why these two characters should be smiling at each other, except to fool audiences into thinking this is some kind of heartwarming feel-good drama. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what filmmaker Nick Cassavetes intends to transform his source material into, and the resulting film fails to grapple with the issues Picoult’s book boldly addresses.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
The premise holds great promise: eleven-year-old Anna (Breslin) was genetically engineered and conceived by her parents to be a donor to her sister »

Could Zombieland 2 Feast on 3D Human Flesh?
24 November 2009 7:25 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Zombieland was one of this year’s breakout hits and so Sony is naturally hungry for a sequel. In a recent interview, director Ruben Fleischer says that he’s ready to pick up the zombie-killing rule book again and go to town slaughtering the undead. Oh, but he does have one more rule he’d like to add: “A sequel to a massively successful comedy horror film starring Woody Harrelson must be in 3D.”
Hit the jump for why Fleischer wants to take his flesh-eaters to the next dimension as well as other details on the highly-anticipated sequel.
[Spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen Zombieland] Moviehole reports that Fleischer is down for a sequel along with original cast members Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. Fleischer says that the genre really lends itself to 3D and with the box office success of My Bloody Valentine 3D and The Final Destination, audiences seem to agree. »
