'Charlie's Angels' TV reboot: Cast it!

14 November 2009 7:47 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Last January, Drew Barrymore made her interest in making a third Charlie's Angels movie public. Slight change of plans. Now, she'd like to update the old TV show for ABC. A rep for Sony Pictures Television confirms that the network is close to ordering a pilot of the reboot, which Barrymore would develop with Leonard Goldberg, who produced the original series with Aaron Spelling, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' Josh Friedman, who's been tapped to write and exec produce. The challenges facing the team are many: Though we all seem to get excited about action shows centered on ass-kicking woman, »

‘Grown Ups’ Trailer: Is It Funny?

13 November 2009 11:51 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Columbia Pictures has just released the teaser trailer for their upcoming comedy Grown Ups, staring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade. While all five actors have previously worked together, this film marks the first time such a comedic ensemble has been put together in a starring role.

Here’s the synopsis:

Five friends and former teammates reunite years later to honor the passing of their childhood basketball coach. With their wives and kids in tow, they spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together at the lake house where they celebrated their championship years earlier. Picking up where they left off, they discover why growing older doesn’t mean growing up.

 

While I’m sure this film is not going to be anywhere near as funny as it should be (considering all the talent involved), there is still some hope as Sandler, James, Rock, Schneider »

trailer break: ‘Clash of the Titans’ teaser

13 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »

I guess this is cool and all, but why does it feel really familiar? Should I have been getting flashes of The Lord of the Rings from a story set in the ancient world? Maybe I’m just worn out from these kinds of movies. I’ll certainly see the film and I’ll probably even like it... though I’d be happier if this was more like director Louis Leterrier’s first movie, Unleashed, than like Transporter 2, which was just preposterous, or like his The Incredible Hulk, which lost its way in the end. But I’m tired of seeing the same old stuff over and over and over again. Maybe I’m just exhausted cuz it’s Friday. Anyway: Sam Worthington is Perseus here, and between Terminator Salvation and Avatar and this, I’m certain he’s the new somebody. I’m not sure which somebody yet, »

Interview: The Future of Voltron - Jeremy Corray

11 November 2009 12:19 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

With budgets on the rise and total investments for studio pictures creeping toward the half a billion dollar mark, Hollywood needs a sure thing. So we hear terms like, “built-in audience” or “high-concept” or “ancillary revenues.” The summer movie schedule becomes a long list of sequels, prequels and remakes in the studios’ quest to recoup their investments. The success of the Transformer franchise has them scrambling. Cartoons from the 80’s are now the hot property. The studios are scouring the countryside for the next Transformers. I’m hearing names that I haven’t heard since I was eight, He-man, Thundercats, Go-Bots, Silverhawks and the Mighty Orbots. But one of the most popular cartoons from the 80’s is still out there, Voltron.

I remember the years 1984-1986 fondly as “the Voltron years.” I lived, breathed, ate and slept Voltron. I believe I was 10 when I discovered the company that owns Voltron, »

See the Rockin' Clash of the Titans Trailer with HD Links

10 November 2009 8:44 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Earlier this evening, Yahoo! Movies debuted the first moving imagery from the Clash of the Titans remake starring Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation), Gemma Arterton, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes in the form of a loud and brisk teaser trailer.

My initial reaction to catching the first glimpse of Medusa (from behind), Perseus, gigantic CGI scorpions and the rest of Titans' iconic characters veers towards the negative. Not in the look of the film whose CGI creatures have been designed to retain some of the signature blocky designs of Harryhausen's stop motion puppets from the original. But in Warner's decision to recycle the marketing campaign from 300.

Though set in times many centuries ago, the Clash of the Titans trailer utilizes a guitar-driven modern heavy rock score. Music video-style quick editing is interrupted a couple times by framed slow motion shots. The presentation does not fit Clash of the Titans as »

Win Fawlty Towers Special Edition Remastered DVD Set – Winners!

10 November 2009 8:18 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Here are the winners of our Fawlty Towers contest:

Eric Tomlinson – Morgantown, WVDeeAnn Szymanski – Pottstown, PADebbie Heddington – London, Ont, CanadaMatthew Casale – Greece, NY

Thanks to everyone who entered, and don’t forget we’ve got a cool Star Trek giveaway going on right now!

Are you a fan of Fawlty Towers? Ever even heard of the show? Well it’s where John Cleese headed for a brief time after Monty Python back in 1975 and 1979. The show only ran for 12 episodes, but every single one of them is hysterical, and many are funny enough to bring tears to your eyes (that’s not PR, that’s my opinion). Fawlty Towers also starred Prunella Scales, Connie Both and Andrew Sachs.

Well it’s the 30th anniversary of the show and the episodes are being re-released in a special edition, remastered DVD set – and we have four (4) copies to give away!

Clash of the Titans Trailer Is Here!

10 November 2009 5:22 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

After seeing some low-resolution photos of what looked to be some awesome one-sheets for Louis Leterrier’s upcoming remake of Clash of the Titans, combined with its stellar cast, I couldn’t be more excited to see Sam Worthington lay down the pain as Perseus against Medusa and the Kraken.

Based on Greek Mythology, the Warner Bros. production of Clash of the Titans is a remake of the classic 1981 film, well-known for its practical stop-motion effects. We’ve been waiting patiently to get a real good look at the film and that time has finally come.

So without further ado, here is the first official teaser trailer for Clash of the Titans:

The cast already had me in the theater as did director Louis Leterrier who did a fantastic job with The Incredible Hulk last year. It looks cool to me (although »

Blu-ray Review: Monsters, Inc.

10 November 2009 1:39 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

This was originally supposed to be released earlier this year, but it's finally getting its day on Blu-ray this month, hitting shelves the same day as Up, which means dedicated Pixar fans are going to need to open their wallets a little wider, but the pay-off is certainly worth it. Monsters, Inc. was a film I had only seen once until earlier this year when I put together my list ranking the first ten Pixar films. Monsters, Inc. came in at #8, but after watching it two more times in an effort to review this Blu-ray, it's grown on me much more and there would definitely be some upward movement on my list.

To talk too long on the film would seem a bit meaningless since everyone has pretty much seen it at this point and you are more interested in learning what this new Blu-ray release offers that may or »

Avatar’s Budget is Almost $500 Million?! Can It Make a Profit?

8 November 2009 10:29 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

In the current economic climate, simply typing a sentence about a film that, including marketing costs, now tallies up to a reported half-a-billion dollars is surreal enough to put Dr. Evil on stun. That's the unprecedented figure being batted around in a new Nyt report about the financial realities that lie ahead for James Cameron's Avatar and 20th Century Fox. So, what exactly are the stakes and how much does the 3D sci-fi actioner and proclaimed cinematic game changer need to gross come December? Well, what surprised me most about the report is the flow of calm responses from inside sources that are sprinkled throughout. While the graveyard of pricey tentpole flops that includes Waterworld, Heaven's Gate, Cuttthroat Island, and even this summer's Terminator Salvation would seem to loom large, Avatar's costs are said to be well divided amongst many partners i.e. there's not a single head that, »

Johnny Depp Replacing Sam Worthington In ‘The Tourist?’

5 November 2009 7:38 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

When does the movie business ever go as planned? Rarely, it seems, as evidenced by the change-ups with the upcoming thriller The Tourist, the remake of the 2005 French film, Anthony Zimmer.

We recently reported that Angelina Jolie had replaced Charlize Theron in the movie, with Jolie joining the already-cast Sam Worthington (who originally replaced Tom Cruise). Then a week later came news that after previously attached director Bharat Nalluri had stepped away from the project, The Lives of Other director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck was being eyed to helm the film instead.

All seemed to be in place and The Tourist was set for an early 2010 shooting start. However, although the latter is still true, there appears to Still be major change-ups happening, as not only is yet another new director being looked at to now replace Donnersmarck, but Worthington may be getting replaced by Johnny Depp!

Angelina Jolie May Now Be Traveling With Johnny Depp And A 'Harry Potter' Director In 'The Tourist'

5 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

"The Tourist" has had quite a ride these past few months. Further back than that even. First it was a possible "Valkyrie" follow-up for Tom Cruise. Then Charlize Theron started negotiating to star alongside Cruise. Following a year of silence on the project, the news broke last month that Angelina Jolie was now in talks to replace Theron. And somewhere in there, "Terminator Salvation" star Sam Worthington stepped in to replace Cruise.

That's not even mentioning the director changes. Bharat Nalluri was originally set to direct, way back when Cruise was still on the project. He fell off somewhere in the past year, and "The Lives of Others" director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck only recently stepped in to possibly replace him. It turns out that that's not happening either. Now it seems that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" director Alfonso Cuaron may be moving in to helm, and »

Hasbro and Legacy FX Representatives Talk G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra DVD & Blu-ray

5 November 2009 5:57 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Without a doubt the biggest surprise hit of this past summer was G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra racking in an astonishing $300 million worldwide. The brand, which has been around since the '60s began as doll for boys, to compete in the market with Barbie and was the first "Action Figure," a phrase that it's manufacturer Hasbro coined. Almost 45 years later it is the worlds second most popular action figure, right behind Hasbro's uber-successful "Star Wars" franchise. So with a history like that it only make sense that the film would be a huge hit around the world. Last month representatives of Hasbro gathered at an event in Santa Monica sponsored by Paramount to celebrate the release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra on DVD and Blu-ray, which hit stores earlier this week. We had an opportunity to attend and were joined by reps from EA Games, who »

Johnny Depp Joining Angelina Jolie In The Tourist?

5 November 2009 3:15 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »

Johnny Depp is in talks to star alongside Angelina Jolie in The Tourist, which would mark the first time these two mega stars have worked together.

The story, which was originally written by Julian Fellowes and has had rewrites by Christopher McQuarrie and Jeffrey Nachmanoff, would see Depp play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.

The role Depp is looking to fill was originally cast to Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation), but he dropped out recently over creative differences. Director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck also dropped out of the project, and now Alfonso Cuarón (Children Of Men) is in early talks to take over the director's chair. The film has gone through quite a few changes, as at one time Bharat Nalluri was attached to direct with Tom Cruise in the lead role. »

AlphaBits: New Owner For Terminator Could Arrive Early Next Year

4 November 2009 5:33 PM, PST | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »

The very messy bankruptcy of Halcyon Co. means that the group holding the rights to the Terminator movie franchise will lose that key asset by the beginning of next year. Halcyon says it will sell the rights to Terminator to help pay its debts, and has hired Fti Capital Advisors to get it done. Fti, in turn, says it will auction off the rights, but will still allow Halcyon to select its old "stalking horse" bidder, that is someone who can place the first bid and conduct due diligence at the same time. Although the two studios behind "Terminator Salvation" -- Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. -- are thinking about bidding on the franchise, the Los Angeles Times cautions that a private equity group outside of Hollywood could end up being the winning bidder. Halcyon originally acquired ... »

Terminator | For Sale

4 November 2009 10:00 AM, PST | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »

The production company Halcyon, that made Terminator Salvation and owns the Terminator rights, has put the property up for sale. The sale will not include any releases of the franchise to date, but for any future films made. Given the potential of what could be done with it, every major studio is showing great interest as wells as the smaller ones like Summit Entertainment (Twilight, New Moon), Platinum Equity and Media Rights Capital (The Box). Since Warner Brothers held Us distribution rights to Terminator Salvation, and Sony Pictures handled the rest of the globe, they have positioned themselves as the two leading contenders for the franchise. With Salvation not living up to the box office success of the fist three films, and the cancellation (of the very well made) TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles, there's no doubt a value loss in this future killing machines' stock. We'll keep an eye on this, »
