Shawn Levy is shooting for the stars. Levy, the helmer behind the Night at the Museum movies as well as Real Steel , has signed on to direct and produce Starman , Columbia Pictures’ remake of the 1980s sci-fi romance that starred Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen. Michael Douglas , who produced the original, will produce with Levy. Arash Amel, best known for writing the Nicole Kidman drama Grace of Monaco, is writing the script for the project. Starman told of an alien who crash lands on Earth and assumes the form of a woman’s dead husband. He forces the woman to take him to a rendezvous site but on the road trip, a romance blossoms, all the while the government is in hot pursuit to capture him, dead or alive. Bruce A Evans and Raynold Gideon, who adapted 1980s classic Stand By Me, wrote the original’s script. Horror king John Carpenter took a detour from his usual genre and directed the movie, which earned acclaim and a best actor nomination for Bridges. The movie could

Night at The Museum: Secret of the Tomb sends off Robin Williams in style. Review by Matt Cummings It's not often that you see a trilogy end as well as it began - especially when the second was so awful - but in the case of Shawn Levy's Night at The Museum: Secret of the Tomb , it's not hard to like much of this mad-cap comedy. Larry (Ben Stiller) has moved up the museum ladder, ready to show off his cast of 'animatronics' to the world. But as we know, these characters are the museum's displays come to life, courtesy of a magical gilded Tablet of Akmenrah, the ancient Egyptian relic responsible for the museum’s transformation. Unfortunately during a fancy gala, the exhibits begin to malfunction, ending the career of Dr. McPhee (Ricky Gervais) and sending Larry to London to seach for a cure to the disintegrating relic. Along the way, he'll run into his British counterpart Tilly (Rebel Wilson), meet an Egyptian Pharaoh (Sir Ben Kingsley), and b

This is Where I Leave You wants desperately to be the next Big Chill. Here's why it's not even close. For Director Shawn Levy, life must feel pretty good. A master of producing some of the dullest comedy films in recent memory, Levy churns these out like a cow produces milk, collecting his paycheck and moving on the next low-hanging fruit. His newest submission This is Where I Leave You is more of the same, a dull, formulaic mess that never utilizes its considerable talents above a resting heartbeat. When news reaches the Attman children that their father has passed away, the four adult siblings return to their childhood home to deal with the repercussions. Daughter Wendy (Tina Fey) is in an unsatifying marriage, while brother Phillip (Adam Driver) lives a fast life full of excuses but little success. Meanwhile, elder-brother Judd (Jason Bateman) learns that his wife is having an affair with his boss, while Brother Paul (Stahl) seems to be the only responsible one

The Internship Review By: MattInRC Does The Internship inspire you to work for free, or should our actors return their hefty paychecks for a job poorly done? When we first perused the non-animated comedy releases for 2013, only a few seemed to attract our attention. The Internship was not necessarily one of them, as it was billed as the next Wedding Crashers , starring the same dude actors behaving inappropriately at the hands of unsuspecting people. And while it doesn't forge new ground ala Ted , or amaze us like the original Hangover , it does its job as simple Summer movie entertainment, provided you don't take any of it seriously and keep your day job. Old-school salesmen Billy ( Vince Vaughn , Swingers) and Nick ( Owen Wilson , Cars) have recently lost their jobs as the business has folded underneath them. Neither has the skills to survive in the new world of online sales, until Billy gets a wondrous idea: retrain as an intern at the Google headquarters

After a detour into sci-fi drama with Real Steel , Shawn Levy has returned to full-on comedy with The Internship , featuring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two salesmen competing for possible jobs at Google. The Wedding Crashers duo reunites for the tale of two old school salesmen whose company, led by disreputable boss John Goodman , collapses. Desperate to find new work, they hatch a plan to apply to Google’s intern programme, hoping it’ll lead to jobs. But they soon find themselves out of their depth in a crowd of young, geeky geniuses who know far more about the modern work environment and are just waiting to run rings around our heroes. But could the experienced guys have a thing or two to teach them? Our guess, based on this, is probably. But while it has a few generic moments (groin hits? Again? Really?), we’re hoping a talented, funny cast (which also includes Dylan O’Brien, Aasif Mandvi, Rose Byrne, Josh Gad and Max Minghella ) can make the script – by Vaughn and

Jackman plays Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring.

When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Goyo) to build and train a championship contender.

Hugh Jackman is director Shawn Levy's first choice to star in 20th Century Fox's Fantastic Voyage , the James Cameron -produced 3D tent pole film. It's early days, but this would give Jackman a big movie to do while he and Fox sort things out with The Wolverine . The film was on a fast track to start production this year, until Darren Aronofsky dropped out as director. They've considered such helmers as Source Code's Duncan Jones and David Slade, but haven't yet hired a helmer. There has also been complications because the Christopher McQuarrie script is set almost entirely in Japan, a country still dealing with the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and monsoon. Pushing the picture back wouldn't hurt Fox that much, because expectations are high for this summer's X-Men: First Class , which would keep the franchise vibrant. It would also keep Jackman and Levy in the Fox fold at a time when their recent collaboration, Real Steel , looks like it co

Robert Downey Jr. Got His Eye On A Girl Robert Downey Jr. has officially left the orbit of Gravity , the Alfonso Cuaron outer space survival thriller set up at Warner Bros. But those who need their Downey fix can turn their attention to Fox’s How to Talk to Girls . Sources say that actor is circling the project, an adaptation of a book by a nine-year old boy revolving around advice on how to deal with the opposite sex. Downey, along with wife and producing partner Susan Downey, would also come aboard as a producer, joining Shawn Levy and his 21 Laps banner. Girls was written by Alec Greven , then 9 years old, as a school project. It landed the boy a publishing deal (at least three other How to Talk to ... books have been written) and put him on talk shows across the country. Ben Karlin and Stu Zicherman wrote a draft but word is that the project is being reconceived and developed as a Downey vehicle. Susan Downey will spearhead the development process and will oversee the

Spike TV's Deadliest Warrior Coming To The Big Screen Paramount Pictures announced today it has made a deal for Shawn Levy's 21 Laps Entertainment to do a big-screen adaptation of sister company Spike TV 's original hit series " Deadliest Warrior ." The announcement comes on the heels of the show’s Season 2 finale, which brought about exceptional ratings for the network. Spike TV has renewed the series for a third season.

The first two seasons showed such memorable battles as Spartan vs. Ninja

First Picture Of Hugh Jackman In "Real Steel" Now I for one would not want to face this guy in the ring. The iron-jawed fighter is from the upcoming film Real Steel, the film stars Hugh Jackman and he will not be throwing any punches. The movie, directed by Shawn Levy (Date Night), imagines a world in which human boxing is non-existent, replaced by leagues of mechanized pugilists. It's expected to arrive in theaters in November 2011. "The moment of walking in and seeing these robots, my jaw was on the floor," Jackman said Monday. That's because the robot in this image is a real device, not a digital visual effect. Motion-capture animation is used in the film when the machines are brawling (with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard working as an adviser on those), but 19 real-life animatronic giants were created for scenes with the human actors. Levy says that blend was encouraged by Steven Spielberg , an executive producer. (This is a DreamWorks fil
