While the critical reaction to last year’s Need For Speed might have made it seem as though any sequel idea would end up rusting in a disused garage, game producers Electronic Arts took a look at the $203 million worldwide box office and decided to try to gear up a sequel. The company is has several Chinese companies looking to help get a new movie made. According to Variety, the plan for this one is to play up those business connections and shoot much of the movie in China, with local actors taking big roles. There’s no word yet on whether any of the cast from last year’s first film – which included Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots and Michael Keaton – will return. And a bigger roadblock is locking down the rights to make the thing at all, since DreamWorks currently holds the option. But EA will almost certainly figure out some sort of deal, especially since the company aims to release more games based in the series. “We are excited to work with EA, one of the world’s most recognized cre

The classic gets wet and spawns a remake. By Brandon Wolfe Because it was a popular thing that happened in the 1980s, it’s now time to brush the dust off of Gremlins for its inevitable reboot. Warner Bros. has hired Goosebumps screenwriter Carl Ellsworth to pen a remake of the 1984 horror-comedy classic about creatures that react poorly to light, water and midnight snacks. Chris Columbus, who wrote the script for the original, will produce the remake along with original producer Steven Spielberg. Notably absent from the report is the participation of original director Joe Dante, whose manic inventiveness was key to the offbeat charms of the original and (especially) its 1990 sequel. Without Dante’s involvement, a Gremlins remake somehow manages to find yet another way to feel entirely pointless. Discuss this story with fellow SJF fans on Facebook .

ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL Online Trailer. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL is the uniquely funny, moving story of Greg ( Thomas Mann ), a high school senior who is trying to blend in anonymously, avoiding deeper relationships as a survival strategy for navigating the social minefield that is teenage life. He even describes his constant companion Earl ( RJ Cyler ), with whom he makes short film parodies of classic movies, as more of a 'co-worker’ than a best friend. But when Greg’s mom (Connie Britton) insists he spend time with Rachel ( Olivia Cooke ) – a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer - he slowly discovers how worthwhile the true bonds of friendship can be.

Jimmy breaks bad. Review by Brandon Wolfe It’s been easy to forget that Jimmy McGill, the put-upon protagonist of Better Call Saul , is the same man as Saul Goodman, the oily sleazebucket from Breaking Bad . It’s not just that Jimmy goes by a different name and largely interacts with people unfamiliar to us, but more that he simply hasn’t felt like the same individual. Jimmy is a good-hearted man who can’t catch a break, where Saul was as crooked as a barrel of snakes and almost always in control. Over and over, throughout the first nine episodes of the spin-off, we’ve seen Jimmy struggle to do what’s right, to not slip back into the “Slippin’ Jimmy” con-artist ways of his youth, only to watch him eat the pavement with each attempt. The lesson that Jimmy takes from his trials over the course of the season is that crime does pay and being a straight-arrow is for suckers, and given what he’s been through, it’s difficult to argue to the contrary. “Marco” opens with a flashback to

The request comes after Comcast files complaint. Story by Matt Cummings The series of DirecTV ads featuring Actor Rob Lowe has hit almost every nerve in America's underground culture: the hairy guy community, the shy bladder community, the meathead community. And now they and the Overly-Paranoid and Creepy Guy communities have joined forces to shut down those commercials. Actually, it's the cable company Comcast that's filed the complaint, and an advertising trade group apparently agrees with them. According to Variety.com , The Council of Better Business Bureau’s National Advertising Division (COBBBNAD) said DirecTV should stop airing the commercials because they're making certain inaccurate complaints about their service. Among those claims which Comcast says are false is DirecTV's statement that, “With DirecTV you get 99% signal reliability” and that customers would benefit from the "best picture quality and sound” if they subscribed to their
