BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Scream 4 Coming To A Theater Near You Soon

Scream 4 Coming To A Theater Near You Soon Got to go with what make you money. The Franchise films. Other then that what does the Weinstein company have going for them to keep them going? Promising that "I'm going back to doing what I do best," Bob Weinstein is revving up franchises and genre films for Dimension , with familiar faces onboard (e.g., Neve Campbell has just signed for "Scream 4") and a new emphasis on 3D. "Scream 4" will start production in April or May as the first of a new trilogy, and the company is talking to Wes Craven to direct, Weinstein reports. In addition to Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette will return to the "Scream" franchise. Robert Rodriguez is writing "Spy Kids 4," which he will direct in 3D. The movie will be made in partnership with Disney and will start shooting in March, Weinstein said. We reported earlier, the company wants to shoot " Halloween III " in 3D, aiming to release

Venom Movie Looks Likely To Get Made Soon

Venom Movie Looks Likely To Get Made Soon We can only hope that the Venom Movie that Rhett and Paul wrote will be better then what we saw in Spider-Man #. The only Good part about Spider-Man 3 was our good Friend Michael Papajohn Reprising his role in the movie as Dennis Carradine / Carjacker . Or the Man who killed Uncle Ben? Now Sony is going forward with a Venom spin off movie, which pretty much has fans split down the middle. Will it finally do the fanged black-ooze baddie justice, or will it be more of the same? The good news is that Zombieland co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been tasked with penning the project (Zombieland is awesome, so fingers crossed). Today Wernick confirmed to us that the project is still moving forward and the writing team has turned the script in to the suits at Sony. "We've written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they're pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward," Wernick told SCI FI Wire in a

New Kick Ass Trailer For "The Book of Eli"

New Kick Ass Trailer For "The Book of Eli" Starring Denzel Washington Trailer shows Denzel As an Action Hero that takes no Shit. The Trailer has a Road Warrior feel to it.I don't think that Denzel has had a role where he was an Action star,other then Man on Fire. And you can not go wrong with any movie also starring Gary Oldman (True Romance- Classic Role).He is such a versatile actor and one of the best. With the Hughes brothers directing the movie, forget about it. One of my favorite movies of all times is Menace II Society Which was their first film, and I think to this date was their best movie they have made. Can The Book Of Eli change me option? Warner Brothers describes The Book of Eli this way: Washington plays a lone warrior named Eli who fights his way across the desolate wasteland of near-future America to realize his destiny and deliver the knowledge in a book that can bring civilization back from the brink of destruction and save the future of humanity.

Ron Howard Going To Tackle "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft"

Ron Howard Going To Tackle "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft" After releasing two films this year, Ron Howard is planning his next move, and this week he sounded most excited about directing a big-budget adaptation of "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft ," based on the Image Comics series. "It very cleverly uses H.P. Lovecraft in a fictional way, but there's some loose biographical elements. But it certainly has the flavor and the tone of Lovecraft," Howard told me during an interview for an upcoming story on a different topic. "The character is a very young Lovecraft." It didn't sound like "Lovecraft" would be slipping into that category, and, just based on Howard's enthusiam, I'm guessing the comic-book adaptation will be the next movie set for the 55-year-old Oklahoma native. "You just never know," Howard said, "development is a minefield or a high-wire act or whatever you want to call i

David Cronenberg To Remake "The Fly" Again

David Cronenberg To Remake "The Fly" Again I loved this movie as a kid. I still remember watching it over and over again. I couldn't get over the bathroom scene with his ear and also the monkey in the machine. Not so sure about remaking a movie that you already remade. Do we really need another remake of a remake? Looks like some might think that we do. The auteur is in talks to develop a reboot of the 1986 classic with Fox, the studio that released that film, writing and potentially directing the new pic. The move marks an about-face for the Canadian director, who in the past has said he did not want to be involved on a remake of the film. Cronenberg did work on an opera version of "The Fly" that was staged first in Paris and then in Los Angeles. The 1986 title, itself a remake of Kurt Neumann's 1958 sci-fi classic , starred Jeff Goldblum and became a huge hit for Fox, earning $40 million and turning into a phenomenon. It centered on Seth Brundle (Goldblu

Twilight's Stephenie Meyer Adult Novel "The Host" To Become A Movie It's not like she already doesn't have the adults on her side with her Twilight novel's now she is really going to hook them with her novel " The Host " which is also going to be made into a film. Do you hear that? He bank account getting even Bigger. Producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz have used their own money to acquire screen rights to “The Host,” the first adult novel written by Stephenie Meyer , author of the “Twilight” series. Andrew Niccol will write the script and direct. Meyer’s novel is a love story set in the near future on Earth, which has been assimilated by an alien species that call themselves “Souls.” They are benevolent parasites that subsume the conscious of humans and take possession of their bodies.

He-Man "Masters of the Universe" Might Have Found A New Home

He-Man Might Have Found A New Home This movie keeps going back and forth,it's going to get made it's not. Let's hope that this is going to be the last stop for this film and get made. Just weeks after “ Masters of the Universe” parted ways with Warner Bros., the Mattel toy property is in negotiations to be preemptively picked up by Columbia with Escape Artists attached to produce. After months of deal-wrangling, Warners picked up “Universe” in 2007, hiring several writers and earlier this year set John Stevenson to direct. The two companies eventually began seeing two opposing visions for the movie and when the option came up, both sides decided to let it lapse. The 1980s show, named “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe,” followed a blond warrior named Prince Adam who, when uttering the magic words, "By the power of Grayskull -- I have the power," turned into the heroic He-Man. He and his allies -- Battle Cat, Man-at-Arms and Orko -- defended their planet Eter

David Goyer Is Going To Take On Ghost Rider Sequel

David Goyer Is Going To Take On Ghost Rider Alright, now I'm seeing a trend in superhero sequels. Batman got better, The Hulk got alot better, now this... Let's cross our finger. Columbia Pictures has begun to rev the throttle on a second installment of the Marvel Comics character “ Ghost Rider .” David Goyer is in early talks to create the story and supervise writers for a film expected to once again star Nicolas Cage , who played the highly flammable cyclist in the 2007 original. Through a spokesperson, Goyer said he hadn’t signed on yet. But plans are already under way to base the sequel on a “Ghost Rider” script written years ago by Goyer, whose superhero work includes hit screen transfers of DC’s “Batman Begins” and Marvel’s “Blade” franchise. The original “Ghost Rider” was scripted by director Mark Steven Johnson. The activity on “Ghost Rider” follows a flurry of activity on Marvel characters at almost every studio but Disney, which acquired Marvel Entertainment in a $4

His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO'd by drugs and crime.

'Voltron' Movie in Legal Hell

'Voltron' Movie in Legal Hell I just wish they would really just get this movie made. Enough messing around make this movie happen soon. Before it gets lost in Development hell. Japanese animation property " Voltron : Defender of the Universe" has become the subject of a legal battle between a group of indie producers and a family company that controls the property. In a suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, indie producers James Young, Ford Oelman and Mark Costa of banners Animus Films and NHO Entertainment allege that St. Louis-based World Events, which holds rights to the television property, and its partner Kickstart Prods. negotiated illegally with other producers during what the producers say was an exclusive period.

More Casting News For Marvel's Thor Movie

Jaimie Alexander (Kyle XY ) and Colm Feore (The Chronicles of Riddick ) have joined the cast of Thor, based on the Marvel Comics franchise, joining Star Trek's Chris Hemsworth in the Kenneth Branagh -directed movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Heroes Season 4 Premiere Review

Heroes Season 4 Premiere Review By April Meneghetti The show opens with a funeral for the brother of the leader of a group of carnies that are going to have a big role this season. The leader is a man named Samuel played by Robert Knepper , who I loved in Prison Break. This guy really knows how to play the bad guy so that you like him, in a sick twisted way. We see our “heroes” scattered, living their own lives. Clare is away at college, Peter is back to working as a paramedic, Hero and Ando are back in Japan , Matt is back at the police dept, and Nathan (or should I say Sylar) is back to work as a politician. Is it just me or is there something off about Clare’s new college buddy? Does she have a power? Did she kill Clare’s new roommate? I guess we will have to wait and see. One thing is for sure, I don’t see Clare having the normal college experience. Peter is back to using his powers for good and saving lives. I have to say that I hated it when he lost his powers. I think

Details On The Sequel To Sherlock Holmes

Details On The Sequel To Sherlock Holmes Movie hasn't even come out yet and they are already talking sequel. Hope their eggs don't hatch to soon. Brad Pittis set to star as Moriarty in the new pic, say people familiar with the project, though there is no deal in place for him to take the part. Susan Downey , Dan Lin and Joel Silver produced " Holmes ," a holiday release that, from well-received footage at Comic-Con, appeared to be an action-heavy rendition of the world Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created. Guy Ritchie helms the pic, and Downey stars as the title character; Jude Law plays protege Watson, and Rachel McAdams stars as love interest Irene Adler. Much of the talent is expected to return in the new pic, as could Ritchie as director. Pitt has been the subject of a litany of blog rumors as appearing in several shots of "Holmes" as Moriarty, but those familiar with the script say the character is in shadow and cannot be recognized.

Details of Toy Story 3 Plot Revealed

Details of Toy Story 3 Plot Spoiler Alert- Spoiler Alert Turn Back Now If You Don't Want To Know Any Details!! “Toy Story 3” begins three days before Andy heads off to college. With Andy’s Mom standing in her son’s bedroom, telling him that he has to make some tough decisions in regards to his belongings. This now 18-year-old has to decide what he wants to throw out, what he wants to keep / place into storage, and – more importantly – what Andy wants to take with him to college. Andy then sighs and tells his Mom “Nobody’s gonna want these toys. They’re junk.” As for the rest of “Toy Story 3” ‘s storyline … Given that the promotional catchphrase for this new Pixar Animation Studios production is “No Toy Gets Left Behind” … Well, we’ll just have to assume that this upcoming release is more of an epic adventure story than the last two “Toy Story” films.(Which is something that Lee Unkrich actually verified when he and I spoke at Comic-Con back in July.

What Nicolas Cage's Superman Could Have Been

What Nicolas Cage Superman Could Have Been What could this movie had done for the Superman Franchise, I know one thing it would have kept it alive. Very odd screen shot but none the less it is out there. Ever wonder what Nicolas Cage would have looked like had he played Superman in the late 1990s movie Superman Lives ? That was the scrapped version that would have been directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Kevin Smith (and rewritten by Wesley Strick) and produced by Jon Peters. Cage's casting as the last son of Krypton caused as much of a stir amongst fanboys as Michael Keaton's had when he won the title role in Burton's Batman. Filming on Superman Lives was to have begun in 1998 in Pittsburgh, but Warner Bros. ultimately put the project on hold due to its ballooning budget. Both Cage and Burton eventually dropped out of the project, but not after concept art and costume designs were made. And after years in-development and millions spent, Warners would ultimately s

Jack Kirby Estate Going To Court

Jack Kirby Estate Trying To Regain His Share Of Copyright The estate of Jack Kirby , co-creator of Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, The Avengers, Iron Man, Hulk, The Silver Surfer and Thor and has sent notices terminating copyright to publishers Marvel and Disney, as well as film studios that have made movies and TV shows based on characters he created or co-created, including Sony, Universal, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures. Just as the Jerry Siegel estate has done so with rights to Superman, so Kirby's estate is looking to regain his share of copyright in the characters and their use in comics and other media. the estate is using the same lawyers as the Siegels, Toberoff & Associates, who have been fairly successful in their case against DC/Warner so far. Such claims, if found valid, would begin from 2014 and, as always, its worth noting that Marvel/Disney will still own the trademarks of the characters in comics, and the studios in movies.
