'New Moon' TV Spot Makes Its Debut!

That's right, here is yet ANOTHER peek at the film that is causing a stir, New Moon.  This is the Tv Spot and I have to say it's pretty darn fantastic.  There's werewolves, heartbreak, vampires, chasing, love and more all in a matter of 31 seconds! LOVE IT!  

So if you are interested in seeing the entire spot I found it in clear HD quality here

Here are some screen shots I took from the TV Spot so you don't think it's something you've seen before...

Kudos to Those Who Slept Well After 'Paranormal Activity'

I recently saw the most talked-about ghost flick of the season, Paranormal Activity.  Let me just say, had it not been for the documentary fliming style and the night vision, I would've been completely content with another thriller flick.  HOWEVER, I was just simply freaked the hell out the entire movie.  

The story is disturbing and the night vision shots are just plain scary.  Congratulations Oren Peli, you scared the crap out of me.  Normally I would sleep soundly at night, but after seeing this film I wake up at every creak, tap, AC power... you name it.  It's been a long time since I have not been able to sleep at night due to a scary film, so kudos...

The film focuses on a couple who is documenting their paranormal findings in their home for their own sake so they know for a fact they are not going crazy.  Micah buys a camera and records his girlfriend, Katy and his days throughout the day and night.  When things continue to go 'bump' in the night (UNDERSTATEMENT!), Micah feels its best to antagonize the "spirit" to get it to communicate.  After several pleads from his girlfriend to leave the spirit alone and turn the camera off, things take a turn for the worse and every belief they had about the other side is changed forever.  

The film is shot documentary style and this increases people's ability to believe this film and all its glory is legit and the couple's house is possessed.   I suggest not seeing this movie alone and not sleeping alone afterward... I'm still trying to get over it!

'The Crow' gets a Reboot!

So, I happened to love 1994's The Crow, featuring Brandon Lee (RIP).  I didn't, however, appreciate all the sequels and whatnot... 

BUT, as director Alex Proyas defined a new world for emo-kids all across the world the dark classic, we feel that NOW's as good a time as any to give the flim a good ol' reboot!  According to Comics2flim, Stephen Norrington at Relativity Media says that his script is doing well as it makes the studio rounds and will be, "realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary style."

Man, it's about time we have more pre-teens emulating a dark, dead vigilante!  It's been too damn long!  I look forward to seeing where The Dark Knight makeover will take this series... c'mon Norrington, give me something good!  

Access Hollywood's New Moon Sneak Peek

So I think that Summit is trying to drive me crazy with all these New Moon clips and footage and pictures!  Why not just release the movie early, cause that's basically what they're doing!!  

UGH!  I mean I'm appreciating the inside look and all, but this is getting ridiculous. 

HOWEVER, for your Twilight-lover enjoyment, I am placing a 13second sneak peek Access Hollywood put up and they're not done either.  The full clip will be shown on AH on Thursday the 22nd of October.  

Seriously, just show me the movie already cause I feel like I've seen most of it already!  

Angie to Play a Murderer in Ridley Scott's 'Gucci'

Director, Ridley Scott has been talking about making a movie about the infamous Gucci family, which would climax with the murder of the former fashion tycoon Maurizio Gucci, who was gunned down in 1995 by ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani.  According to Variety, actress Angelina Jolie has been offered the role as Reggiani.  

Regardless of Scott's more anticipated projects like the Alien prequel, and a Monopoly game adaptation, he is actively developing Gucci.  This film is reportedly a priority for Fox 2000, which is in the process of rewriting the script.  The story is said to pan over three decades, not only covering Gucci's murder, but his familys fashion empire as well.  

Scott has been said to be hopeful that Leo DiCaprio will play Maurizio Gucci... but I don't think it'll work out.  He doesn't even look like the guy, and him and Jolie would just be a bad match.  

'30 Days of Night' Sequel Announces Cast

Believe it or not, 30 Days of Night has a sequel in the works.  With all the vampire hype, I can't imagine why Colombia Pictures would think a sequel would be appropriate... looks like they're just cashing out on a trend.  

According to Bloody Disgusting, the sequel, titled 30 Days of Night: Dark Days will star Rhys Coiro (Entourage, 24)  and Mia Kirshner (The Black Dahlia, The L Word) as a human and vampire respectively.  Also, Harold Perrineau (Lost), Kiele Sanchez (The Perfect Getaway), Doira Baird (Accepted, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) and Monique Ganderton (Smallville) filling out the cast in unknown roles...  

The film will focus on Stella (Melissa George), who after losing her fiance, joins a group of vampire hunters to track and kill the vampires responsible for the killings in her Alaskan town.  

I have to say, the first 2007 film ended without any loose ends... so I don't really see why there's a sequel in the mix if not for the Vamp trend going on.  Also, isn't it coincidental that Director David Slade, who directed the first film, is NOW directing another vampire film, Twilight Saga: Eclipse.  Hmm... thoughts?

Trailer for Sundance Claymation Mary & Max

Mary & Max was this year's anticipated film at the Sundance Flim Festival.  However, it was overshadowed by films like, 500 Days of Summer and Moon.  Now the film is seeing release thanks to Sundance Selects and it's availability on-demand right now from various cable providers.  

Trailer Addict got its hands on the new trailer for the film, which introduces us to the pen-pal relationship between a lonely Australian girl, Mary (Toni Collette) and an even lonelier Manhattan dude, Max (Phillip Seymour Hoffman).  It looks so cute and emotional... but also weird in a way, which makes a film worth watching cause not everything is as cute and cuddly as it seems!  

Check it! Let me know what you think!

11 New Moon Images Released!

Yes, that's right... pretty much we'll see the entire movie still-by-still by the time November 20th rolls around.  

But here are some images provided by Summit Entertainment.  Thanks SUMMIT!

Wes Craven May Direct Scream 4 After All!

So on Monday, Cinemablend wrote an article where a "scooper" claimed that  Scream 4 would definitely included Wes Craven as the director.  Well, Craven repsonded to this via Twitter and confirmed it, sort of...

Here is what he tweeted:

"In response to the rumors about me directing SCREAM 4, a deal has not yet been set, so stay tuned for accurate information.” 

My take on this tweet is that he intends to direct the slasher flick and that he is in negotiations concerning the film but nothing has been set in stone.  However, it's still open to interpretation...

As Wes said... Stay tuned!

Sherlock Holmes New Trailer

Sherlock Holmes has a brand new, action-packed trailer that was released this week!  

I can't wait!  Jude law and Robert Downey Jr. look like a great team and seem to compliment each other with Holmes' crazy experiements and tactics and Watson's practical mind and logical eye.  

Here's the trailer! Starts off slow... then it gets intense! Just how I like it...

NEW MOON Exclusive Clip!

Last night, ET decided to unveil an exclusive New Moon clip revealing, for the first time, how Jacob's friend 'Paul' (Alex Meraz) phases into a wolf before Bella's eyes.  

Funny how they showed this clip when it's exactly one month from today that the movie theaters will be jam-pack with Twilighters screaming for Jacob, Edward and Bella.   

The clip shows an angry Bella (Kristen Stewart) stalking towards Jacob's (Taylor Lautner) wolf pack.  She is in the dark about the whole man-changing-into-a-wolf ability, and she is pissed that Jacob is scared and acting strange towards her.  She confronts 'Sam Uley' (Chaske Spencer) and demands to know what he has done to her friend because he tells her nothing because of Sam.  Paul decides to give a chuckle as no answers are given to her and she punches him in the nose.  Unable to control his anger, Paul phases into a large grey wolf and lunges after Bella as she runs towards a pissed off Jacob.  She screams, "Jake run!" but Jacob leaps over her and phases into a red-furred wolf in mid-jump to protect her.  SCENE!

Aparently the intensity of the scene got some viewers asking some questions to Alex Meraz about the scene at a "Twilight convention" during Q&A.  Alex admitted that he went too far with Kristen in one take of the scene by grabbing her throat and shouting his line mere inches from her face...  geez!

"Director, Chris Weitz comes off-set like, 'Yeah, I like the energy Alex, but just take it down a little,'" fellow wolf brother, Chaske Spencer recalled.  "Meanwhile the producers were freaking out back there..." 

The clip, with an introduction by Taylor "makemeacradlerobber" Lautner is now FREE on iTunes... don't forget there is another sneak peek on the way at Spike's 2009 Scream Awards!  

Here's the clip, if you don't wanna venture over to iTunes....

Can't WAIT!  Geez... I feel we'll see the whole movie by the time November rolls around! 

Stan Lee Want More than a Cameo!

So the legendary Stan Lee dished a few details over at Collider in an interview about upcoming projects like Iron Man 2 and Kenneth Branagh's Thor.  WARNING: light spoiler alert...

Lee admitted that he will be adding the role of Larry King to his laundry list of Marvel film cameos.  However, he made sure we all knew that it wasn't his idea, yet he said he had fun doing it but wishes he could have a bigger cameo already!  

One other detail given in the interview was if Stan Lee was really joking when he said he wanted to show up as "Odin" for the next in the dwindling list of Avengers set-ups, Thor.  As interviewers giggle to themselves, Lee tells them that he was really upset that Branagh didn't even consider him for the role.  Umm, not sure how this 86 year-old could flex his dissolving muscles to cast lightening down upon his foes...  but it would be hilarious to watch!  Even though he won't be playing a God, you can still bow before him when he pops into the screen in his cameos.  :)

Jamie Foxx Joins 'The Hangover' Team

So... I haven't seen Jamie Foxx in a comedy since probably Booty Call.  (And it hurt my brain)

So I can see why he would be so eager to join up with The Soloist co-star, Robert Downey Jr. once again, but in a comedy role instead of a dramatical one.  According to Foxx, he is teaming up The Hangover director, Todd Phillips to film a flick called, Due Date.  

Foxx gave praise for Phillips and called him "The funniest guy in the world..."

This film will reunite Phillips with The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis to tell a story a father-to-be (Downey Jr.)  who is forced to hitch a ride with a complete slacker (Galifianakis) in order to make his child's birth on time.  Of course, we can predict chaos in this little journey to the delivery room, which will explain Foxx's character, a former lover of his buddy's wife and mommy-to-be (Michelle Monaghan) whom he can't get over.  

"Robert Downey Jr. is this guy and his wife is about to have a kid, "Foxx explained to MTV, "I knewhis wife back in the day and we had a little thing, but he doesn't know about it- and I don't know whether to tell him about it.... it's just this funny road trip." 

The film is said to being shooting soon, but if you want your fill of Foxx before then, you can see him starring in Law Abiding Citizen opposite Gerard Butler which came out in theaters this past weekend.  

Vin Diesel is all in for 'xXx 3'

So here's some rumor control...  recently a website with a trusted source mentioned that actor Vin Diesel had dropped out of the xXx 3 project.  Well, that's not true...  

People suspected it would be true due to director Rob Cohen's departure.  However, this aint the case for Vin.  Diesel started the franchise in 2002, and then in 2005 Ice Cube took over as the new xXx hero.  As this rumor is untrue... and I hoped it would be so I didn't have to Ice Cube in another action flick (Lord help him), Diesel is still on board for the project xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.  Expected release date is in 2011, but I doubt I'll be anxiously awaiting outside the door for this film to be released.  Never was a big Diesel fan... no offense to you Vin Diesel-lovers out there.  :)

New Vampire Cast for Vamp 'Lucy' Role for "Eclipse"!!

TV actress, Kristen Prout (Kyle XY, Elektra), is set to join in on the Vampire fun in Twilight Saga: Eclipse.  She will play the role as the vampire Lucy in Jasper Hale's (Jackson Rathbone) backstory.  Her character plays a critical role in his past as she and the vampire Maria (Catalina Sandino Moreno) build an army of blodsuckers in the south during the Civil War.  Unfortunately, her partner in crime and the newly inducted Jasper will eventually kill her... but at least there's a face to the name!  

I can't wait!!!

Get ready for more X-Men!

After director Bryan Singer mention he would be returning to the X-Men franchsise, his producer Lauren Shuler-Donner gave out some juicy details about some of the latest X-Men spinoffs:

Wolverine 2: 

"It's actually the story we wanted to use for the first Wolverine film, but Tom Rothman preferred to set the character up with an origin story first. What’s cool about this part of the saga is that Wolverine will be fighting in a different style to what we’ve seen before. Mariko’s father has this stick-like weapon, so Wolverine will have to fight against that. There’ll be samurai, ninja, katana blades, different forms of martial arts — mano-a-mano, extreme fighting."

X-Men: First Class:

"We want it to be like the recent, darker Potters. It should not be a kiddie movie: we’re in the X-Men world so you can’t suddenly change the tone. The First Class comics are really fun — they’re funnier than any other comics I’ve read. Basically in each one the kids are fighting strange villains, sometimes it’s aliens, sometimes it’s monsters. I want to get a flavour of that world."

Deadpool:

"I don’t see it as a problem that Ryan Reynolds is also playing Green Lantern. I mean, look at Harrison Ford – he was in Stars Wars and Indiana Jones at the same time and everyone was fine with that. Green Lantern could not be more different to Wade Wilson. Green Lantern is a guy who finds a ring and is thrust into this world, much like Spider-Man. Wade Wilson is a bad ass, a wise-cracking mercenary, who will go out and kill anyone for money. But the thing about him is that, underneath it all, and he wouldn’t want you to know this, sometimes he’s not such a bad ass after all."

Geez, they won't quit huh?  Well, its a good thing they won't stop continuing the X-Men series cause I'm definitely not tired of seeing Hugh Jackman in his Wolverine role and Ryan Reynolds and all those other X-men hotties in their mutan get-ups.  Bring it ON!  :)

Children's book turned movie, Where the Wild Things Are is definitely on it's way to earning back its $80 million budget as it earns the number one spot in Sunday's box office report. Gerard Butler's Law Abiding Citizen takes number 2 this opening weekend and we expect it to remain there for quite some time.  Paranomal Activity continues to move up the ladder (as I predicted it would) and Couple's Retreat drops to number 4.

2. "Law Abiding Citizen" ($21.3 million)
