Ian Stone Director Attached to Lost Boys: The Bite

24 September 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Warner Premiere is moving forward on Lost Boys 3: The Bite (although we suspect they'll drop the number 3). According to Production Weekly, Evan Charnov scripted the threequel. He penned Fearless , a TV vehicle for Rachel Leigh Cook in 2004. In the director's chair is Dario Piana who helmed the After Dark Horrorfest 2 entry The Deaths of Ian Stone (pictured) - a film that demonstrated promise but was bogged down by script problems. While Pw doesn't offer any plot details, it does reiterate what we've heard in the past: Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander are back to reprise their roles as the Frog Brothers. Both appeared in the 2008 direct-to-dvd misfire Lost Boys: The Tribe . Filming will take place in Capetown, South Africa. »

'Archie' Gets an Agent

21 September 2009 9:05 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Archie Andrews is going to the movies.

Variety reports that Archie Comics Publications, which has chronicled the exploits of Archie and the other clean-cut, fictional American teenagers of Riverdale since the 1940’s, has signed with show business giant CAA.

The deal represents the latest pact between Hollywood and established brands in other media, following on the heels of Disney’s pending acquisition of Marvel Entertainment.

CAA is expected to look for ways to bring "Archie & Friends", "Cosmo the Merry Martian", "Super Duck", and other Archie Comics properties to the big and small screen. The agency has already served as a matchmaker for Mattel, setting up the toymaker’s Major Matt Mason property as a potential film starring Tom Hanks.

One Archie Comics staple, "Josie and the Pussycats", was made into a 2001 motion picture starring Rachael Leigh Cook; however, the film is considered to be loosely-based on the comic. With CAA now at their side, »

TV Review: Psych 4.5 & 4.6

19 September 2009 7:48 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Psych, USA, Airs Friday 10/9c Episode: “Shawn Gets the Yips” (Season Four, Episode 5) Synopsis: While celebrating a softball win, the Sbpd gang find themselves in a bar where a man sneaks in and randomly starts shooting at the crowd. Shawn uses his fake psychic powers to determine that Detective Lasseter was the intended target. Chief Vic opens an investigation on Lasseter’s old cases to discover the assailant. Review: I’ve been enjoying the latest episodes of Psych simply because they have been mining the comedy from Shawn and Gus’s interactions. Like any episode, this isn’t a great mystery, but rather more of a comedy watching things unravel. Psych has toyed around in the past with crimes hitting close to home with the characters, namely one episode where Lassie lost his badge and another when Gus was in mortal danger during a bank heist. These episodes have been a bit uneven, but »

First Images From Adult Swim’s ‘Titan Maximum’

11 September 2009 11:15 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

The folks over at Adult Swim have been pretty spot on with animated (and even live action) comedies in the past few years. They have produced some impressive shows, such as Venture Bros., Frisky Dingo, and of course, Robot Chicken. Due to the success of the latter, the show’s creators have developed a new show, Titan Maximum.

The show is about the Titan Force Five a team of young heroes who band together after breaking up to take down one of their own who turned to the dark side. It’s basically a claymation Voltron accept updated with the sense of humor of Tom Root, Matt Senreich, and Seth Green. Starring some of the Robot Chicken regulars like Breckin Meyer, Rachael Leigh Cook, Dan Milano, Eden Espinosa, and Seth Green.

Titan Maximum premieres September 27 at 11:30 p.m. (Et/Pt) on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Check out the »

TV Review: Psych 4.2 – He’s Dead

16 August 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Psych, USA, Airs Friday 10/9c Episode: “He's Dead” (Season Four, Episode 2) Synopsis: Shawn and Gus crash a search party for a missing billionaire whose plane went down in the California woods. Shawn uses his fake psychic intuition (and a super-secret map) to find the plane. Inside, the billionaire asks him to find his killers. This leads Shawn and Gus to be hired by the man’s widow. Yet, when the “psychic vibrations” start to point to one of the family members, they’re fired from the case, only to jump back on it with the Sbpd. Review: After watching this show for a couple seasons, I think I have it completely figured out. It’s not really the quality of the mystery, but rather the path that our favorite fake psychics take to get there. The clues are always pretty random, and it’s almost impossible to fit everything together before Shawn sums it up. And »

Comic Con 2009: Dule Hill Tap Danced on 'Psych' Panel

24 July 2009 1:48 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

"Psych" panel at San Diego Comic Con became unconventional as soon as Dule Hill got up from his seat and displayed his tap dance skill. The actor who plays Gus was one of the cast attending the presentation on Thursday, July 23 to talk about the upcoming season 4.

Apart from Hill, the panel consisted of James Roday (Shawn), Timothy Omundson (Carlton), Corbin Bernsen (Henry), Maggie Lawson (Juliet), and executive producers Kelly Kulchak, Chris Henze and Steve Franks. As a first timer at Comic Con, the show airing on USA Network did impressively well in engaging the audience.

It started off with a video montage of the funny moments within the show and moved on to conversations about clues to the next season and other topics which sometimes are quite unrelated to the show.

Without giving much, the video preview gave little spoilers such as Shawn being shot, kidnapping and a plane crash. »

Movies We Love: Josie and the Pussycats

17 June 2009 3:20 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) Conform! Free thinking is overrated! Orange is the new pink! Synopsis A uniquely rebellious girl group is taken from obscurity to superstardom in a decades-old plot to brainwash the youth of America through pop music. Josie (Rachel Leigh Cook) is turned into a star, Val (Rosario Dawson) deals with being outside the spotlight and Melody (Tara Reid) is a total moron. Will they satirically be able to save the country from conformity? Why I Love It When I was watching this the other night, I kept talking about how awesome it was, so Neil challenged me to write about it for this column. And I admit, dear readers, that I was afraid to. Why? Because it's not a very universally well-liked movie. So I've changed the normal "we" headers to "I" headers to make it clear that I don't speak for Fsr as a whole. But those who don't like this movie are »

[DVD Review] Bob Funk

15 June 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

The clue is in the title. His name is Bob (Michael Leydon Campbell) and he’s in a bit of a funk. Bob’s a drunken, misanthropic mattress salesman with appalling people skills, an infinitely more buttoned down older brother Ron (Eddie Jemison), and a mother (Grace Zabriskie) who’s also his boss and fast running out of patience. Cue Rachel Leigh Cook’s klutzy cupcake Ms. Thorne, who Bob instantly warms to in his own sweaty way and who must now supervise his latest period of job probation. It’s a workplace comedy with all the elements present and correct for a riotous giggle fest with just one teeny tiny - hardly worth mentioning really - little flaw. It’s apocalyptically unfunny.

Now that hit television shows like The Office have dragged the comedy of embarrassment out of the cult corner in which it languished, we’re seeing something »

When the next big thing isn't

15 June 2009 1:56 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

Hollywood is littered with the false promises of future stars that never where. From mistaken Oscar winners (Mira Sorvino), to leading men who aren't meant to break out (Chris Evans) to teen stars that couldn't find work as adults (Rachel Leigh Cook), the next big thing usually isn't. Here's a look at some of the wannabes who should have become household names over the past decade or so, but didn't. Agree? Disagree? Share your thoughts below. »

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (Blu Ray) - Review

6 June 2009 11:18 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

The Movie:

Now is a good time to own a blu ray player Final Fantasy fans.

In 2001, Squaresoft made their first foray into the motion picture industry with Final Fantasy: The Spirits With. With their gorgeous cinematics within the games they made, surely a film made by them would be a phenomenal piece of work? Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Though Spirits Within had some dazzling CGI, its plot and script left a lot to be desired, and ultimately becoming a box office disaster for the company. Though it has its share of fans (like yours truly), even they agreed that Square could have done something a little bit more true to the game universe (or universes) that they created. Cut to 2005, Squaresoft, now Square Enix, announces a new Final Fantasy movie, this time, a direct sequel to their most beloved game of the series, Final Fantasy VII. Fans were ecstatic, »

Lauren, Jon, and Fergie Get Hot in Hollywood

23 April 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

It was a star-studded red carpet at Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party in La last night. Lauren Conrad is a staple at the yearly bash and looked angelic in white after spicing it up in yellow to give out spoilers at PaleyFest. Her ex Doug Reinhardt was there, attached at the hip with Paris Hilton as usual, though we'd rather gaze at Jon Hamm with Jennifer Westfeldt by his side. Even Kara DioGuardi stopped by after American Idol's double elimination night. Never ones to miss an event, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, back from their bikini trip to Mexico, made it out for the festivities as the gorgeous crowd partied the night away.

Writer Tapped For Lost Boys 3!

19 March 2009 4:12 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »

Bloody-Disgusting reports that veteran TV writer Evan Charnov (who most recently penned & produced Fearless, a TV movie with Rachel Leigh Cook & Ian Somerhalder) has been tapped to write the screenplay for Lost Boys 3. After all, Lost Boys: The Tribe (aka Lost Boys 2) did decent business on DVD for Warner Premiere (despite what you may have thought of the movie). B-d also says that Corey Feldman is co-producing and that his character Edgar Frog will be the focus of the second sequel. Don't expect Corey Haim to come back, but Moviehole adds that you'll most likely see Jamison Newlander returning as Alan Frog. (Hope he's not a vampire like in the unused alternate ending for Tribe). More when we hear it!

Lost Boys 3 on the Rise at Warner Premiere

18 March 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Inevitable? You betcha. After the success of Lost Boys: The Tribe , Warner Premiere is moving forward on a Lost Boys 3 (which will probably also drop the "number" and gain a subtitle instead). It's been rumored for a few months now, but talent is starting to come together. On one end, Moviehole is reporting Jamison Newlander (relegated to the deleted scenes of The Tribe 's DVD) and Corey Feldman are returning. Meanwhile, Bloody-Disgusting says writer Evan Charnov has been attached to pen the third installment. Charnov's only credit is the 2004 Rachael Leigh Cook television thriller Fearless . If a writer is just now coming aboard, shooting may begin this fall for a 2010 DVD release. No word yet on a director. »

Corey Feldman Returns For Lost Boys 3 -- I think I smell another season of The Two Coreys!

17 March 2009 | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

After the thrilling climax of “Lost Boys 2: The Tribe” I was left with just one thought: “Oh man, when are they gonna hurry up and make another one of these bad boys?” Seems I have my answer as BloodyDisgusting is reporting that Warners has attached a writer for “Lost Boys 3”. Evan Charnov, writer and producer on the Rachel Leigh Cook series “Fearless”, will script the direct-to-dvd sequel. And you thought these movies just wrote themselves… or maybe that was just me. In other “Lost Boys 3” news, Corey Feldman will once again return as everyone’s favorite Frog brother Edgar. Apparently this time around the plot will actually focus on Feldman instead of on a bunch of unknown blood-suckers. So there’s that to look forward to I guess. Moviehole is also reporting that the other Frog brother, Jamison Newlander, has agreed to come back ... »

"An American Affair"

We're a country enamored with the marvels of our great democracy while also continuing a nasty habit of cultivating political dynasties, the thrall of which we continue to find irresistible, and there is no finer example of that than the Kennedy family. Put out by tiny indie distributor Screen Media Films, this feature from director William Olsson charts the coming of age of a young boy named Adam (Cameron Bright) who watches and wonders about John F. Kennedy's affair with a woman (Gretchen Mol) living across the street in 1963.
