Supernatural Season 5 Casting Updates
6 July 2009 9:15 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
Supernatural has a wild season coming up with the Winchester brothers going head to head with Satan / Lucifer / the Devil. No matter how much we like and root for the Winchesters, I’m not sure how they’re going to pull off taking on the man from down below himself.
With season five dealing with what comes of the final seal being broken, we’re going to be seeing some new faces and a few old faces.
This should be interesting.
Of the new faces, I know of at least one right now: Mark Pellegrino has been cast to play Lucifer for his day trip to our reality. As if Lucifer isn’t a pain in the backside, guess who’s coming to dinner also?
Remember the demon Meg with the giant chip on her shoulder for the Winchesters? She’s baaack, and I’m guessing she still has that grudge.

Streep Nom #7-8: The Abundant Riches of 1987-88
5 July 2009 6:03 PM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
We've been looking at each Meryl Streep Oscar nod and its competitive field. Previously: 78, 79, 81, 82, 83 and 85
Meryl Streep's first act was the Liberated Lady. The second was The Chameleon in which Meryl was always the lead, always had new hair, voice and body language and basically controlled Oscar's Universe. It was as if there was only 4 spots for Best Actress, one reserved for her in perpetuity. This second act ended with her intense immersion into notorious dingo-hating Lindy Chamberlain in A Cry in the Dark. [Editor's Note: Yes, I'll do a top ten performance list when "Streep at 60" wraps in mid July. I've heard your requests and I've been rewatching all the movies.]
Starting in 1989 Act III of Streep's career began but we'll get to that shortly. First, let's look at her competition in the last two years of her legendary Act II.

the nominees were...

'Red Dawn' Rewrite and New Wolverines Join the Pack
18 June 2009 2:32 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Since I'm resigned to the fact that everything is going to be remade sooner or later, the best I can hope for is that at least studios will hire people who know what they're doing. On that note, there's a ray of hope for MGM's Red Dawn remake because Latino Review reports that Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) has been hired to do a rewrite. I've got nothing against the project's original scribe, Carl Ellsworth, but if I had to choose between the two, I would much rather go with the writer of those Bourne films than the writer of Disturbia.
Yesterday, it was announced that Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki will star alongside Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek) in the tale of a group of teens turned militia men better known as the Wolverines. According to THR, Hemsworth will play the group's leader, Jed Eckert (originally played by Patrick Swayze), and

Red Dawn Remake Goes Bourne
18 June 2009 7:49 AM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news
There were a couple of additional casting announcements earlier this week for MGM's Red Dawn remake -- a project that I really couldn't care less about. Joining Chris Hemsworth are Josh Peck (The Wackness) and Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights), who will be playing the same roles played by Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey in the original. What I found somewhat interesting, however, was the director that they had chosen for the project: Dan Bradley, second unit director for the last two Bourne movies. He is also the same stunt co-ordinator that was brought on board Quantum of Solace in order to give James Bond a Bourne-style makeover. Clearly they're hoping to make this a gritty, realistic action movie, which is about the last thing I can see Red Dawn becoming. After all, it's about a group of teenagers defending their town from Soviet troops. At any rate, the Bourne

Two Join ‘Red Dawn’ Remake
17 June 2009 5:14 PM, PDT | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news
Update: Tony Gilroy (Bourne trilogy, Michael Clayton) may be rewriting the script, according to LatinoReview.
Adrianne Palicki and Josh Peck have been added to the cast of MGM/United Artists’ Red Dawn remake. The two will play teenage insurgents in a “revamped” version of the 1984 story where a small town is invaded by Chinese and Russian forces.
The “Wolverines” (their high school mascot, not the disappointing Hugh Jackman movie) are led by a Marine named Jed Eckert (the previously announced Chris Hemsworth), a role that helped make Patrick Swayze a star. Peck has signed to portray Jed’s younger brother Matt, a hot headed football quarterback (the part was originally Charlie Sheen’s first movie). Palicki is Toni, a timid girl who turns into a tough fighter and the love interest of Jed (formerly Jennifer Grey). Entertainment Weekly has a deeper breakdown of the characters in basically a Powerpoint presentation in case you’re interested.

New ‘Red Dawn’ Cast Grows By Two
17 June 2009 10:01 AM, PDT | From Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news
Just when you thought it was safe to be a highschool-er in a small town in Colorado, MGM/United Artists has announced that two, count ‘em, two actors have been cast in the upcoming remake of the 1984 classic Red Dawn.
Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki will be joining Chris Hemsworth as a group of “teens” fighting off a Chinese and Russian invasion, wolverine-style. Peck will play Matt Eckert, the young brother of Hemworth’s Jed. Palicki will inherit the Toni role, originally played by ’80s icon Jennifer Grey.
You can take our land, but you'll never take our kangaroo burgers.
The two actors are mostly known for their TV talents; Peck, of Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh and Palicki of NBC’s Friday Night Lights fame.
The modernized Red Dawn will be directed by newcomer Dan Bradley with production set to begin this September. Look for it in theaters in September,

Hard to Get Excited for MGM's 'Red Dawn' Remake
16 June 2009 11:58 PM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news
MGM's Red Dawn remake appears to actually be happening as Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki have joined Chris Hemsworth in the film to be directed by first timer Dan Bradley. The script was written by Carl Ellsworth and Jeremy Passmore whose work is limited although Ellsworth has recently co-written a couple of recent horror/thrillers including the awful The Last House on the Left remake and Disturbia. This remake is based on the John Milius-directed 1984 original, which was set during the dawn of World War III and followed a group of mid-western America teenagers as they band together to defend their town, and their country, from invading Soviet forces. The remake will follow a similar plot thread telling the story of a group of teenagers who form an impromptu insurgency when their town is invaded by Chinese and Russian soldiers. Peck -- most recently seen in The Wackness -- will play Matt Eckert,

‘Red Dawn’ Casts Two More to Yell “Wolverines!” On Mountain
16 June 2009 10:02 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
Remember when we couldn't stop talking about remakes because that's all Hollywood was making? Me too. It was a Golden Age that seemed like it would never end that led to the year 2040 where Hollywood was only making remakes of films they'd already remade. If this is starting to sound like an M.C. Escher painting or a Charlie Kaufman script, it should. Because creativity is dead forever, and Hollywood is going to keep re-remaking the same stuff over and over. On the plus side, it means we get to fight the Cold War again! The Hollywood Reporter is Hollywood reporting that the production of Red Dawn has just added Adrianne Palicki and Josh Peck to the cast, ostensibly as Wolverines. Peck is taking Charlie Sheen's role of Matt Eckert and Palicki will be taking Jennifer Grey's role of Toni. Both are really scrappy characters and have to fight off Commies invading Spokane. Fans

Depp Glad He Waited To Have Kids
10 June 2009 1:11 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Johnny Depp is relieved he didn't have children with ex-girlfriends including Winona Ryder and Jennifer Grey - because he often tried to force doomed relationships to work in his younger years.
The actor is grateful he waited for the perfect partner before starting a family - and he insists that person is Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his children Lily Rose and Jack.
But he recalls trying to convince himself that his former partners were the right women to settle down with.
And Depp believes he married make-up artist Lori Anne Allison in an attempt to make their unhappy relationship last.
He explains, "I'm glad I didn't have children until Vanessa and I got together.
"I think when you are young, you are hoping that this person will be the right one, the one you are going to be in love with forever but sometimes you want that so much you create something that isn't really there.
"I went through a number of relationships when I was younger because of that. I was very young when I married Lori Anne and probably it was because I was trying to create a situation.
"We married in 1983 but it didn't last very long and that was probably because I wasn't ready to handle such a commitment.
"I then got engaged to Jenny Grey, Winona Ryder and Kate Moss but it wasn't until I met Vanessa that life started to be real."
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" all over again
1 June 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news
This just out: A remake of Girls Just Want to Have Fun is in the works. My wife’s reaction of “Why would they remake perfection?!” aside, I pretty much expect this news to be met with a big resounding thud.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not disrespecting the original 1985 movie.

I love this movie. In fact, I own this movie. (And in honor of this news, I watched it this weekend!) But to the best of my knowledge, Girls Just Want to Have Fun was never really a cultural phenomenon.
If you’re not familiar with the movie, the fun-seeking girls in question are a post-Square Pegs Sarah Jessica Parker as the shy army brat who loves to dance, a post-Quarterback Princess Helen Hunt as the madcap best friend who convinces

[DVD Review] Ferris Bueller's Day Off
7 May 2009 12:51 AM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news
"They think he's a righteous dude."
For the most part, people still do. Long held as one of those pivotal teen pieces of American culture, Ferris Bueller's Day Off has been quoted the world ‘round by everyone. How many teachers or professors can you think of that have repeated the Ben Stein "Bueller....Bueller" attendance shtick? Hell, a painted water tower in the movie went on to inspire the name for the band Save Ferris. That's an entire band quoting the movie by its very existence. Ferris Bueller's Day Off became a worldwide sensation and made Matthew Broderick loveable enough that by the time he starred in Godzilla we still paid money to see him - even though we'd been told the movie was awful.
Ferris Bueller (Broderick) is the popular kid everyone dreams of being in high school. Even if you were a popular kid in high school, you

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Blu-ray Review
4 May 2009 4:56 AM, PDT | From Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news
.He.s a righteous dude.. Save Ferris. A high school student decides to take the day off by faking sick. The film certainly wouldn.t make Matthew Broderick.s career sick, as it would propel him to the status of teen icon. Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? It.s a fine spring day in Chicago and Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) is going to make the most of it and won.t let something like school stand in his way. He fakes an illness to his parents (Lyman Ward and Cindy Pickett) and much to the annoyance of his resentful sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey). Once he.s home alone he gets to work on convincing his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck), who is really sick
