A year after director/scribe Paul W. S. Anderson said he is working on fourth "Resident Evil" movie, reports on possible release date are coming in for the fourth installment of the video game adaptation series. Shock Till You Drop (Styd) recently broke out that the studio eyes to release the movie in U.S. theaters by September 17, 2010.
Styd claimed the news came from a Sony insider suggesting that an internal memo of the matter has circulated through the studio's offices. In addition to the potential release date, the site reported that the fourth movie is likely to be called "Resident Evil: Afterlife". Screen Gems, Sony's subsidiary company which has produced the previous "Resident Evil" movies, is yet to give any official comment on the story.
Back in late 2008, "Resident Evil" director Anderson has told IGN that he is writing another installment of "Resident Evil" franchise. "I'm writing a script right now.

Though season four of NBC’s “Heroes” won’t start for a few more months, Hayden Panettiere told MTV News that there’s a new mysterious group that fans can look forward to in September: The Carnival.
Panettierre, who plays the title role in July 10th’s “I Love You, Beth Cooper”, is already preparing for more adventures as super-powered cheerleader Claire Bennet.
“The next season of ‘Heroes’ has a lot of characters that are coming in,” says Panettierre, “There’s something called The Carnival… which is kind of the opposite of what The Company was. There’s a lot of new, cool characters.”
The Carnival, judging from leaked casting sheets that appeared on “Heroes” fansites will be represented literally. That means barkers, freaks and –- mostly likely -– more than a fair share of cotton candy. (spoiler warning there)
In the meantime, “Heroes” fans should be getting a healthy

Long before "Jai Ho" entered the international lexicon, the gap between Hollywood and Bollywood had already been shrinking. In distinctly Western style, much of the action has occurred behind the scenes: Indian cable TV magnate and Bollywood producer Ronnie Screwvala's Utv Software Communications has co-produced the latest Hollywood films from Indian filmmakers M. Night Shyamalan ("The Happening") and Mira Nair ("The Namesake"), in addition to making financing deals with Sony and Will Smith's production company Overbrook Entertainment; Disney and Warner Brothers have begun to finance their own Bollywood productions; and last year, Reliance, one of India's biggest producer of Bollywood films, made production pacts with the companies of Nicolas Cage, George Clooney and Brad Pitt before making their biggest coup -- financing DreamWorks, an investment that allowed the Steven Spielberg-led studio to leave its deal at Paramount.
However, Hollywood and Bollywood have been a little less quick

You can bring a 90s football drama home in a new DVD edition or, for the first time, on Blu-ray this September. Varsity Blues will be released on a new Deluxe Edition DVD and debut on Blu-ray on September 15. We don't have any pricing details as of yet, but you can take a look at the cover art and the special features below. The film stars James Van Der Beek, Paul Walker, Scott Caan, Jon Voight and Ali Larter.
James Van Der Beek leads the action in this exciting, funny coming-of-age story about a small-town high schooler confronting the pressures and temptations of gridiron glory. At first, backup quarterback Jonathan "Mox" Moxom (Van Der Beek) is nowhere close to being a football star. He's perfectly content to stay on the bench and out of the win-at-all-cost strategies of coach Bud Kilmer (Jon Voight in a powerful performance). But when the starting quarterback is injured,

One of the nice things about being a gay horror filmmaker is, after you hang around awhile, you realize you’re part of a nice little club. And eventually, it feels like you all know each other.
I first met Jeffrey Reddick at a cast and crew screening of one of my films. Paul (Hellbent) Etheredge-Ouzts brought his friend “Jeffrey” to the screening, and we chit-chatted a bit afterward. On the way home my brain added up all the stuff we talked about, and suddenly it clicked—Was that the writer of Final Destination?
Since then we’ve become friends and, in the grand tradition of Hollywood, mainly see each other at screenings and conventions. He’s a busy guy, and kinda sorta has that career that many of us indie flick filmmakers dream of—access to the people who make it happen, and big(ger) budgets.

Robert Knepper, best known for portraying the colorful villain T-Bag on Fox’s Prison Break, has joined the cast of NBC’s Heroes. The actor will once again play a baddie on the series’ upcoming fourth season. In at least six episodes of the season, Knepper will play Samuel, a Jim Jones type -- charismatic but evil, with a twisted sense of humor -- who will veer into the lives of all heroes. The character had been referred to as "Carnival Barker" in the series breakdown released last month. Heroes is slated to return in the fall for a Lost-style all-original run in a new time slot at 8 p.m. on Mondays. The sci-fi drama -- which enjoys a strong online following -- will share its time period with another fan favorite, Chuck, which will take over in midseason. Production on the new season is scheduled to begin later this week.

Guitar Hero's highly anticipated spinoff game, DJ Hero, launched in La last night, already boasting quite the celebrity following. Eminem looked a lot more comfortable rapping with Jay-z yesterday than he did at the MTV Movie Awards, though the show's writer admitted that the stunt was all staged and rehearsed. DJ Am showed off his real-life turntable skills for the crowd, which included Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves, Abbie Cornish, and Ryan Phillippe. Despite the news that Pete Wentz's NYC bar is temporarily shutting down for serving minors, he and Ashlee Simpson joined the bash. Kim Kardashian came to hear Eminem's shoutout to her live as they partied the night away months before the game's release this Fall.

Morning and welcome to what looks like a promising summer weekend Boxwishers. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and I suspect there’ll be one or two barbeques up and down the country (don’t you just love the smell of burnt food in the afternoon?) and it could prove a timely distraction for movie lovers as this week’s a bit quiet on the cinema front. There are a number of new releases from beat ‘em up action in 12 Rounds to horror in Drag Me To Hell through to psychological thrills in Obsessed, but there’s just nothing epic in that summer blockbuster mould until Terminator Salvation next Wednesday. But if you burn in the sun, love it when WWE wrestlers have a stab at acting or aren’t one for blockbusters, this could be the week for you…
