‘The Proposal’ Director Anne Fletcher Helming Seth Meyers-Scripted ‘Alone for the Holidays’

17 April 2012 6:43 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

It’s taken, oh, about a century for the true rise of women directors to take hold, and it’s not about to stop. Deadline reports that choreographer-turned-director Anne Fletcher (The Proposal, Step Up) is set to direct Alone for the Holidays, based on an original script by SNL head writer Seth Meyers for Fox 2000.

There are no plot or casting details just yet, but word is the script is set in New York, with production to begin this fall for a release around the 2013 holiday season. Real Steel director Shawn Levy‘s 21 Laps Entertainment will produce, along with Michael Stipe and Sandy Stern’s Single Cell Pictures, and James Franco’s Rabbit Bandini Productions. Fletcher‘s The Proposal, which starred Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, was a surprise hit, grossing over $160 million domestically on a $40 million budget… and it wasn’t half bad. She’s definitely in a position to call her own shots, »

Director Anne Fletcher to Helm ‘Alone For The Holidays,’ With a Script from Seth Meyers

17 April 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

After the smashing success of The Proposal, director Anne Fletcher has kept a bit of a low profile, somewhat surprisingly not capitalizing on her giant hit to dive right into yet another romantic comedy with an all-star cast. Now it looks like the helmer is zigging a bit and signing on for a different kind of film – an original Christmas comedy penned by the very funny Seth Meyers, currently the head writer at Saturday Night Live. The film is titled Alone For The Holidays and is already aiming for a holiday release in 2013, so feel to mark this one down as counter-programming for whatever familial insanity goes down in your house come December. Deadline Rochester reports, amusingly enough, that the studio is “keeping plot specific[s] under wraps,” though I’d think that we can probably well guess from its title alone that it will center on someone who is, gasp, alone »

Seth Meyers' Alone For The Holidays Hires Director Anne Fletcher

17 April 2012 2:05 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Comedian Seth Meyers has been one of Saturday Night Live's head writers since 2005. And like many of the sketch crafters who've come before him, the Weekend Update anchorman has been angling to make the leap to screenwriter. While there's been little development on his announced sex comedy Key Party, Deadline reports another Meyers-penned script has come one step closer to production by securing savvy comedy director Anne Fletcher. Penned for Fox 2000, the original comedy titled Alone For The Holidays, is expected to go into production this fall with aims to open in the thick of yuletide 2013. Unfortunately plot details are being closely guarded at this point. All we know is that Meyers' funny flick is set in New York City during Christmas time. Of course, Fletcher is best known for helming such wildly successful rom-coms as 27 Dresses, which established Katherine Heigl as a chick flick figure (for better or »

Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps Entertainment is producing, in with Michael Stipe and Sandy Stern’s Single Cell Pictures and James Franco’s Rabbit Bandini Productions.

Fletcher just wrapped the Barbra Streisand-Seth Rogen comedy The Guilt Trip for Paramount and Skydance. That film will be released November 2. Fletcher’s repped by UTA, Meyers by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners. »

105 movie sequels currently in the works

15 March 2012 2:59 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Hollywood loves its sequels, and we’ve got the proof here. Meet the 105 sequels at various stages of production, and a further 17 that seem to have died.

It’s been nearly five years since we started doing our annual round-ups of the current movie sequels that are in the works, and this year marks the longest list of all. Furthermore, what the 105 we've rounded up here doesn’t include are the projects that we suspect might have been lost to development hell, which we’ve detailed down at the bottom. Hollywood does love its follow-ups.

The projects that we do talk about here each have some chance of happening, and we’ve done a release date cut off of films due after October 2012 at the earliest. Thus, this summer’s collection of sequels – including The Dark Knight Rises, Madagascar 3, Ice Age 4, G.I. Joe 2, The Expendables 2, American Pie: The Reunion, »

Seth Rogen/Barbra Streisand Comedy Retitled 'The Guilt Trip,' While 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D' & 'Safety Not Guaranteed' Get Release Dates

28 February 2012 9:43 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Seth Rogen is a fairly unlikely movie star all in all, but a fully flung movie star he is, and one who's gone from being the wacky scene-stealing sidekick to a bona-fide Hollywood insider, as demonstrated by his hosting role at the Spirit Awards over the weekend (and delivering a great monologue as well). He's also made smart choices: producing and co-starring in comedy-drama "50/50," moving into more serious fare with "Take This Waltz" and keeping busy with regular animation voice work alongside his more traditional starring roles.

But later this year, he'll star in a film that has the potential to be his biggest mainstream hit yet: a comedy in which he features opposite the legendary Barbra Streisand, about a mother and son on a road trip together. Directed by Anne Fletcher ("The Proposal"), and penned by Dan Fogelman ("Crazy Stupid Love"), it shows every prospect of being the first »
