Review: Salvation or extermination? It's judgment day for the new Terminator
19 June 2009 11:35 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news
The challenge with any prequel is slotting it into the world already set up by the previous movies: Do you create a whole new reality like Star Trek has done, or do you try to match existing continuity like X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
Although it's not without its flaws, Terminator Salvation opts for the latter and delivers an explosive, power-packed spectacle that fits neatly into the franchise. But can it safely utter the immortal words: 'I'll be back'?
As well as obvious homages such as a much-publicised appearance by Arnold Scharzenegger and the use of Linda Hamilton's voice on a tape recording, there are numerous other nods and winks to the previous movies.
While Christian Bale gives a reasonable but largely unmemorable performance as resistance leader John Connor, rising star Sam Worthington has a far more powerful presence as Marcus Wright, a death-row prisoner who donates his body to science

Gadget of the week: Sony Vaio Vgn-UX1XN from Terminator Salvation
18 June 2009 2:51 AM, PDT | From Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news
It’s good to know that despite the nuclear apocalypse of Judgement Day, some of our human luxuries have survived in the grim future depicted in Terminator Salvation. Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) and Kate Connor (Bryce Dallas Howard) have their Belstaff jackets, John Connor (Christian Bale) has his Oakley S.I. Assault boots and his Sherpa bomber jacket and there’s also a nifty gadget that we’ve spotted amid the machine-killing chaos – the Sony Vaio Vgn-UX1 as used by Connor to communicate with Marcus in the build-up to the movie’s action-packed climax.
Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs) are very much at the sharp end of modern technology and so they make a neat fit into the futuristic Terminator world of 2018. This one, the Sony Vaio Vgn-UX1XN marks Sony’s latest development in this burgeoning area and is a fantastic choice. At just 150×95 x 35mm

2009 Teen Choice Awards Nominees List in Movie
15 June 2009 7:55 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

Ron Howard Directing Stretch Armstrong Movie?
13 June 2009 3:52 PM, PDT | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news
BusinessWeek published an article Friday titled “With Transformers, Hasbro Morphs Its Toy-Movie Model” about the toy giant’s brand expanding onto the big screen. It scratches the surface of Hasbro’s six-year partnership with Universal to adapt several game properties into movies, but it also mentions a small tidbit we’ve never seen before.
The business magazine claims Ron Howard is directing the new Stretch Armstrong movie slated for April 2011. It includes the news briefly and without further details, so we don’t know much more than that. This fits with the announcement earlier this month of producer Brian Grazer (Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind) coming on board, who has a close working relationship with Howard. When I say close, I mean they’ve made over 15 movies together, and they co-founded the production company Imagine Entertainment.
Overall, the idea of Howard directing sounds outrageous, but no more ridiculous than making

Snag This: Stagedoor
10 June 2009 2:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Did the kids who just won Tony Awards for Billy Elliott on Broadway ever have to endure this kind of criticism from a director? "Stop, stop, stop! It's 'toward.' Who is singing 'towards'? ... If you put an 's' on it, it makes it cheap, it makes it sound like you're from Long Island. Nothing against Long Islands ..." Thus begins Stagedoor, a documentary about a summer camp with superstar alumni such as Robert Downey, Jr., Natalie Portman, Mandy Moore, Bryce Howard, Zach Braff, Amy Ryan, Jon Cryer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Felicity Huffman, and director Shawn Levy. Our friends at SnagFilms have made the film available for free online viewing.

Bryce Dallas Howard Takes Up Screenwriting
10 June 2009 1:32 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
It looks like a huge Howard family affair could be brewing, where daughter Bryce Dallas Howard pens a feature for dad director Ron Howard. The Hollywood Reporter posts that the actress wrote a script with Dane Charbeneau called The Originals, a drama that would be a potential helming gig for Ron, and one that boasts a scent that's a bit similar to The Big Chill.
Originals is an ensemble project that follows "a group of twentysomethings who reconvene for a weekend in New York after learning that the teacher who shaped their childhoods has fallen into a mysterious coma." So, not as finite (at least in summary) as Chill, which is good. However, the most notable parts of this production are behind the scenes. As if the daughter/dad team wasn't enough, Charbeneau starting dating Bryce's sister while they worked on this script, and the pair are now engaged. Now we just need Rance,

Bryce Dallas Howard Turns Screenwriter

I think there is still a lot more to be seen from Bryce Dallas Howard, the daughter of director Ron Howard, and the completely ignored co-star of Terminator Salvation. Howard has already started showing a different side of herself as The Hollywood Reporter reveals she co-wrote a new script titled The Originals with Dane Charbeneau and Universal and Imagine Entertainment have already stepped in to pick it up as a potential feature for Ron Howard to direct. The script is described as an ensemble feature about a group of twentysomethings who reconvene for a weekend in New York after learning the teacher who shaped their childhoods has fallen into a mysterious coma. Apparently Dallas Howard came up with the idea over the past couple of years looking at it as a way of tackling the quarter-life crisis issues her contemporaries were dealing with.

After carrying John Connor's baby in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, it looks like Bryce Dallas Howard has turned to the pen. Working with writing partner Dane Charbeneau, the duo have cranked out a script for The Originals. Now, I don't know if we can call this much of a surprise, but Universal Picturesand Imagine Entertainment -- cough, Ron Howard -- have acquired the script for production.

Bryce Dallas Howard Penning ‘The Originals,’ Father Ron Possibly Directing
9 June 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
Looking back at the original run of “Happy Days,” it was far from obvious that Ron Howard was going to end up being one of the more prolific filmmakers of our time. Now it appears that his very own daughter is trying to pull off a similar sucker punch in her career. How very “Original” of her.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal and Imagine have picked up the rights for “The Originals,” a drama written by Bryce Dallas Howard and Dane Charbeneau. Imagine will produce the project, and the senior Howard is expected to have some involvement as well.
“The Originals” focuses on a group of men and women in their twenties who are reunited for a weekend in New York after learning that their influential childhood teacher has fallen into a mysterious coma.

Bryce Dallas Howard's Script Picked up by Universal and Imagine
9 June 2009 3:55 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news
The Hollywood Reporter says that Universal and Imagine have obtained the rights to The Originals, a new script from Bryce Dallas Howard, best-known for her roles in Terminator Salvation, Spider-Man 3, and The Village. Howard wrote the screenplay along with Dane Charbeneau and the movie may serve as a directing vehicle for her father, Ron Howard, although there's no official word on that.
The younger Howard came up with the idea for the script a few years ago in an attempt to tackle issues and anxieties germane to today's younger generation. The Originals tells the story of a group of twenty-somethings who grew up together and reunite in New York after they find out a beloved teacher has fallen into a coma.
The script is still in development, and no directors, cast members, or release dates have been announced.

Bryce Dallas Howard Sells First Script, Ron Howard Might Direct
9 June 2009 3:17 AM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news
It will come as no surprise that Bryce Dallas Howard's first project as a screenwriter will be produced by Ron Howard's Imagine entertainment set-up. To give her the benefit of the doubt, let's just assume anybody would have snapped the screenplay right up, its just that Dad and company were obviously always going to be given first refusal. The Hollywood Reporter describe the film The Originals as "an ensemble film about a group of twenty somethings", so perhaps Bryce even wrote herself a role. I mean - why not? In her shoes, I think I would. Details on the creepy-sounding premise after the break. According to the report, the 20 something characters at the heart of the story have been separated since their youth, where they were linked by one teacher who "shaped their childhoods". When this teacher falls into a "mysterious" coma, the group reconvene for a weekend

For a while, Bryce Dallas Howard wanted to distance herself from her famous dad, Ron Howard, while she made her own career (in college she applied as "Bryce Dallas" and no one knew who she was). Now that she's got her own career, she's thinking she might even want to work with her old man. Universal Pictures and Imagine (her pop's production company with Brian Grazer) have picked up the rights to The Originals, a script that Howard wrote while filming Terminator Salvation. The...

Bryce Dallas Howard's Dad Picks Up Her Originals

Yo, dad! Wanna direct the movie I wrote? Oh, just about some twentysomethings that find out this kickin' teacher they had in high school is in a coma so they all start chillin' again... What's that, dad? I know your name is Ron Howard. Duh! You will? Sw33t! Lol. Maybe I took a few liberties with that exchange, but the gist of it is true. It seems as though Bryce Dallas Howard has written a movie with her writing partner/brother-in-law, Dane Charbeneau titled The Originals. The movie sounds much like what a sequel to Dead Poets Society would sound like, with a group of friends in their mid-twenties coming together after hearing that an inspirational childhood teacher of theirs has fallen into a mysterious coma. According to THR, the script has been picked up by Imagine, Ron Howard's production company. Apparently Charbeneau gave the script to Bryce's dad,
