The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 28th May
18 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Last week saw the release of Alexander Payne’s Oscar-winning The Descendants and Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, and this week brings to our shelves the other big winner at the Academy Awards three months ago, Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, alongside (as ever) a slew of other brilliant films.
In tandem with the Universal 100th Anniversary Editions that have already started rolling out, Play begin releasing their exclusive Blu-ray Steelbooks of some of the films this week, and if you’re a fan of Universal’s recent and classic catalogue, you’ll definitely want to invest in more than a few of these, priced at a very reasonable £9.99. There’ll be more of these in the weeks and months to come, as well as non-100th Anniversary Steelbook re-releases, so keep your eyes peeled.
My personal picks of the week:
Drake Doremus’ Like Crazy & Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene »

It’s another packed week, with plenty of movies waiting to take you money, so let us breakdown the new releases and highlight what you should – and shouldn’t – be buying from today, May 28th 2012.
Pick Of The Week
Chronicle (DVD, Blu-ray)
Chronicle is an unconventional and slightly darker take on the superhero genre where three ordinary teenagers suddenly gain super powers and are able to do things they never imagined possible. Initially they have fun, but their pranks become ever more dangerous and they must face the inevitable question of whether they can handle the responsibility that comes with extraordinary powers.

Mark Kermode's DVD round-up
26 May 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Artist; Martha Marcy May Marlene; Carancho; Chronicle; Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
At a time when eye-straining, ear-bashing, hi-tech 3D movies are being drearily touted as the inevitable "future of cinema", Michel Hazanavicius's The Artist (2011, Entertainment, PG) reminds us that great movies – and great movie-making techniques – are timeless. An affectionate homage to the early days of cinema, this wonderful near-silent black-and-white beauty about a matinee idol threatened by the arrival of sound tips its cine-literate hat towards everything from the swashbuckling romps of Douglas Fairbanks to the pathos of Chaplin and the slapstick of Keaton. Narratively, the film intelligently acknowledges the die-hard templates of Singin' in the Rain and A Star is Born, while an hallucinogenic dream sequence in which our hero is haunted by the spectre of sound would not look out of place in a David Lynch movie. Hazanavicius's best picture Oscar-winner is no mere genre pastiche, »

Mia Wasikowska Makes 'Tracks'; Hilary Swank Goes HBO With 'Mary And Martha'; Rupert Grint Rocks 'Cbgb' & More
24 May 2012 7:26 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Mia Wasikowska has signed on to star in John Curran’s (“The Painted Veil”) new indie “Tracks.” The film will tell the true story of a young woman named Robyn Davidson who traveled 1678 miles through the Australian desert in 1987. It’s an Australian production and will be based on Davidson’s memoirs of the same name, and has already secured distribution down under and in the U.K. (through Momentum Pictures). [Variety]
Hilary Swank will star alongside Brenda Blethyn in the HBO TV movie “Mary and Martha.” The names attached behind the camera are pretty impressive too, with “Salt” director Phillip Noyce set to helm the Richard Curtis (“Love Actually”) penned script. The story will follow two women who emerge from traumatic family tragedy to form a unique bond while fighting for the eradication of malaria. Sounds like pretty heavy stuff, but yet again HBO seems to have lined up the talent to match. »

Guy Pearce Spills New Details on 'Like Crazy' Director's Next Project
23 May 2012 2:51 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Director Drake Doremus' Like Crazy blew me away when I saw it at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Doremus and his actors, Anton Yelchin and breakout star Felicity Jones, utilized a mostly improvisational technique that gave the long-distance romance story an organic feel that packed an emotional punch. Now Doremus plans to use that a similar technique on his next film, an untitled romantic thriller that stars Guy Pearce along with Oscar nominee Amy Ryan (Gone, Baby, Gone) and also Felicity Jones again. Pearce spoke with The Playlist and revealed some new information about what we can expect from this new movie. Pearce called the film "a really tense, tense story about an inappropriate relationship between a young student, an exchange student and a school teacher." Sounds interesting, and Like Crazy has some really uncomfortable, tense moments, so we know that Doremus can handle this kind of material. This is »

DVD Review: Like Crazy
23 May 2012 8:41 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlie Bewley | Written by Drake Doremus, Ben York Jones | Directed by Drake Doremus
Love can be the best feeling; it can also be the worst. It can make you do stupid things all in its name and can force decisions on you that at the time feel so right but yet are so wrong. It controls us and it confirms to us exactly what life is, if anything it’s one of the most important things in our lives and yet something that we can hate so much. Like Crazy is one of those films that show just how destructive love can be when trying to do the right thing.

‘The Host’ Star Boyd Holbrook Replaces Anton Yelchin In ‘Very Good Girls’
23 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Just yesterday, we reported that Demi Moore had joined the cast of Naomi Foner‘s Very Good Girls and now, we’re getting word that Boyd Holbrook will be joining the vet alongside Dakota Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen and Peter Sarsgaard. [THR]
The coming-of-age tale tells the story of “two lifelong best friends both determined to lose their virginity as a rite of passage into the adult world.” Their relationship is then tested when the pair fall in love with the same young artist, to be played by Holbrook. Moore is set to play the role of Olsen‘s mother.
Back in January, we reported that Like Crazy star Anton Yelchin would be playing the young artist role, but this news is providing us with some conflicting reports. There’s no official reason as to why Yelchin dropped out of the drama, but I’m sure it has to do with scheduling »

Demi Moore Joins Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen for ‘Very Good Girls’
22 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
We got word back in January that Dakota Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, Anton Yelchin along with Peter Sarsgaard were set to star in Naomi Foner‘s upcoming project, and now Deadline reports that Demi Moore has joined the cast of Very Good Girls.
Fanning and Olsen are set to play “lifelong best friends in the summer after their high school graduation, both determined to lose their virginity as a rite of passage into the adult world.” As a twist of faith, both girls fall in love with the same boy — lucky Yelchin – and their relationship is tested. As you may have guessed by the age difference, Moore will be playing the role of Olsen‘s mother.
It’s pretty obvious by the synopsis that Moore will only be playing a supporting role to both Fanning and Olsen, which is something I’m completely fine with. Not to say that she’s »

'Battleship,' 'The Dictator,' And More: Double Feature Friday
18 May 2012 6:50 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
In honor of two separate Brooklyn Decker films hitting theaters this weekend, we have recommended only movies that don't feature Brooklyn Decker, so sorry fans of "Just Go With It."
Check out this week's Double Feature Friday!
"Battleship" & "Friday Night Lights"
There was a time, not so long ago, when Peter Berg, instead of directing films "From the Makers of Transformers," could make a movie like this adaptation of the book by Buzz Bissinger. In the years since it's release, against all odds, the TV series that spun off from "Friday Night Lights" eclipsed the original thanks to delightful turns by Kyle Chandler and "Battleship" star Taylor Kitsch. The 2004 starring Billy Bob Thornton and the future Mrs. Taylor, Connie Britton, delivers on all the same honest notes that made the series such a wonderful show but does so in a slightly darker shade of Panther blue. Then again, if you just want a Kitsch fix, »

Leonard Nimoy Insists Spock Prime Isn't in Star Trek 2
12 May 2012 11:36 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Director J.J. Abrams has tried to remain as tight lipped about his upcoming sequel Star Trek 2 as is possible in this age of instant information. And he's succeeded for the most part. A couple of minor plot details have spilled forward, and Zachary Quinto's private team of paparazzi have done a fine job of offering up on set pics of Spock. But one aspect of the film seems to be caught in a constant wave of lies, and that is the presence of Spock Prime, played by the legendary Leonard Nimoy.
First, J.J. Abrams made it clear that none of the original 1966 Star Trek cast would be making an appearance in this follow-up to his smash hit 2009 reboot. Then Leonard Nimoy turned around and said he was in talks to make an appearance. Shortly there after, a source close to the set confirmed Nimoy's presence on set as Spock Prime, »

Star Trek 2 Behind-the-Scenes Photo with Alice Eve
11 May 2012 5:34 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Director J.J. Abrams recently wrapped shooting on his upcoming sequel Star Trek 2, and with that comes a new behind-the-scenes photo of Zachary Quinto as Spock, seen here in a new Starfleet uniform. But more importantly, this image, taken near an on-set catering truck, offers our first peek at Alice Eve in costume. We do not yet know whom she is playing, and this particular black and white snapshot has hardcore fans confused. Some speculate that she is new to the Star Trek universe, but her jumpsuit indicates that she is a member of Starfleet. Check it out for yourself, and ponder who she could be playing...
Star Trek 2 comes to theaters May 17th, 2013 and stars Zoe Saldana, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, John Cho. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams. »

New Smurfs 2 Logo, Smurfs 3 in Development
10 May 2012 7:26 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
After Sony's The Smurfs grossed a grand total of $563 million at the global box office last year, they waited a grand total of 12 days before green lighting a sequel. The studio has released an official logo (above) for the sequel, titled The Smurfs 2, but there was another surprising Smurf-related development today. Apparently, Sony has enough confidence in their sequel writers Karey Kirkpatrick and Chris Poche, that they're now giving the go-ahead on The Smurfs 3. Given that the production of The Smurfs 2 is already underway with much of the original cast returning (plus a few new faces), things must be coming along quite nicely. Raja Gosnell, who helmed the first Smurfs film, returns as director for the sequel which also stars Sofia Vergara, Jonathan Winters, Alan Cumming, Fred Armisen, George Lopez, Anton Yelchin and John Oliver. The Smurfs 2 is set for release on July 31st, 2013. Hit the jump »

The Smurfs 3 in Development

Two weeks ago, we reported that Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation commenced production on The Smurfs 2, which is set for release July 31, 2013. Today, Columbia Pictures has hired writers Karey Kirkpatrick and Chris Poche (Over The Hedge) to begin working on the script for The Smurfs 3.
Jordan Kerner, who produced The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2, is on board for the new sequel. It isn't known yet if Raja Gosnell will return to direct the third installment.

It is too early to tell if they will all reprise their roles for The Smurfs 3.

Dean Koontz Talks Odd Thomas Movie; It’s Good News
9 May 2012 9:23 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
If you’re a fan of the Dean Koontz series, Odd Thomas, then you may know that the first book, aptly named Odd Thomas, has been made into a movie by director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) and is currently in post-production. If you haven’t read the books, here’s the gist of things:
“The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Odd Thomas thinks of himself as an ordinary guy, if possessed of a certain measure of talent at the Pico Mundo Grill and rapturously in love with the most beautiful girl in the world, Stormy Llewellyn. Maybe he has a gift, maybe it’s a curse, Odd has never been sure, but he tries to do his best by the »
