18 March 2013 12:21 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As long as there is a property to exploit, Hollywood will keeping trying, and one they've been trying to crack the nut on for years is John Carpenter's "Escape From New York." Len Wiseman, Brett Ratner, Jonathan Mostow, Gerard Butler and Josh Brolin have all been rumored as potential directors and stars, and in 2010 some traction seemed to build around an iteration supposedly approved by Carpenter, with Breck Eisner ("Sahara," "The Crazies") signed on to the flick that Allan Loeb ("The Switch," "The Dilemma") and Jamie Moss ("X-Men: First Class") would write. In 2011, New Line eventually threw in the towel, but someone is now picking up the ball. Mega producer Joel Silver ("The Matrix," "Sherlock Holmes," "Lethal Weapon") is taking his Silver Pictures shingle and teaming up with French powerhouse Studio Canal for a remake.

DVD Review: Here Comes the Boom
11 March 2013 9:19 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Kevin James, Henry Winkler, Salma Hayek, Greg Germann, Joe Rogan, Bas Rutten, Charice | Written by Kevin James, Allan Loeb, Rock Reuben | Directed by Frank Coraci
“Biology teacher Scott Voss (Kevin James) attempts to become a successful mixed-martial arts fighter in an effort to raise money to prevent extra-curricular activities from being axed at his cash-strapped school…”

5 March 2013 11:53 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

ABC pilot orders: Big Thunder Mountain, gothic monsters and Ryan Reynolds
29 January 2013 5:40 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
ABC is making a rather interesting and eclectic choice with Tuesday's (Jan. 29) pilot orders. The picks range from a show based on the Big Thunder Mountain ride in the Disney theme parks to the monsters of gothic novels (like "Frankenstein") come to life. Altogether, four drama pilots were ordered.
A project based on Big Thunder Mountain will be set in a mining town in the 19th century. A brilliant New York City doctor and his family relocate there, where a mysterious tycoon runs the show. All will not be what it seems. Jason Fuchs and Chris Morgan wrote the pilot and will executive produce.
"Gothica" is a supernatural, gothic, soapy drama set in the present day but featuring many of the monsters of the 19th century. Legendary figures like Dracula, Dorian Gray, Frankenstein (not sure if it's the monster or the man), and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde all feature. »
