WB Slides ‘Argo’ Into ‘Gangster Squad’ Spot; New Comedy From ‘The Hangover’ Scribes Hitting On March 2013

10 April 2012 7:35 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Warner Bros. have done some shuffling for a pair of promising adult dramas bowing in the fall. Originally set to hit theaters on September 14th, they’ve moved Ben Affleck‘s hostage thriller Argo to October 12th. That was the date Ruben Fleischer‘s crime drama The Gangster Squad was set to unspool, but instead they’ve pulled it from the spot and will reschedule for later this year. [Variety]

It doesn’t mean much for Argo, only that this will closely follow the release pattern of Affleck’s debut Gone Baby Gone. As for Gangster Squad, this could be promising for the film starring Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Michael Peña, Robert Patrick, Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte and Giovanni Ribisi. WB could be more confident in the film and give it a prime Oscar run slot in December or November.

5 Questions With 'Footloose' and 'Project X' Actor Miles Teller

6 March 2012 11:52 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Miles Teller should be dancing right about now. With "Footloose" hitting shelves on DVD and Blu-ray today and "Project X" raking it in at the box office this past weekend, he has totally earned the right to kick off his Sunday shoes or whatever.

The 25-year-old plays Willard in last year's remake of the hit '80s film, a role he knew long before director Craig Brewer took the helm. And Teller had no concerns about doing a remake of a beloved movie. In fact, even though he played Willard in his first play ever – in high school – he still has never seen the Kevin Bacon flick.

He offered a few other amusing confessions when we checked in on his big week.

We know you had played Willard before – are you hoping to do more dancing in movies?

[John] Travolta finds a way to dance in a lot of his movies. »

New images from ‘Detention of the Dead’

12 February 2012 5:13 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »

Here’s a handful of new images from Alex Craig Mann’s horror comedy Detention of The Dead which stars Jacob Zachar, Alexa Nikolas, Christa B. Allen, Jayson Blair, Justin Chon, and Max Adler and is described as The Breakfast Club meets Shaun of the Dead (aren’t they all?) – and from what we’ve seen so far that description could well be on the money.

Comedy and horror unite in this “The Breakfast Club” meets “Shaun of the Dead” tale about a group of oddball high school students who find themselves trapped in detention with their classmates having turned into a horde of zombies. Can they put their differences aside and work together to survive the night? Fat chance! This is high school after all.
