Romeo And Juliet Reimagining Rosaline Moves To Universal
7 hours ago
Rosaline is a revisionist take on Shakespeare.s classic Romeo & Juliet, a comedic version that has us excited because of the creative team behind it. The fact that it.s moving from one major studio to another has me a bit concerned, though I.m waiting to see if the move is for the better, or if it will cause a delay. THR reports that Rosaline is negotiating a move from Fox to Universal, where Shawn Levy will produce the project under his 21 Laps shingle. Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber are handling screenwriting duties, and they're why I'm excited: Neustadter and Weber also penned the indie romantic comedy 500 Days (of Summer) with Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as well as the Sundance hit The Spectacular Now. The project is being described as a Wicked version of Shakespeare's most famous play, told through the viewpoint of a secondary character . Rosaline. »
Watch Mark Ruffalo And Melanie Laurent Perform Some Magic On The Set Of Now You See Me
8 hours ago
I have to imagine that one of the cooler things about being an actor is that you get the opportunity to learn all kinds of cool skills and abilities. It's hard work, but if you want to star in an action movie then you need to get it super good shape and learn acrobatics and how to fight - not to mention possibly swing a sword or drive a stunt car. So for the cast of Now You See Me I have to imagine that one of the perks is learning how to do a magic trick or two. In addition to the new clip from the film that you can watch above, featuring a magical fight sequence between Dave Franco and Mark Ruffalo, Summit Entertainment has released three new videos on their YouTube page that show some of the actors in the excellent ensemble giving performances of stuff they »
Director Todd Phillips And Writer Craig Mazin Talk Alan's Journey In The Hangover Part III
9 hours ago
When the Hangover franchise is looked at as a whole, it.s interesting to view the entire storyline as being focused on Zach Galifianakis. Alan. In the first movie he is brought out of his shell and winds up having the best night of his life with Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha), some of the few people in the world who he can call friend. The sequel is then Alan.s desperate attempt to reach out again and try to recreate the bonding magic of the Wolfpack.s first night together . though it winds up being a disaster if gauged by the anger it induces in his friends. So at the beginning of Part III we find Alan as a broken, lonely, sociopathic, off-his-meds rich kid with zero discipline. It.s not hard to see why co-writer Craig Mazin and co-writer and director Todd Phillips »
Daryl Hannah, Kirsten Prout And Chloe Bridges Set To Star In Social Media Drama Offline
9 hours ago
Everyone knows that the time restraints involved with filmmaking don.t allow for truly topical subjects to be depicted at the height of their popularity. Cheaper TV movies are better at doing that sort of thing. But while the upcoming independent feature Offline centers on subject matter that isn.t necessarily on the forefront of everyone.s minds, it will put a narrative spin on it, and could end up being relevant itself for quite a number of years. The film will highlight one of the downsides of social media, and Variety reports its cast will include Chloe Bridges (The Carrie Diaries), Kirsten Prout (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), and Daryl Hannah, who hasn.t really made a movie worth mentioning since Tarantino.s Kill Bill Vol. 2 in 2004. The story centers on a top student (Prout) who sees her life get turned upside down when inappropriate photographs of her start appearing »

The School For Good And Evil Placed On Universal's Lesson Plan
10 hours ago
While he probably won.t be remembered for his lackluster directorial efforts like Freedomland and America.s Sweethearts, Joe Roth is quite adept at producing, and his decades-long career has been heating up over the last few thanks to some major box office earners. Oddly enough, he seems to be most successful when working with fantastical fairy tale stories, which he did with Tim Burton.s Alice in Wonderland, Sam Raimi.s Oz: The Great and Powerful and Rupert Sanders. Snow White and the Huntsman. And now he's ready to do it again. Deadline reports Universal Pictures have won a hard-fought auction for rights to the young adult novel The School for Good and Evil, and that Roth has teamed up with the studio and Jane Starz Production to get the movie made.

Spike Lee's Oldboy Gets Pushed Back
10 hours ago
We're not really sure what to expect from Spike Lee's adaptation of the Manga Oldboy, but we now know we'll have to wait even longer to finally see it. The thriller's domestic distributor FilmDistrict has bumped back its release date by two weeks, moving the feature from October 11th to October 25th. Formerly, Oldboy was set to face off against the Tom Hanks-fronted biopic Captain Phillips, the horror pic Haunts and the recently moved Wikileaks docudrama The Fifth Estate. But the 25th is presently far less crowded, with the only other film slated to open being season-regular Paranormal Activity 5. Hopefully this newly minted release date will be followed by an actual look at the film. So far, we've only gotten seen a teaser poster that leaves a lot to the imagination. Sure, having seen the widely praised Park Chan-wook version, we know the plot: a man is mysteriously abducted, »
Rosamund Pike And Nick Nolte To Star In Psychological Thriller Return To Sender
11 hours ago
You.d think people in movies would know better than to go out on blind dates nowadays, but they just keep on doing it. Do they ever work out? Comedies use them for wacky character fodder and dramas use them to create tension between strangers. And thrillers, of course, use them to put one of their characters in mortal danger. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rosamund Pike will be playing a small town damsel in distress in that scenario starring in Return to Sender, the upcoming psychological thriller directed by Fouad Mikati (Operation:Endgame). The film will also star Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead) and Nick Nolte (Gangster Squad).

Sex, Explosions, And Chris Hemsworth Featured In New Rush Trailer
12 hours ago
"There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves: death is something that happens to other people." This is the rationale that allows Formula 1 racers to crawl into cars that travel at impossible speeds on treacherous tracks explained by driver James Hunt in the latest trailer for Ron Howard's Rush. The sport drama based on a true story centers on the famous rivalry between Hunt and Niki Lauda, a rivalry that not only spurred them on to more and more risky maneuvers, but also saved one of them after a horrific and fiery crash. The Avengers' Chris Hemsworth stars as Hunt, an English driver known as well for his reputation with the ladies as for his skill on the track. Daniel Brühl, who memorably played the loathsome Frederick Zoller in Inglourious Basterds, plays the disciplined Austrian racer Lauda. And even in the brief trailer above you can get a »
World War Z Debuts A New Poster And Six New Images
12 hours ago
As you can probably tell by the title, World War Z isn't a zombie movie that's limited to the size of a shopping mall. Instead, the film is a globe-spanning epic, following Brad Pitt's character Gerry Lane, a United Nations employee, from country to country as he tries to discover a cure for the horrific outbreak. And I can imagine that throughout the film he has many opportunities to take off in some sort of aircraft and look back down at the destruction on the ground - as seen in this brand new poster. But that's not all. Not only has Paramount sent out the new one-sheet that you see above, they have also issued six brand new stills from the movie. Most of the images feature Pitt in some sort of growing panic, but there are also some pretty cool action shots and you can see a glimpses »
X-Men: Days Of Future Past Adds Evan Peters As Quicksilver
13 hours ago
Either something incredible or something terrible is brewing in the world of comic book movies. As he has been doing for the last few months, director Bryan Singer has taken to his Twitter feed to make a major announcement, this time revealing that Evan Peters of American Horror Story is a late addition to the cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past. But while that in and of itself isn't very shocking news, it's the character he will be playing that makes this whole situation a head-scratcher. According to the director, Peters will be playing the role of Quicksilver, one of the two new superheroes that Joss Whedon has been promising for Marvel Studios' The Avengers 2. As we've previously written about, Quicksilver and his comic book sister Scarlet Witch exist in a strange area from a rights perspective. Both of them are known for being members of The Avengers, »
Monsters University Clip Has Mike And Sully Scuffling For Space
13 hours ago
Mike and Sully, the characters voiced by Billy Crystal and John Goodman, were the best of friends when they were first introduced to us in Pixar's Monsters Inc., but as the previews for Monsters University have shown us, that wasn't always the case. In fact, when the two first met in college they became bitter rivals. And that rivalry is on full display in this new clip, which comes to us courtesy of Yahoo! This scene is actually a wonderful representation of why Monsters University is an example of Pixar returning to form, as I noted after seeing an early cut of the film last month. Mike talking in his sleep about a princess and a stable boy is great referential humor, reconnecting Crystal with the universally-beloved Princess Bride, and the commotion in the scene, from the two monsters fighting for space to Mike knocking the fur out of the »

Netflix Won't Be Making Original Movies Anytime Soon
17 hours ago
Much of the positive buzz Netflix has generated lately has to do with their original programming, which falls more into the TV side of the entertainment business. House of Cards was positively received, while the reviews were a bit more mixed for Hemlock Grove. And this Sunday, Arrested Development will return for its long-awaited/hoped-for fourth season, thanks to Netflix's delve into original programming and their willingness to back the series' revival. The subscription-based service's interest in original programming causes many to wonder if it's just a matter of time before Netflix begins making movies. From what Netflix's Ted Sarandos told THR in a recent interview, on the feature side, it actually sounds like the service is content to focus on distribution. There are some parts of it that are really appealing in that you tend to get a lot of the same fundamental benefits of original programming »
The Hangover Part III: A Gif Review
17 hours ago
When your job is to take notice of every bit of advertising a studio lays out for their tent pole releases, you run the risk of being exhausted by a movie long before it's ever come out. This has been the case for much of the Cinema Blend staff when it comes to The Hangover: Part III. Sure, we loved the first one for its zany mystery of what happened one blacked out crazy night in Vegas. But the beat-for-beat retread that was The Hangover: Part II hurt overall enthusiasm for the franchise. Still, I was optimistic that the third and final installment of this raunchy boys-will-be-boys series might turn it around by finding a fresh way to make the Wolf Pack unpredictable and hilarious once more. After all, I enjoy the leads, and this adventure.as I'd seen in the many, many trailers.boasts appearances from both the wonderfully »

22 hours ago
2013 is the year of such films like Joseph Kosinski.s Oblivion, Sebastián Cordero.s Europa Report and Alfonso Cuarón.s Gravity, which proves that space travel is back to hovering around the forefront of the American psyche. (And that.s not even bringing up J.J Abrams projects.) Science and space funding will take a big hit next year, so it.s a good time to appreciate Nasa for the amazement they.ve instilled in us over the years. With that out of the way, now we can talk about the people behind the scenes that allowed parts of that amazement to exist. Deadline reports Warner Bros. tapped U.K. transplant Richard Cordiner to write a screenplay based on Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo, written by Nicholas de Monchaux, which tracks the unlikely source for the spacesuits of the Apollo program. Spacesuit tells the unique true story of how a »
