New Study Shows E.T. Has Many Homes

9 July 2009 5:27 AM, PDT | From SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news

A new study called, get ready Nerds, “A thermodynamic basis for prebiotic amino acid synthesis and the nature of the first genetic code,” compiled by Ralph Pudritz and Paul Higgs at McMaster University in Canada is claiming that life in the Universe may be inevitable where there are the basic chemical building blocks and that the code for life, D.N.A. is built into the very basic physical laws of the universe. I wrote that sentence before coffee! Life is built on 20 amino acids and the most basic first 10 are all that is required for basic pre-biotic life. The first 10 seem easy to cook. The laws of thermodynamics seem to apply to the formation of these amino acids and therefore life. If life is a natural evolvement from simple to complex states given the right chemistry (now found to be even more common) and based on the universal law of thermodynamics

See the Brothers Trailer with Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman

6 July 2009 1:50 PM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news

Entertainment Tonight has debuted the first trailer for Brothers starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman which you can check out below. In the upcoming Lionsgate drama, Tobey and Jake play siblings Sam and Tommy. When Sam's chopper is shot down in the mountains of Afghanistan and he's believed to be dead, Tommy turns over a new leaf by taking responsibility for Sam's wife, Grace (Portman), and children -- leading to an unexpected attraction. Later, Sam returns home after being captured and tortured by Taliban fighters, shifting the family dynamic into super uncomfortable territory. Despite the deep talent assembled for Brothers I feel like I just watched an entire Lifetime or We movie from the trailer. What do you think? Best acting nod for a psycho-looking Tobey Maguire or destined for a TV movie of the week?Look for Brothers in theaters this December.

Michael Jackson's Life & Legacy: Global Superstar (1982-86)

6 July 2009 4:51 AM, PDT | From MTV Music News | See recent MTV Music News news

Part 3 of 5: Thriller and the Victory Tour make Jackson the biggest star in the world.

By Shaheem Reid

It may be the most profitably spent quarter of a year in music history: Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones holed up in the studio and cranked out Thriller, the biggest-selling album of original material of all time, in less than three months.

"In three months, we had to deliver Thriller and the 'E.T.' songbook and storybook [Jackson's now-rare narration of the film]," Quincy Jones told MTV in December of 1984. "Yes: three months, two LPs, and that's what we did. It's probably the best thing that ever happened, because otherwise we'd start to think about [it too much] and getting paralysis from analysis and that sorta thing. But we didn't have time to think. We had a great motivator and incentive, which was just fear of making this deadline.

Harrison Ford Set for Indiana Jones 5? 2011 Release Date Planned?

6 July 2009 12:56 AM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news

Is development on a fifth Indiana Jones film further along than we think? CBS's The Insider claims that Harrison Ford is set to return as Indy for another adventure, which won't "start until next year, and it will not be released before 2011, when the star will be 69." Lets keep in mind, The Insider isn't exactly the best source for information. They're one of those gossipy television show like Entertainment Tonight. Their Internet website cites unnamed sources for the information. And aside from the tentative shoot and release dates, what does the source say? "Harrison has kept himself in good shape and could still do a lot of the stunts in the last film." Back in mid June, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star Shia Labeouf told the BBC that Steven Spielberg had "cracked a story on [Indiana Jones 5] before I left and I think they're gearing ...

Trailer for Jim Sheridan’s Brothers

3 July 2009 10:34 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

Entertainment Tonight has debuted the first trailer for the Jim Sheridan-directed war drama Brothers. I usually avoid posting Et trailers, but this one surprisingly doesn’t have any of that annoying voice over. The film stars Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Ray Prewitt, Sam Shepard and Clifton Collins Jr. and hits theaters in the height of award season on December 4. A remake of the 2004 Danish film Brødre, Sheridan’s Brothers follows a young man who comforts his older brother's wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan.

Trailers for Sheridan's 'Brothers' and Almodovar's 'Broken Embraces'

3 July 2009 4:47 PM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

I will never understand why movie studios allow for their trailers to debut on "Entertainment Tonight" with that shoddy logo slathered on the video and an ugly bootlegged version of it showing up online, but that's what we have here when it comes to our first look at Jim Sheridan's Brothers, which stars Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman and is set to be released by Lionsgate on December 4. The film was expected to be a potential Oscar contender last year, but didn't make it to theaters and will, instead, make an awards season run this year. The film is a remake of Susan Bier's Danish-language war drama centering on a man (Maguire) who is sent to fight in Afghanistan while his black-sheep brother (Gyllenhaal) cares for his wife and child. Check out that trailer below and stay tuned as I will add an official version to the site once it becomes available.

Officially Cool: Flickchart Will Ruin Your Life and You Will Love It

30 June 2009 11:57 AM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news

Since I got inexplicably kicked out as President of the Jeff Goldblum fan club last week, I needed to find a new obsession. Luckily, the folks over at Flickchart were happy to oblige. Now, I can head over there for hours at a time, have their engine pop out two movies, and be forced to choose which one I like best. It's kind of like the Hot or Not for film buffs. Except it's brutal in making you choose, and ranks all of your choices as they come in - giving you a Top 20 of all time that's publicly viewable. Their website is achingly simple, which is probably what makes it so effective. Two movies are displayed. You choose which one you like better. For movie fans, it is a must. I can't stress enough how much your inner movie-geek will love this damned website. So why will it ruin your life? Because

The Last Airbender Trailer in HD

26 June 2009 8:45 PM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news

We can now toss out that grainy Entertainment Tonight version of M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender teaser trailer with the release of a nice clear high definition substitute. The Last Airbender, based on the Avatar animated series, stars Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel, Jackson Rathbone, Shaun Toub, Aasif Mandvi, and Cliff Curtis. Air, Water, Earth, Fire.

Johnny Depp as the next Riddler

26 June 2009 5:01 PM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news

Johnny Depp is known for his quirky roles on screen and has been a popular suggestion online to play the Riddler in a future Batman film.

Fabricated tabloid reports last year claimed he was already officially cast as the archvillain and he recently told MTV he would consider the role if it was offered to him.

The 46-year-old, who stars with Batman actor Christian Bale in next month's crime drama Public Enemies, told Entertainment Tonight: "I've been asked about it here and there - I'd love to do another film with Christian [Bale] in any capacity, whether it's a Batman thing or whatever it is. I certainly loved the series."

Depp - pictured here as the Riddler in a quick Photoshop image manipulation - would certainly seem to suit the role of the eccentric supervillain, having played similarly bizarre and idiosyncratic characters such as Captain Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd.

Why Did Michael Jackson Die?

26 June 2009 8:52 AM, PDT | From Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news

The Los Angeles County Coroner/Medical Examiner is expected to disclose preliminary autopsy findings this afternoon (Friday) concerning the cause of death Thursday of Michael Jackson. The singer’s passing -- which made headlines throughout the world -- came as he was preparing a series of comeback concerts in the U.K. under the banner “This Is It!” Word that paramedics had been called to Jackson’s home in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles where he was reportedly in full cardiac arrest was first flashed to the world via the Los Angeles Times website. By the end of the day, virtually every major Internet news outlet throughout the world was being swamped by people wanting to learn about the circumstances surrounding his death. They found little. The TMZ website posted video apparently taken by someone aboard a tour bus of a Los Angeles Fire Department emergency vehicle parked in front of Jackson’s home. Entertainment Tonight had a photo of Jackson as he arrived unconscious at UCLA Medical Center.

Brian Oxman, a spokesman for the Jackson family, disclosed on CNN that the singer had been having difficulty rehearsing for his London performances at L.A.’s Staples Center because of pain from previous injuries. “His use of medications had gotten in the way,” Oxman said. The London Sun reported that it had learned from paramedics that Jackson had collapsed after being given an injection of the painkiller Demerol by his personal physician, who was administering CPR to him when they arrived. Results of toxicological tests conducted during today’s autopsy are not expected to be made known for several days or perhaps even weeks. However, AEG Live, the Philip Anschutz-owned concert company that was producing Jackson’s sold-out London shows, said early today that he had passed an insurance examination by independent doctors only recently. Nevertheless, the Los Angeles Times recently reported that although AEG Live had been able to obtain insurance from Lloyd’s of London for his London shows, the rest of his tour dates -- which were expected to gross as much as $500 million -- were not covered.

All four major TV networks aired news specials about Jackson Thursday. In addition, NBC reran its recent documentary about Farrah Fawcett, who also died Thursday.
