Pop Up Screens Returns For A Summer of Cinematic Fun
30 May 2012 6:54 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
After the roaring success of its inaugural weekend last summer, Pop Up Screens is finally back with a fantastic line up of outdoor, open-air weekend screenings throughout the summer around London.
Last May saw Ravenscourt Park in Hammersmith play host to three nights of pure cinematic gold, all screened to huge crowds in the park. On Friday Ron Burgundy and his boys held court over the park as audiences quoted their way through Anchorman. Saturday we braved the elements to watch The Dude try and solve the mystery of the missing Bunny Lebowski. The Big Lebowski’s tipple – The White Russian – was also on sale at the bar. While on Sunday we feasted on Twinkies as a warm, starless night provided the perfect atmosphere for Ghostbusters.
This year, however, Pop Up has upped the ante and are putting on 7 weekends of film fun. Watching films on a giant inflatable screen »

Bill Murray Uncomfortable In Spotlight Following Film Release
25 May 2012 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Bill Murray hides away every time he makes a big movie, insisting the public eyes him with a "strange hunger".
The actor has appeared in a host of major Hollywood films, including Ghostbusters and Lost in Translation, but he still finds it uncomfortable when he's recognised in the street.
He tells Britain's The Times, "After a big film people in the street look at you with a strange hunger; mad, raw and terrifying. Not so much here (the U.K.), but in America it's like being in a steam room all the time. You have to hide away."
Murray is adamant the problem is so intrusive he craves the chance to appear in smaller budget movies instead.
He adds, "I like small movies like Moonrise (Kingdom). With big movies you have to be the 300lbs gorilla in the room. People expect that of you, and if someone's going wrong, you have to crack that egg for the director you're working for. You have to throw a fit because that's the expectation." »
Watch: Bill Murray Drunkenly Touring the 'Moonrise Kingdom' Set
22 May 2012 2:15 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
This weekend, Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, the director's return to live-action films after adapting The Fantastic Mr. Fox, hits limited theaters. Alex already gave a mostly positive review of the film from Cannes (follow all his coverage right here), and now we have a hilarious piece of promotional video for the film. Frequent Anderson collaborator Bill Murray gives viewers an inebriated tour through the set and story of Moonrise Kingdom with the kind of commentary that only the star of Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day and What About Bob? can deliver. It's a funny way to promote the film, so be sure to watch it below! Here's the funny set and story featurette for Moonrise Kingdom via Deadline: Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, his seventh feature film, was filmed on an island in New England. It recounts a tormented and surprising story of children and adults during the stormy days of »

Bill Murray Guide To Life: Lessons From An Acting Legend
18 May 2012 2:07 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Last week, as the most glamorous cineastes walked the red carpet at Cannes, there was one star who stood out among the rest: Bill Murray. (The "Ghostbusters" actor came dressed in a multi-plaid suit reminiscent of his "Caddyshack" days. He even had a miniature camera to snap photos of the crowd.) This shouldn't come as a surprise. What happened in France wasn't a moment of pure spontaneity; it was pure Murray. Over the years, the actor's on- and off-screen shenanigans have become legend. Whether it's crashing a karaoke session or initiating a dance circle, he knows exactly what he's doing. On Friday, Murray's antics continue in his newest film, "Moonrise Kingdom." Here, Bill plays a shoe-throwing father of a love-crazed tween. In honor of Murray continuing to set the curve for cool, let's take a look at the (long overdue) Bill Murray Guide to Life. Take notes, people! Watch: »

Bill Murray is a Wry FDR in First 'Hyde Park on Hudson' Trailer (Video)
18 May 2012 10:50 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
If you had told people years ago that Bill Murray -- of Meatballs, Stripes, Caddy Shack and Ghostbusters fame -- would play perhaps the 20th century's most dynamic president in a non-satirical film, no one would have ever believed you. Fast forward a quarter century and acclaimed dramatic roles in films such as The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore and Lost in Translation, and say hello to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, as portrayed by Murray himself. In the first trailer for Hyde Park on Hudson, Murray smiles, jokes and wisely winks through the high tension 1939 meeting between America's First Couple, the King

Jaws Certificate Raised From PG To 12A By BBFC
16 May 2012 6:40 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The PG certificate of Jaws has always struck many as a strange decision, due to its frightening suspense and gory shark attacks.
Now, 37 years since its original release, the BBFC have granted Jaws a 12A certificate for its upcoming theatrical re-release.
Steven Spielberg’s classic thriller about a great white shark which terrorises a small beach community, was first released uncut in 1975 with an ‘A’ certificate – which meant that the film may be unsuitable for younger children. Following its theatrical release, Jaws was then later certified as ‘PG’ for all subsequent releases on VHS and DVD.
Although it might seem unusual for a film to have its certification upped to a higher rating, this certainly isn’t the first time the BBFC have done so. Just last year a theatrical re-release of Ghostbusters was also raised from a PG to a 12A due to sexual innuendo – or to be more precise, »

From Prometheus to Spider-Man: our summer blockbuster preview

If Brave doesn't hit the target, a reborn Bourne just might. Here we look at this year's big-budget crowd-pleasers
Absorbed at a glance, the list of coming summer blockbusters always seems exciting. That's the point: these are not the year's subtlest or most profound films but they're the loudest, brashest, costliest pulse-quickeners on the annual programme. Trouble is, despite a level of anticipation carefully nurtured by the big studios during winter and spring (posters, billboards, teasers, trailers, tie-ins, tweets, featurettes, adverts, apps – everything but Will Smith himself coming round to scream taglines through the letterbox) the end result is so rarely a good summer's cinema.
There have been magical years. Oh, to go back to '96, with its headlining Independence Day and Mission: Impossible, backed by serviceable romps Twister and The Rock. Or to resummon 1982, when filmgoers must have wandered, happy and bewildered and increasingly hungry, in a never-ending circuit of screens showing E.T., »

Watch: Steve Jobs In Apple's 1984 'Ghostbusters' Spoof
10 May 2012 3:05 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
They year was 1984. Steve Jobs was young, "Ghostbusters" was huge and Ibm bigger than Apple.
Sometime that year the streams were crossed and Apple spoofed "Ghostbusters" in it's parody music video "Bluebusters", intended as an internal promotional "Hoo-Rah!" rallying cry in which Apple defeats the global domination aspirations of "Blue," otherwise known as Ibm.
As Paul McNamara of Network World points out, "It was clear that the metaphor of Apple as the liberator of the office worker wasn't confined to the famous 1984 commercial."
As prophetic as the theme of this video has turned out to be, we can't help but smile a bit at a young Jobs decked out in a Macintosh-inspired Ghostbusters Uniform. He looks nothing like Bill Murray, but uncannily like Harold Ramis.
Jobs:
Here's Harold Ramis:
Aside from a resemblance to Ramis, Jobs doesn't make much more of a splash in the 4:20 long video. And yes, »

The Avengers: 5 Movies That Destroyed New York Before Loki
8 May 2012 4:35 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Manhattan may well be the commercial, financial and cultural centre of the United States, but if cinema has taught us anything it is also the epicentre for evil, its famed skyline the backdrop to some of Hollywood’s biggest disasters, and favourite holiday hotspot for mutants, monsters and mad men. The most recent example of this is Marvel’s box office record buster “The Avengers” in which the Earth’s mightiest heroes go to battle with Loki and the demented Chitauri race. But have you ever wondered what other threats the Big Apple has faced over the years? Well wonder no more.
Here is What Culture’s list of the 5 biggest threats New York has faced in recent cinematic history.

4 May 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Warner Bros are reportedly developing a brand new version of 'Little Shop of Horrors'. It's not totally clear at this stage how the new version will come to fruition as in will it be based on Roger Corman's original 1960 version or the 1986 musical version. But it does appear that 'Glee' producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa whp is also penning the new 'Carrie' script is being lined-up as the scribe on the project. Even more interestingly 'Inception', 'Looper' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' star Joseph Gordon-Levitt is looking to star as well as help develop the project.

New Clip from the Next Episode of Transformers Prime
26 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
I hope you’ve had a chance to catch this terrific animated series on The Hub, now in its second season. Executive produced by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Star Trek, the Transformers feature films, Fringe), it received a 2011 Daytime Emmy for Background Design and Color Design, and nominations for writing, directing, music direction and composition, and Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for the legendary Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime – yes, the same man who gave his voice to Prime in the movies and video games.
So it looks great, it sounds great, and it has some good solid storylines. You’ll also recognize some of the other voice actors: Jeffrey Combs (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) as Ratchet, Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2) as Agent Fowler, and Markie Post (Murphy Brown) as Jack’s mom June, and recurring guest voices including Firefly castmates Adam Baldwin as Breakdown and Gina Torres as Airachnid. »

Bill Murray Tells Chicago reporter Ghostbusters 3 a ‘Possibility’
16 April 2012 11:41 PM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Bill Murray threw out the first pitch at the season home opener for the Chicago Cubs but he generated bigger headlines telling a Chicago TV reporter that Ghostbusters 3 remained a “possibility” for him. The genre site Blastr jumped on the story giving hope to Ghostbusters fans still optimistic that Murray would strap on the proton pack one more time as Dr. Peter Venkman and join the long-in-development project. These same optimistic fans (and fan sites) jumped all over Murray’s good-natured stance about Ghostbusters 3 since it was such a dramatic departure from Murray’s previous outbursts about the planned sequel. »
Bill Murray Now Says Ghostbusters 3 A Possibility

Bill Murray, who has always been reluctant to sign on for a second sequel to his hit 1984 supernatural comedy ‘Ghostbusters,’ is now saying another installment in the franchise is possible, Indiewire is reporting. Director Ivan Reitman, who helmed the original ‘Ghostbusters,’ and co-writers/stars Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis have been trying to make a third entry in the franchise for the past several years, but Murray has always been reluctant to sign on. Murray has generally asked “do we really need another one?,” and has harshly assessed the franchise’s viability. But when asked during a recent interview with Chicago’s Wgntv about whether he would consider filming another ‘Ghostbusters’ sequel, [ Read More ] »

Bill Murray Says He May Return for Ghostbusters 3
16 April 2012 6:12 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Dan Aykroyd has been working hard to get the third "Ghostbusters" installment off the ground. Unfortunately, Bill Murray kept delaying things while also indicating that he may not be interested in reprising his role. Aykroyd then announced that he's moving forward without Murray's involvement. "The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn't want to be involved," he explained. Now in an interview about Wes Anderson's upcoming "Moonrise Kingdom," Murray revealed that there's still a "possibility" that he will return for "Ghostbusters 3." What that means is unclear, but we're hoping to get a clarification from Aykroyd soon. »

Who ya gonna call... Bill Murray?? At least according to Murray you do. We know what your thinking, because we're thinking the same exact thing!! But it now appears that the actor isn't ruling out doing "Ghostbusters 3" after all.

Don’t Rule Out Bill Murray For Ghostbusters 3
16 April 2012 12:54 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Earlier this year Dan Aykroyd – writer of the Ghostbusters franchise – broke our hearts when he told us that Dr Peter Venkman, aka Bill Murray would not be involved with Ghostbusters 3. However, it now seems all is not lost after a recent interview with Murray who was quoted saying there is still a ‘possibility’ that he may join the project.
Choosing not to dwell on the matter Murray quickly changed the subject back to his current involvement with Moonrise Kingdom, Wes Anderson’s upcoming drama. Nevertheless it has fans of the films reeling that a straight no wasn’t yet on the cards and that the legacy of the movies may continue with another member of the original cast.

Bill Murray calls Ghostbusters 3 a Possibility!
16 April 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
So after Dan Aykroyd came out and said that Ghostbusters 3 was in "suspended animation." The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and producer Harold Ramis feel, "there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn't want to be involved." But now Murray has come out and said that the movie is actually a possibility for him!
He recently participated in an interview with Wgntv, and he was asked about the possibility of participating in the long awaited third Ghostbusters film. He responded with a short and simple answer... "well, it's a possibility."
So it doesn't sound like he's completely counted himself out yet, which is great news! Either Murray is just being polite and doesn't want to get into a discussion about it, or there's actually a chance that the movie could move forward with him attached.
It's crazy seeing how »
