The Buzz: Filmmakers React to Avatar

James Cameron's Avatar has been unleashed upon this world. We've run reviews from half of the /Film staff: David Chen, Brendon Connelly, Russ Fischer, and Hunter Stephenson. You might have even added your own mini-review. But you might be wondering, with all the talk of game-changing advances in the tech side of filmmaking, what do the writers and directors in Hollywood think of Avatar? Here is a round-up of quotes:
Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer: "Went to a special screening of Avatar last night where James Cameron did a Q&A after the film. I can’t tell you how much I loved the movie, or how clearly Cameron cemented himself as the world’s greatest living filmmaker. This is an incredible movie. I recommend seeing it in IMAX. So next level. So awesome. Avatar is a game changer. James Cameron wins."

Michael J. Fox's newest book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future, will be published on April 13, 2010 by Hyperion, with the former "Spin City" and 'Back to the Future' star offering advice and encouragement to graduates. "When things go bad, as they sometimes will, don't run, don't hide, stick it out and be scrupulous in facing every part of your fear," the upbeat Fox writes with his trademark optimism. Of course, the 48-year-old star has dealt with his share of adversity, having battled Parkinson's disease for almost two decades. Delivering common sense suggestions about embracing life and adversity, Fox writes about the importance of mentors and the power of facing both successes and setbacks with an open mind, saying, "One's education is never complete." Fox is the author of the No.1 New York Times bestseller Lucky Man, and the No.2 bestseller Always Looking Up,

First Two Trailers For ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’

| The Flickcast

There are some pretty great, and some pretty awful movie titles out there. From something long like Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, some titles just don’t work. Luckily, a few good screenwriters feel the same way, and bring us Hot Tub Time Machine.
The premise sounds pretty much like bliss once you hear the names involved. Four guys decide to bond on a ski trip and party hard all night on Red Bull and Vodka. They continue the night in the house’s hot tub, which transports them to 1986, where hi-jinks then ensue.
The aforementioned names involved are John Cusack, Craig Robinson (The Office, Zach and Miri Make a Porno), Clark Duke (Sex Drive, Superbad), and Rob Corddry (What Happens in Vegas, Harold and Kumar 2). The film basically looks like The Hangover meets Back to the Future, with a little

Views: The Best Movies Never Made

Each year, Hollywood executives name the best screenplays of the year that have yet to be made. In previous years, their list has catapulted dozens of scripts into production and screenwriters out of oblivion. Some of this year’s crop have moved into production; others are stuck in development hell. See what you think.
It’s called the Black List — film executives' favorite scripts written in, or somehow uniquely associated with, this year but not be released in theaters during this calendar year.
In previous years, the list has catapulted dozens of scripts into production and screenwriters out of oblivion. Diablo Cody's Juno, Nancy Oliver's Lars And The Real Girl, Scott Neustader's and Michael Weber's 500 Days Of Summer, are just some of the scripts that were made after appearing on the list.
Ninety-seven screenplays appear on the just-released version, according to Deadline Hollywood. Here are the Top

Family Guy Moving From Star Wars Spoofs To… Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Star Trek?

Something, Something, Something Darkside is the Family Guy spoof of The Empire Strikes Back, a sequel to their first Star Wars parody Blue Harvest. It hits DVD and Blu-ray next week and, of course, that means there's been some launch parties and promo events and all that kind of PR silliness. Stopped on the red carpet of one event, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was asked if his tribute toons would extend to funny-business versions of the prequel trilogy. It seems like even he could smell the badness on Clones and Menace:
I'm not as well-versed on the newer movies as much as I am on the old ones. I was a kid when the old ones came out, so they hold a special place in my heart.
So, what would follow on from the Star Wars spoofs? How about Back to the Future, Star Trek or Indiana Jones?

Sneak Peek the new trailer from director Tim Burton's upcoming live action/CG feature "Alice in Wonderland", an 'extension' to author Lewis Carroll's satiric novels "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass".
The film uses a technique combining live action and motion capture technology, starring Mia Wasikowska as 'Alice Kingsley', Johnny Depp as 'The Mad Hatter', Helena Bonham "Fght Club" Carter as 'The Red Queen', Anne Hathaway as 'The White Queen' and Crispin "Back To The Future" Glover as 'The Knave of Hearts'.
The film is due for release March 5, 2010, to be released in Disney Digital 3-D, IMAX 3-D and in regular theaters.
Disney Interactive Studios will also spin-off a video game based on the film in early 2010 for the Wii, Nintendo DS and Windows PC.
In Burton's film, Alice, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed

Review: Family Guy Something Something Something Dark Side

Family Guy presents: Something Something Something Darkside (Sssds) is the follow up to the hugely successful Blue Harvest hour long that was released last year, Blue Harvest was a parody of A New Hope and Sssds is of course parodying The Empire Strikes Back.
I love everything Family Guy and laugh more at it than I do at most other comedy TV shows I watch, the problem I have with it though is that some of the jokes are aimed at the American audience so us Brits will sit in silence whilst State-side they are chuckling away. This of course can’t be avoided but it does make it difficult to fully appreciate the series and this Family Guy hour long in particular to its full.
Never-the-less Sssds is a great example of controversial humour, excellent animation and a obvious passion towards the Star Wars ethos which is only slightly

If you're a fan of Family Guy, then I'm sure you're fully aware that the animated television show is about to put out their second Star Wars spoof, titled Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side, on DVD and Blu-ray on December 22nd. This time around they'll be spoofing Empire Strikes Back with another hour-long moviesode, and then next year they plan to put out a final one that spoofs Return of the Jedi. The first moviesode, of course, was titled Blue Harvest and spoofed Episode IV: A New Hope. According to a chat with The La Times, Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane confirmed that he's pretty much stopping at Jedi when it comes to these Star Wars spoofs, saying, "I'm not as well-versed on the newer movies as much as I am on the old ones.

Teen Wolf Remake Has a Cast

We've not reported on the Teen Wolf remake before, because we were losing the will to live, but with casting now well underway, maybe it's time to grit our teeth.Post (or, we guess, during) Twilight, and with Benicio's The Wolfman finally gathering near-release hype momentum, a new Teen Wolf was perhaps a no-brainer. MTV certainly thought so, and their version of the Michael J Fox comedy from 1985 (which would almost certainly never have hit if not for Back to the Future) is being developed as a TV series with "a greater emphasis on romance, horror and werewolf mythology." No basketball then.The lead character of a nerdy high schooler who gets superpowers and charisma from a wolfbite, will be played by Tyler Posey, from Brothers and Sisters and Smallville (he was also in Collateral Damage: one of two little Arnie connections, since the original Teen Wolf was written by Jeff Loeb,

The 2009 Black List Revealed

Since 2004, Franklin Leonard releases The Black List every December. It’s a list of best read scripts that’s complied from the suggestions of agents assistants, managers, film executives, and whoever else he gets to contribute. While last year had 260 people contribute, this year’s had 97 scripts from 311 contributors. Most of the scripts on the list are in some stage of development in the studio system, and it’s been said that a high listing can help move your project forward. What I’m trying to say is, the list is very important in Hollywood and many people try extremely hard to land in the top ten.
So now that you’re curious, hit the jump to check out the top ten on the 2009 Black List:
Of course big thanks to Entertainment Weekly for posting the list. If you can, hit the link to show some appreciation. And for more on The Black List,

Last December, we introduced you to Franklin Leonard and The Black List, the list of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood. Since then, Leonard has been named by The Hollywood Reporter as one of the top 35 executives under 35 working in Hollywood and his list has gained even more prominence. This year's list consists of 97 scripts with 311 people contributing to the ranking -- up from 260 in 2008. The top 10 (actually, 11, thanks to a tie in 10th place) is filled with mostly up-and-comers, with the exception of Aaron Sorkin and David Scarpa. All of the scripts are in some stage of development around Hollywood,

Still trying to forget that he had a role in Hitman, Dougray Scott has signed on to star in Dana Lustig's indie romantic fantasy The Veil Of Maya.Alex Kustanovich and Vadim Moldovan wrote the script, which, according to Variety, is a "Kafkaesque story of a woman who travels back in time to undo a relationship in order to avoid its tragic finale." So, Back To The Future meets The Time Traveller's Wife? Or, er, something.Lustig will start cranking the cameras next month in London, so if locals see Scott wandering around looking like he's being stalked by a woman from the future, now you know why.

'Back to the Future' With a Gay Mom?
6 December 2009 2:02 PM, PST
| Cinematical

»
Idle thoughts on a Sunday afternoon: How radically different would some movies be if the sexual orientation of a single character was changed? Actress Meredith Baxter revealed last week that she's a lesbian, which made me think of her most famous role as a mother in Family Ties, which made me think of Michael J. Fox, who played her son in that series. And that made me think of his most famous role as a son in Back to the Future, which made me think: what if Marty McFly's mother (played by Lea Thompson) was gay?
That would eliminate the most squeamish element of the movie: Lorraine's attraction to Marty. (When she's admiring him in his Calvin Kleins, yeesh! Get me out of here.) Instead, Marty might have time traveled back to 1955, seen that Lorraine wasn't attracted to George McFly (Crispin Glover), and then gradually come to realize -- with

Supernatural Casting for... Cupid?!?

While Supernatural won't air a new episode until January 21, the series is at least giving fans a lot to ponder about what's on the way.
First, Julie McNiven previewed the installment "Back to the Future II," which will focus on a Terminator-like trip through time for Anna.
Now, The CW has released details for the February episode "My Bloody Valentine," which involved the character of Cupid. Yes, that Cupid.
In a casting notice, the mythical character is described as "doughy, out of shape and naked," greeting everyone with bear hugs worthy of such a loving individual. Any thoughts on who should take on this iconic role?
The episode will also feature Famine, a withered member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

DS Icon: Christopher Lloyd

Great Scott!! Very few actors are blessed enough to earn the status of cult icon for just one thing, which makes the career of Christopher Lloyd all the more amazing. As well as starring alongside Jack Nicholson in the movie adaptation of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Lloyd also appeared in Danny DeVito sitcom Taxi, as Uncle Fester in both Addams Family movies and as the terrifying Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. What he's best known for is, of course, his three Back To The Future movies as the irrepressible Doctor Emmett Lathrop Brown. We caught up with The Doc (and newly-crowned Digital Spy Icon) ahead of the release of new kids' movie Santa Buddies. You've been in a lot of really well-loved work - do you consider yourself something of a cult icon?

It will be no great shock to hear that living in London has both advantages and disadvantages. It is true that the cost of a 200 yd train journey may be the equivalent of a small flat in Hull, and rather like rats in New York it is said that you are never more than 100 metres away from a Premiership footballer or someone "in media", but the capital does have one thing in its favour: a vast range of unique cultural opportunities, among them some of the best independent cinemas in the country. It is true that many other cities, too, offer a wonderful alternative to the looming multiplex (Brighton, Oxford, Manchester, Bristol, to name just four that I have experienced myself) but merely by virtue of geographical and population size, London is unrivalled. At anything up to £15 they can be expensive, but for the chance to see a treasured classic on the big screen,
