Judd Apatow On 'Girls,' His Daughter's Twitter Account & Lena Dunham
11 April 2012 10:10 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Judd Apatow's involvement as an executive producer on "Girls" started with an email.
After watching the 2010 indie film "Tiny Furniture," Apatow sent writer-director-star Lena Dunham a note expressing his excitement: "I said, 'Hey, if you ever want to kick anything around, let me know,'" Apatow recalled to HuffPost. As it turns out, she did.
What they kicked around was "Girls," a new HBO series (premieres Sunday, April 15 at 10:30 p.m. Et) that stars Dunham as a single girl navigating love and work in New York with her friends. The show -- which has already been on the receiving end of high praise from The New Yorker, The New York Times and New York magazine -- feels like the beginning of something special, which Apatow realized during production.
"There's a few times in my career where there's been something good [on the page], but when they do it, it's way better, »

American Reunion Directors Reveal The Pie Scene That Got Cut
10 April 2012 4:11 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Hayden Schlossberg and Jon Hurwitz aren't embarrassed to admit that they love franchises. That might not be much of a surprise, given that their oddball script Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle turned into one of the most successful and consistently funny comedy franchises in recent years, but they're not just into franchises for the cash it puts in their pockets. Raised on a diet of successful sequels like Back to the Future Part II and the Star Wars franchise, Schlossberg and Hurwitz genuinely think sequels can be great-- and whether that's naive or just brave, that's the attitude that brought them to American Reunion and allowed them to make what might be the first good movie in that franchise since the first one. The co-directors and co-writers were charged with coming up with a pitch for a film that could successfully reunite the entire American Pie cast, and »
Google announces 'Project Glass': At last, the virtual reality cyborg glasses we've been dreaming of!

Remember when Google announced that they had a super-top-secret technology laboratory that was going to finally invent the exciting future promised to us by Back to the Future Part II, as opposed to the annoyingly smartphone-infested Philip K. Dick-esque future we currently inhabit? Well, the company has finally started to follow through on the promise of Google X, thanks to a just-revealed piece of juicy tech couture. “Project Glass,” aka “The Google Glasses,” which looks like a fashion-forward version of Geordi La Forge’s visor and allows the user to view the world in RoboCop Vision.

Luke Owen's Desert Island Collection

Luke Owen presents his Desert Island Collection...
Movies
1. Ghostbusters - Quite simply, this is the perfect movie. Funny, heart-warming, exciting and thoroughly entertaining. Dan Aykroyd is my hero.
2. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - While Empire is technically a better movie, I'm taking A New Hope because it is a complete movie. It has a beginning, a middle and an end which ties up all the loose threads. The problem with Empire is that as soon as it ends you'll want to watch Jedi...
3. Jurassic Park - This was a tough one as I only wanted to take one Spielberg movie and he has far too many good films under his belt, but Jurassic Park is just a masterpiece of cinema. Awe-inspiring visuals, great characters and action set-pieces that have you on the edge of your seat. I'm taking Jurassic Park over E.T. because there is nothing »

Back to the Future II hoverboard replica teased to ToyFair attendees
14 February 2012 10:25 PM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
2015 is just three short years away. Unless the world sees some rapid technological discoveries in flying cars, 3D holographic, hydrated food and home fusion kits, I don't think that we're going to get to the same future world glimpsed in the 2015 scenes from 1989's Back to the Future Part II.
Nike Power Laces could happen. Mattel's Hoverboard? Perhaps we won't get one that floats on air like Marty McFly's, but we'll get the next best thing: an official replica that will "glide over most surfaces". Huh?
A display standing at last weekend's ToyFair boasted that a 1:1 replica of Marty's famed pink Hoverboard is being offered by the MattyCollector website. According to the info posted on the website, orders for the Hoverboard replica will be accepted between March 1 to March 20. If enough orders are collected for this "high-cost item", it'll go into production and ship to buyers sometime in November »

Back to the Future Hoverboards for Sale
14 February 2012 3:01 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Soon the only thing you'll need to acquire your very own Back to the Future hoverboard is a car to take you to the store — and it doesn't have to be a Delorean. Mattell made the announcement at the 109th American Toy Fair in New York this weekend.
In fact, no time travel is necessary for those hardcore fans wanting to get their hands (and feet) on a hot pink replica of the board first introduced by Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) in 1989's Back to the Future: Part II. Sadly, the replica is just that and does not hover. Fans must look into the future for that feature. However, according the movie, the future isn't that far from us — 2015 is just 3 years away.
While you wait for your personal hoverboard, save up for a pair of the limited-time Nike Mag shoes, inspired by McFly's pair, which were released »

'Back to the Future' hover board replicas to be made by Mattel
13 February 2012 3:04 PM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
The iconic hover board from Back to the Future Part II is to be finally released in the real world by Mattel, it has been announced. Before you get too excited, sadly the boards won't actually hover, but fans will still be able to get their hands on the next best thing. Toy Fair claims that the pink boards are "movie accurate" and that it will "glide on most surfaces". It even has a hole missing from where Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) ripped off the girly handlebars. The limited edition item will be available for pre-order from March 1-20, and will be shipped in time for the holiday season later this year. A price has yet to be confirmed for the boards. "Because this is such a high-cost item, there will be a (more) »

Yes! Mattel is Finally Making 'Back to the Future Part II' Hoverboards
13 February 2012 11:16 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
As if getting a pair of Nike MAGs or hearing of brand new electric DeLoreans wasn't enough for Back to the Future fans (even if they don't really have those power laces), it looks like another piece of fiction from Robert Zemeckis' cherished sci-fi trilogy is becoming a reality. This past weekend at the New York City Toy Fair, Mattel recently unveiled plans to finally release a prop replica of the infamous hoverboard that Marty McFly cruises around on in Back to the Future Part II. However, for those hoping to hang on to the back of a pick-up truck and glide around your local town square, this isn't a real working hoverboard. Here's what an official press release from Mattel (via SlashFilm) says about the hoverboard: Back to the Future Hover Board: Finally! This totally awesome 1:1 replica of the hover board from the Bttf 2 and Bttf 3 films »

How to Double Your Box Office

Commenting on the commentators with Simon Columb...
Angie Han writes for Slash Film about a new (Beatles-inspired?) double-film project that Joel Edgerton and Jessica Chastain have recently become involved in called The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Hers:
"I’m a sucker for movies about failing relationships to begin with, and I love the idea of two films telling the same tale from two different angles. The same exact events can seem radically different depending on who’s telling the story, especially if the people involved aren’t quite on the same wavelength at the moment. On the downside, if the project is badly done, audiences could wind up paying twice for what’s essentially the same film, but the press release notes that both parts are intended as stand-alone features."

'Back To The Future' Broadway-Bound?
3 February 2012 10:29 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Get your DeLorean ready: "Back to the Future" could be returning -- as a musical.
A representative for writer and director Robert Zemeckis confirmed to The Huffington Post that Zemeckis, co-writer Bob Gale and composer Alan Silvestri are engaged in preliminary creative discussions about the possibility of bringing "Back to the Future" to Broadway.
The original film tells the story of Marty McFly (as played by Michael J. Fox), a high school student sent from 1985 to 1955, where he runs into his parents, accidentally catching the eye of his future mother. The movie was the first in a trilogy that also includes 1989's "Back to the Future Part II" and 1990's "Back to the Future Part III."
No other information regarding when the musical might happen, or who might be cast is yet available. If the musical comes to fruition, it would be only one among a growing crop of recently announced screen-to-stage adaptations. »
