'Criminal Minds' A.J. Cook glad to have come full circle
28 March 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
A.J. Cook is glad to be back where many fans feel she belongs.
After being let go from her role as FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit sleuth Jennifer "Jj" Jareau, the actress was brought back to CBS' long-running Wednesday crime drama "Criminal Minds" for its current season. With the show's seventh round nearing its end, and repeats shown regularly on both A&E Network and Ion, Cook feels as if she never left ... almost.
"Because of all that has happened in the past year, there's a huge sense of pride and accomplishment there," she reflects. "I'm happy to see the long way that Jj has come. I always think back to the first episode, and I don't even know who that character is anymore.
"She's grown so much, and we've watched her grow up on-screen in a way," Cook adds. "I feel like I've done a lot of growing up in »

Goosebumps author R.L. Stine published a horror story on Twitter
20 February 2012 1:23 PM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
R.L. Stine—creator of the Goosebumps series that allowed many a kid to escape the horrors of middle school with comforting tales of murder—has written so many best-selling stories by now that he could pretty much just give them away. And so that’s what he did late last week, tweeting a brief tale about a haunted kitchen to his followers that you can read below. It’s admittedly slight, true, but normally for the feeling of horror slowly mounting line-by-line, you’d have to follow Courtney Stodden (and you don’t want to do that). Still, it »
Scott Speedman Stokes Felicity, Ryan Gosling Reunion Talk — Unintentionally!
10 February 2012 8:08 AM, PST | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Seeing Scott Speedman acting opposite Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams in The Vow has made many of us a little more than nostalgic for his Felicity heyday. All week long people have been peppering him with reunion questions, and he responded jokingly, not realizing how crazy it would drive us.
“I think I made some offhand comment about me being a giant fat person [in a reunion show], but that’s not really what I’ve been wanting to do! I didn’t think that would get so much leverage,” he told us. “I think it would be fun to get together and see where the story is, but I don’t know, that’s probably not going to happen. There’s so many people doing too many different things right now.”
In all seriousness, though, Speedman is interested in coming back to the small screen. “Especially right now, there seems to be a lot of good television happening, »

‘Jack The Giant Killer’ Writer Darren Lemke To Pen ‘Goosebumps’ Adaptation
17 January 2012 5:46 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Columbia Pictures are in negotiations with Darren Lemke to adapt a movie based on R.L. Stine’s best-selling children’s book series, Goosebumps. Stine has written over 50 scare stories aimed at young teens, which gives Lemke – if a deal is reached, an embarrassment of riches to choose from. Columbia picked up the rights to the series in 2008, and has had a number of writers struggle to give them something substantial to work with. Lemke, it seems for the studio, could be the one to make that happen.
Goosebumps horror tales were inspired by the likes of The Twilight Zone and the familiar spooky camp-fire urban legends. The author capitalised on the fact that horror stories don’t always need blood, sex and gore to become effective, which made them perfect fodder for children around the world to enjoy. A kids television series (which aired on Nickelodeon) based on the books, »

‘Jack the Giant Killer’ Writer Darren Lemke to Pen ‘Goosebumps’ Adaptation
16 January 2012 3:00 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] Hey, remember that R.L. Stine children's horror novel series Goosebumps? Columbia Pictures certainly does, and it's hoping you do, too. Back in 2008, the studio acquired the rights to over 50 of Stine's books with the intention of bringing the stories to the big screen, but is still struggling to get the project off the ground after several failed attempts. Now the latest writer set to take a crack at the screenplay is Darren Lemke, whose previous credits include Shrek Forever After and the upcoming Jack the Giant Killer. More details after the jump. The Hollywood Reporter [2] writes that once Lemke finalizes his Goosebumps deal he'll be starting fresh with the story rather than updating an existing draft. Among the other writers who've worked on the script in past incarnations are Carl Ellsworth [3] (Disturbia) and Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters).

Jack the Giant Killer scribe Darren Lemke takes on the Goosebumps adaptation
16 January 2012 2:56 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
There's a certain comfort in knowing that if I mention the book series, Goosebumps that the majority of you will experience a sweet nostalgia. I know I do. Back in the 90s, I was filled with immense joy when a new book would come out. Over the years, I would go back and revisit my favorite ones like "One Day at Horrorland" or "The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena". R.L. Stine was one of the best horror writers for kids.

Jack the Giant Killer Scribe to Give the Big Screen Goosebumps
16 January 2012 12:00 PM, PST | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
The children’s horror series, Goosebumps, written by R.L. Stine is heading to the big-screen. This series, which Stine describes the series as “scary books that are also funny” has held the title of New York Times best seller for children since Scholastic began publishing the books in 1992, beginning with Goosebumps: Welcome to Dead House.
According to THR, writer Darren Lemke (Jack the Giant Killer, Shrek Forever) is about to close a deal with Columbia Pictures to pen the big screen adaptation of Goosebumps. Neal Moritz and Original Films will produce the project alongside Scholastic Entertainment’s Deborah Forte.
In 2008 Columbia picked up the rights to 50 of R.L. Stine‘s books and as they have worked with several other writers on this project in the past that haven’t gelled, they will be starting fresh with Lemke.
Goosebumps has been adapted for television in the past running for four »

If you were born in the 90s or later, or you were not a child anymore in the nineties then you have no idea what I’m talking about, I am sure. But, if you were a child of the 90s, then you will remember the R.L. Stine book series Goosebumps of sixty-two books that were [...]

Ben Kassoy: Remaining Present Amidst Instant Nostalgia
15 January 2012 6:41 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Last weekend, I turned on the TV to find Kenan Thompson impersonating Charles Barkley on Saturday Night Live. Eh.
Flipping through channels, I soon settled on my perfect alternative: Nickelodeon's The 90s Are All That programming, which resurrects some of the decade's best shows. I spent the night watching 22-year-old Thompson as a rambunctious grocery-store clerk on Kenan & Kel.
The throwbacks kept coming: at a club, the DJ mashed 'N Sync's "Tearin' Up My Heart" with the Spice Girls' "Wannabe," and the place went bonkers. I recently ran into R.L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps saga; I now consider his autograph my most prized possession. I just booked tickets to Beauty and the Beast in 3D.
If my life is any indication, my generation's fixation on the (recent) past is ever-present. Despite our youth -- most Millennials are somewhere between 17 and 29 -- we take our nostalgia as we take our information and gratification: instant. »

'Jack The Giant Killer' Writer Darren Lemke Adapting R.L. Stine's 'Goosebumps' For The Big Screen
15 January 2012 9:07 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
“Readers beware, you’re in for a scare,” is a tagline that should be quite familiar to those readers that came of age in the ‘90s when author R.L. Stine’s massively successful “Goosebumps” series was all the rage. With literally hundreds of titles in the series, a popular television show which featured fresh young faces like actors Ryan Gosling and Hayden Christensen, “Goosebumps” was quite the lucrative property for Stine and Scholastic books alike. Now The Hollywood Reporter directs us to a bit of news that Darren Lemke, who wrote the spec for which got the upcoming Bryan Singer-directed “Jack the Giant Killer” moving over at New Line, is closing a deal to aide Columbia Pictures in their attempt capitalize on the nostalgia of many with a big-screen adaptation of the “Goosebumps” series. “Fast Five” producer Neal Moritz’s Original Films banner along with Deborah Forte with »
New Writer Hired for Goosebumps Movie?
14 January 2012 1:01 PM, PST | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Columbia Pictures has owned the rights to R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series since 2008, but they haven’t been able to get a movie off the ground. Looking to give it another try, they have hired a new writer to take a fresh approach to the material.
According to Heat Vision, Darren Lemke (Jack the Giant Killer, Shrek Forever After) is finalizing a deal to write a feature film adaptation of Goosebumps. It is mentioned that he’s starting from scratch instead of working off any of the previous drafts, so we’re not sure if the script will be based on any particular book or if it will be a new idea using themes from the series.
The original Goosebumps series started with Welcome To Dead House in July 1992 and continued until 1997 with a total of 62 books. Since then, there have been numerous spin-off books, a TV series, and video games. »

Goosebumps Gets Writer Darren Lemke
14 January 2012 11:36 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Columbia Pictures has hired Jack the Giant Killer and Shrek Forever After scribe Darren Lemke to pen the screenplay for their long-awaited big screen adaptation of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps.
Columbia picked up the rights to more than fifty books from R.L. Stine way back in 2008, stories of which focus mainly on the world of Ya horror. In terms of bringing this first adaptation to theaters, the studio has already thrown many writers at it, all of which have failed to crack the perfect formula. Darren Lemke will be starting his screenplay from scratch.
No story has been decided upon just yet, but it will follow the Goosebumps tradition of paying homage to classic horror films such Night of the Living Dead and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, only without such horror tropes as blood, excessive violence, and sex. These seemingly-needed aspects of the horror genre will be replaced with jokes. »

‘Goosebumps’ Movie Lands A New Screenwriter
14 January 2012 8:40 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Fast and the Furious franchise producer Neal H. Moritz has been working with Scholastic Entertainment and Columbia Pictures to bring R.L. Stine’s popular Goosebumps books to the big screen since the latter snagged screen rights to more than 50 of the author’s works, all the way back in 2008.
Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood, 1408) were among the first screenwriters to take a stab at the project, followed by Carl Ellsworth (Disturbia, The Last House on the Left) back in 2010. Yet another writer has been brought onboard to pen the Goosebumps movie; like his predecessors, he will be starting from scratch, rather than working from an earlier script draft.
The writer in question is Darren Lemke, who (according to Heat Vision) is in the midst of closing a deal to work on Goosebumps. ...

‘Jack the Giant Killer’ Scribe to Give Audiences ‘Goosebumps’
14 January 2012 6:00 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Nostalgia kicks in… now. THR informs us that Neil Moritz and Original Films have found a scribe for their Goosebumps movie: Darren Lemke, one of the writers behind this summer’s forthcoming Jack the Giant Killer. He’s one of many to come onboard the adaptation since Columbia bought the rights in May of 2008, with the last notable creative voice being Disturbia writer Carl Ellsworth.
They’re now taking things in Lemke‘s direction, who they hope will be able to “crack the code” of R.L. Stine‘s beloved, best-selling series that’s comprised of more than 100 books. Columbia has the rights to over 50 of these, a little factoid which makes me wonder — are they going the anthology route with this thing? Horror is one of the few genres (if not the only one) that works particularly well with this type of structure, and it was even sort of done »

Scribe Darren Lemke Closing a Deal with Columbia Pictures for Goosebumps Adaptation

A live-action feature adaptation of the R.L. Stine book series Goosebumps has been kicking around Columbia Pictures for months (if not years), and the last we heard Carl Ellsworth (co-writer of Red Dawn and Disturbia) had come aboard to write the screenplay. But things have changed, and now Darren Lemke (Jack the Giant Killer) is starting over from Page One.
Per THR's Heat Vision Blog, Neal Moritz and his Sony-based Original Films shingle are producing, as is Scholastic Entertainment's Deborah Forte. Columbia picked up the rights to the more than 50 books written by R.L. Stine in May 2008. Along with Ellsworth, the project has seen several other writers, but the studio hasn't been satisfied, turning now to Lemke.

Lemke To Pen "Goosebumps" Feature
13 January 2012 8:21 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Darren Lemke ("Jack the Giant Killer," "Shrek Forever After") is closing a deal to pen a live-action film adaptation of children’s horror series "Goosebumps" for Sony Pictures and Original Films says Heat Vision.
Author R.L. Stine's highly successful series comprises more than 50 books that often pay homage to classic sci-fi/horror movies. After scoring the rights to the book series in 2008, Sony's been trying to adapt the property without much success it would seem.
Lemke marks at least the fourth writer to take a shot following Larry Karaszewski, Scott Alexander, and Carl Ellsworth - Lemke's work will ignore the previous attempts and start from page one.
Neal Moritz and Deborah Forte are producing. The project marks the property's first film treatment and is a potential franchise launcher for the studio. »
