Buzz Time Machine: Scarlett Johansson Auditions For Jumanji
4 May 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
In this week's edition of Buzz Time Machine, we've got a very young Scarlett Johansson auditioning for the 1995 family action movie Jumanji. The role of Judy Shepherd ultimately went to Kirsten Dunst and Scarlett had to wait a few more years to get her breakout performance, but something tells us she landed on her feet. After all, she is starring as Black Widow in The Avengers, which is poised to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Yeah, we think she'll be Ok. »

Kirsten Dunst On The Road Poster
20 April 2012 4:36 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kirsten Dunst/Camille On the Road poster If this isn't an all-out smile, I don't know what is. Those sparkling white teeth and healthy-looking gums belong to Kirsten Dunst. What a world! What a life! What a dentist!. I'm assuming Dunst's is the last On the Road "character" poster we're adding, as every major On the Road character has already gotten his/her poster. Dunst's actually came out before the ones for the film's three leads, Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, and Kristen Stewart. We're just late posting it. In On the Road, Dunst plays Camille, the wife of Dean Moriarty (Hedlund), who leaves her behind to go on the road with the much younger Marylou (Stewart). Camille is based on Carolyn Cassady, the first wife of the sexually adventurous Neal Cassady (Moriarty in the novel/film). Sissy Spacek played Carolyn Cassady in John Byrum's Heart Beat, based on Cassady's 1976 book of memoirs, »

Titanic 3D Box Office: $2 Billion Worldwide
16 April 2012 10:56 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Titanic Box Office: Guy Pearce / Maggie Grace's Lockout Bombs, Julia Roberts / Lily Collins / Armie Hammer's Mirror Mirror Resilient The Titanic 3D rerelease hasn't broken any box-office records in North America, where it has taken in an estimated $44.41 million after 12 days. Overseas, however, it's another story. This weekend (which includes Wed./Thu. in some territories), Titanic 3D topped the international box office, collecting an estimated $98.9 million at 9,889 theaters in 69 territories (representing more than 100 countries), according to Box Office Mojo. In China alone, James Cameron disaster / romantic epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and veteran Gloria Stuart drew $67 million, an official record for that country (not adjusted for inflation / currency fluctuations). For comparison's sake: several years before China became a box-office powerhouse for Hollywood movies — one likely to surpass the United States in the not-too-distant future — Titanic earned $43.92 million during its initial run in that country. »

Titanic 3D Box Office: Much Better Overseas
8 April 2012 3:33 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Titanic 3D Gary Ross / Jennifer Lawrence / Liam Hemsworth / Josh Hutcherson's The Hunger Games Passes $300m? Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg's American Reunion landed at no. 2 on the North American box office chart, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. At 3,192 locations, the R-rated comedy took in $21.5 million — including $660,000 earned at Thursday midnight screenings. That's quite a bit lower than the $25 million some had been expecting as late as Friday evening, or the near-$30 million predicted by Box Office Mojo a few days ago. If those estimates are correct, Universal will surely claim that American Reunion easily surpassed the $18.7 million earned by the original American Pie at 2,508 sites in 1999. In 2012 dollars, however, American Pie would have earned approximately $29 million. And what that means is: many more tickets were sold for American Pie than for American Reunion. Also, remember that American Reunion cost a »

Box Office: The Hunger Games, American Reunion, Titanic 3D
7 April 2012 4:02 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kate Winslet as Rose, Titanic 3D The Hunger Games will easily top the North American box for the third weekend in a row. Gary Ross' dystopic adventure tale collected $12.9 million on Friday, April 6, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The film will likely earn somewhere between $35-$40 million over the Easter weekend. If so, it will be down around 30-35% compared to a week ago — or about half its 62% drop-off rate last (non-holiday) weekend. The Hunger Games should cross the $300 million mark at the domestic box office on Sunday. Its current total is $282.23 million. Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg's American Reunion landed at no. 2 on Friday. At 3,192 locations, the R-rated comedy took in $9.2 million — including $660,000 earned at Thursday midnight screenings. Its weekend total could reach $25 million. If those estimates are correct, Universal will claim that American Reunion far surpassed the $18.7 million earned by the original »

The finest fictional card and boardgames in movies and TV
6 February 2012 10:09 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
From Dejarik to Nukem to Tri-Dimensional Chess, here’s our celebration of the finest fictional games in film and TV…
“There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles,” William S Burroughs once wrote, “but ours seems to be based on war and games.” And as this list aims to prove, war and games are a common sight in the universes created by the finest geek writers in film and TV.
Whether they require a dice, board and counters, or a weirdly shaped pack of cards, the entries below represent a few of the fictional games that have popped up on the large and small screen over the past few decades. Bear in mind we’re not talking about future sports here (something we’ll hold back for another list further down the line) or made-up videogames. No, these are the kinds of games you could theoretically »
Joe Johnston's Next Project is Not Safe For Work
2 February 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Joe Johnston has chosen his followup project to last year's Captain America: The First Avenger and it's Not Safe For Work . The Hollywood Reporter says he'll helm the low-budget thriller for Blumhouse Pictures and Universal. Scripted by Simon Boyes and Adam Mason ( The Devil's Chair , Broken ), the project has a paralegal facing off against a killer from a rival corporation intent on destroying information in his office. To be shot for roughly two-and-a-half million dollars, Not Safe For Work should represent a very different kind of filmmaking than Johnston has shown in the past with films like The Wolfman , Jurassic Park III and Jumanji . »
Joe Johnston’s Next Movie Won’t Be Captain America 2
2 February 2012 12:33 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Joe Johnston, who directed for my money what was the best Marvel movie since 2008′s Iron Man with Captain America: The First Avenger, has chose his next film and won’t be a Steve Rogers sequel.
The Hollywood Reporter say Johnston has signed on to direct the low-budget thriller Not Safe For Work for Universal and Blumhouse Pictures.
Written by Brit writers Simon Boyes and Adam Mason (The Devil’s Chair, Broken), Not Safe For Work (although it might go with the title in letters, Nsfw) follows a paralegal facing off against a killer from a rival corporation intent on destroying important files.
Budgeted at just $2.5 million, the film is a complete left turn from Johnston who usually helms big profile $100 million pictures, his CV including The Wolfman, Jurassic Park III and Jumanji. He has challenged himself to helm a micro film and he has struck a healthy pay deal »

Daniel Radcliffe Reveals What Movies Give Him The Chills
31 January 2012 10:40 PM, PST | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
'Woman in Black' star tells MTV News the giant spiders in 'Jumanji' used to keep him up at night.
By Kevin P. Sullivan, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

For the star of an upcoming coming horror film, you might expect Daniel Radcliffe to know his way around the genre. But when it comes to movies that really scare the "Woman In Black" star, he doesn't exactly name the cream of the crop.
"'Jumanji,' funnily enough," Radcliffe admitted to MTV News' Josh Horowitz. "The giant spiders in 'Jumanji' freaked me out as a kid, because I used to wake up in the middle of the night thinking I was seeing them around me."
While the Robin Williams movie might not inspire nightmares for most people, it was enough to make an impression on the young Radcliffe. Not satisfied with his first answer, »
Extended Thoughts on A Christmas Carol
5 January 2012 8:23 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
All cinema is artifice. This isn’t a groundbreaking epiphany or statement, but the success of most movies hinges on the audience not taking that statement into account. But it’s true: all cinema is artifice of one kind or another. Even documentaries have some artificiality, because no matter how blisteringly true something from, say, Errol Morris is, he’s still shaped the raw footage he collected into a movie. Fictional films are far more artificial, depending on the content and presentation. Sometimes, if the director is shrewd enough, they can manipulate the audience in such a way that they’ve completely forgotten that they’re sitting in a darkened movie theater, so they believe they’re part of the movie they’re watching.
Robert Zemeckis used to be such a director. There was a time–back when he made movies with real people, not animation–when his movies felt »
