10 Other Fairy Tale Movies Coming to the Big Screen
1 June 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
The beautiful princess looking for love, the evil stepmother thwarting her every move, the handsome prince who comes to her rescue -- all are classic fairy tale characters that have come to life on the big screen, ever since the invention of movies.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" is just the latest cinematic re-telling of a classic fairy tale, following closely on the heels of the similarly Snow White-centric "Mirror Mirror." These types of films may be experiencing a renaissance, as there are many more movies based on fairy tales in the pipeline, with top talent attached. Here's a look at what's coming to a movie theater near you.
'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'
Mash up action, comedy, and horror in a movie produced by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, and you get Jeremy Renner as Hansel and Gemma Arterton as Gretel. This memorable title »

Tom Cruise’s Jack Reacher Movie is Now Officially Just Jack Reacher
30 May 2012 9:23 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Originally called “One Shot”, the first Tom Cruise adaptation of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series of books has now been officially titled simply, “Jack Reacher”. Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie (of “The Usual Suspects” and “Way of the Gun” fame), “One Shot” was also the original title of the Child book from which the movie will be based. The now-titled “Jack Reacher” would find Cruise playing former military investigator turned homeless paladin Jack Reacher righting wrongs one body at a time in the case of a crazed sniper from his past. Along the way, he finds himself in the middle of local city politics, a fight between a father and daughter, and the remnants of a deadly European gang led by The Zec (to be played by filmmaker Werner Herzog). Anyone who has read the Child books will realize that starting off the Jack Reacher adaptations with “One Shot »

Our weekly round-up of all the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Having made way for Disney's marketing blitz on The Avengers these past couple of months, Warner Bros. stepped up the promotional campaign for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises in a big way this week, flooding the world wide web with a host of Bat-related goodies. It began with a new theatrical poster, and while this left some fans underwhelmed, the studio more than made amends over the next few days, starting with six character posters showcasing Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy) and Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), along with a 'secret' Catwoman design that was discovered tucked away on the official website. Of course, this was just the beginning, and soon we had two new TV spots consisting of snippets of previously unseen footage, in addition to a whole raft of images featuring Bruce Wayne / Batman, »

The cast of The Munsters TV series reboot is starting to fill in and we now know who is playing the role of Eddie Munster. 11-year old Mason Cook (pictured below- Spy Kids 4D) has already built up a decent resume with roles in Criminal Minds, Desperate Housewives, The Middle, and Spy Kid 4D, and Deadline revealed that he has been officially hired to play Lily and Herman’s werewolf son.
Eddie Izzard was the first actor to join the cast of Mockingbird Lane as Grandpa, and Charity Wakefield will be playing the only “normal” member of the family, Marilyn.

Gabriel Byrne Joins History Channel’s ‘Vikings’
22 May 2012 6:31 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Well, this should certainly help legitimize History Channel’s first original series, Vikings. It looks as though the series about Norsemen, their various raids and the people who love them, has signed Golden Globe-winning actor Gabriel Byrne to portray Earl Haraldson, a high-ranking Viking leader who takes a particular dislike to ambitious upstart Ragnar Lothbrok.
Byrne should be familiar to audiences from films like Miller’s Crossing and The Usual Suspects. In addition to his many film roles, Byrne also headed up the critically-acclaimed HBO series In Treatment, from 2008-2010, and will also be taking a major role in the upcoming UK series Coup – though no word on whether or not that series has any plans to air in the U.S.
Vikings, meanwhile, will consist of a 10-episode season that tells the story of historical figure Ragnar Lothbrok. According to ...

“The Wolverine” Starts Filming in August
21 May 2012 2:12 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Hugh Jackman announced on his Twitter today that The Wolverine will start filming in August, JoBlo reports. After Darren Aronofsky unfortunately dropped out because of scheduling difficulties, The Wolverine has struggled to get traction. But it looks like it has, as James Mangold (Girl, Interrupted) has taken the reins on the project as director, with Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) the man behind the script. The film is set to cover Wolverine’s Japanese/Samurai years, and while Aronofsky would’ve Killed it, I’m excited to see Jackman’s Wolvy once again, and Mangold and McQuarrie have solid resumes. And because movies have release dates before they’ve even started filming (stupidly, I might add), we can expect The Wolverine to come out July 26, 2013. »

8 Awesome First Images from Alex Cross with Matthew Fox, Tyler Perry & Ed Burns
18 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Alex Cross will be Matthew Fox like we’ve never seen him before. These first images show Fox as an utter killing machine, armed to the teeth with just his bare muscles (and also a gun).
After Morgan Freeman played the role of Dr. Alex Cross in the first two adaptations of James Patterson’s series of books, Tyler Perry will now be front and centre as the detective tasked to track down the killer.
“After Washington DC detective Alex Cross is told that a family member has been murdered, he vows to track down the killer. He soon discovers that she was not his first victim and that things are not what they seem.”
Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) is behind the camera, with a script co-written by Marc Moss (Along Came a Spider) and Kerry Williamson, adapting Patterson’s 2006 novel, Cross.

First Look At Kevin Spacey In The Chinese Dramedy 'Inseperable'
15 May 2012 10:21 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While actor Kevin Spacey has been hard at work assembling the new series “House of Cards” with fellow producer David Fincher at Netflix, he’s also finding time to join the ranks of talent like Christian Bale in the recent “The Flowers of War” and Hugh Jackman in “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan,” A-Listers starring in a Chinese movie featuring both Mandarin and English languages.
The “American Beauty” and “The Usual Suspects” Academy Award winner hit China’s theaters just this past weekend in the “Super”-esque superhero drama “Inseparable,” directed by Beijing based helmer Dayyan Eng. "Inseparable” follows the monotonous day-to-day routine of Li (Daniel Wu) as he wears his suit and tie and works a quirky job at a prosthetic-limb company. After the desperate nature of his life begins to haunt him, Li decides to commit suicide, but just as he's going to hang himself in the living room, »

Why the world needs Val Kilmer
11 May 2012 7:38 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He could have been another Brad Pitt. Instead he's doing one-man stage shows. Is it time for a rescue plan?
For some time now, I have belonged to a secret society known as the League of Rueful Val Kilmer Enthusiasts. It consists of men of a certain age who adore Tombstone and Heat, and who also have a soft spot for The Doors and The Ghost and the Darkness. And, of course, Top Gun. What unites the members of the league is our affection for the actor himself, mingled with regret that Kilmer did not become the intergalactically famous star we wanted him to be. We also resent the fact that he did not make more movies like Heat while he was young and athletic enough to pull it off.
Because now it is too late. Kilmer has reached the point in his career where he is performing in a one-man show called Citizen Twain, »

Move Over 'The Avengers,' Clark Gregg Joins Jason Reitman’s 'Labor Day'
9 May 2012 7:57 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Long relegated to post-credit sequences and scene-stealing bit parts as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson in the Marvel movies, it was nice to see actor Clark Gregg gain a little more screen time in this past weekend’s superhero brouhaha “The Avengers.” Granted, the silver screen was still mostly dedicated to the sweaty, muscle-bound (sometimes green) dudes in spandex, but Gregg had more than his share of moments, and has been consistently good with small parts in films like “(500) Days of Summer” and “The Usual Suspects.” He’s a bit part character actor who deserves a movie all his own – in fact he’s been in a few diverting short films entitled “Marvel One-Shots” centered on Agent Coulson—but for now he’s looking to move into some promising adult fare.
THR is now reporting that he’s joining an 'Avengers'-like acting super team in the form of “Young Adult” helmer Jason Reitman’s “Labor Day, »

'Lunch At Hooters With George Lucas': Clark Gregg Looks Back
30 April 2012 7:37 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Clark Gregg, who plays Agent Coulson in a little movie called "Marvel's The Avengers," stopped by the Huffington Post offices on Monday for a chat. Oh, we spoke about "The Avengers." A lot. Which you'll have the chance to read on Tuesday. But, while Gregg was here, he also took the time to reflect on his days as a character actor in a slew of different projects that range from Indiana Jones to "The Usual Suspects" to "Sex and the City."
Ahead, the first memories that came Gregg's mind when asked about his diverse resume.
"The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"
"Lunch at Hooters with George Lucas."
"Maybe the worst work I ever did, and the closest I ever came to getting fired in the presence of one of my childhood heroes. I wasn't funny. It wasn't a funny line and I couldn't make it funny. And I was super nervous. »

Tom Cruise’s ‘One Shot’ Preview Hints That a Kick Ass Adaptation May Be Within Reach
24 April 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Lee Child‘s Jack Reacher series of novels continue to hit the bestseller lists, and this December they’ll get their first crack at the box office when One Shot hits theaters. The film is about an ex-mp who gets caught up in murder investigation when a military sniper kills five seemingly random civilians. The film is written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, The Way of the Gun) and co-stars Richard Jenkins, Rosamund Pike, Robert Duvall, and Werner Freaking Herzog as a villain. Oh, and it stars Tom Cruise in the lead role as Jack Reacher. It’s that last bit that continues to rile fans of Child’s books as the recurring character is consistently described as a 6’5″ monster of a man whose physical presence plays a role in his every encounter. Some readers just don’t think Cruise is up to the task. But footage from the film has just screened at »

CinemaCon: First Footage From Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher Movie Screened!
24 April 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
One of the biggest surprises at Paramount's CinemaCon presentation was when they decided to show some of the first footage from Tom Cruise's upcoming stint as Lee Child's popular crime novel character Jack Reacher, who has appeared in sixteen books to date. For a long time, the movie was called One Shot , the title of Child's ninth Jack Reacher book, but those words were never to be said or seen during the presentation, so there's a good chance the movie is now merely called "Jack Reacher." Or maybe they're still trying to figure that out. Co-written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who most may know as the writer of The Usual Suspects and who hasn't directed a movie since 2000's Way of the Gun , the movie had been kept fairly quiet while shooting in Pittsburgh »
Titanic 3D Box Office: $2 Billion Worldwide

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. »

Mockingbird Lane, the reboot of The Munsters TV series, is set to begin filming in June. Two roles have already been cast, and we have new details on possible Universal Monsters appearing on the show, along with some concept art.
The newest issue of Entertainment Weekly talks about the upcoming show, and while it has previously been said that it will be edgier than the original, series creator Bryan Fuller mentions that it is still family-friendly: “We want this to be an American Harry Potter… It’s an American Horror Story the whole family can watch.”
The magazine also notes that Fuller hopes to include other classic horror chracters from the Universal library, including the Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Invisible Man.
Eddie Izzard was the first actor to join the cast of Mockingbird Lane as Grandpa. Charity Wakefield will be playing the only “normal” member of the family, »

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 Hunger Games Box Office: Titanic 3D, American Reunion?
6 April 2012 8:20 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic The Hunger Games will easily top the North American box office once again this weekend — its third time as no. 1 — according to Deadline.com's "sources." As per Deadline's early, rough estimates, The Hunger Games is expected to collect $12-$14 million on Friday, and could reach $40 million over the Easter weekend. If so, Gary Ross' movie would be down close to 30% compared to last weekend — or less than half its drop-off rate last (non-holiday) weekend. It seems that Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg's American Reunion will be the no. 2 movie on Friday, with somewhere between $8-$10 million at 3,192 locations, and an estimated $25 million by Sunday evening. That includes $660,000 earned at Thursday midnight screenings in North America. If those estimates are correct, Universal will claim that American Reunion far surpassed the $18.7 million earned by the original American Pie at 2,508 sites in 1999.
