Paranormal Activity Gets a Digital Comic Book

10 December 2009 9:23 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

[This Article Contains Paranormal Activity Spoilers]

Man, I can’t wait to see the heads of those of you who Hated Paranormal Activity (about 50% of the audience) explode!

Paranormal Activity has inspired an online comic book from Idw Publishing, written by comic book industry veteran Scott Lobdell (Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four, Wild C.A.T.S.), which has appeared in shiny polished digital format over at iTunes.

 

If you thought that Paranormal Activity was a boring-as-hell movie about nothing, then you’re probably wondering to yourself how that premise – a young couple haunted by a demonic spirit – ever translated to the comic book page.

Entitled The Search for Katie, the online comic follows [Spoiler Alert] the demonologist mentioned but never seen in the film, as he searches for Paranormal Activity main character Katie, following her possession by the demon. Here’s the official synopsis, courtesy of Shock Til You Drop:

Katie has gone missing. And Dr. Johann Averys, »

The Best Films of the Decade (aka "The Naughties")

Best Films Of The Decade (aka The Naughties) From Alex & Terry

List # 1

By Alex Simon

When Terry and I initially discussed writing these lists, I had a tough time thinking back on 20 films over the past decade which I was really taken with, thinking that movies have sunk so low over the past ten years, that even choosing a dozen would be a short-order job. Thirty minutes into it, my list had nearly 60 titles! After much cutting, pasting, and re-cutting and pasting, here are my top 20 films (in no particular order) of the first decade of the 21st century, dubbed by many as “the naughties.” --A.S.

1.No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers, 2007) An elegiac blend of stark beauty and full-throttle despair from two of our finest filmmakers, set in the contemporary American West. Every frame is damn near flawless, and would have been an even more perfect vehicle for the late Sam Peckinpah. »

Kristen Stewart's 'Welcome To The Rileys' Role Is Only The Latest Fictional Stripper In Hollywood

7 December 2009 2:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

With pictures of Kristen Stewart as a stripper in the upcoming Sundance player "Welcome to the Rileys" hitting the Internet last week, we decided to take a look back at five Hollywood actresses who starred as a stripper in the past, and how the decision impacted their careers. Some were launched into success stories, while others took a sharp downward turn. Hopefully, Stewart will take some pointers from those who came before her and avoid squashing the success "The Twilight Saga" has given her. If that's even possible.

One unusual fact that's worth noting: three of the five names on this list -- Demi Moore, Lindsay Lohan and Heather Graham -- all followed up their stripper appearances with roles in the Emilio Estevez-directed film, "Bobby." It's hard to say what that means, though three counts as a trend. Apparently, fake stripping drives female actors to Emilio Estevez. Go figure. »

Secret Identity: Five Actors Who Could Play Hawkeye In Marvel's 'Avengers' Movie

3 December 2009 1:32 PM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Unless actor Jeremy Renner is getting his information from a parallel universe, it's sounding likely that Hawkeye has a role in Marvel's upcoming movie slate. Still, even Renner is quick to admit that while he's discussed the role with Marvel, he's not a lock for the part.

Assuming the role exists and is still available, it's worth wondering what type of actor would be best-suited for Clint Barton. I don't think the part requires an action hero body, though an athletic physique is a must. Barton also has to be equal parts charming and arrogant without sacrificing his heroic qualities — and he's got to be awesome with a bow and arrow, but that's where pre-production training comes in!

Keeping those prerequisites in mind, I think the following five actors would be right on the mark for Hawkeye.

Our 10 Favorite Stan Lee Cameos

3 December 2009 3:20 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

For someone about to turn 87 (Dec. 28), Stan Lee sure gets around. Not that this is news to anyone who’s been to a Comic-Con in the past decade or watches talk shows with any degree of regularity. From what we can gather, the only thing Lee loves more than adding exclamation points to his comics is appearing on-screen.

While his appearances used to be limited to what he could talk himself into, Lee's been seemingly everywhere this decade — ever since the explosion of Marvel properties being adapted into movies. Well, everywhere for about 15 seconds a movie.

With all the talk surrounding his upcoming cameo in Iron Man 2 (and an almost-for-certain appearance in Spider-Man 4), we decided to take a look back at his best appearances so far. Check out Our 10 Favorite Stan Lee Cameos.

Alba Cuts Sugar From Daughter's Diet

2 December 2009 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Jessica Alba refuses to give her toddler Honor sugary drinks, insisting sodas and juices are not healthy for the tot.

The protective new mum, who gave birth to her daughter in June 2008, insists she wants to make sure Honor has a healthy outlook on life.

She says, "She doesn't have sugar at all; she doesn't even have fruit juice. She has, like, three-quarters celery or cucumber juice with a little bit of apple juice - that's the most sugar she's ever had. I know it's crazy but... she doesn't know. She's like, 'Cucumber juice - awesome!'"

And the Fantastic Four star also insists her child doesn't stay indoors, staring at a television screen.

She adds, "She plays outside with toys... She doesn't really watch TV at all." »

Alba Learns She's European

2 December 2009 11:21 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Sexy Latina Jessica Alba was left shocked and stunned on U.S. TV on Tuesday night when she learned she's more European than native American.

The Fantastic Four star agreed to take a DNA test prior to her appearance on comedian George Lopez's late-night show, and felt sure genealogy experts would discover her ancestors were more indigenous American than any other group.

Lopez sent his guest's saliva swab off to the DNA Diagnostics Center in Cincinnati, Ohio - and revealed the results during Alba's appearance.

He told the actress, "You are 13 per cent indigenous American and you are 87 per cent European."

A shocked Alba responded, "Really? Wow!"

With her mother and father watching from the studio audience, the actress added, "That's crazy... Does Spain count, because Alba comes from Spain...? Is Spain Latina?"

Lopez agreed to hand over all the DNA test results in private, so Alba, whose mother is French and Danish, could learn more about her genealogy.

Last month, Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David agreed to hand over his DNA for testing prior to an appearance on Lopez Tonight - and he discovered he is partially native American. »

This Marvel Theme Park Art Is So Cool It Gives Me Brain-Freeze

2 December 2009 6:14 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Another day, another "What If?" to ponder... and this time around, it's a very big deal. ($1 billion big, in fact.)

Concept art from the planned Marvel Super-Heroes theme park in Dubai recently popped up online, and while the article seems to infer that the stalled project is still moving forward, I'm content to simply appreciate the art for what it represents: a pretty ambitious, glorious mecca of all-things superhero.

Posted over on the Disney and More blog, the dozen-or-so pieces of art from the Dubai theme park offer a peek at designs for more than $1 billion in attractions, divided into several sections, as well as some conceptual art for rides themed around specific Marvel characters.

"The Marvel Super-Heroes theme park project was supposed to open in 2011 with an investment of over $1 billion Usd but apparently it seems that it will open now in 2012," reports the site, which also notes some »

Writer Vows 'Silver Surfer' Movie Still Happening

1 December 2009 10:11 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Silver Surfer shows/showed a lot of potential as a movie character but he drew the short straw of being featured in the Fantastic Four sequel, which, while a substantial form of punishment, is not a death sentence. We already knew Fox wanted to reboot the Fantastic franchise, but now there's word that the Silver Surfer may rise again.

Ninja Assassin co-writer J. Michael Straczynski cleared up some confusion about Surfer in a recent e-mail to Latino Review. While it would be easy to interpret the situation with FF2 as being the end of the road for a spin-off character, Straczynski says Surfer is alive and well. »

Silver Surfer Solo Movie Not Dead

1 December 2009 8:11 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

So what some thought was dead is apparently a miscommunication. Say it ain’t so you mean something can get misconstrued on the internet? Anyway, sarcasm aside, Collider in an interview with Silver Surfer writer J. Michael Straczynski, quoted him saying “if they do a Silver Surfer film down the road, it’ll have to be its own separate thing.”

Thats a confusing statement and it got misconstrued with internet reports that the Silver Surfer spin-off movie was dead mainly because Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer didn’t do as well as Fox wanted.

Now, Straczynski emailed our pals Latino Review and explained that it’s not dead its just being screwed around with by Fox who is going a different route and having someone else write a script for them instead of using his.

We didn’t report on the earlier news because we are lazy and »

'Silver Surfer' Movie's Not Dead, But Is J. Michael Straczynski Still Involved?

1 December 2009 6:44 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

The reports of the Silver Surfer's death are greatly exaggerated, according to screenwriter and comic book author J. Michael Straczynski.

In a recent interview, the "Ninja Assassin" scribe revealed that he wasn't sure what the status of the "Silver Surfer" movie was following the announced decision to reboot the "Fantastic Four" property. Now, Straczynski is clarifying his comments, beginning with the widespread reports that the "Silver Surfer" movie has been benched.

"When I was asked about the Silver Surfer script, I responded about the one I'd written around the time that ['Fantastic Four 2'] was launched, and was designed to pick up where that one left off," said the writer in an e-mail to IGN.

"When FF2 didn't do as well as hoped for, the script was set aside, but that has Nothing to do with the Silver Surfer script that is Now under development at Fox with other folks," he added. »

Last week Collider interviewed writer Joe Straczynski who said that in his version of the Silver Surfer script the action would take place after the events of Fantastic Four 2. As 20th Century Fox are looking to reboot the franchise there is a chance his script won’t be made into a movie, however Straczynski posted [...] »

'Silver Surfer' Is Not Dead

30 November 2009 1:56 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

"Ninja Assassin" writer J. Michael Straczynski cleared up some confusion regarding the "Silver Surfer" standalone project that was once thought to be Doa. Here's what he wrote in an email:"When I was asked about the Silver Surfer script, I responded about the one I'd written around the time that FF2 was launched, and was designed to pick up where that one left off. When FF2 didn't do as well as hoped for, that script was set aside, but that has Nothing to do with the Silver Surfer script that is Now under development at Fox with other folks. As far as I know, that is proceeding apace. So the hysteria that's gripped the nets about 'ohmygod the Surfer movie is dead!' is not correct, as I was again referring to only that one specific script tied into FF2, Not what's being done now."

The Return of Jessica Alba?

30 November 2009 10:32 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Sure, some would suggest that Jessica Alba really can't return to form since there never was a form to begin with. But there definitely was a time when Alba was an "It" girl -- the type to grace numerous magazine covers and star in big, flashy films like Sin City and The Fantastic Four. But then her star began to fade as she clumsily starred in one cruddy flick after another (Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck, The Eye, Awake, The Love Guru), and with other, more sensational young actresses attempting to make their mark in Hollywood, Alba sort of fell by the wayside.

But now the gal has positioned herself with a few pretty interesting upcoming projects, including two produced by Robert Rodriguez (Machete, The Insiders), one that's based on a very good novel (An Invisible Sign of My Own) and one that finds the actress taking things farther »
