Guillermo del Toro's animated project Day of the Dead becomes Book of Life and finds its director
13 December 2012 12:47 AM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
To be fair, Guillermo del Toro actually has more than one animated project in the works as we speak - from what I understand, every Tuesday he goes to Dreamworks Animation and consults with them on their projects, and has his own original pieces in the works as well. But Book Of Life is something different, something separate, that he's working on in conjunction with Fox Animation Studios (The Fantastic Mr. Fox, Titan A.E., Anastasia). Originally titled Day Of The Dead »

John August to adapt Wonder for Lionsgate
27 November 2012 3:10 AM, PST | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Lionsgate is apparently in final negotiations to pick up R.J. Palacio's best seller Wonder with John August adapting for the bigscreen. David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing via Mandeville Films, reports Variety. Wonder tells of Auggie, ten-year-old boy with a facial deformity that prevented him from attending a mainstream school. Now, starting fifth grade at a new school, he battles to convince schoolmates that he's like them, despite his appearance. The story explores bullying and is told from various points of view. Lionsgate had no comment as the deal hasn't closed as yet. August has previously written screenplays for films like Titan A.E., Charlie's Angels, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Johnny Depp starrer Dark Shadows as well as the recent Tim Burton animation Frankenweenie. »

Freakishly Clever: A Tim Burton Profile (Part 4)
22 November 2012 10:15 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg profiles the career of filmmaker Tim Burton in the fourth of a four part feature... read part one, two and three.
Life intersected with art when Tim Burton chose to make a cinematic adaptation of Big Fish by novelist Daniel Wallace; Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) lies on his death bed recounting his youthful adventures to his estranged son William (Billy Crudup). “My father had been ill for a while,” confided the filmmaker, “I tried to get in touch with him, to have, like in this film, some sort of resolution, but it was impossible.” Not all was lost for Burton. “I went back to thinking about my father, and as bad a relationship as I had, early on it was quite magical…It’s important to remember that. I forgot that for too long.” The director added, “I think it’s a thing where everybody loses a parent and, »

Weekend Box Office: 'Snow White And The Huntsman' Bucks Poor Tracking Worries, The 'Avengers' Breaks Two More All-Time Records
3 June 2012 9:07 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Maybe that sequel will happen after all. Very clever, Universal. First, you announce that "Snow White and the Huntsman" is tracking a bit weak, possibly in the low 30s. Then, there's a "leak" that you've backtracked on a sequel since getting David Koepp to pen a follow-up. And now, with reports that 'Huntsman' may have actually connected with the young males they were trying to entice, registering a $55 million opening, there's great rejoicing for the film, particularly in the wake of the absolutely pathetic "Battleship" returns.
There are a couple of narratives here, most of them involving Universal dodging a major bullet. One, obviously, is a victory over the opposing Snow White film, with "Mirror Mirror" only collecting $63 million domestic, a number 'Huntsman' should reach by midweek. Another is a big debut for a film with three relatively untested leads, all of whom see their profiles raised considerably. Following "Thor" and "The Avengers, »

Fox Animation to make The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
1 May 2012 1:40 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Fox Animation has had a bit of a bumpy ride, with neither of the animated movies it made in its first go around (Anastasia, Titan A.E.) doing particularly good business. After being closed down in the summer of 2000, the success of Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs inspired Fox to let the studio have another go and under the sort-of-new name 20th Century Fox Animation. Fantastic Mr. Fox then proved to be a genuine hit for the studio, both critically and commercially, and as part of its »

'The Avengers' Director Joss Whedon Is Robert Downey Jr's Hero
27 April 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Even if you haven't heard of Joss Whedon, you've likely heard of his work. The same man behind "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly" also wrote the screenplays for "Toy Story," "Titan A.E.," "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and "Alien: Resurrection," wrote, directed and funded "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" out of his own pocket, co-wrote the darkly hilarious movie "The Cabin in the Woods" and did a run on the comic book series "Astonishing X-Men."
Because of his previous work, Whedon was uniquely qualified to write and direct "Marvel's The Avengers." Even though Marvel really wanted him at the helm of their ambitious project, it took some convincing to get him to accept. Apparently Whedon wasn’t too impressed with the initial script that "X-Men: The Last Stand" writer, Zak Penn, showed him.
"They showed me a script and I said, ‘I don't see a movie here,'" Whedon told The »

The Lost, Forgotten & Undersung Projects Of Joss Whedon
11 April 2012 8:04 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Joss Whedon is about to have a very good week. The writer/director/producer has, until recently, been best known for his work on television: he turned his poorly-received screenwriting debut "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" into one of the most beloved cult series of all times (which itself got a long-running spin-off, "Angel"), and followed it up with the short-lived but passionately followed sci-fi Western "Firefly," a show that lasted a single season, but managed to get its own cinematic sequel, "Serenity," which marked Whedon's big-screen directorial debut.
Until now, "Serenity" has been the director's best-known entry into the movies, but that's all about to change. He wrote and produced the inspired, raucous horror flick "The Cabin In The Woods," which hits theaters on Friday, and tonight sees the world premiere of "The Avengers," the Marvel superhero team-up movie that is one of the most keenly anticipated films of the year, »
