Charlie Sheen Going Full Latino for Machete Kills
24 May 2013 10:54 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Sure, most of TMZ's stories revolve around rappers getting busting for one thing or another and the latest exploits of the Kardashians, but when we saw this latest news about Robert Rodriguez's Matchete Kills and the name under which Charlie Sheen is being credited, well, we just had to share!
Per the tabloid, Sheen has apparently decided he's too Caucasian to star in the new Machete film so he's channeling his Latino roots and changing his name back to Carlos Estevez... at least for now. TMZ obtained the below screengrab from the upcoming flick that shows Sheen will use his birth name, the first time in his professional career he won't be billed as Charlie Sheen.
Sheen’s dad, Martin, was born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estevez but never changed it legally, passing "Estevez" on to all four of his kids, including, of course, Emilio, who has retained the family name throughout his career. »

Here's the latest Austin film news.
The New York Times profiled the Austin film scene in Sunday's edition and interviewed locally based industry heavy hitters like Richard Linklater, Elizabeth Avellan, Bryan Poyser (Elizabeth's interview) and Andrew Bujalski (Jordan's interview), among others. Worth a look for the photos alone.Speaking of Linklater, he has now filed suit against his insurance company, alleging breach of contract, The Austin Chronicle reports. His Paige, Texas property, near Bastrop, which housed scripts, production materials, publicity information, among other movie memorabilia, was damaged in 2011's wildfires. More more Linklater: Filmmaker Gabe Klinger has created a Kickstarter campaign for his documentary about the Austin filmmaker and director James Benning, according to Filmmaker Magazine. The project will only be funded if at least $25,000 is pledged by June 8. More than $8,000 has been raised so far. More than 65 research fellowships have been awarded by The University of Texas Harry Ransom »

From Dusk Till Dawn The Series in the Works
14 May 2013 12:14 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
There are still some of us out there who haven't quite recovered from the painful boners brought about by Santanico Pandemonium's snake dancing scene from the original 1996 flick From Dusk Till Dawn, though the insipid sequels definitely helped. However, we may just be getting cursed again.
According to Broadcasting and Cable, Univision has formed a strategic partnership with El Rey Network, which is chaired by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Till Dawn, Spy Kids), and Factory Media, Univision president Cesar Conde announced during the company's Upfront presentation in New York City on Tuesday.
Noting Univision's partnerships with ABC and Participant Media, Conde introduced the “new partnership” with El Rey and introduced Rodriguez, who touted a series for the programming service based on his film From Dusk Till Dawn, which he will write, produce, and direct.
El Rey is set to launch at the end of the year via Comcast. Univision »

Jessica Alba stole her parents' car when she was 12. The 'Sin City' actress has revealed she was a wild child and drove her parents crazy with her rebellious antics, including going for joy rides in the family car and drinking alcohol when she was just 11. In a joint interview with her mother Cathy on 'Entertainment Tonight', the 32-year-old screen beauty confessed she and a boyfriend experimented with alcohol, saying: 'We accidentally drank Wild Turkey [whiskey]. How old was I? 11?' The star's mum retorted: 'It's a little shocking. You drank Wild Turkey in sixth grade?!' But the 'Spy Kids 4' actress' list of offences don't end there - she also admitted to taking her parents' car out for »
'We lost a legend': Ray Harryhausen remembered by Depp, Abrams, del Toro, Gilliam, more

As news spread Tuesday that Ray Harryhausen had died at age 92 there was an especially emotional reaction from sci-fi, horror and fantasy filmmakers — a community with a deep and formative affection for the old-school effects wizard and the work he did on films such as The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad and Clash of the Titans (1981). EW reached out to some signature names in those circles on Tuesday to frame the legacy of Harryhausen and by phone and email they responded with praise for a departed master.

Meanwhile, daughter Paige did some snooping of her own, checking out the laundry room where her mother claimed to be folding clothes in the middle of the night.

The Shocking Way Jessica Alba Got Her Body Back After Having A Baby
25 April 2013 12:04 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Jessica Alba's secret to her hot post-baby body? A girdle.
The mother-of-two is currently featured in Net-a-Porter's weekly digital magazine, The Edit, and dished about her secrets to looking good. As an expectant mother herself, The Edit reporter had to ask Alba how she got back her amazing body after having a child.
Apparently, Alba strapped herself into a girdle for months after giving birth (in 2008 to Honor and in 2011 to Haven). “It was brutal; it’s not for everyone,” she said. “I wore a double corset day and night for three months. It was sweaty, but worth it.”
This isn't the first time the 31-year-old has discussed her unusual post-baby techniques. Back in 2011, Alba chatted with Lucky magazine about her girdle. “I wear a girdle around my tummy from the moment I give birth until it doesn’t feel loosely goosey anymore—that takes a good two to three months, »

Shia Labeouf and Robert De Niro Will Betray America in Spy’s Kid
23 April 2013 8:10 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
That’s “Spy’s Kid”, not “Spy Kids”. From the sounds of it, the film is a gritty look at the world of espionage and traitors, so it’ll be a curious thing if they stick with the title because it instantly brings up images of the silly Robert Rodriguez franchise about spy kids. Or at least, it did for me. I mean, there were 60 of those movies, after all. In any case, D.J. Caruso is currently in talks to direct “Spy’s Kid”, with Robert De Niro and Shia Labeouf also in talks to play a real-life father-and-son spy duo that sold America’s secrets to its enemies, thus ensuring their family back-to-back wins for “Worst Americans … Ever” Award. The movie will be based on a 6-part article by Bryan Denson that was originally published back in 2011: Jim Nicholson was a 20-year CIA vet who in 1996 was convicted »

Casting Couch: Robert De Niro and Shia Labeouf Could Be Father and Son, Jason Sudeikis and Rose Byrne Will Fall in Love, and More

What is Casting Couch? Your daily dose of casting news. Today we’ve got a new job for Viola Davis as well as word on who the next actor to mutate for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past will be. According to Heat Vision, Robert De Niro and Shia Labeouf are both in negotiations to take the starring roles in an upcoming espionage thriller called Spy’s Kid. That’s, Spy’s Kid, not Spy Kids, which is something totally different. What’s this one about? It’s based on the true story of a CIA operative named Jim Nicholson who was convicted of espionage and sentenced to 23 years in prison, but who kept the family business alive by teaching his son how to ply his trade from jail. Shady deals with Russian operatives followed. Alongside De Niro and Labeouf negotiating to star, Labeouf’s Disturbia director DJ Caruso is also negotiating to direct, and »

D.J. Caruso to Direct Espionage Thriller ‘Spy’s Kid;’ De Niro & Labeouf in Talks
22 April 2013 3:50 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
In 2007, director D.J. Caruso scored a significant hit with the Rear Window-esque Disturbia. Though neither of his follow-up films (Eagle Eye and I Am Number Four) achieved quite the net profit of Disturbia, Caruso has proven himself a reliable director of glossy crowd-pleasers.
Caruso has long associated with thrillers, though his next likely production could contain an interesting twist – it’s based on a true story. The director is apparently all but attached to direct the upcoming Spy’s Kid, a true-life tale of espionage (not to be confused with Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids).
The Hollywood Reporter shares the scoop that Caruso is in final negotiations with Paramount to direct Spy’s Kid. The project may well reunite Caruso with Disturbia and Eagle Eye star Shia Labeouf, who is in talks to headline the film. Robert ...

'42' Goes to Bat Against 'Scary Movie 5' This Weekend
11 April 2013 4:44 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
This weekend, Jackie Robinson biopic 42 faces off against the fifth installment in the long-dormant Scary Movie franchise, with both titles targeting around $20 million. The winner will take first place on what should be another good overall weekend.Sports drama 42, produced by Legendary Pictures, tells the true story of baseball legend Jackie Robinson's challenging first season for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. The story is inherently compelling*Robinson was the first African-American to play on a Major League Baseball team, and remains an important figure in American civil rights history*and Warner Bros.' marketing has done a very good job highlighting the drama while also making the movie look exciting. One key component has been the use of Jay-z song "Brooklyn (We Go Hard)," which seems like it was written specifically for the movie.From an opening weekend perspective, the biggest drawback for the movie is its genre: the top »

April Box Office Preview
3 April 2013 4:11 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Coming off an underwhelming first quarter at the domestic box office, it's unlikely that April 2013 will do much to turn things around. With only seven new nationwide releases*one of which is a 3D re-release*the major studios are mostly avoiding April, and that should translate to moderate grosses. April 2011, which had 13 nationwide debuts, holds the April record with $793 million, which is a figure that's completely out of reach for the upcoming month.April 5The first weekend of April features one remake and one re-release, and both are poised to do decent business. Jurassic Park 3D is the third major live-action 3D re-release following last year's Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3D and Titanic 3D. Both were modest domestic performers*Titanic was tops with $57.9 million*though Titanic at least proved that there can be major upside overseas. Specifically, the movie earned an incredible $145 million in China; while »

Attack of the Trilogies
2 April 2013 6:49 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
E. B. White once wrote, “Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.” Analyzing trilogies seems to the same. The entire point is to enjoy them. Still, given the many sins to be found in film, there are worse things than movie trilogies but few have become more prominent or unavoidable. In terms of definitions, a trilogy only means three “individual” (animated, live-action, etc.) films are tied together which leaves a lot of room in seeing something as a trilogy.
Currently, negative reviews over trilogies highlight how easily and predictably they start off well but soon degenerate at a rapid pace. Then, too, there cases where once was good enough and added treatments are not welcome. David Lynch’s Dune thankfully has not become a trilogy though it sits there waiting to be given birth. In rare cases, yes, a trilogy may be badly called for. »

2 April 2013 12:52 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
London, Apr il 2(Ani): Jessica Alba has revealed that her oldest daughter gets confused when she sees her mother on screen and thinks of her Hollywood career as a game of dressing-up.
The 31-year-old actress said that her 4-year-old daughter, Honor, had seen only one of her films and that was weird for her, the Daily Express reported.
Alba asserted that when she played a mum in 'Spy Kids', her daughter asked if her onscreen child was her real baby.
"I was a mum in Spy Kids and she asked, 'Is that your real baby?' So I said, 'Do you really think that?' And she replied, 'Were you playing dress-up again?'" Alba said.
