Ever since the success of the film adaptation of the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, almost a decade ago Hollywood has endlessly been looking for the next big thing in adapting teen-adventure novels. They hit pay dirt last year with the adaptation of Stephanie Myer's teen-vampire book Twilight which has started a chair-reaction of vampire knock-offs throughout pop-culture. Now Universal may have discovered the perfect blend of Harry Potter meets Twilight in the film version of Darren Shan's popular books, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, opening in theaters on October 23rd. We recently had the opportunity to speak with John C. Reilly, Chris Massoglia and Salma Hayek and they gave us an inside look at this freaky new family film.

The power of Michael Jackson lives on - and it's proving enough to conquer the mystical might of the Lord of the Rings.
The late singer's upcoming concert movie Michael Jackson's This Is It has overtaken Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - the first film in Peter Jackson's trilogy - in a league table of films with the highest advance ticket sales of all time.
MovieTickets.com said This Is It had knocked The Fellowship of the Ring of the 25th place in the chart.
The Jacko film documents the star's preparations for his planned 50-date concert series and will be released on October 28. Sony Pictures edited hundreds of hours of rehearsal footage to create the movie after paying $60million for the film rights.
A Michael Jackson single and album with the same title are also set to be released.

With $667 million in overseas ticket sales, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has become the third highest-grossing movie of all time behind only Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Over the weekend, the animated feature overtook Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The movie has performed far more robustly on the foreign market than it has on the domestic, which it has grossed almost $195 million. Its combined domestic/overseas gross of $667 million puts it at No. 18 on the all-time worldwide chart. »

On the foreign front, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has officially become the third highest-grossing movie of all time. The animated comedy edged out Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to rank behind Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Worldwide (which combines both foreign and domestic grosses), it currently stands at No. 18 on the all time chart, just shy of Finding Nemo, which it will soon surpass. The third Ice Age has made over $667 million thus far, accounting for a whopping 77 percent of its $862 million worldwide total. That's the greatest foreign ratio for an American blockbuster on record, exceeding such foreign favorites as the Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code movies. Based on its domestic run, Dawn of the Dinosaurs may seem like an unlikely contender for any all time chart. Despite the ticket price boost of its 3D presentations, its domestic gross is under $195 million, »

Most of this industry is obsessed with the domestic box office results, but we can't forget that overseas box office results are just as important as well. While we don't normally care about box office numbers, this was just too shocking. As of this moment, Titanic is the #1 overseas box office earner, at $1.24 billion, followed by Return of the King at $742 million. This week, the #3 spot, currently held by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, will be overtaken by one of this year's releases. What is it? Not what you think. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has passed $657.5 million at the overseas box office. Are you kidding me?! Here's the really messed up part of this story. Ice Age 3 (as it's better known) has only made $194 million in the Us (ranked #7 for this year domestically). And it has a 44% on Rotten ... »

Terry Gilliam is relieved he was snubbed by studio bosses as a director for the first Harry Potter movie - because he would hate to work in a film "factory".
The former Monty Python legend was J.K. Rowling's first choice to helm Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2000, but Warner Bros. studios decided to go with Chris Columbus.
At the time, Gilliam was furious - denouncing Columbus' work as "terrible" and "pedestrian".
But looking back, the 12 Monkeys moviemaker is glad he was overlooked - insisting he couldn't have handled studio bosses meddling with his work over revenue fears.
He tells Total Film magazine, "That was one of my lucky moments. I would have gone crazy. It's a f**king factory, working on Harry Potter. It is. The studios are staking everything on the success of those movies.
"It was way too expensive. Too much at stake. So they (studio bosses) interfere. It's about serving something higher than yourself. It's the film. The film is God and I'm worshipping... while I'm making it I become a zealot. Basically, I'm a like a suicide bomber when it comes to my films!" »

Rupert Grint celebrates his 21st birthday as midnight has approached the UK! We have watched Rupert grow for the past 10 years and it's been a fun ride! Going from the young boy in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", to playing a funny nerd in "Thunderpants" and going back to the rest of the Harry Potter movies, to finally seeing a more adult role in "Driving Lessons". He continued his role in the Harry Potter films until he branched out with gritty Irish drama "Cherrybomb" and expanded his comedic talents with "Wild Target" starring Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt. We'll watch him continue on as he continues his role as Ron Weasley in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"! Don't forget to leave your birthday wishes for Rupert! »

Expect the UK as producer of quality films - and in the genre 'coming-of-age', there is no competition. I'll get to some of the year's best - featuring Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank (Katie Jarvis), plus mentions including last year's Dummy (Aaron Johnson and Thomas Grant) and the thriller The Disappeared (with Harry Treadaway), but our featured trailer comes from a film which received both glowing reviews and some disappointments - A Boy Called Dad.

As usual, we focus on the acting, and one can't help it but be impressed with Kyle Ward, the young actor who plays the lead.
After their remarkable BAFTA award-winning short About a Girl (Best British Short Film, Eiff 2001) and successful careers working in television, director Brian Percival and writer Julie Rutterford's latest feature is a sympathetic study of a young boy's unexpected and accelerated ascent into adulthood. »
