As 'Harry Potter' casts its final spell at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, the 'Sorcerer's Stone' extra recalls her childhood crush.
Photo: MTV News
Universal City, California — Here's a, perhaps, little-known fact about "Rock of Ages" star Julianne Hough: Before she was tango-ing on "Dancing With the Stars" or kicking off her Sunday shoes in "Footloose," the actress was a member of house Gryffindor at Hogwarts.
That's right — Hough, along with brother Derek — was an extra on "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" way back in 2001. So when we caught up with the 23-year-old and her "Rock of Ages" co-star Diego Boneta at the junket for their movie musical (out June 15), we had to ask what she thought the franchise's chances were at its final MTV Movie Awards.
The magical movie is up for seven nominations, including Movie of the Year, Best Male Performance (Daniel Radcliffe »

Julianne Hough Heading for a 'Safe Haven' With Josh Duhamel
18 May 2012 11:37 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Nicholas Sparks books are pretty much the be-all end-all of romantic book-to-film adaptations, and now that "The Lucky One" is out and has earned a respectable box office keep ($77 million worldwide on a reported $25 million budget), it's time to focus on the next. "Safe Haven," which is sure to yank on our heartstrings like so many have before, might have found its leading lady in "Footloose" star Julianne Hough, according to Variety.
"Safe Haven" is about a woman named Katie Feldman, who arrives to the small town of Southport, North Carolina, with a dark secret and tries to avoid relationships with the townsfolk until widower shopkeep Alex (Josh Duhamel) with two adorable little tykes wins her over and forces her to face her past.
"Dear John" alum Lasse Hallstrom will return to the Sparks legacy to direct "Safe Haven," as will producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen.

Harry Potter eBooks Headed for Kindle's Lending Library; Next Wizarding World Theme Park to Open in Japan
10 May 2012 1:32 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
All seven of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter titles have been available for purchase as an e-book for a little more than a month, and they will soon be available to borrow in an e-format as well.
Starting June 19, Amazon exclusively will be adding Sorcerer's Stone, Deathly Hallows, and all of the books in between to their Kindle Owners' Lending Library. Unlike a public library, there is no limit on the number of copies of an eBook that would be available to Amazon Prime subscribers, so there's never a waiting list for any particular title. Of course, also unlike a public library, there is a monthly subscription fee to have access to the library, as well as the purchase price of the Kindle itself. One thing is for sure, though: if you're wanting to take something along to read on a summer vacation, it's much easier to throw an e-reader »

Pottermore Review
1 May 2012 8:39 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I rarely re-read books, but I've re-read J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series numerous times because I love being in the world she's created. I always want to see what's behind every corner, and what's happening beyond Harry's point-of-view. I wish Hogwarts: A History was a real book, and that Professor Binns had new and exciting pieces of information about the Wizarding World rather than being brushed off as a boring history teacher. I also wanted to know about Rowling's thought process in writing the books; a kind of "Author's Commentary" that went beyond annotations and provided something deeper. The new online experience, Pottermore, provides all of this through a nice interactive experience that continues to respect fans and let them be a part of Harry's world like never before. Hit the jump for my full review. When you sign up for Pottermore, you're given five options for your username. »

Pottermore — or Less
18 April 2012 7:51 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Last weekend, just in time to make that "early April" deadline, Pottemore was finally released to the general public. Once live, all it took was a quick questionnaire to determine if the user was magical and then fans could explore the site... Well, that is, after they got their confirmation email several hours later. Then on to Hogwarts — after after another fairly lengthy wait for a second email. Then the opportunity to see Pottermore truly arrived. After months of waiting, millions of Harry Potter fans were able to get a firsthand glimpse of the highly anticipated website.
Unfortunately, only the first few chapters of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone were actually available, while the rest of the site remains locked. So far, Pottermore is filled with fun, interactive illustrations of the chapters, chapter summaries, and character descriptions, but best of all are the tidbits from J.K. Rowling, herself.

The Daredevil Movie That Almost Happened
18 April 2012 7:49 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Here's how the whole thing shook out, straight from DeMatteis: There’s a long version and a short version of this story and I’ll opt for the short one: In the mid-nineties I was working on a screenplay for producer/screenwriter Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ): an original I’d pitched, and sold, to his company, 1492 Pictures, called Straight On Till Morning. Around the same time I met—and became instant best friends with—a wonderful director named Carlo Carlei (Romeo and Juliet). Well, it turned out that Carlo was also working with Chris and his partners—helping them to develop Marvel Comics’ blind superhero, Daredevil, into a feature film. The movie had been through a number of drafts and the creative team was looking for a new take. Short story even shorter: Carlo wanted me involved and, since I was already working for 1492, Chris »

The Hunger Games Movie Box Office: (Actually) $250M+
3 April 2012 3:28 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Hunger Games passed the $250 million milestone at the North American box office on Monday, April 2, according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. Although Gary Ross' futuristic adventure tale reached that milestone one day after the studio had predicted, that's an impressive feat all the same. After 11 days, The Hunger Games has collected $253 million in the Us/Canada. Ignoring inflation, only six movies have reached $250 million at the domestic box office in 11 days or less. In addition to The Hunger Games, the others are: Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight in 8 days (Christian Bale / Heath Ledger / Maggie Gyllenhaal) David Yates' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 9 days (Daniel Radcliffe, Ralph Fiennes / Emma Watson / Rupert Grint) Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in 9 days (Shia Labeouf / Megan Fox / Josh Duhamel) Gore Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in 10 days (Orlando Bloom »

The Hunger Games: Twilight-Like Drop-Off Rate
2 April 2012 4:48 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lawrence / Josh Hutcherson's The Hunger Games Box Office: $250M Milestone Not Reached Last Weekend. Another consequence of The Hunger Games' lower-than-expected weekend box-office performance was that its drop-off rate was slightly higher than originally thought. At close to 62%, The Hunger Games drop was about the same as that of Catherine Hardwicke / Robert Pattinson / Kristen Stewart's original Twilight movie in fall 2008 — even though Ross' film version of Suzanne Collins' novel received much better reviews. For comparison's sake, among non-sequels: James Cameron / Sam Worthington's Avatar was down a minuscule 2% on its second weekend. Sam Raimi / Tobey Maguire / Kirsten Dunst's original Spider-Man was down 38%. Chris Columbus / Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was down 36%. Michael Bay / Shia Labeouf / Megan Fox's Transformers was down 47.5%. Tim Burton / Mia Wasikowska's Alice in Wonderland was down 46%. When it comes to sequels, David Yates' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 »

The Hunger Games Box Office: $250 Million/10 Days
1 April 2012 6:05 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Lawrence, The Hunger Games The Hunger Games topped the North American box office this weekend with $61.1 million according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. That represents a 60% drop from last weekend — which, admittedly, had the advantage of Thursday midnight screenings and IMAX surcharges. Even so, that's considerably less than the $75 million Deadline.com's sources had estimated last Friday night. For comparison's sake (among non-sequels): James Cameron's Avatar was down a minuscule 2% on its second weekend. Sam Raimi / Tobey Maguire's original Spider-Man was down 38%. Chris Columbus / Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was down 36%. Michael Bay / Shia Labeouf / Megan Fox's Transformers was down 47.5%. Tim Burton / Johnny Depp's Alice in Wonderland was down 46%. And Catherine Hardwicke / Robert Pattinson / Kristen Stewart's original Twilight was down 62%. Among sequels, Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale's The Dark Knight was down only 52.5% on its second weekend. »

The Hunger Games Box Office: Plummeting 61%?
31 March 2012 3:48 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Donald Sutherland as President Snow, The Hunger Games That The Hunger Games would easily top the North American box office this weekend was a given. Now, how much exactly Gary Ross' film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel would earn was open to debate. Perhaps that still is. Last night, Deadline.com reported early estimates of $24 million for Friday and $75 million for the weekend, as The Hunger Games is still playing at 4,137 venues (minus IMAX screens). However, it turns out that the futuristic adventure tale collected a much more modest — though still impressive — $18.85 million on Friday as per studio estimates. That's down 72% compared to a week ago, which also included $19.5 million from Thursday midnight screenings. Taking those into account, The Hunger Games actually dropped 61%. Anyhow, instead of the previously announced $75 million for the weekend, The Hunger Games is now expected to earn around $60 million. If so, it'll be down 61% compared to last weekend. »

The Hunger Games Box Office: $2.5 Million Less Than Estimated
26 March 2012 3:38 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, The Hunger Games Gary Ross' highly successful film version of Suzanne Collins' bestseller The Hunger Games took in $152.53 million (including $19.75 million from Thursday midnight screenings) at 4,137 locations in North America this weekend, March 23-25, according to box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. That's about $2.5 million less than Lionsgate's estimates released yesterday morning. The film's per-theater average was $36,871. Even so, as reported yesterday The Hunger Games had the third biggest debut ever in the Us/Canada in terms of box-office receipts (ignoring inflation). The futuristic adventure saga starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth is now behind only the $169.2 million earned by David Yates / Daniel Radcliffe / Ralph Fiennes' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and the $158.4 million earned by Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale / Heath Ledger's The Dark Knight.

Top Ten Opening Weekends/The Dark Knight #1 Adjusted
26 March 2012 12:48 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Dark Knight: Batman (Christian Bale) In the follow-up post is the list of top ten opening weekends in North America as found at Box Office Mojo. The list is based on box-office receipts, not ticket sales. In other words, it's not adjusted for inflation nor does it take into account IMAX/3D surcharges — or lower ticket-costs for children in the cases of, say, Chris Miller's Shrek the Third or the Harry Potter movies. Had the list been adjusted for inflation, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight (with approx. $175 million) would be the no. 1 movie, followed by Sam Raimi / Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 3 ($174 million), Daniel Radcliffe / Ralph Fiennes' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 ($169 million), Johnny Depp / Orlando Bloom / Keira Knightley's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($164 million), and the original Spider-Man (no. 12 on the non-adjusted chart, with approx. $157 million).
