Blu-ray Review: A Monster in Paris
1 June 2012 11:41 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars (the voices of): Vanessa Paradis, Jay Harrington, Adam Goldberg, Bob Balaban, Matthew Géczy, Danny Huston, Sean Lennon | Written by Bibo Bergeron, Stéphane Kazandjian | Directed by Bibo Bergeron
Produced by Luc Besson’s EuropaCorp (Arthur And The Invisibles) and directed by Bibo Bergeron (Shark Tale, The Road To El Dorado), A Monster in Paris is a gorgeous-looking CG-animated take on the classic tales of Phantom of the Opera and Hunchback of Notre Dame, only with a genetically-engineered (think a quasi-Frankenstein’s monster) singing giant flea as its protagonist!
A wacky inventor, his camera-crazy best friend and a madcap monkey make a massive mistake when let loose in a mad scientist’s laboratory. With lotions and potions spilling everywhere, the troublesome trio accidentally creates Franc, the product of a reaction between a common flea and one of the scientist’s mystery concoctions. What they fail to realise, »

When Can I Watch 'Men In Black' With My Kids?
22 May 2012 7:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Which Will Smith movie do you watch most often with your kids? (Please don’t say Bad Boys II, please don’t say Bad Boys II, please don’t say Bad Boys II…) I ask because even though he’s arguably the biggest star on the planet, my two sons -- ages 8 and 4 -- don’t have a Smith movie in heavy rotation. Hancock? Too surly. I, Robot and Enemy of the State? Those spy thriller are aimed at older audiences. My kids are far more familiar with Will’s son, Jaden. They like the Karate Kid remake (which isn’t terrible), and know the junior Smith from his musical collaborations with Justin Bieber. Outside of the animated Shark Tale, I’m not sure Smith has ever attempted to make a...

All that’s missing is Hector Elizondo, right?
In what’s shaping up to be the New Year’s Eve of animated movies, DreamWorks Animation has announced its cast for the upcoming Ryan Reynolds-voiced movie Turbo, and it’s a doozy. Included in the all-star ensemble are Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzman, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Kurtwood Smith, Snoop Dogg, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Turbo stars Ryan Reynolds as an ordinary garden snail who dreams of racing greatness. When a freak accident imbues him with the power of incredible speed, »

DreamWorks Animation Set Paul Giamatti, Samuel L Jackson & Just About Everyone Else In Hollywood To Join Ryan Reynolds In 'Turbo'

They may still not have the prestige of arch-rivals Pixar, but things have been looking up over at DreamWorks Animation of late. Once the home of poor CGI fare like "Shark Tale" and "Bee Movie," recent years have seen a new emphasis on quality rather (or at least in addition to) big names. 2010's "How To Train Your Dragon" was their best film to date, and last year even sequels "Puss In Boots" and "Kung Fu Panda 2" displayed more artistry than "Cars 2" did, picking up Oscar nominations for their trouble.
The company's next film, the Noah Baumbach-penned "Madagascar 3," lands in the summer, but the studio have just finalized the cast for one of their three movies for 2013, the superpowered snail tale "Turbo." The film has had Ryan Reynolds (who'll also lend his voice to their March 2013 release "The Croods") attached for a while, playing an ordinary garden »

Rob Letterman to Helm Found Footage Movie ‘The Paranormalists’
16 February 2012 12:46 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Director Rob Letterman is best known for the animated Monsters vs. Aliens and Shark Tale, but may have grown tired of pandering to children. THR is reporting that he is straying into the realm of horror in the live-action arena for his next film The Paranormalists. SyFy Films has picked up the supernatural found footage project that Letterman will write and direct.
The plot is of a "haunted house which is entered by a group of men and women intent on debunking the presence of spirits. As they say, things don’t go as planned." »

Monsters vs. Aliens Director To Helm Live-Action, Found Footage Horror Flick
16 February 2012 7:53 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Writer-director Rob Letterman built his film career with a string of family-friendly flicks, from the animated adventures Shark Tale and Monsters vs Aliens to his first live-action effort Gulliver's Travels. Now the Hollywood Reporter reveals Letterman has inked a deal with Syfy Films that will give him a shot at more mature material. The newly created offshoot of Universal has acquired Letterman's script The Paranormalists, and the former kiddie flick crafter is attached to direct. Produced by Brian Grazer, Kim Roth and Sarah Bowen of the Universal-based Imagine Entertainment, the film will be a found-footage horror feature that focuses on a group of young people who enter a rumored haunted house with aims of debunking its reputation. As you can imagine, things don't go as they plan. While little else about The Paranormalists's plot is being released, it seems to be inspired by televisions supernatural-themed reality series like Ghost Hunters »
Monster vs. Aliens Director Rob Letterman to Direct Found Footage Comedy The Paranormalists
16 February 2012 7:37 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
Found footage horrors have been performing pretty well thus far, but when it expands a bit to far in its years and now has its own TV show, audiences may just wish the style of shooting have just stayed dead. Still the camera style has a loyal fanbase and Monster vs. Aliens director Rob Letterman is prepping to shoot another movie that uses found footage. Yes the guy who directed movies such as Monsters vs. Aliens, Shark Tale, and Gulliver’s Travels will make what we can only surmise to be a childish horror using the found footage. The movie is called The Paranormalists and it follows a group of supernatural debunkers who investigate a house that seems to be really haunted.
But wait, this movie gets better. The Paranormalists will be produced by Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment and distributed by Syfy Films. The movie doesn’t have a cast as of yet. »

The Paranormalists Picked Up by SyFy Films
16 February 2012 7:30 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Rob Letterman (Monsters Vs. Aliens, Shark Tale) is set to make his second live-action film. THR reports that SyFy Films has picked up The Paranormalists, a supernatural found footage movie that Letterman will write and direct. The story will deal with a "haunted house which is entered by a group of men and women intent on debunking the presence of spirits. As they say, things don’t go as planned."
The Paranormalists will be produced by Brian Grazer, with Kim Roth and Sarah Bowen serving as executive producers. Universal and Syfy joined forces on SyFy Films to make low-budget genre movies. This will be the second project they have worked on together. The project is said to add a quirky tone to the regular shaky-cam format of found footage films.
I am usually not a fan of found footage films, but this may be good. Letterman has a decent track record with animated films. »

Confirmed: Found Footage Horror 'Paranormalists' Goes To Uni
15 February 2012 11:29 AM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Update: Story confirmed three months after we originally reported it. On November 8(!) we were told exclusively that Gulliver's Travels, Monsters vs Aliens and Shark Tale director Rob Letterman would getting behind the camera for Universal Pictures' new supernatural horror, Paranormalists. Syfy is producing the project that's "loosely based on" their hit show "Ghost Hunters." It's a found footage project that's actually pretty generic sounding. It's said to follow a group of stoner kids that claim to rid haunted houses of ghosts and poltergeists, only they're just ripping off a slew of gullible individuals. In an obvious turn of events, they end up in a house that's actually haunted. »

Live-Action Stretch Armstrong Movie Gets a Release Date
30 January 2012 5:34 PM, PST | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
We've been hearing that Hasbro's "Stretch Armstrong" toy may one day be turned into a live-action movie, and now comes word from Relativity Media and Hasbro that they will develop "Stretch Armstrong" for a April 11th, 2014 release. "'Stretch Armstrong' is a great example of Hasbro's rich portfolio of intellectual properties that we are continuing to develop globally," said Hasbro. "We are excited to partner with Relativity on this movie as they are a growing and innovative studio." "Stretch Armstrong" is the classic action hero figure first launched by Hasbro in 1976 and re-launched in the 90's, sold successfully throughout North America and in markets across the world. The original Stretch's unique design broke free of traditional action figures, as he could be stretched over and over and always returned back to his original size. The nostalgic toy is considered to be rare and collectible to this day. Two years ago, »
A Monster in Paris review
23 January 2012 9:16 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
From the director of Shark Tale comes A Monster in Paris, which splutters with creative spark but offers only sporadic charm
Homesickness was partly what inspired French director Bibo Bergeron to make animated fin-de-siècle fantasy A Monster in Paris, and it shows. The film vibrates with a warm, nostalgic affection for the capital city which is easily shared by the audience. Its characters and story, however, are less easy to love.
Set against the backdrop of the 1910 Parisian floods, A Monster in Paris boasts a number of charms, though none so consistently as to make it a truly satisfying or exciting feature.
Somewhat ironically for a film which opens in a projectionist’s booth, a lack of focus is partly to blame. A Monster in Paris opens on a love story between mild-mannered cinema projectionist Émile (and part-time leprechaun by the looks of his character design) and ticket booth attendant, »
