Vote for Our Halloween Costume Contest Winners!
13 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Pictured: The winner of Cinematical's Fourth Annual Halloween Costume Contest
Our Fifth Annual Halloween Costume Contest saw a record number of submissions, with literally hundreds of freaky movie-inspired Halloween costumes for our crack team of judges to sift through. Naturally it took forever to choose 20 finalists (10 in the adult category and 10 in the child category), but after hours of tireless deliberations we finally narrowed down the list and came away with what I believe to be the cream of the crop. Before we ask you to vote for the winning costumes, I'd personally like to thank all of you out there for dressing up and playing along. Though it's a giant task each year, it's one I always welcome with open arms because nothing puts a bigger smile on my face then to sift through photos of you all getting your movie geek on.
Okay, here's how this works: Below »

Is Avatar’s Budget Half a Billion, or Half That?
16 hours ago | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
An article in the New York Times has caused quite a stir today in the movie community after it claimed a $500 million budget for James Cameron’s 3-D film, Avatar.
Michael Cieply’s report wonders if Fox can turn a profit from a production that costs half a billion, a total that includes everything from paying the special effects wizards to TV spots on Nickelodeon. The studio claims the costs of making the actual movie are around $230 million, possibly a low-ball number (like most studio budget estimates) but still under the roughly $267 million spent on 1997’s Titanic after an adjustment for inflation.
Cieply writes Fox will likely spend somewhere around $150 million to market Avatar globally, but how does that suddenly add up to 500? It continues to say $250M in domestic ticket sales would mean Fox was in the black, a seemingly arbitrary number even when you figure in outside investors. »

A Naked 'Twilight' Actress's New Moon And 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' In Today's Twitter-Wood
18 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
When "Twilight" cast members began tweeting about subjects involving missing clothing, I definitely did not expect to log on to Twitter today and find out that Christian Serratos decided to outdo all of them, but but her new garment-less PETA ad definitely succeeded.
Dane Cook and Ice-t, meanwhile, were less focused on saving fur and more intent on playing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" this weekend, according to their posts, and at least one of them found himself in possession of some nightvision goggles. Check all of that out after the jump along with Danny Masterson's criticism for Andre Agassi, "Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich's favorite childhood toy and much more. I'm @brianwarmoth and this is the Twitter-Wood report for November 9, 2009.

Marvel’s ‘Super Hero Squad’ Heads for Primetime
20 hours ago | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
For many people, comics are thought of as something for kids. Although I know many adults who read comics and titles seem to be geared more towards adults these days, its nice to see that a company hasn’t forgotten that kids do make up a portion of their audience.
Case in point is Marvel’s Super Hero Squad TV program, which is now moving to a primitime gig on Cartoon Network. Here’s all the latest info from the official press release.
On Saturday morning, September 19th, The Super Hero Squad Show burst onto television screens across the nation on Cartoon Network to rave reviews and a huge audience. It instantly became the Network’s #1 show for Boys 6-8 and has continued its heroic growth in that demographic, increasing that audience by nearly 30%.
Thanks to the tremendous success the show has seen on Saturday mornings, the greatest Super Heroes »

The "Man Men" season finale Sunday night had more than a few Twitter accounts waiting to see what the third season's cliffhanger would be. Matt Fraction, Jon Favreau and Mike Costa all had reasons to be pleased by the time it was all over. Don't worry though; their tweets are spoiler free.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" launches this week, and quite a few comics folks seem to have gotten their hands on advance copies. At least one got in to the launch party last night as well.

Gwyneth Paltrow to be Kidman's wife
9 November 2009 2:30 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Gwyneth Paltrow is to play Nicole Kidman's wife. The 'Iron Man' actress has signed on to replace Charlize Theron in 'The Danish Girl', an adaptation of a novel about the first post-operative transsexual. The film follows Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener who found success after Einar stood in for a female model that Greta was set to paint. As their work gained popularity, Greta encouraged her husband to continue to adopt a female guise. This eventually led to Einar undergoing a sex change operation in 1931, shocking the world and threatening their marriage. Anand Turker is set to direct the film, which screenwriter Lucinda Coxon is adapting from David Ebershoff's novel of the same name. »
Gwyneth Paltrow Joins the Cast of The Danish Girl
8 November 2009 12:07 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has just wrapped filming on director Jon Favreau's second installment of Iron Man, in which she plays Tony Stark's top assistant and love interest Pepper Potts. Now she's preparing to star opposite Nicole Kidman in Tomas Alfredson's follow-up to Let the Right One In, The Danish Girl.
An adaptation of the David Ebershoff book of the same name, The Danish Girl is based on the true story of the relationship between the world's first post-operative transsexual, Einar Wegener, and his artist wife, Greta. When Greta asked her husband to stand in for one of her models one day, the experience led the two of them down the road to transformation that changed both of their lives forever.
The script is by Lucinda Coxon and producers include Gail Mutrux, Anne Harrison, Linda Reisman, Per Saari and Kidman, who replaced Charlize Theron in the title role.

Gwyneth Paltrow Stands By Her Man: Nicole Kidman
7 November 2009 2:59 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Even though she's one great part of the insanely entertaining Iron Man, Gwyneth Paltrow hasn't been notable for her acting in years. Since marrying Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and raising their two kids, she's become more notable for stuff like traveling around Europe with Mario Batali, and founding the laughably snooty lifestyle site Goop.com, which encourages readers to "nourish the inner aspect." But after a promisingly low-key turn in James Gray's Two Lovers earlier this year, Paltrow is taking on a role that's a genuine challenge: she'll play the wife to a character played by Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl, a movie that sounds as weird and twisty as Iron Man is enjoyable and mainstream. The film, directed by Let the Right One In's Tomas Alfredson, tells the true story of Einar Wegener (Kidman), the world's first person to get a sex-change operation. According to Variety, Paltrow »

'Twilight' Actors Without Clothes, The 'New Moon' Premiere And Dog Accounts In Today's Twitter-Wood
6 November 2009 4:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The Twitter-Wood feed started following its first canine today, as recent hacking victim and "Eclipse" actress Jodelle Ferland tweeted a pic referencing her dog "Genevieve Ferland." According to @gena_fur's Twitter account, Genevieve recently turned five, hates nail clippers and dressed as a princess last year for Halloween.
Lack of clothing was on the minds of two other "Twilight" series actors, though, as Tinsel Korey seems to have not yet found a dress for the "New Moon" premiere, and Charlie Bewley reported on his love of not wearing anything. Remarkably, I made none of this up. Check it out, along with an award Arnold Schwarzenegger recently presented to Kirk Douglas, a scandalous "Full House" photo and the reason "Iron Man 2" will show up to theaters late if it gets delayed. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 6, 2009.

Review: 'Two Girls and a Guy' on Blu-ray
6 November 2009 1:07 PM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
When an actor or director suddenly breaks out and gets hot, studios scour their vaults to see if there’s a way they can capitalize on this heat. Last year, Robert Downey, Jr. went from a troubled, gifted actor to a Super Star thanks to his performance in Iron Man. This week, 20th Century-Fox hopes to catch a break with the Blu-ray release of Downey’s 1998 film Two Girls and a Guy.
Written and direct by James Toback, the film is virtually a real time three-person stage play on a film. In his self-congratulatory 20 minute conversation on the Extras, Toback talks about how he came to write the film, by beginning to imagine a setting. In this case, that’s the spacious loft apartment which became the set his performances would use. After that, he populated the apartment with his players.

Stan Lee On 'Thor,' 'Micronauts' In IMAX And Danish 'Scott Pilgrim' In Today's Twitter Report
6 November 2009 10:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Someone appears to have finally told Stan Lee that Anthony Hopkins will play Odin in "Thor," and he had a thing or two to tweet about it, including what he would like to do in the film when it comes out in 2011. Also on the Marvel movie front, "Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau expressed dismay over the effect "World of Warcraft" could have on his editing process.
Elsewhere, Bryan Lee O'Malley shared a look at the new Danish-translated "Scott Pilgrim" volume he received, as well as some on-the-fly Google interpretation of Danish. You can find all those tweets after the jump along with Dan Slott on "Micronauts," Jim Lee on the passing of Halloween and a rad custom Mockingbird action figure.

‘Green Lantern’ Director on Special FX & New Set Location
6 November 2009 6:54 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Last time we checked in on the progress of The Green Lantern the shoot had pulled out from down under in Sydney, Australia (thanks to inflating costs of production) and was looking for a new locale in which to conduct its principal shoot, which Was set to begin in January.
Now, thanks to The Geek Files, we have updates from director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale), letting us know where the Green Lantern shoot has moved to and what kind of challenges they’re facing in bringing the intergalactic adventures of the emerald warrior to the big screen.
First up, you should know that previously rumored shooting locations like Mexico and Canada have been revealed as just that – rumor. Green Lantern has in fact come on home to the U.S. of A. and tapped the city of New Orleans as the location for its principal shoot, which is now set to being in April, »

Crazy Heart Bumped to December Release
6 November 2009 5:23 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
It seems that Fox Searchlight, desperate to have at least one film out by the end of the year (looks like they oddly don’t have enough on their plate this season) will be bumping Crazy Heart up to a December 16 release date. It’s a little romantic drama of sorts, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and the omnipresent Jeff Bridges, alongside Robert Duvall.
Written and directed by actor Scott Cooper, Crazy Heart centers around “the story of boozing and broken-down country singer Bad Blake (Bridges), who finds redemption with the help of a young journalist (Gyllenhaal).” I don’t know about you, but it would be refreshing to see Bridges not play alcoholics so often in his latter years. He’s becoming sort of typecast.
Crazy Heart was originally a novel by Thomas Cobb, so if you’re interested, check that out!

Does The Road really need a video game tie-in?
5 November 2009 4:17 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Some movies just lend themselves to a video game tie-ins. Iron Man, Star Wars anything with larger than life heroes and villains really and anything set in space. But I have to say that when I read Cormac McCarthy's "The Road," I didn't immediately think, man that would make a great video game!
Granted the game, called "Survive the Road," is more like that old PC game, The Oregon Trail, or a choose-your-own-adventure game where you choose options and see if you can make it through the story alive. Certainly not fun enough to warrant all the work that went into it and even a little inappropriate considering the film is an Oscar contender.
But anyway, I know you're all dying to play it, so check it out and leave a comment. »
The World Series, Hideki Matsui and Mariah Carey In Today's Twitter-Wood
5 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Yankees supporters were out in force last night, and a few Twitter-Wood citizens were right by the field uploading pics. Brody Stevens may have shot the most enviable of the day, apparently getting soon-to-be-mvp Hideki Matsui in the dugout before the game. Jeremy Piven caught another high-quality photo-op, though, standing with his fellow Chicagoan Brian Urlacher.
Poor John Favreau was stuck in the editing room for "Iron Man 2," though, which he noted on his account. Larry King, Eliza Dushku and other added their thoughts after Phillies finally went down. Check out all of their tweets, along with Brett Ratner's pic with Mariah Carey after wrapping her video and Andy Milonakis. They're all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 5, 2009.

Cool Stuff: Real Life Iron Man In The Making Builds Wrist-Mounted Flamethrower
5 November 2009 12:00 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Everett Bradford is, for all intents and purposes, a real-life Tony Stark/Iron Man in the making. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years we see him flying around the sky fighting supervillains with his self-made robotic suit. He recently demonstrated his "Prometheus Device", which is a hand-mounted appliance that shoots real fire, in a flame-thrower like blast, into the air. Head on over to Picasa to see scans of Bradford's design notebook, sketches, Cad shots, and photos of the device in and out of action. Watch a video demonstration of the contraption after the jump.

The Yankees, Guy Fawkes Day And New Jim Lee Art In Today's Twitter Report
5 November 2009 11:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Simon Pegg tweeted an impassioned appreciation for "V for Vendetta" today in honor of Guy Fawkes Day, proving that he has not forgotten the 5th November. Also not forgetting were Jill Thompson, Neil Kleid and a few other I couldn't fit in.
Jon Favreau, it seems, didn't have time to commemorate anything last night, as he was hard at work editing "Iron Man 2." If he was following Joe Quesada or Matt Fraction, however, he probably kept up on the game's details just fine. Scope out all of those posts below, along with a new Jim Lee page and Geoff Johns' mystery project that he wants to work with Greg Rucka on.
It's all in the Twitter Report for November 5, 2009.

Welcome to The Pull List Comic Reviews! First off, a huge thanks to John Carle for covering the column last week, he did a fantastic job. Make sure you check out The Flickcast’s podcast this week where he was also a guest-host! The dude’s everywhere. Okay, on with the comics. As always, Warning: Spoilers Ahead.
Pull Of The Week:
Lobo: Highway to Hell #1 (of 2) – DC Comics – $6.99 Us
Writer: Scott Ian Artist: Sam Keith
Score: 8.5
You’re sitting there, asking yourself “How in all that is holy is Lobo: Highway to Hell the Pull of the Week?” Believe me, I’m asking myself that very same question. You see I’ve never dug Lobo. I’ve read a good chunk of his various issues over the years and I’ve never seen the attraction to the character, but seeing as variety is the spice of life, I figured I’d give this a shot. »
