The new rebel film trailers

17 December 2009 1:45 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Movie trailers used to be pretty formulaic – just show the best bits – but, in the age of the internet viral, they're now works of art in themselves

If you're looking for art or auteurship at the cinema, you're likely to be waiting for the main feature, not concentrating on the trailers for what were quaintly known as "coming attractions". As long as they have existed, trailers have been the tool of film marketing departments aiming solely to secure the maximum number of bums on seats. Experimentation with the form has not been a big part of the story. There have been brief flourishes of artistic advancement, such as the move towards fast-edit montages led by Kubrick in the early 1960s, and periodical oddities, like Hitchcock's personally hosted guided tour of the Bates Motel for Psycho, and the mock advertisement for the Ghostbusters' services, which led to the advertised phone number »

Weekend Report: 'Paranormal' Rages, 'Saw' Dulls

25 October 2009 5:57 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »

As a new horror sensation rose, another fell over the weekend. Paranormal Activity rolled out into more theaters and claimed the top spot, in part because the new releases were non-starters, including the latest movie in the usually reliable Saw franchise. Overall business was down 11 percent from last year, which featured the one-two punch of High School Musical 3: Senior Year and Saw V, but was still solid for the timeframe.

Jumping to approximately 2,500 screens at 1,945 sites (more than doubling last weekend's counts), Paranormal Activity raked in an estimated $22 million, and its total grew to $62.5 million in 31 days. While still far from The Blair Witch Project, the supernatural horror movie is on track to becoming one of the higher grossing entries in its sub-genre and has already surpassed the final tallies of White Noise and The Haunting in Connecticut.

Saw VI had by far the most anemic start of its franchise, »

'Wild Things' Roars, 'Citizen,' 'Activity' Thrill

18 October 2009 1:47 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »

Between the openings of Where the Wild Things Are and Law Abiding Citizen and the nationwide expansion of Paranormal Activity, overall weekend business was booming by October standards, leaping 39 percent ahead of last year and posting a record gross for the timeframe.

Where the Wild Things Are emitted an estimated $32.5 million howl on approximately 5,000 screens at 3,735 sites, including over $3.1 million at 145 IMAX sites. The picture's daily box office pattern suggested that it didn't play like a typical family picture, rising only two percent on Saturday, and the demographics bore this out. According to distributor Warner Bros., the audience composition was 43 percent 18 years and older, 14 percent 12-17 years old, 27 percent parents who had kids under 12, and 16 percent kids under 12, and it was 55 percent female.

While Where the Wild Things Are wasn't earth-shattering, it clawed its way into the top tier among debuts for children's book adaptations that aren't Harry Potter and »

Updates: Top 50 Hottest Young Actors- Chris Massoglia and Josh Hutcherson

11 October 2009 1:28 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

There are two young actors cast in Paul Weitz's Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant who are definitely making waves - Josh Hutcherson and Chris Massoglia.

- - -

- - - Perhaps you are more familiar with Josh, since he did quite a number of high-profiles films - Zathura, Bridge to Terabithia and Journey to the Center of the Earth, among others. While Chris started acting via television, and Joe Dante's The Hole and The Vampire's Assistant are his only work on the big screen, which is not bad actually. In fact, his roles in both films are lead roles.

Both are definitely qualified for the updated Top 50 Hottest Young Actors list, but can they muster enough votes to grab a ranking?

Says Josh in an interview when asked about his acting and not having 'stage parents':

After being fired from directing the elephant orphanage drama "Peaceable Kingdom", director Nick Cassavetes has sued New Line for fraud and breach of contract.According to Variety, Cassavetes filed the suit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that he was never paid for a rewrite of the script. He's also seeking damages for other work he says he passed on while working on "Kingdom." Cassavetes was attached as director in March. The story is based on the life and work of Daphne Sheldrick, who has devoted her life to preventing elephant extinction by laboring to save baby elephants left orphaned by war, poaching and culling. Jeff Stockwell ("Bridge to Terabithia") wrote the screenplay.Cassavetes most recently directed "My Sister's Keeper" for »

Bridge To Terabithia Kid Sucked Into Art Forgery Ring

2 February 2009 10:34 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

You know how it is. You're a teenager with no real direction in life, no family to take care of you, and no close friends. Before too long you've fallen into the wrong crowd, and you're swept up in the dangerous and thrilling word of... art forgery. Yes, art forgery. That's the slightly-crazy premise of Carmel, an upcoming drama that has just added Josh Hutcherson to the cast, which already includes Lauren Bacall, Alfred Molina, Dina Eastwood and Hayden Panettiere. Variety says that Hutcherson will play the main character, and presumably Bacall will be the retired local artist who remembers the early days of all these Carmel, CA forgers. I liked Hutchinson a lot in both Bridge to Terabithia and Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, and this seems like a more grown-up role for him. Given Thomas Crown and all, art forgery rings are fascinating-- if maybe »
