Locke & Key Now Heading to the Big Screen via Universal
8 hours ago | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
After being teased with a TV adaptation of the popular comic Locke & Key that failed to materialize beyond a pilot, word has now come that Universal has picked it up to develop as a feature film.
Per THR's Heat Vision Blog, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Bobby Cohen will produce via their Universal-based K/O Paper Products banner. Ted Adams, the CEO and publisher of Idw Publishing, the company behind the comic, will also produce.
Written by Joe Hill and featuring astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez, Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them.... and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all...
Hollywood has been trying to adapt Locke & Key for several years now. Dimension had the screen rights initially, and »

Universal Developing Locke & Key Feature Film Adaptation; Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci Will Produce
9 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The graphic novel Locke & Key has had a difficult road to being adapted in the past, but the prospect of seeing the story translated onscreen just became quite a bit more promising. Heat Vision reports that Universal has picked up the supernatural comic series to develop as a feature film, with Star Trek and Transformers scribes/producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci onboard to produce. Created by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, the graphic novel centers on three siblings who return to their family home in Massachusetts following their father’s murder, where they stumble upon magical keys that give them various powers and abilities. Locke & Key was initially developed as a potential television show produced by Kurtzman and Orci, but Fox ultimately decided to pass on the Mark Romanek-helmed pilot in 2011. There’s no guarantee that a feature film adaptation will make it all the way to production, »

Here Are Three Chinese Landmarks That Michael Bay Will Destroy in 'Transformers 4'
11 hours ago | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
With Chinese companies Jiaflix Enterprises and China Movie Channel coproducing Transformers 4 with Paramount and Hasbro, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that the latest installment in Michael Bay's Transformers franchise will have a heavy Chinese influence. And because it's a Transformers (and more importantly, a Michael Bay) movie, you know there's going to be a ton of destruction. Three Chinese landmarks have been targeted to face the wrath of Bay's CGI team. China.org.cn reports that a deal has been signed between the producers of the film and the Chinese hotel company Beijing Pangu. In exchange for financing, the company's flagship building Pangu Plaza Hotel (above) will be featured and destroyed in the upcoming movie. The other two...

Transformers 4 Will Destroy Several Chinese Landmarks
13 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
While this shouldn't come as a huge surprise, given the nature of director Michael Bay's Transformers franchise, the producers of Transformers 4 want to blow up several Chinese landmarks during their shoot in China this fall.
The producers have signed a deal with Chinese financiers Beijing Pangu, who will foot the bill for the Chinese portion of the shoot, scheduled to commence in October. In exchance, the company wants the sequel to use their main building, the Pangu Plaza Hotel in Beijing, which will be seen exploding in the movie. The facility is close to the National Stadium and Beijing National Aquatic Center, which the production also wants to use in the movie, although it isn't known if they will be blown up or not.
Michael Bay is directing Transformers 4 from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, with Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Sophia Myles, »

Miller and Bingbing Li, the untitled Transformers sequel opens June 27, 2014. Hit the jump to see the new images and watch a video featuring the new vehicle.

Superman Reboot Grossed $3 Million More Than Originally Estimated - Now No.2 Non-Sequel in June (Sort of)
17 June 2013 7:39 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Man of Steel weekend box office: Above estimates, but real June record remains beyond the reach of Superman 2013 reboot (image: Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel) Somewhat surprisingly — it’s usually the other way around — Warner Bros.’ Man of Steel grossed more than $3 million above studio estimates released on Sunday, June 16, 2013. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Sucker Punch), and starring Henry Cavill (The Tudors, possibly the upcoming The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), the 2013 Superman reboot scored $116.61 million from 4,207 North American locations according to weekend box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. Once Thursday evening figures are added, the $225 million-budgeted Man of Steel‘s domestic cume reached $128.68 million by Sunday evening. Now, Man of Steel‘s adjusted $116.61 million doesn’t change the June Box-Office Record Chart in any way. The Superman reboot remains ahead of the former official June champ, the Tom Hanks-, Tim Allen-voiced Toy Story 3‘s »

New Myth Forms With ‘X-Men’/'Transformers’ Tom DeSanto; Goal To Hatch Tentpoles
17 June 2013 5:30 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Tom DeSanto has teamed with David Ranes, Grace Roeder Oppenheimer, and Wayne Duband to form New Myth Entertainment.

Does ‘Man of Steel’ Exploit Disasters Like 9/11?
17 June 2013 2:32 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Spoiler Alert: This discussion reveals key plot details from “Man of Steel.”
Justin Chang: Several weeks ago, writing about “Iron Man 3″ in the New York Times, Manohla Dargis noted that the film, with its bombastic explosions and references to terrorism, underscored “just how thoroughly Sept. 11 and its aftermath have been colonized by the movies.” A similar thought occurred to me repeatedly during the last hour or so of Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel,” which, as our colleague Scott Foundas pointed out in his review, strongly resembles the likes of “The Avengers” and “Transformers” in its cinematic shock-and-awe. I’d say Snyder goes even further than those movies in the way he channels the specific terror and chaos of 9/11; you see it in those brief scenes of small planes hitting skyscrapers, and in the lingering shots of ash-covered Metropolitans being pulled, traumatized but hopeful, from the rubble.

Six Of The Best (and Worst) – Animated Films
17 June 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Launching into this is always going to be a fairly thankless exercise. The sheer number of animated films makes this tricky enough, let alone the variety in style, tone and technique.
Classic hand-drawn animation (The Jungle Book), anime/manga (Fist of the North Star), CG animation (Toy Story), overlaid animation (rotoscoping – A Scanner Darkly), stop-motion (Chicken Run), performance capture (Beowulf). We could go on. Indeed a Top Ten list could be compiled for any one of those techniques and you would still come nowhere near scraping the barrel.
It is indeed a rich art form. So, at the risk of reducing the list too much and also at the risk of leaving out too many beloved films, I’m going to go for range and variety rather than trying to rank every animated film in order of quality and then skim off the top six.

Bring on a Hollywood-style disaster for the blockbuster film | Steve Rose

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are now bemoaning the commercialised film industry that they helped create
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas bemoaning the commercialised state of modern Hollywood is a bit like Amazon complaining about the decline of old-fashioned bookshops. Last week, speaking at the University of Southern California, the two film-makers outlined a doomsday scenario of hugely inflated ticket prices, limited choice at the box office and no place for talented, visionary directors – like themselves. Spielberg only just got his Oscar-winning Lincoln into cinemas, he revealed, otherwise it would have gone straight to television. Likewise, George Lucas struggled to get his Red Tails movie seen. Were just a handful of big budget tent-pole Hollywood movies to flop, the two men warned, there could be an industry-changing "implosion – or a big meltdown".
The instinctive response to this apocalyptic prophecy is, "Bring it on." The second is, "Hang on, you're Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. »

Trailer For Thriller Scenic Route Finds Its Way Online!

The trailer for thriller Scenic Route has made its way online, and it looks pretty intense. While not straight up horror, it looks like some pretty crazy stuff. Check it out!
“Mitchell (Josh Duhamel) and Carter (Dan Fogler), life-long friends who have drifted apart, are on a road trip when their old pickup breaks down, leaving them stranded on an isolated desert road. Nobody can pick apart a man like his best friend, and as the relentless elements of the desert grind them down, they start to attack each other’s life decisions with unwavering brutality. As they question who they are and who they could have been, their agitation leads to physical confrontation and ultimately knife-wielding madness, and what begins as an inconvenience becomes a very real life or death struggle.”
Scenic Route stars Josh Duhamel (Safe Haven, Transformers) and Dan Fogler (Kung Fu Panda, Balls Of Fury)

15 June 2013 1:03 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “Sesame Street” landed a half-dozen wins apiece on Friday night as the Daytime Emmy Creative Arts Awards were handed out in Los Angeles.
DeGeneres’ syndie yakker, a perennial Daytime Emmy darling, won a craft and technical awards as well as a nod for directing a talkshow or morning program, in a tie with NBC’s “Today.”
“Sesame Street” took the statuette for preschool program as well as writing and directing for a children’s program. Kevin Clash, the puppeteer who left the show last November after more than 20 years as the beloved Elmo character amid revelations about his sexual relations, won for performer in a children’s program. He also shared in the directing award for “Sesame Street” with three others: Ken Diego, Joey Mazzarino and Matt Vogel.
Cabler the Hub prevailed in the children’s program category with its “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour” series. »

It’s Day 2 of our Henry Cavill Twitter Watch, and the tweets about his handsomeness have definitely gotten racier. Credit goes to more people having actually now seen him on the big screen as Man of Steel’s Superman, but also to the airing of a Graham Norton Show interview in Britain, which produced so many tweets right as we began our search for inappropriate expressions of affection that we only had the stamina to look through two hours’ worth.

‘Star Trek,’ ‘World War Z’ Pivotal to Paramount’s Impact on Viacom Financials
14 June 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
While Paramount Pictures has argued that its austere slate churns out profitable films at a price, the studio’s operating income has been in decline, putting even more pressure on big summer bets like “World War Z” to perform.
While most of Paramount’s rivals also reserve their biggest theatrical releases for the next few months, they also roll out more titles throughout the year, which somewhat mitigates the fortunes of a single season. But under topper Brad Grey, Par has cut its slate and reduced overhead, choosing to bet on big, sexy pics like “World War Z” and “Star Trek Into Darkness” that will put the onus on the studio’s summer performance.
But “Star Trek” has been good news for Par, netting $181 million over its first three weeks at the domestic box office. Par also kicked off summer with a third pic, “Pain & Gain,” which did a respectable $50 million in the U. »

‘World War Z’ a Big Test for Paramount’s Wary Strategy
14 June 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Memo To: Brad Grey
From: Peter Bart
Back in 2005, Brad, when you were named Paramount’s uberboss, I wrote a memo to you that waved some warning flags. “You’ve never run a studio,” I wrote, “so let me list all the things that could possibly go wrong.” You were politely dismissive of my warnings — that is, until just about all of the dire predictions became reality.
Eight years later, those problems have been long forgotten and your regime at Paramount seems as solid as any in town. But is it solid or stolid, as some of your critics suggest? The studio doesn’t make many movies or create much sizzle. It’s almost like the ‘R’ word (risk) has been dropped from the studio’s vocabulary.
That’s why there’s so much focus within the industry on the opening of “World War Z” on June 21. This isn’t just another summer release, »
