'Basterds' for Best Picture? The Sound of 'Transformers' and the Awards Schedule
31 December 2009 10:40 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
It's been a nice week. Thanks to the lack of news I was able to focus on my top 25 movies of 2009, but it won't be slow for long.
This past Monday ballots for the 2010 Oscars were mailed to the 5,777 voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and one day later ballots for the 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards were sent out to nearly 100,000 actors. Oscar ballots must be returned to PricewaterhouseCoopers by 5 p.m. on Saturday, January 23, 2010 and SAG ballots are due two days earlier, by noon Pst on Thursday, January 21, 2010.
Speaking of ballots, Steve Pond at The Wrap posted a brain-bender of an article concerning the Oscar balloting system, which includes 11 different ballots in 11 different colors covering 15 of the 24 Oscar categories. He then proceeds to explain a couple of the peculiarities regarding each of them. It all sounded like a hot mess if you ask me. »

31 December 2009 9:51 AM, PST | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Some major well-known celebs dominated this news year. Rihanna, Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, and Charlie Sheen all made the headlines in a Big way! But what about the stars you barely heard of until this year?
Here are 8 celebs who broke out in 2009 in a Big way!
Justin Bieber: If you didn’t know who Justin Bieber was in 2008, you sure know him now! This 15-year-old Candian native won the hearts of teen girls (and even some a bit older!) with the hits off his album “My World.” His mall tour stop at Long Island’s Roosevelt Field Mall in November even had to be cancelled after police were called in to contain 3,000 screaming fans. We haven’t seen a star like this since Paul McCartney!
Zoe Saldana: Even before Avatar, Zoe Saldana was pining for your boyfriend’s heart, as the super sexy inter-planetary lieutenant Uhura in summer blockbuster Star Trek. »

Megan Fox could tell Amanda Seyfried was “not excited” about ‘Jennifer’s Body’ kiss
31 December 2009 9:13 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Megan Fox, who arrived at first place in a poll ranking 2009’s worst actress, says she could tell that her Jennifer’s Body co-star and recipient of the famed girl-on-girl kiss, Amanda Seyfried, was was “not excited about it.” The Transformers beauty went on to say that the smooch is awkward to watch because it’s so uncomfortable.
“I feel it’s so awkward and quiet, there is no score underneath it and it’s just… Could you watch yourself doing it? It’s awkward and it was really awkward to film it,” said the 23-year-old.
She added: “I would say it’s easier kissing someone who you know doesn’t want to kiss you, that’s more comfortable than going into a scene with somebody that you think is anticipating it or is going to enjoy it. But I knew clearly Amanda was not excited about it.”

Avatar Box Office: Another Record-Breaking Tuesday
30 December 2009 4:27 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Zoe Saldana in Avatar (Weta / 20th Century Fox) Avatar now has the #3 spot in the Box Office Mojo chart of the biggest Tuesday box-office earnings ever (not adjusted for inflation or higher 3D/IMAX ticket prices). But wait. Avatar was #3 last week as well. And still is. Yesterday, James Cameron’s sci-fi epic adventure grossed an outstanding $18.2 million — its 12th day out. The previous week, Avatar had grossed $16m. Now, Avatar is both #3 and #4 on the chart. And it’s #1 and #2 for the best Tuesday box-office grosses in December. Michael Bay’s Transformers, with $27.8m on opening day, and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, with $20.8m on Day 5, occupy the top spots on the list. Both [...] »

2009: The Truffles – The HeyUGuys Awards
30 December 2009 2:32 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
With the proliferation of Top Tens and Best Of lists on the internet at this time of year we wanted to try something a little different.
2009 was an important year for the business of cinema; games were changed with the acquiescence of audiences to the notion of 3D, low budgets met with large returns, old franchises spawned reboots and rebakes with varying success, the British film industry remained strong and gave us some bright new stars in our sky.
We asked our writers to come up with an alternative set of awards which would honour those films, directors and actors who made 2009 such an enjoyable year. Strong emotions are rendered in strong language, be warned if words offend.
So, here now, I present to you our awards for 2009 – The Truffles.

2009 meant, for me, the respectable return to sci-fi. Star Trek, District 9, Moon and now Avatar showed that sci-fi »

Fox Divides Movie Poll
30 December 2009 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Movie fans have rated Megan Fox's sex appeal above her onscreen talents - she has been named worst actress of the year, but also the sexiest in a new poll. Fox has topped the list of worst actresses by film website Moviefone.com for her role in action sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, narrowly beating out Beyonce Knowles for her performance in thriller Obsessed and Hilary Swank in Amelia.
But the 23 year old can console herself after landing the title of sexiest actress in the same poll, seeing off competition form Star Trek's Zoe Saldana and Sandra Bullock.
Fox's Transformers follow-up also divided voters, being named both worst movie of the year and best action movie.
Twilight's vampires and werewolves also proved popular, with British heart-throb Robert Pattinson scooping the title of sexiest male star and Taylor Lautner being named male breakout star of the year. The Twilight Saga: New Moon was named best film ahead of Avatar and The Hangover, and the bloodsucker movie was also crowned best chick flick. »

Even as moviegoers look ahead towards 2010, it cannot be denied that 2009 was a banner year for blockbuster cinema. Hot off the heels of the domestic box office's single most lucrative weekend ever, there is no question that both Hollywood and the indie scene alike had their best game-faces on this year, resulting in a science-fiction renaissance through the likes of "District 9" as well as more intimate (though no less dangerous) affairs as seen in "The Hurt Locker."
While a movie is only as good as the sum of its parts, it's clear that the films of 2009 had some very, very good parts. From intergalactic space battles to an intense conversational showdown over a glass of milk, these are our nine »
Saldana Says 'Trek 2' Pre-Production A Year Away
29 December 2009 7:09 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
I don't think J.J. Abrams would want to work much faster than this outlined schedule by Zoe Saldana, his beautiful Star Trek star who spoke to MTV recently about a sequel. Trek was a blast in my opinion, but it was also a pretty accomplished film with a tight, efficient script. That's no accident, because those things don't happen by accident.
As a comparison, I offer Transformers, which went from a pretty entertaining first film to an absolute train wreck because there was no time to develop the story. It was two years between installments there, and Trek looks like it will wait three years before boldly going again. That gives Abrams and company time to get it right, a process that Saldana say is already underway.
"I spoke to J.J. and Bryan Burk, his producing partner at Bad Robot, and they are still in the middle of building »

Captain America Ready To Roll Without A Cast And Good Green Lantern News
29 December 2009 5:42 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
According to the fine fellas over at Fangoria, principal photography for the as yet un-casted “Captain America” is set to roll in June of 2010. That’s pretty soon. No casting news yet. Will it be Sam Worthington? He’s in everything else. Why not? I’m thinking the good Captain is going to have to be pretty buff so 6 months is going to have to be enough time for someone to get in fighting trim. In other superhero news, the production team is in place for “Green Lantern” starring Ryan Reynolds. These guys are good so I’m hoping the Green won’t be another Wolverine. Thanks /Film for the bullets. Cinematographer Dion Beebe (Memoirs of a Geisha, Chicago, Equilibrium, Collateral) Production designer Grant Major and costume designer Ngila Dickson (Lord of the Rings trilogy) Art director François Audouy (Avatar, I Am Legend, Watchmen, Transformers, the Spider-Man” trilogy) »

Martin Campbell Picks Best of the Best for 'Green Lantern'
28 December 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) is wasting no time in putting together an A-list crew to help him bring Green Lantern to the big screen. It's a virtual 'who's who' of Oscar talent, from cinematography through to production design.
Dian Beebe, who previously won an Oscar for his work on Memoirs of a Geisha and was nominated for Chicago has signed aboard as cinematographer, while production designer Grant Major and costume designer Ngila Dickson, both of whom won Oscars for their work on Peter Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, have also joined Green Lantern.
Art director Francois Audouy, who previously provided concept art for Avatar and I Am Legend, and worked as art director for Watchmen and the first Transformers, will bring his talents to bear on the DC franchise.
We're still waiting to hear who will be cast in support roles opposite Ryan Reynolds, and indeed, who »
Top 10 Science Fiction Films of 2009
28 December 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
This year was a pretty good year for Scifi films and despite some disappointments I must admit that 2009 was a pretty good year for scifi film fans young and old with a nice mix of films to suit all tastes.
Two films that did not make my list because they did not play anywhere near me were The Road and Moon. Both films looked truly fantastic and were high on my list to watch but alas the distributors released the film very poorly so only the critics and a select group of film fans got to see both films. I am sure that they both would have made my top list if I had a chance to see them.
So with that said and done here are the 10 Best Scifi Films of 2009 as I see it.

Captain America Begins Filming in June, Green Lantern Hires Oscar-Winning Crew
28 December 2009 12:44 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
As today is a slow news day, I thought I'd pass along a couple small superhero film tidbits. Fangoria has learned that Joe Johnston is readying The First Avenger: Captain America for a June 2010 start. Sounds like we'll begin hearing casting news shortly. Meanwhile, there might not have been any recent casting developments for Warner Bros' adaptation of Green Lantern, but SuperheroHype has learned some of the Oscar-winning crew hired for the production: Cinematographer Dion Beebe (Memoirs of a Geisha, Chicago, Equilibrium, Collateral) Production designer Grant Major and costume designer Ngila Dickson (Lord of the Rings trilogy) Art director François Audouy (Avatar, I Am Legend, Watchmen, Transformers, the Spider-Man" trilogy) Sounds like the team is really shaping up. »

'Twilight' tops fan list; 'Transformers' divides
28 December 2009 12:00 PM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
The "Twilight" vampire franchise topped a survey of 2009 moviegoers' favorites, but film fans were divided over whether they loved or hated this year's "Transformers" sequel.
A poll on the AOL movie Web site Moviefone.com ranked "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" both the worst of 2009 and the year's best action movie, as well as the second-most disappointing film of the year -- after "Bruno."
And "Transformers" star Megan Fox was overwhelmingly voted both the year's sexiest female actress, and the actress who gave the worst performance of the 2009, according to the poll released Monday.
Whatever the views of Moviefone.com followers, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" grossed more than $834 in ticket sales worldwide to make it the third-most commercially successful movie of 2009, behind "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," according to Boxofficemojo.com.
Voters showed no such ambivalence about "New Moon," the sequel to 2008's blockbuster "Twilight, »

The First Avenger: Captain America Begins Filming in June
28 December 2009 9:04 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In an interview with The Wolfman director Joe Johnston, Fangoria reports that his next film, The First Avenger: Captain America is set to go in front of cameras in June. That’s not too surprising when you consider the film has a target release date of July 22, 2011. According to Fangoria, Johnston is currently meeting with the art department. I hope they spend an entire day mocking Rob Liefeld’s illustration of Captain America.
There’s also some news about Martin Campbell’s adaptation of Green Lantern so hit the jump to learn about some of the great production crew who are on board.
SuperHeroHype reports that Green Lantern will have some Oscar-winners in its roster when it comes to the behind-the-camera work. First up, you have cinematographer Dion Beebe (Oscar-winner for Memoirs of a Geisha). Then you got production designer Grant Major and costume designer Ngila Dickson who both won »

Martin Campbell Assembling An Award-Winning Crew For Green Lantern
28 December 2009 8:05 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Even though we don't yet know any of the names that will be part of the Green Lantern cast beyond Ryan Reynolds in the lead role, director Martin Campbell isn't wasting any time getting the below-the-line talent assembled. Superhero Hype is reporting that many of the key crew members are already on board, and there's no lack of Oscars among them. Dp Dion Beebe won a statue for his work with Rob Marshall on Memoirs of a Geisha, while production designer Grant Major and costume designer Ngila Dickson were both winners for Return of the King. Perhaps the most exciting crew member, though, is the one who hasn't won an Oscar-- Francois Audouy just finished doing concept art for Avatar, and was also the art director for Watchmen and the first Transformers, movies that may have their flaws but look great throughout. Of course talented people working on the set »
Weekend Movie News Wrap Up : December 27, 2009
27 December 2009 10:17 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This week:
Avatar beats Holmes to number one; Kevin Bacon is Super; Jackson and Kilmer fire a Gun and Paramount saddle up for The Further Adventures of Doc Holiday.
Box Office
James Cameron is the “King of the World”. The Terminator has yet another Titanic hit on his hands with Avatar. The fantasy adventure epic has banked another $76 million for a magic $217 million total.
Robert Downey Jr’s Sherlock Holmes had to settle for the runner-up position with a decent $65 million debut. It looks like Downey Jr. now has two action franchises to play with!
The Alvin and the Chipmunks sequel brought in another $50 million for a $84 million total. It looks like a third installment will be on the way.
Meryl Streep shows that she can still open a movie with It’s Complicated. The comedy had a $23 million opening. Never underestimate the power of Streep.

Josh Duhamel wants a quiet Christmas at home with Fergie. The 'Transformers' actor - who has had a rocky first year of marriage with his Black Eyed Peas star wife following accusations of adultery and break-ups - says he wants nothing more than to spend time at home with her over the holiday period.
