Katie Holmes has maintained a relatively low-key persona in the aftermath of her divorce from Tom Cruise last summer, but now she's getting back to business with her first movies since 2011's "Jack and Jill" and the ReelzChannel miniseries "The Kennedys." Photos from the set of one of those movies -- the upcoming "Mania Days" -- have surfaced, featuring Holmes dashing through a fountain with co-star Luke Kirby while clad in a wet T-shirt.
"Mania Days" depicts two manic depressives who meet in a psychiatric ward and embark on a romance. The movie is written and directed by Paul Dalio, who made his feature-film debut with the 2012 Bulgarian movie "Faith, Love and Whiskey." Spike Lee serves as a producer.

The movie, currently being filmed in New York, also stars TV vets Christine Lahti ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Chicago Hope") and Bruce Altman ("Law & Order").

Katie Holmes got soaked on the set of upcoming movie Mania Days while wearing denim shorts and a pale T-shirt in a public New York park yesterday (May 21).
The 34-year-old actress was pictured laughing and joking with co-star Luke Kirby as they frolicked in a fountain while shooting scenes for the Spike Lee-produced film in Washington Square Park.
Holmes and Take This Waltz actor Kirby play manic depressives who meet in a psychiatric hospital and later fall in love in the romantic drama written and directed by Paul Dalio.
It was recently reported that Holmes, whose divorce from Tom Cruise was finalised in August 2012, has been "hit on" by members of the film's crew, with a source telling Page Six: "They were crew members and extras just chancing it. It really got on the nerves of director Paul Dalio. Needless to say, she said no to everyone."

Attention, lords and ladies who love both Game of Thrones and chain restaurants: Two production companies are joining forces to build a movie based on Medieval Times, the cheese-tastic dinner theater that combines Middle Ages-themed food and entertainment.
EW has confirmed that that Benderspink (The Hangover Part III) and Broken Road (Jack and Jill) are behind the deal, which intends to transform Medieval Times into a feature film property. After securing the chain’s rights, they’ll reportedly shop the project to studios. Deadline first reported the news.
Medieval Times, of course, is no stranger to the screen. Jim Parsons »

Here’s an unexpected piece of news to liven up a Tuesday. Benjamin Bratt, of Demolition Man, Miss Congeniality, and Catwoman fame, is to be a last minute replacement for Al Pacino in the Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment Despicable Me 2. Al PAcino was set to lend his vocals to an animated film for the first time, playing a villain that causes trouble for Steve Carell’s Gru.
This news comes as a big surprise, as most vocal roles are recorded long in advance of animation even beginning. It may be a little easier these days to sync dialogue and reanimate lips, but it may be that Benjamin Bratt will have to supply a quick dubbing. Perhaps Universal needed to record some new dialogue which Pacino was unavailable for?
Here’s what Universal had to say on the matter:

Update: Okay, this is just weird. Benjamin Bratt (he plays Manny's dad/Gloria's ex in "Modern Family") will voice the villain in Despicable Me 2, replacing Al Pacino (Jack and Jill) who replaced Javier Bardem. Pacino left over "creative differences" which is always what studios say whenever it doesn't work out with an actor. It most likely means that Illumination and Al Pacino couldn't agree on how much they'd pay him versus how much he wanted, but that's just an educated guess. In the meantime, Bratt steps into the voice over booth to do some fast work ... Despicable Me 2 opens July 2. Benjamin Bratt has Vo experience, he is the voice of Manny in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
May 2, 2012 - Steve Coogan, best known to kids as Owen Wilson's mini-nemesis Octavius in Night at the Museum, will join the voice cast of Despicable Me 2 in an unknown role. »

David Gordon Green’s productivity amazes me. Not only is he promoting Prince Avalanche while wrapping up production on Joe (starring Nicolas Cage), but he’s also begun planning his newest film Manglehorn, and he wants Academy Award-winning actor and industry legend Al Pacino as the lead. The film would tell the story of an ex-con living in anonymity while nursing his sick cat and slowly falling into a dull routine, but his tranquility is eventually threatened when he’s unmasked as a man with a dark past.
Al Pacino’s career is at an all-time low. His latest movies make little effort to showcase his wonderful acting skills — Stand Up Guys barely made a passing grade, The Son of No One was laughable, and nobody is willing to accept the fact that Jack and Jill even exists (except Adam Sandler, of course). Nevertheless, I still enjoy Pacino quite a bit. »

<< Continued from #1-1112. World War Z (June 21): With the success of AMC's The Walking Dead and February's Warm Bodies ($66.2 million), it's safe to say that zombies are very popular right now. World War Z is the first big-budget aspiring blockbuster featuring the creatures, though casual audiences may have a tough time associating the movie's fast-moving swarms of CGI zombies with the slow-moving ones they are used to. With star Brad Pitt and what's sure to be a hefty marketing effort from Paramount, World War Z will likely do fine, but opening right after Man of Steel is going to keep this down. (Domestic: $135 million, Foreign: $285 million)13. Epic (May 24): Action-oriented animated movies (as opposed to comedic ones) aren't historically all that successful, and Epic's story calls to mind notorious animated bomb The Ant Bully ($28.1 million). Still, from a scheduling perspective, Epic is in great shape: Memorial Day weekend »

Paramount Pictures and The Montecito Picture Co. have come on board middle-school comedy “The Dunderheads” with Tyler Spindel attached to direct.
Ali Bell, Joe Medjuck and Ivan Reitman are producing for Montecito with Tom Pollock exec producing.
Project is based on the book by Paul Fleischman and David Roberts, centered on a mean teacher who gives herself gold stars when she makes kids cry. When she confiscates a student’s crucial junkyard find, the students team up to teach the teacher a lesson.
The story will be told partly from the protagonists’ point of view, along the lines of Warner Bros.’ “Project X” set in a middle school. Lona Williams had adapted the screenplay.
Spindel was on the second unit on “That’s My Boy,” “Grown Ups 2″ and “Jack and Jill.” His “Love and Germaphobia” won best short film at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and the Hollyshorts fest. »

Time Out has put its heart on its sleeve and shouted its Brief Encounter infatuation from the rooftops. Will you join them in their lovebombing of the 68-year-old classic? Or have your tastes in romantic movies moved on?
Sam played it again, now it's our turn to plug in the turntable and petition you once more for your top romance films of all time. The peg? Time Out's 100 Most Romantic Films of all Time poll, which has been announced today, and which names Brief Encounter as the title most likely to get your heart a-flutter.
But by our reckoning, the Time Out folk are cruising for a bruising; when we came to the same conclusion three years ago, the readers felt we'd done them wrong, and suggested Casablanca was Mr Right when it came to romantic movies.
Do you feel the same? Has your taste for gin joints endured over the past three years? »

Trailer Simon Brew 3 Apr 2013 - 05:51
Adam Sandle, Chris Rock, Kevin James and David Spade regroup for Grown Ups 2. Here's the first trailer...
Were we to remark that Adam Sandler isn't in the midst of a run of good films, we'd suggest that more people would agree with us than not. Furthermore, his box office has started to stutter as his films have got lazier, with both Jack And Jill and That's My Boy falling below the returns that Sandler's comedies have been notching up.
However, Grown Ups 2 sees Adam Sandler back on safer ground than usual. The first film was a big box office success, taking in $270m worldwide off a relatively modest budget. And while Sandler doesn't usually do sequels, he's made an exception here. Expect big box office returns to follow.
Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider are returning alongside him, along with director Dennis Dugan, »

Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director’s point of view.
Ah, the joys of hindsight, such as they are. It is so easy to look back on what came about from the small decisions coming together to form an unforgettable whole, and laugh at those who didn’t display prescient vision. This applies to the world of film too, of course, where even the most minor of calls can prove absolutely crucial. There is a reason that these guys are paid so much, after all. But sometimes retrospect shouldn’t be required to spot a blatantly dunce call, even if its long term implications probably would have been hidden from view. The executives and the blindsided directors were, on occasion, spared by fate’s demand for fruition.
Casting is a huge part of filmmaking, and many a movie has »

Kacey Musgraves’ breakthrough single, “Merry ‘Go Round” ends with “Jack and Jill went up a hill/Jack burned out on booze and pills/And Mary had a little lamb/Mary just don’t give a damn no more.” And there’s plenty more where that came from on “Same Trailer, Different Park,” the country singer’s major label debut, out today. Full of fractured fairy tales and broken dreams, “Same Trailer, Different Park” takes the listener through a spellbinding cascade of downwardly mobile characters, each one spiraling further than the next, stuck in dead end jobs and even deader-end relationships.

That headline was pure cheese, yes, but most of Adam and Drew's movies are also total cheese (in a good way, of course), so hey. Birds of a feather and all that, right? Variety reports that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore will be taking on the big screen for their third time as a couple in a romantic comedy, and the story is set to revolve around a couple who embarked upon a horrible blind date and how they eventually got trapped at a family resort with their respective children, sired from previous marriages. If this isn't a way to get your career back on track after projects like "Jack and Jill" and "Just Go With It", then gosh. Who knows what will. A sequel to "Airheads", maybe? No?-Sarah Taylor Read more »

The latest on Grown Ups 2, plus Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are to team up for a third time...
Call us optimists, but we live in hope that Adam Sandler may eventually either go back to the days when he was taking on more challenging roles, or else recapture what brought him to popularity in the first place. Some of Sandler's earlier comedies continue to hold up well. Jack And Jill and That's My Boy are about as bad as they've got, though. We charted the man's slow decline here.
We've got news, then, on his next two projects here. Firstly, the first poster for Grown Ups 2 has appeared. Grown Ups is Sandler's most commercially successful film worldwide, and the sequel is with us this summer. Given that the first poster has been unleashed, we'd imagine that the first trailer isn't too far behind. »

Check out the first poster for Grown Ups 2, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Salma Hayek. Dennis Dugan directs the comedy from the script by Tim Herlihy and Fred Wolf, which opens in theaters on July 12th via Sony Pictures. Not that the first film was anything to write home about, but this was an awards contender when compared to Sandler's Jack and Jill. Also in the cast are Taylor Lautner, Andy Samberg, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello, Steve Buscemi, Jackie Sandler and Steve Austin. The all-star comedy cast from Grown Ups returns (with some exciting new additions) for more summertime laughs. Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school. »

The Golden Raspberry Awards used to be an antidote to the Hollywood awards season. Now? They're part of the problem...
It's traditional that on the eve of the Oscars, the annual Golden Raspberry Awards take place. These have been going for a long time now, and the theory behind them is sound. If you're going to have awards ceremony after awards ceremony praising movies to the hilt, shouldn't you have one that highlights the dross that Hollywood has to offer too? In the words of The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation's website, the awards are designed to "prick the movie industry's pomp".
In principal, who's not on board with that? There's hardly a shortage of pomp to prick, and those movies you sit through where you get the sense that nobody cares should be named and shamed.
To get an idea of what's generally bad amongst 2012's releases, »

Right before the Academy Awards announces its winners, the 33rd Annual Razzie Awards has unveiled the list of its own winners for the worst achievement in film for 2012. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" had eleven nominations (twice in one category) and ended up winning seven, including Worst Picture, Worst Actress for Kristen Stewart and Worst Director for Bill Condon. Last year Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill" won all the awards. But this year, his "That's My Boy" movie won only two, for Worst Actor and Worst Screenplay. Check out the full list of nominees and winners (in red) below. Worst Picture: * The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 * Battleship * Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure * That's My Boy! * A Thousand Words Worst Actress: * Kristen Stewart - Snow White and The Huntsman, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 * Katherine Heigl - One For The Money »

This year saw yet another Razzie sweep, but this one was incomplete: Although The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 went into the 33rd Annual Razzie Awards race with a near-record 11 nominations (more nods than there were categories) it only managed to "win" seven spray-painted statuettes, including Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Kristen Stewart) Worst Supporting Actor (Taylor Lautner), Worst Screen Couple (Lautner and 12 year-old Mackenzie Foy) and Worst Screen Ensemble. Throw in Worst Remake/Rip-Off or Sequel and Worst Director for Bill Condon, and the fifth and final Twilight film is 2012's most-Razzed movie. But Twilight S.B.D. #2 (as Razzie wags prefer to refer to it) still fell short of last year's unprecedented all-ten-category sweep by Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill. Sandler wasn't totally over-looked, though: The aging, schlubby comic took the Worst Actor Razzie for the second year in a row, and his film That's My Boy »

"Breaking Dawn: Part 2" may have been a commercial success at the box office, but most definitely not a critical one.The final installment of "The Twilight Saga" won seven Razzies on Saturday, which "honors" the worst in cinema every year. In addition to picking up Worst Picture, "Breaking Dawn" took the prizes for Worst Ensemble and Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel.In the acting categories, star Kristen Stewart won Worst Actress (along with her turn in "Snow White and the Huntsman"), and Taylor Lautner picked up the Worst Supporting Actor Razzie and Worst Screen Couple with child actress Mackenzie Foy (which is creepy if you think about it). Bill Condon picked up Worst Director.Robert Pattinson was spared; Adam Sandler -- who won a record ten Razzies last year for the cross-dressing comedy "Jack and Jill" -- picked up the Worst Actor award for "That's My Boy."Pop star Rihanna »
