Oz The Great And Powerful Producer Picks up Rights for The School Of Good And Evil
33 minutes ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Producer Joe Roth does enjoy his fairy-tale reimaginings. His recent films including Alice in Wonderland, Snow White and the Huntsman, Oz the Great and Powerful, and the upcoming Maleficent, which is the tale of Sleeping Beauty told from the villain's perspective. Since Alice and Oz were both monster hits, it's not surprise that Roth is now planning another fairy-tale* movie. According to Deadline, Roth has picked up the rights for Soman Chainani's new young adult novel, The School for Good and Evil. The story takes place in a school where students are chosen and trained to become heroes or villains. The beautiful Sophie expects to be a princess in the School for Good while her homely best friend Agatha readies herself to be a witch in the School for Evil. But when they arrive, their roles are reversed. It sounds like a fun premise that's reminiscent of the opening of Wicked. »

The sun has set (or risen?) on Summit Entertainment’s venerable vampire series — but even though it, like Robsten, is officially kaput, Twilight still holds a hypnotic power over people of a certain age. (That age is “young.”)

New Poltergeist Film Is A Semi-Sequel *Plot Details Revealed*
22 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Poltergeist Remake Plot Details Give Cause For Optimism
21 May 2013 8:41 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
The original 1982 Spielbergian horror film Poltergeist is one of the few scary movies of the 1980s that still, remarkably, holds up. The classic lines and images, the recollection of childhood fears (of course your closet was a portal to another dimension; of course that doll in the corner was trying to kill you); and all the creepiness attendant with exorcists, children getting sucked into the TV and ancient burial grounds – all made for one hell of a good film. So I’m not alone in regarding the plans for an MGM remake of Poltergeist with grave skepticism. But as new plot details emerge, I might – might! – be feeling a bit more optimistic.
First there’s the undoubted boon of bringing on Sam Raimi as a producer. If anyone can pull off some high quality camp horror, Raimi can. Raimi is also a co-screenwriter with David Lindsay-Abaire (Oz The Great And Powerful »

Mila Kunis Tops Jennifer Lawrence in Sex-Tape Survey
20 May 2013 9:57 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Surely there's an Oz the Great and Powerful joke here somewhere. It seems out of all the lovely ladies in Hollywood, the one that most adult movie fans would like to see in a porno flick is none other than Mila Kunis. At least that's according to the latest (and Nsfw) Sex Tracker survey from XCritic.com and Vivid Entertainment. Of course, this is the very same survey which, just last month, found Jennifer Lawrence on top. This time around, though, the Oscar winner slipped to second with about 23 pecent of the vote compared to the 38 percent craving Kunis. Other gals who eventually may come from behind in future polls include Sofia Vergara (15 percent), Angelina Jolie (13 percent) »
Oz: The Great And Powerful Designs For Emerald City, Props & Unused Baddies

Jonathan Bach "The idea was floated that at some point we would see where the baboons that Evanora used to do here dirty work came from and so I did some passes on an ominous home for them. The two characters in the center were done very early on for Oz: The Great and Powerful when there were a host of other minor villains from L. Frank Baum's books that we were trying out. The "Steam Bot" at the bottom was an early idea that Sam Raimi really wanted to see, and popped in and out of the movie as we were working on it. In the end it was too expensive and maybe too much of a spectacle and so was let go."

'Into Darkness' Boldly Goes Where 2009's 'Trek' Went Before
19 May 2013 5:37 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Star Trek Into Darkness easily opened on top this weekend, though it wasn't the kind of box office sensation that many*including distributor Paramount*were expecting it to be. The J.J. Abrams-directed sequel took in an estimated $70.6 million for the three-day frame; add in its grosses from Wednesday night and all-day Thursday, and the movie has to-date earned $84.1 million. In comparison, 2009's Star Trek grossed $75.2 million for the weekend, and $86.7 million through its first four-and-a-half days.While it's usually unfair to knock a movie for opening in line with its predecessor, it certainly feels like the "disappointment" label is applicable in this case. All signs suggest the 2009 Trek is very well-liked (it has a strong 8.0 rating on IMDb) and Paramount's marketing did a decent job walking the sequel tightrope (a balanced approach of promising more-of-the-same and offering something new). Additionally, there was four years of ticket price inflation and »

Weekend Box Office: Star Trek Into Darkness Leads the Box Office, Iron Man 3 and The Great Gatsby Continue with Strong Showings
19 May 2013 11:13 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It's no surprise that this week's new entry, J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness, took the top spot. With the exception of the bumped-off Oz the Great and Powerful, the rest of the top ten features the same contenders from last week. Iron Man 3 continues its strong performance, followed by Baz Lurhmann's The Great Gatsby. Michael Bay's modestly-budgeted Pain and Gain takes the fourth spot and DreamWorks Animation's The Croods makes a bit of a jump as the most family-friendly of films on the roster. Title Weekend Total 1. Star Trek Into Darkness $70,555,500 $84.1 2. Iron Man 3 $35,182,000 $337.1 3. The Great Gatsby $23,415,000 $90.2 4. Pain and Gain $3,100,000 $46.6 5. The Croods $2,750,000 $176.8 6. 42 $2,730,000 $88.7 7. Oblivion $2,222,000 $85.5 8. Mud $2,160,000 $11.6 9. Tyler Perry Presents Peeples $2,150,000 $7.9 10. The Big Wedding $1,100,000 $20.2 Hit the jump for more. Though it took the top spot, Star Trek Into Darkness came up short of the expected $80 million weekend and $100 million total. Audience polling shows that the under-25 portion was underrepresented at 27% of theatergoers. »

Michelle Williams is an independent woman! The actress didn't need help when carrying her luggage to the curb when she arrived at John F. Kennedy airport earlier today in New York City. Williams was spotted lifting her large black suitcase solo while balancing an oversized black travel bag on her left shoulder. While she struggled for a moment balancing the two, the Oz the Great and Powerful star ultimately didn't need any help getting her belongings checked into her flight. The fashionista made sure she flew in style, too. Sporting a black knit sweater, boyfriend jeans and adorable leopard espadrille flats, Williams had the airport chic look down pat.

Hook Writer to Adapt The School For Good And Evil
17 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Producer Joe Roth (Oz the Great and Powerful) and Jane Startz have acquired the rights to an upcoming supernatural fantasy novel trilogy called The School for Good and Evil. They've hired Hook screenwriter Malia Scotch Marmo to co-write the film with the book's author Soman Chainani.
The book will be published by HarperCollins on May 14th, and it sounds like a fun story. It centers on an ordinary group of "boys and girls who are kidnapped from their homes and sent to The School for Good and Evil, where they are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains, princesses and witches." I can actually see this making for a great movie.
Here's a trailer for the book and an official description with more details:
At the School for Good and Evil, failing your fairy tale is not an option.

James Franco Reviews Luhrmann's 'Great Gatsby,' Calls Out Negative Reviewers as 'Hypocrites'
15 May 2013 10:49 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Insatiable multi-tasker James Franco is back at film criticism again, and this time has a few words to impart on Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," which opens the Cannes Film Festival today before the film's European roll-out. Franco's a fan, and calls out the critics who "ravaged the film for not being loyal to the book [as] hypocrites." Highlights below. Adaptations of hallowed American classics are close to Franco's heart right now, as his version of William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" (which he wrote, directed and stars in) has a place in the Un Certain Regard section of this year's lineup. Watch the trailer here. Franco's dabbling in practically every artistic medium hasn't seemed to hurt his 2013 box office appeal, as polar opposites "Oz the Great and Powerful" (in which he gratingly plays the eponymous lead) and Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers" (in which he brilliantly plays a »

Mandy Patinkin Joins Zach Braff’s ‘Wish I Was Here’
14 May 2013 1:20 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Mandy Patinkin has joined Zach Braff on “Wish I Was Here,” the indie drama which has raised $2.6 million in three weeks of Braff’s Kickstarter campaign from fans.
Patinkin will play Braff’s father. Producers plan to shoot the film in Los Angeles in the summer.
Braff announced the casting on the Kickstarter page. The campaign crossed the $2 million goal on April 27 on its fourth day with backing from over 28,000 fans and has since added $600,000 and 10,000 more backers.
Braff plans to star and direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with his brother Adam. Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg will produce via their Double Feature Films.
Braff will portray a struggling actor, husband and father trying to find his identity and purpose at age 35. He winds up trying to home school his two children when his father can no longer afford to pay for private education and the only available public »

Fox 2013-2014 Full Schedule Preview With Trailers And Images
14 May 2013 10:12 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.
Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.
Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.
