After a torrent of reports circulated the news that Avengers DP Seamus McGarvey shot portions of the $200 million Marvel blockbuster with an iPhone, the cinematographer (and especially Disney) rushed to claim he was misquoted by something called the Irish Film & Television Network : “I mentioned that the iPhone and the Canon 5d Mk2 were devices currently used on many Hollywood productions. I used the Canon on some shots on Marvel’s The Avengers movie. Unfortunately, this was edited to read that I shot some of the film with the iPhone. This is not true.” Disappointing, but come on. Did no one think to fact-check with Siri ? [ THR ]

Fifteen-year-old Abigail Breslin , America’s erstwhile Little Miss Sunshine, is growing up — not too fast, like some of her Hollywood peers and predecessors seem to be, but in her own time. Still: In the upcoming New Year’s Eve , she’ll share her first movie kiss; next year, she takes on the role of a real life teen killer . To kick off this new phase in her career, Breslin plays her first official teenage role in this week’s music-themed Janie Jones , starring (and performing her own vocals) as a capable young girl forced on a road trip with the rock star father she never knew.

We’ve already seen one parody of the star-studded, snarky Avengers trailer that was released a couple weeks ago, but we think those Taiwanese geniuses have been topped by Swede Fest organizers Roque & Brian. The flying, lame one-liners, hair-whipping, and general superhero self-importance are all mocked here, and the closing quip seems to sum up the movie pretty nicely. Please watch, or you’ll be Thorry.

Some of us were too busy this weekend taking in Martha Marcy May Marlene and Margin Call to bother with such plebeian fare as Paranormal Activity 3 , but I suppose I’ll acknowledge the found footage thriller’s big feat this weekend: Not only did it jazz up a comatose box office, it also notched the highest opening ever for a horror movie. Fancy! Click through for all the notable grosses and help me lament Johnny English’s stateside downfall.

Though Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows doesn’t come out until December, the third installment of the flashy Arthur Conan Doyle series already has a screenwriter : Iron Man 3 scribe Drew Pearce. Pearce also wrote a bit on Pacific Rim , Guillermo del Toro’s alien invasion movie that he’ll start shooting soon in Toronto. I suppose this means we won’t be returning to the simpler Basil Rathbone world of ol’ Sherl any time soon. I want quaintness! [ Deadline ]

It’s the most wonderful time of year — that calm October blip where Oscar season’s best films are coming up and we dream about how overrated many of them will be. I feel like a little kid again! While this season is far less objectionable than last year’s , I can think of a couple movies I’d normally (and irrationally) resist if it weren’t my job to deal with them. Can you?

Logan Lerman, arguably our most rosy-cheeked D’A rtagnan, made an appearance on a Korean talk show while promoting the new Three Musketeers at the Busan International Film Festival. Maybe the movie’s not so hot , but you’ll see in this clip that Lerman’s cute awkwardness is the best we’ve seen since Jesse Eisenberg (and not as flip). Also, the host steals Lerman’s shoes, and for some reason it’s like watching a trainwreck.

The past month’s been slow at the cineplex, but you can thank Paranormal Activity 3 for giving the people what they want: graininess! The second sequel trounces everything in its path this week, especially other newcomers like The Three Musketeers and Johnny English Reborn . The tally follows.

She’d only wriggled her way into small parts before, but Kim Kardashian is set to take on a sizable part in Tyler Perry’s upcoming jam The Marriage Counselor . Are you screaming and applauding right now? Good. Kardashian tweeted the news last night, and already I’m psyched to watch her light up in the big screen with those shiny, ovoid, battery-operated eyes. Details on her part after the jump.
