Rob Marshall’s newest old-school Broadway musical reconstitution, Nine , got humdingered by critics when it briefly splashed into theaters last year. Audiences apparently felt the same way, because they ignored it, and so just when you’re thinking Daniel Day Lewis can’t pick his nose without getting Oscar-nominated, the year’s biggest musical came and went in a fog of shame.

Another indie distributor essentially bit the dust Monday when indie guru Bob Berney walked out on Apparition for undisclosed reasons. This, after underachieving receptions for Bright Star , The Runaways and a few other films they absorbed from an output deal with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisition Group. Cheapskate Apparition owner Bill Pohlad claimed to be “surprised” by the move, installing an interim COO and canceling his trip to Cannes. No word yet on where this leaves Apparition’s overdue Terrence Malick feature Tree of Life , but expect it to be sold, and soon. [ Deadline ]

The lineup for the upcoming Los Angeles Film Festival has been announced and if you’re a Twilight fan, prepare to be jealous. The LAFF will host an invitation-only world premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse a full six days before its release to the ravenous, abs-deprived public. Also on tap: Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are Alright (co-starring Annette Benning, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and Mia Wasikowska), will kick the festival off on June 17, Despicable Me (the 3D animated flick featuring the voices of Steve Carell, Russell Brand, Jason Segal, Will Arnett and Julie Andrews) closes things down on June 27 and the Duplass brothers’ much-anticipated Cyrus will screen, too. After the jump, a list of the films in competition.

A little-known law of studio physics dictates that money earmarked for a Jerry Bruckheimer film cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one state to another. Look no further than Disney for the latest proof of this empiricism, in which the production budget of Bruckheimer’s latest Pirates of the Caribbean film will endure a cut while the marketing budget of Prince of Persia — opening May 28 — will result in a campaign that will haunt your effing dreams .

Even though Justified has lost approximately half of its viewers since its premiere — which was the most-watched in network history — FX is betting big on its Tim Olyphant drama by giving it another full-season order. That means that Graham Yost’s critically acclaimed project has 6 more episodes this season plus another 13 next year to pick up momentum before Sony has to begin cost-sharing conversations with DirecTV , Damages -style. Come on people, pay attention to quality.
The rest is here:

On Friday, as you may remember (or as you may not remember, if you quickly pushed the experience out of your mind to protect your mental well-being), I liveblogged a Very Special On Demand Viewing of The Human Centipede , so that any curious-but-potentially-squeamish readers could get a sense of whether or not they might want to subject themselves to the horrors of the moment’s most buzzed-about human/insect hybrid how-to film. As chance would have it, I followed up my afternoon Centipede screening with a night trip to Disneyland, where I placed myself in the thrall of yet another unspeakable cinematic abomination: the Magic Kingdom’s Captain EO Tribute, an attraction hastily revived following the death of embattled (but still generally beloved) star Michael Jackson. Surviving this unprecedented double-feature demands some kind of analytical reckoning, and so we’ve pitted the two in a point-by-point deathmatch to determine the superior work of art. Which will prevail? Let’s find out.

When comedy writer Justin Halpern started the Twitter phenomenon called “Sh*t My Dad Says,” he explained his dad-cataloguing like so: “I’m 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down sh*t that he says.” Tomorrow, a book of his dad’s bon mots will hit stores, and later this month, CBS may announce the series pickup of a comedy pilot based on the property, starring William Shatner as the irascible father. There’s just one thing. I kind of don’t believe his dad is actually saying this stuff anymore?
