How Julia Roberts Saved Fireflies in the Garden… and the Latest in the Snow White Wars

Julia Roberts shot newbie director Dennis Lee’s ensemble family drama Fireflies in the Garden four years ago, but after an infamously disastrous Berlin Film Festival showing and distributor drama at Senator Films, the indie film languished for years on the shelf. Last night at their premiere in Los Angeles Lee told Movieline how Roberts saved the film from direct-to-video hell and Roberts explained why her upcoming project, Snow White , will be worth the price of admission.

American Reunion Redband Trailer Proves Things Haven’t Changed Since Jason Biggs’s Pie Days

Good news and bad news about American Reunion based on the very first (and very redband) teaser trailer that has just surfaced: Jason Biggs’s Jim still isn’t locking the door when he masturbates. This could be good news for American Pie purists who hoped the franchise would get back to basics this April, and bad news for fans who hoped Jim would never have to pleasure himself again with footwear after marrying Alyson Hannigan’s band geek Michelle in the third and most recent Pie installment, American Wedding .

Joel Schumacher on His Career, His Critics, and Why It’s OK to Laugh During Trespass

There’s no stopping Joel Schumacher , the 72-year-old filmmaker who returns to screens this week with the thriller Trespass . Though to invoke his name in some circles is to invite wishes he would stop; Schumacher has never been an especially popular director among the critical elite, and his latest film, a wild home-invasion potboiler co-starring Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman , won’t necessarily change things. But you know what? That’s a good thing — at least for Schumacher.

Did You Pay to See Twelve in Theaters? Movieline Wants Your Stories!

The numbers are in for the second, far more limited, and presumably final weekend of release for Joel Schumacher’s outlandish , preposterous teen-excess drama Twelve . And they’re not good: A week after grossing a stunning $477 per screen (adjusted up from the original $463 average ), the film tumbled to an even more abysmal $286 average on (appropriately) 12 screens. The total gross as of Sunday was $181,591, meaning roughly 17,000 Americans paid money to see a film with a 4-percent fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating . If you’re among them, Movieline wants to hear from you!

Ice Cube, Are We There Yet? Reportedly Close to 90-Episode Megadeal at TBS

Remember when shows like Home Improvement would let you in on “100th Episode” after-parties, and you’d see Patricia Richardson cutting a big cake and Zachary Ty Bryan sniffling into his own flannel pullover? Well, the 100-episode hallmark is apparently no longer as momentous — because Ice Cube’s new sitcom Are We There Yet? is reportedly close to a 90-episode order only after airing 10 on the cable network.

True Blood Sex and Violence Meter: Seduce and Destroy

After several weeks of fussin’ and fightin’, everyone on True Blood just wanted to get laid this week. Still, not everyone made it out of their long-rumored sexual assignations alive. Let’s tally up the new episode’s sex and violence to see which was on top (ahem).

Twelve Opens to Horrible $463 Per Screen

Hoo boy: Joel Schumacher’s slick, abysmally reviewed privileged-teen drama Twelve earned an estimated $107,000 over its opening weekend — averaging out to a lower-than-anybody-expected average of $463 per screen. (And that figure’s on the high side; another analyst is calling it for $90,000, or $380 per screen.) It’s by far the worst opening of Schumacher’s career. Among films over-narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, meanwhile, it rests comfortably as No. 1 all-time. [ Box Office Mojo ]
