VIDEO: Stephen King Reads from His Vampires vs. Psychic Sequel to The Shining

Accepting an award last weekend at George Mason University, novelist Stephen King treated the audience to a reading of a passage from Dr. Sleep , his still-in-progress follow-up to The Shining . Remember little Danny Torrance, running from his deranged father (Jack Nicholson) in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film version? Well, Danny’s all grown up now, using his gift to help people die peacefully. And there are vampires, because why not?

Which Would You Rather (Not) See: New Year’s Eve or Human Centipede 2?

In the brand new trailer for New Year’s Eve , Garry Marshall’s holiday-themed movie event that promises to give the phrase “ensemble romantic comedy” a bad name, Robert De Niro wonders what could possibly beat “New York on New Year’s Eve.” I’ll tell you what: Not throwing all of your actorly credibility out the window confetti-style to appear alongside Zac Efron, Jon Bon Jovi and Ludacris in a movie that features Ashton Kutcher trapped in an elevator with the annoying girl from Glee . You know what other moviegoers might also consider better than seeing Garry Marshall’s vision of NYC on New Year’s Eve? Tom Six’s Human Centipede 2 , which inspires similar nausea but for different reasons.

Black Swan Interns Seeking Class-Action Lawsuit to Curb Exploitation of Unpaid Labor

“The only thing I learned on this internship was to be more picky in choosing employment opportunities… Black Swan had more than $300 million in revenues. If they paid us, it wouldn’t make a big difference to them, but it would make a huge difference to us.” Recent college grad Alex Footman didn’t pick up many useful lessons during his time making coffee on the set of the Darren Aronofsky Oscar pic, but he and a fellow intern are attempting to change how Hollywood exploits labor does business. Good luck to the little guys? [ NYT via MovieCityNews ]

Ten Years Gone: Watch the American Reunion Photo Montage

Don’t pretend like a new American Pie movie couldn’t work . You sit through the sequels when they’re on Encore or TeenNICK, or whatever. Horniness is a watchable thing! In this new photo, we see the class of ’99 crowd the photo booth for old times’ sake. Don’t deny the cuteness.

See Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on Day One of Shooting for G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation

It’s hard to believe that G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation has become a legitimate summer tentpole from the time of its announcement to its first day of shooting, but that’s sorta what happened. Lots of that has to do with J.J. Abrams’s inability to get the ball rolling on Star Trek 2 in time for Paramount’s planned June 29, 2012 release date — resulting in Joe landing there — but with a cast featuring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson , Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki and possibly Bruce Willis , it has become hard to ignore G.I. Joe 2 ‘s potential for box office breakout next summer. Step one on that road is filming, which direct Jon M. Chu has commenced, and Johnson has commemorated on Twitter. Click through for a look.
