Following the example set last week by Cinemark, a number of independent theater chains and movie theaters have pledged not to screen Universal’s Tower Heist in protest over the studio’s plans to drastically shorten the release window. Lyndon Golin, chief executive of Regency Theaters (which is joined by the Emagine and Galaxy chains) explained: “We certainly support Cinemark… If their position is they won’t run it, then we won’t run it either. Movies shown in the home on such a short window is a dagger to our business.” [ LA Times ]

When Disney pulled the plug on its expensive Lone Ranger project , which was to reunite Pirates of the Caribbean cohorts Johnny Depp , Jerry Bruckheimer, and Gore Verbinski, a few industry-watchers held out hope that the studio and the filmmakers would yet still reach an agreement over how many hundreds of millions of dollars the would-be franchise would cost. Almost exactly two months later, it seems they’ve reached that compromise. More stupid money for someone!

As you may have heard , Disney shockingly put the brakes on the planned big-screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger that star Johnny Depp, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski were aiming to bring into theaters next Christmas. The reasons were budgetary — the cost of Ranger had reportedly ballooned to $250 million — but it appears that a mere (“mere”) $20-30 million is all that separates the studio from the filmmakers. Provided some cuts can be made — a task easier said than done, as backend deals and three large-scale action scenes revolving around trains reportedly threaten the compromise — The Lone Ranger could conceivably hit theaters at some point. Unless, of course, Disney realizes it might not be the best idea anyway.

Charles Schulz’s landmark comic strip Peanuts has occupied a unique niche in American pop culture. It’s part of a medium often aimed at children, and its cast is a group of kids under the age of 10, doing normal child-like activities like playing baseball, going to school, and ice skating. But these kids also talk about Beethoven, theology, and The Brothers Karamazov . They throw around words like “depressed” and “neurotic,” and one of them puts up a “Psychiatric Help” stand instead of selling lemonade. The strip balances hilarity with the fragility of life and the pain of existence, and that balance surfaces in Peanuts’ first two big-screen adventures, A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Come Home (both available this week as a two-disc DVD from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment).

Brian Taylor took a break from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance duties to trek down to SXSW in support of The FP — a film he describes as “a Jerry Bruckheimer action movie from the ’80s” where said action is Dance Dance Revolution. His ties to the indie action-comedy trace back to his close circle of filmmaking friends: Director Brandon Trost is a frequent DP and collaborator to Taylor and partner Mark Neveldine, while actors from Neveldine + Taylor’s Crank films also show up in The FP . As Taylor closed out his brief SXSW visit, he shared his love for The FP gang via phone along with details on Ghost Rider 2 ‘s new origin story, Crank 3 , and how one might go about filming a 3D movie… on the iPhone.

Slow clap for Entertainment Weekly , which today unveiled the cover of its latest issue screaming “The Bond movies in danger!” The story, which is not yet available online or in print, is said to evaluate the threat to the James Bond franchise from insolvent MGM and Daniel Craig’s other franchises — specifically, David Fincher’s adaptation of the Millenium Trilogy. Yikes! Panic much, anybody?

Not to OD on the kid or anything , but: The first glimpse of Justin Bieber on the set of CSI has arrived and it’s everything fans of his particular charms could have ever wanted: goofy, perfectly coiffed and totally out of place on CSI . No truth to the rumor that immediately after this photo was taken, executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer scolded the Biebster for playing with the prop corpse by shouting, “This is why we don’t have nice things!” Get the full image after the jump.

Early estimates for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice ‘s opening day are in, and they could most charitably be called “alarming”: The Nicolas Cage fantasy drew $3.7 million on 3,385 screens in the U.S. and Canada, setting some five-day projections below $30 million. That would result in the second straight Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer underperformer after Prince of Persia . Clearly it needed a better iPhone app . [ Deadline ]
