So, What Was Up With The Ending To Scream 4?

Posted on April 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Scream 4 had a rocky road to your local multiplex, going through multiple script revisions , much to the chagrin of its director and actors . But given the infinite number of possibilities that a Scream 4 script could go in, the ending that audiences saw was, to my eyes at least, odd and particularly unsatisfying. Is this really the ending (and the killer) that director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson intended? Major Scream 4 spoilers ahoy !

Will Indie Cougar Rom-Com The Rebound End Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Dry Spell?

Posted on April 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Though treatment for her bipolar II disorder shouldn’t hamper filming on her next two upcoming films, Catherine Zeta-Jones is, the LA Times points out, “in the midst of an unusual career dry spell.” Since her debut in the 1990 French film Les 1001 Nuits , Zeta-Jones had appeared in projects almost every year or two, but she hasn’t had a film open theatrically in wide release since 2007’s No Reservations .

Anna Faris Sells Paramount a Crazy Stalker Comedy Pitch

Posted on April 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Fresh off of her lengthy New Yorker profile — which argued that she is one of the few actresses capable of carrying a comedy these days — Anna Faris has successfully pitched Paramount, well, a comedy. The House Bunny actress will star in the untitled project as a woman whose new roommate “turns out to be a stalker from hell;” the idea stemmed from a funny incident that happened to Faris in real life. The script will be written by Deanna Kizis (author of How to Meet Cute Boys ) while Faris, Joe Roth and Palak Patel (both behind the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman ) will produce. [ THR ]

Early Press Go Bonkers for Transformers: Dark of the Moon Footage

Posted on April 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

A handful of online press got a sneak peek at Paramount’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon the other day, complete with face time with Michael Bay himself. Alas, Movieline was not in attendance, so we’ll have to take these other folks’ word for it and assume Transformers 3 could be the balls-out, insane, eyeball-searing giant robot war movie to end all giant robot war movies! Right, guys?!

Posted on April 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As soon as Paramount selected Jon M. Chu ( Step Up 2 the Streets, Step Up 3D, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never ) to direct their upcoming G.I. Joe sequel, the filmmaker faced the uphill battle of changing the perception that he was just a dance movie guy. But in a new interview, the helmer goes long on his love for the property, explains his vision for the sequel, corrects Rachel Nichols’ Tweet that certain characters might not return, and vehemently swears that he’d rather make a 2-D film than convert to 3-D in post.

Is Discussing Your Sex Life Publicly Really the Best Way to Promote Your Film?

Posted on April 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

What’s the best way to revive interest in a ’90s horror franchise? If you’re Scream 4 stars Courteney Cox and David Arquette, you might think the best marketing strategy involves complaining about your non-existent sex life on national TV and radio — which coincidentally, has nothing to do with the film you are hawking . Maybe they are onto something, though; appealing to the public’s basest interests — sex and tabloid gossip — might put asses into seats in spite of a project’s mediocre reviews and impertinence. Let’s take a look at the former couple’s Dirt y strategy and see if it’s worthy of replicating.

Assuming you are still be able to find a theater showing The Hangover Part II , the chances are good that you’ll throw down some hard-earned money when the film premieres over Memorial Day weekend.

Behind-the-Scenes Video of The Hobbit with Peter Jackson: Part 1 of 100

Posted on April 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Not only is Peter Jackson taking on the intense, arduous task of bringing another epic fantasy novel to life, but he’s still finding time to explain his technical decisions and also make ten-minute video diary entries for each step of the way. He’s just posted the first video, but given that production just started shooting, is it safe to assume we’ll see about a hundred of these before the movie finally hits?
