Everyone seems to love the retro ’60s vibe of Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class . But do we really want to see Professor Xavier, Magneto, and Co. slogging through the not-quite-as-fashionable 1970s and 1980s in potential sequel story lines? (Think hard about this. On the one hand: Magneto in bellbottoms doing lines with Emma Frost at Studio 54. On the other: Dazzler.)

Will Theater Owners Make It Hard for You To See The Hangover Part II and Other Summer Blockbusters?

Posted on April 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When the news about Home Premiere — the DirecTV service that will allow subscribers to watch relatively new movies in their homes 60 days after release for the totally reasonable price of $30 — leaked during CinemaCon two weeks ago, the National Association of Theater Owners was predictably upset: “[We] repeatedly, publicly and privately, raised concerns and questions about the wisdom [of early on-demand movies],” said the group in a statement . “These studios have made their decision in what they no doubt perceive to be their best interests. Theater owners will do the same.” So they have — and now it affects you.

Adorable Harry Potter costars Jamie Campbell Bower and Bonnie Wright — who were born in 1988 and 1991, respectively — are engaged . That’s cute and unsettling. Children! They’re children! How many Toys R Us Geoffrey dollars will this cost them? Will they take their learner’s permits to town hall?

Joaquin Phoenix Considers Coming Out of Retirement For P.T. Anderson’s Scientology Film

Posted on April 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I’m Still Here star Joaquin Phoenix might cancel his early retirement to co-star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s much anticipated Scientology film, which was at one point titled The Master . Philip Seymour Hoffman will star as a charismatic leader a la L. Ron Hubbard; Phoenix would play Freddie Sutton, “an alcoholic drifter who becomes [Hoffman’s onscreen] right-hand man only to begin questioning his manipulative mentor.” Most importantly, this casting development brings us hope that the film, which was postponed last September before acquiring a 25-year-old financier , will actually be made.
