Today in Crazy Numbers: Breaking Dawn Will Cost Summit Entertainment $263.7 Million

Posted on March 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Considering the modest budgets of the first three films in the Twilight “saga” (gag), it’s a bit surprising to see just how much Summit Entertainment spent on the two parts of Breaking Dawn . The vampire baby-filled split-finale cost the studio some $263 million, a nearly $200 million increase from Eclipse . To be fair, Summit anticipates both films clearing $1 billion in combined revenues, so money well spent. Of course, where it was spent remains a mystery. Some of those extra dollars can be attributed to the reported $25 million salaries of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. The rest? Hey, glitter isn’t cheap… [ Wrap ]

Meghan McCain Apparently Not Thrilled With Game Change Casting

Posted on March 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Twitter star — and Bristol Palin basher — Meghan McCain has had knives out for the upcoming HBO movie Game Change since it was announced that the Mark Halperin and John Heilemann book was coming to the small screen. “I hope all the leakers that talked to Mark Halperin are pleased — that book is 70 percent fiction,” McCain wrote on Twitter last December. “I am sure the miniseries will come out in time for the next election to make sure everything Obama campaign related looks flawless. It’s like being part of something that never dies.” Now that casting has started up on Game Change in earnest, it appears McCain has some further thoughts on the telefilm.

Posted on March 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I was one of the few who wasn’t totally enamored with the Super 8 Superbowl spot , which felt rushed and uneven to me. Knowing full-well that my minority opinion probably caused J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg no grief whatsoever, I’d still like to go ahead and formally apologize, because this new full length trailer is phenomenal.

Is True Blood Going To Turn Eric Northman Into A Wimp Like Buffy’s Spike?

Posted on March 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Peroxide blonde Spike started out as a malevolent force of nature on Buffy the Vampire Slayer , but by the end of its run, he had been whipped into a puppy doggish version of his former sadistic self. No longer was he a leather-jacketed badass who had killed two Slayers, he was just a misunderstood poet who was simply looking to be loved. Blech ! And now it seems like Eric Northman might be going down the same primrose path to redemption. Should we panic?

Is King’s Speech Really Better Than Unforgiven, The Sting, and These Other Best Picture Oscar Winners?

Posted on March 5, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The folks at Rotten Tomatoes have tabulated their annual Best of the Best list, inserting Tom Hooper’s 2011 Best Picture winner The King’s Speech into the annals of Oscar history. But comparing great films to other great films has always been something of an apples to oranges situation; how can you measure, say, The Godfather Part II against An American in Paris — two very different films that occupy adjoining slots on the list and have the same Tomatometer ranking (98 percent)? With a carefully calculated algorithm, that’s how! Still… why does The King’s Speech not quite feel right sitting so high above other bona fide classics?

‘The Tsunami Keeps Cresting’: Charlie Sheen Heads to Haiti, Natch

Posted on March 5, 2011 by | Leave a comment

And that’s when Charlie Sheen officially morphed into a sweaty and twitchy edition of The Onion . Speaking with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, the future radio station said that he plans on heading to Haiti (!) with Sean Penn (!!) to do humanitarian work. “I’m excited as hell because, you know, if I can bring the attention of the world down there, then clearly this tsunami keeps cresting,” said Sheen in the most flagrant example yet of his addiction to mixed metaphors. What else is happening in Sheenworld?
