Madness of King George Producer Planning ‘Bomb-Proof’ Big-Budget Princess Diana Biopic

“It’s an amazing story… what is quite clear is that her [Princess Diana’s] life was an amazing life. She was a wagonload of monkeys but she was also an amazing, fascinating, ballsy woman.” Producer Stephen Evans, talking to Screen Daily, explained why his $50M take on Princess Diana’s life — leading up to her divorce from Prince Charles, ending before her Dodi Al Fayed years — is such a no-brainer. “”You don’t often get a movie like this where you know, that if you can make it work, it is bomb proof.” Classy!

Resident Evil 5’s Undead Will Ride Motorcycles and Shoot Guns

Deep thought of the day: They say if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. But if an undead creature rides motorbikes and shoots guns, is it still a zombie?

Judging Kid Star Thomas Horn’s Performance in Extremely Loud… Based Only on His Jeopardy! Expertise

Thomas Horn, who plays the 9-year-old protagonist in this winter’s Tom Hanks/Sandra Bullock feature Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (which is gaining Oscar steam), gives a somewhat stilted first impression in the movie’s trailer. He came off much stronger as a champion on Jeopardy! , where he towered over last year’s Kids Week with a $31,800 finish. I say we judge his potential based on his Trebekian skills, not his trailer prowess. Which categories did he soar in? And are they helpful when solving Tom Hanks’s key riddle?

Quickly, Let’s Come Up With 20 Hilarious New Titles for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I accept that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will be the sensation of winter, and not just because it looks fantastic in its new trailer. Stieg Larsson’s thrilling Millennium series is perfect for David Fincher’s dark auteurship, and I expect his protege Rooney Mara to pull off protagonist Lisbeth Salander’s Nordic grit. In the meantime, though, Lisbeth’s cartoonishly goth appearance (shown in the movie’s new photos ) is too bizarre not to mock, and I need to get some snark out of my system before the wave of great buzz sweeps through fall. Here are 20 mocking new titles.
