DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek spinoff Puss in Boots is racing into theaters on Friday, a week earlier than originally scheduled. Director Chris Miller and voice cast including Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek and Zach Galifianakis joked their way through a press conference over the weekend, and Movieline was there to bring you some of the slightly more serious communiqués from the PIB team:

It’s here! And… it stinks. In fact, the Taylor Lautner action “thriller” Abduction was rocking that all-too-rare, Bucky Larson -esque 0-percent Rotten Tomatoes ranking (“Its Tomato score got abducted!”, a witty reader advised me last night) Thursday night before a couple so-and-so’s from a recklessly forgiving enterprise called “Urban Cinefile” give it a thumbs-up. But there remains plenty of bile to drizzle over your breakfast — and the likes of Roger Ebert haven’t even chimed in yet. In Movieline’s grand, Friday-morning tradition , let’s have a taste!

Studio boss Jeff Robinov confirmed this week that Warner Bros. and DC Comics have every intention of exploring a sequel to Green Lantern , this despite a meager $53 million opening, a disappointing global gross around $160 million, a budget rumored to be well north of $200 million (plus $100 million in marketing) and — insult, meet injury — a fusillade of scathing reviews . “We had a decent opening so we learned there is an audience,” Robinov told the Los Angeles TImes . “To go forward we need to make it a little edgier and darker with more emphasis on action…. And we have to find a way to balance the time the movie spends in space versus on Earth.” Huh. “Edgier”? “Darker”? But how? Time to put on our Green Lantern 2 development thinking caps!

From Transformers to G.I. Joe to this weekend’s The Smurfs , children of the ’80s have lost many a Saturday morning cartoon memory to the cash-grabbing clutches of the Hollywood remake machine.

Composer David Arnold this week reaffirmed his interest in having Amy Winehouse contribute the vocals to the next James Bond theme song, which Arnold will assist in writing for Sam Mendes’s untitled 007 film set to shoot this fall. It’s a natural inclination considering the singer’s vintage ’60s style and tone (assuming you want to go vintage; there’s always the Duran Duran or Chris Cornell route, I guess), but then there’s that minor problem of Winehouse being unshakably strung out on booze and/or drugs. Plan B might be in order. That’s where you come in.

Let’s hear it for Mars Needs Moms ! The Robert Zemeckis-produced animated film crashed into the uncanny valley over the weekend with an estimated gross of just $6.8 million — which would be bad enough if Moms didn’t cost Disney a reported $150 million to make.

With Mars Needs Moms well on its way to becoming one of the biggest Hollywood debacles ever, what better time to remember some of Hollywood’s other biggest debacles? Ahead, nine of the worst bombs to ever detonate at a theater near you.
