'The Crow' Remake Lawsuit Settled

2012-01-23T23:09:00.001-05:00

The on-and-off-again remake for the 1994 movie The Crow, starring Brandon Lee, has been plagued with issues by the studios involved. Apparently all has been settled and the movie will seemingly go on.

“The lawsuit between Relativity Media and The Weinstein Company concerning THE CROW has been amicably settled out of court, and the parties will continue to work on the film together as planned. In addition, Relativity Media has dismissed all of its claims against The Weinstein Company for any wrongdoing regarding the release and distribution of NINE, and The Weinstein Company has dismissed all of its claims against Relativity Media.”

At one point Bradley Cooper was set to play the title role, but some time has passed since those days and it's unclear at this time where the project is headed.

'Psycho' Gets A TV Prequel Series

2012-01-14T12:07:00.000-05:00

Much like the 1987 TV movie Bates Motel, A&E is resurrecting the idea for their network. Here's the latest...

A&E is continuing its push into scripted programming, developing series projects based on the famed hotel featured in Psycho and a Danish format about serial killers.
The network Friday announced it is in early development on Bates Motel, a potential series from Universal Television for A&E that would serve as a prequel to the Alfred Hitchcock 1960 classic Psycho.
The series would offer an understanding into how Norman Bates' psyche developed and would tell the back story of the film's killer, learning of how his mother, Norma, and her lover damaged him, transforming him into serial-killing motel owner. Anthony Perkins played Norman in the film.
Anthony Cipriano penned the script.
The project is not the first time a Psycho spinoff effort has been attempted. NBC aired a 90-minute TV movie titled Bates Motel in 1987.

2012-01-10T12:48:00.000-05:00

The full plot synopsis for Re5ident Evil: Retribution has been revealed, as well as a slight title change (adding a '5' in place of the 's' [I'm sure it'll look better capitalized]).

The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex.

Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

So what'd you think?

'The Evil Dead' Remake Has Its Lead

2012-01-05T23:39:00.001-05:00

The new lead character has been found for The Evil Dead remake. The original franchise's lead was Bruce Campbell who's character name was Ash, a girl's name. So, naturally, this time around, the lead will be a girl. Please welcome...Lily Collins.

Ghost House and Mandate Pictures are going BIG with their casting for their forthcoming remake of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead, which begins lensing this March in New Zealand.

Bloody Disgusting has learned exclusively that Lily Collins (The Blind Side, Priest, Mirror Mirror) is in final negotiations to play "Mia" in FilmDistrict's reboot aiming for release on April 12, 2013.

*Update* Mia is the LEAD, and is the female version of Ashley J. Williams (Ash), once donned by Bruce Campbell in the original trilogy. To reveal more would ruin the movie.

In this version, the story centers on five friends (David, Natalie, Eric, Olivia, and Mia) holed up at a remote cabin where they discover a Book of the Dead with a demonic force unleashed possessing each until only one is left to fight for survival. As we also exclusively reported, there is a drug subplot.

As previously explained, David is a mechanic and is engaged to Natalie. Mia is the friend who is heading to the cabin to detox; Olivia is her best friend/nurse. Eric, presumably, is the kid who unleashes the demons.

After a recent overdose, Mia struggles with her new-found sobriety. She begins acting insane, so it comes as no surprise that nobody believes her crazy claims of coyote dogs and trees attacking her!

Fede Alvarez directs the redo of Sam Raimi's cult classic 1981 The Evil Dead from his own screenplay co-written with Rodo Sayagues. Revisions were done by Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody.

'Paranormal Activity 4' Officially Confirmed

2012-01-04T00:34:00.001-05:00

So it's officially official, Paranormal Activity 4 has been confirmed...

This morning Paramount Pictures sent out a press release announcing that they earned $5.17 billion at the box office worldwide. Hiding within the story was a brief paragraph confirming that a fourth Paranormal Activityis well on the way (obviously).

We had previewed this title, among several others, in our Paramount Pictures 2012 horror movie preview.

The Paranormal Activity franchise has pulled in approximately $577 worldwide at the box office alone making it a near billion dollar franchise when you include home video. PA 3 took in a whopping $200 million worldwide, making a fourth film an obvious conclusion.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Is A Reboot, Not A Remake Says Webb

2011-12-17T11:40:00.001-05:00

This isn't exactly anything "new" to anyone who has payed any attention to the development of Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, but take this as confirmation: Webb's movie is not a remake of Raimi's...just a reboot of the series with a new origin story.

"I don't have a problem saying that word," says director Marc Webb. "It's not a remake, we're not making Sam's movie again. It's a different universe and a different story with different characters. There are certain mythological obligations people have in any story, but it's so radically different in terms of tone and what Peter Parker experiences that I'm very comfortable with the movie occupying a different space."

"I wanted to start from a place where it felt like, if you walked into the theatre, that it was the same universe you lived in," says the director. "Which is difficult when you have a giant lizard running down the street..."

"He's the literal embodiment of the theme of the movie, which is we all have a missing piece," says Webb. "He has no arm. Peter has no parents, and he fills that void with Spider-Man. Curt is not as strong as Spider-Man on the inside, but he wants to get back his arm and fill that void, and essentially he becomes a big bully."

Enough tell, Webb decides. It's time for some show, and so he asks Bell to cue up some scenes from his early, very rough, very unfinished cut. "The movie starts off pretty small and gradually merges into something that's more fantastic and vibrant and filled with scope," he says, and by way of illustration, runs three scenes in which we see Spider-Man swing. The first is entirely practical, with Garfield - in Parker duds - swinging around inside a disused warehouse, with the giant wired rig to which the whooping actor is attached yet to be deleted via CGI.

The second, from a little later in the film, is the only sequence Empire sees that is even somewhat redolent of Raimi-vision, as Spider-Man swings giddily along a bridge in pursuit of something, even running briefly on the side of a passing truck.

The third one, though, shows that Webb hasn't abandoned CG. Far from it. The sequence - which is from the third act so we'll be sure to tread carefully - features Spider-Man in pursuit of The Lizard (here seen just once, in very rough animatic form, from a distance as he scales a building), while being pursued himself by cops. Following an excellently staged fight with the cops, and an emotionally charged confrontation with, erm, A Major Character, the sequence follows a wounded Spider-Man as he tries desperately to swing across New York in order to save the day.

One thing's for sure - Twilight it ain't. "I haven't seen a Twilight movie, so i don't know how to comment on that," says Webb. "People may assume because it's me doing Spider-Man, it's more intimate. And it is, but one of the reasons I wanted to do it was to [frick]ing blow shit up, swing through the air and kick some ass."

Webb's Amazing Spider-Man will plant Peter firmly in his teenage years. He doesn't have a job (the Daily Bugle is mentioned, but won't be seen until the inevitable sequel), he likes to skateboard, he has uncontrollable hair, he's a kid searching for the truth about his parent's disappearance.

'American Psycho' Slated To Be Remade

2011-12-09T14:43:00.001-05:00

Since when did movies that were released in 2000 start being remade? Well, here's one that I know of. One of my all-time personal favorites, American Psycho, has been slapped on the remake chopping block. Ugh...

Noble Jones, who cut his teeth directing commercials, videos for Taylor Swift and Mary J. Blige, and handling second unit for David Fincher on The Social Network, hopes to make his feature directing debut on an updated low budget remake of American Psycho. Jones, who was Grammy nominated for his documentary 10 Days Out: Blues From the Backroads, is a Fincher protege who pitched the project months ago to Lionsgate, which holds the remake rights. Jones turned in a script about a month ago, but the project has suddenly become buzzed about because it hit the tracking reports that have become the cornerstone of trade reporting. His take was to tap the Bret Easton Ellis novel and turn it into a down and dirty new version that imagines how yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman would fare in New York today, factoring in how the world has changed since the 2000 film that starred Christian Bale. Noble’s repped by WME and Anonymous Content.

'American Reunion' Poster Is A Stellar Throwback To Original

2011-12-08T23:50:00.001-05:00

The newest poster for American Reunion is, in my opinion, one of (if not the) best posters for any type of "reunion" or "...years later" movie. It is a stellar throwback to the original American Pie's poster/one sheet. Check out both of them below.

Robin Williams Talks Sequels

2011-12-07T11:36:00.001-05:00

Actor/Comedian Robin Williams recently spoke to Moviehole about a few sequels he has been attached to over the years, and let us know exactly where they stand. Specifically, he talks Mrs. Doubtfire 2, The Birdcage 2, and Good Morning Chicago. Oh, and a "final" word on Flubber 2...

Caught up with one of my favourites from the world of TV (“And look at that, it’s a Ronald Reagan pen, it’s got no point”) and film (“I just want to begin by saying to Roosevelt E. Roosevelt, what it is, what it shall be, what it was. The weather out there today is hot and shitty with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it’s hotter than a snake’s ass in a wagon rut.”) this afternoon, Mr Robin Williams, for a chat (that’ll run here in full in a few days) and got some updates on some of those long-gestating sequels that the Oscar Wining actor and perilously talented comedian has been attached to over the years, to see what’s still on and what’s off.
Mrs Doubtfire 2
Even with Williams’s Jumanji co-star and talented actress Bonnie Hunt on scripting duties, it just didn’t come together.
Williams : “They could never write it. They kept trying and it doesn’t work.. because at the end of the first one they reveal who [Mrs Doubtfire] is. So it ends up being her for five minutes and then she transitions into some old Russian woman. They so far can’t crack it.”
Good Morning Chicago
Nobody’s ever been quite sure whether this one, a supposed sequel to Good Morning Vietnam (1987), was a real project or somewhat of an urban legend.
Williams : “That was actually real. They were trying to write it. It was based around the democratic convention in Chicago. Part of it worked, Part of it didn’t work because it’d be him dealing with the politics of revolt in Chicago at the time… but anyway, they did do [the script] but it didn’t all work. It was also a matter of trying to find someone to back it. It was almost there. It was a great idea! thanks for reminding me! Wow.”
The Birdcage 2
Unlike Good Morning Chicago and Mrs Doubtfire 2, Williams is more inclined to believe something could be cooking with a Birdcage sequel.
Williams : “They’re trying to figure out which [story] to write for that. We will see what happens”.
There’s also, despite the rumours, no “Flubber” sequel in the works nor has Williams been approached to lend his lungs to a third “Happy Feet” yet.

Bradley Cooper Talks 'The Hangover Part III'

2011-12-06T11:23:00.001-05:00

We knew this was going to happen eventually...Bradley Cooper confirms that The Hangover Part III is happening. And this is what is known as of now...

These guys had a couple of years to sober up and it looks like they’re ready for round three. In 2009, when “The Hangover” hit cinemas, the Warner Bros. comedy about three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, made tons of cash at the box office. It was no surprise that two years later, a sequel was spawned, following the exact same premise except this time, was set in Thailand.
Since the sequel grossed $200 million, there was of course talk of a third film back in June. At the time, most of the cast have said that they think the next film should be set in Amsterdam.
Fast forward to today, and Bradley Cooper has confirmed to the National Ledger that a third “Hangover” could be coming soon.
Cooper revealed filming on the third installment should begin next September (2012) and he believes the film will be set in California.
He tells TV host Graham Norton, “I hope we’ll start shooting next September. I know (director) Todd Phillips is working on the script. We stuck to the formula in the second one but the third would need to close the trilogy. I think it’ll take place in L.A. and not adhere to the structure.”
Glad they won’t be sticking to the same routine this time around. The second one was funny and all, but the same old thing can only work for so long.

Thanks to Moviehole for the scoop. Story was originally broke by The National Ledger.

'Insidious 2' May Be In The Works

2011-12-01T11:53:00.001-05:00

Sony Pictures has obtained a few web domains concerning Insidious 2 -- and thus, a sequel must be in the works...right? Not necessarily, but nonetheless, here's the latest...

A sequel appears to be in the works for the best cost-to-gross ratio movie of the year “Insidious”.
Horror movie fans may have something to look forward to in 2012 after Sony Pictures hinted that “Insidious 2″ is in production, after the company registered a handful of domains like Insidious2movie.com, Insidious2.net, and Insidious2-movie.net.
All three domain names were registered on November 28, 2011, through the internet brand protection company MarkMonitor.
“Insidious” cost $1.5 million to produce and worldwide grossed $97,009,150.
Last May, rumors of a sequel began swirling around the internet, but nothing definite was ever announced.
At the time of this posting, Sony Pictures has not said anything official, nor do any of the domains resolve to a web page.

Christian Bale Talks 'Dark Knight Rises'

2011-11-27T23:35:00.001-05:00

Christian Bale spared some time to talk a little about this co-stars in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. Bale also confirmed that this is the last time he will play the caped crusader.

LOS ANGELES – Christian Bale was in a good mood in our recent interview with him. The actor, who can be terse and very serious, was all smiles throughout our talk.
Christian refused to answer some questions in previous interviews, but in this chat at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, no such moment came. He revealed new details about “The Dark Knight Rises” and shared his thoughts about director Chris Nolan and some of his costars, including Anne Hathaway (Catwoman), Tom Hardy (Bane) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (John Blake).
The 2011 Oscar and Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor winner for his terrific work in “The Fighter” dished about his upcoming two films that reunite him with his “The New World” director, Terrence Malick (whom he calls Terry). He also shared his personal insights about working with Zhang Yimou in China in “The Flowers of War,” a Best Foreign Film contender in this awards season.
Long list
First on our topic list was his new “Dark Knight” castmates. Since it’s quite a long list of accomplished actors, we asked him to zero in on Anne, Tom and Joseph.
“I had plenty of scenes with Anne,” Christian began. “And I was there when we did the screen test for her. The thing that I said to Chris [Nolan] that day was that there were many very accomplished actresses who had read for the role. I’m terrible at auditions, so I’m very impressed when somebody really seems to acquire an ownership of a character without having worked on it or prepared for some amount of time.”
Hardest job

“I saw that in Anne,” he added. “When Chris watched the screen test, he agreed that Anne did a wonderful job. In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne’s role as being the toughest job of any of us. In my case, I’ve stopped referencing outside sources. I now reference Chris’ own world of Batman as a guide to what I will continue doing.”
He raved about Tom Hardy as “a phenomenal actor. I like working with him a great deal. He goes the whole hog. I know that Bane has been seen in movies before. But, in my eyes, Tom is essentially creating Bane for the first time so there’s great freedom for him to be able to do so.”
“Joseph is a very intriguing guy,” Christian said of the actor who last worked with Chris in “Inception.” Coincidentally, so did Tom. “I would see Joseph’s performances in other films while we were filming. He’s somebody who truly seems to love acting. He’s a good, smart guy. He did a very good job in the movie.”
Secret identity

Christian announced that this could be his last time as the masked vigilante whose secret identity is Bruce Wayne, an American billionaire who as a child witnessed his parents’ murder, leading him to a life of revenge on crime. “I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I’m taking that cowl [Batman hood] off,” he said. “I believe that the whole production wrapped yesterday, so it’s all done. Everything’s finished. It’s me and Chris – that will be the end of that Batman era.”
Christian admitted that playing Bruce Wayne “was enjoyable.” He explained, “We always maintained from the beginning that if you wanted to break it down, there are three personas – Batman is sincere, the private Bruce Wayne is sincere. The public version of Bruce Wayne, the playboy, is a completely fabricated performance.”
On other news about him, Christian confirmed that he will be making two movies with Terrence Malick, “Lawless” and “Knight of Cups” [Cate Blanchett is in both, too]. Smiling, with a hint of irony about Terrence’s reputation for taking extended periods of time to finish his films, the actor said, “Terry is going to defy all expectations, and we’re going to fly through those movies.”
In Yimou’s 1937-set “The Flowers of War,” Christian plays an American, John Miller, trapped in the besieged city of Nanking when it is invaded by the Japanese army. He is forced to pretend to be a priest as desperate civilians – schoolgirls and courtesans – seek refuge in a cathedral. An act of heroism inspires the disparate group to fight back.
On the difference he noted in filming away from Hollywood or London, Christian said, “Maybe it’s just the set-up that they have in China. Or, maybe, it’s because Yimou is the preeminent director there. So, there’s this autocracy. He will decide what is going to be shot at any given time. No need to explain it to anybody else. No producers get to differ with him. It could be a dictatorship, but Yimou is a very warm-hearted guy, so it never became that.”
“There are no unions for the film workers, so it’s seven-day work weeks,” he added.
“The speed with which everything got done was phenomenal, especially in terms of the set construction – the size, the grandeur of it.
“I arrived on the set and there were two sound stages which I assumed had been there for years – but no, they were built just for this movie.
“They built enormous acres of streets to replicate Nanking. They built a cathedral that wasn’t just a façade – it was made of concrete. This thing’s going to be around for 100 years. I found that phenomenal – the ability to get all of that done.”
He offered personal insights into the renowned Asian filmmaker, with whom he communicated via translators: “Yimou is one of the calmest directors I’ve ever come across. He never panics. You never see him worry. It doesn’t matter what problems are presented to him. He’s got a great sense of humor.
“We make each other cry with laughter and, half the time, we didn’t even know exactly what it was we were laughing about. You just get a feeling of kinship with him. He’s a master at what he does. He’s been doing it for so long.”

Joseph Mazzello Wants In On 'Jurassic Park 4'

2011-11-26T01:10:00.001-05:00

Joseph Mazzello, known for his role in 1993's Jurassic Park, wants in on the fourth film.

A couple of weeks ago we had Ariana Richards, Lexi from “Jurassic Park”, on the Hole Cast for the release of the dino-hit’s Blu-ray premiere. Though she hadn’t heard anything beyond the internet rumours, Richards naturally expressed interest in reprising her role as the computer-savvy youngster – the role that made her acting career – in the long-rumoured “Jurassic Park 4″.
Today, in an interview with HeyUGuys, Richards’ “Jurassic Park” co-star Joseph Mazzello said he too wants in on the inevitable sequel. Mazello, who has been shooting “G.I Joe 2: Retaliation”, even went one step further – he’s told Steven Spielberg to put him in the film.

I know they are writing it and it’s been developed right now. The last time I saw Steven was at the Emmys and I put the bug in his ear, I have no shame in that! I said, ‘Hey, let me know when you’re doing Jurassic Park 4, ok?’ If it came around and I was a part of it that would be an absolute thrill. I think it would be a great idea to have Tim grown up and see how that would affect things. We’ll see, you never know. If it happens it’ll be the greatest thrill of my life.
Mark Protosevich (“I Am Legend,” “Thor”) is currently writing the screenplay for the fourth film, with “Jurassic Park 3″ helmer Joe Johnston strongly rumoured to be retaining the directing reigns on the new film.
“It’s nothing like the first three,” Johnston told The New Zealand Herald. “It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.”
Scientist Jack Horner, whose research is funded by such parties as Universal and George Lucas, is already hard at work on the sciency side of the film.
The dino-man tells The Herald-Sun what palaeontologists know about dinosaurs has dramatically changed since he first teamed up with Spielberg in 1993.
“We’ve learned that dinosaurs were colourful, we’ve learned that dinosaurs were feathered. We’ve learned a lot about dinosaur behaviours, we’ve learned there’s a difference in how juveniles look and adults look… Jurassic Park 4 will look very different than Jurassic Park 3.
“We find a dinosaur, a new species of dinosaur, on average every seven weeks. I think recently it’s been probably like every five weeks. I found one last week.”
Steven Spielberg, meanwhile, tells Empire magazine that he hopes “Jurassic Park 4″ will be ”out in the next couple of years”:.

TV: 'The Munsters' Are Returning

2011-11-17T13:45:00.001-05:00

Now this is interesting. NBC plans to bring back The Munsters. No word on cast or premiere date, but this definitely something that SB will follow as it progresses. Speaking of The Munsters, whatever happened to the proposed movie adaptation the Wayans were rumored to do?

Less than 2 weeks after receiving Bryan Fuller’s script for The Munsters, NBC has given a pilot order to the Pushing Daisies creator’s reboot of the 1960s comedy. Universal Television is producing the project, described as an imaginative reinvention of The Munsters as a visually spectacular one-hour drama. Fuller originally developed The Munsters last season and his was one of very few scripts new NBC chief Bob Greenblatt kept in play when he took over the network in January. Greenblatt rolled the project to get it redeveloped by his team. Fuller’s new outline submitted in September was received well, and his new script was delivered to NBC early this month. Word is that the network envisions the new Munsters as a potential summer or event series. Like Fuller’s previous series, Pushing Daisies, the project features striking visuals mixed with all the classic Munsters archetypes. Grandpa Sam Dracula is essentially Dracula who assembled Herman because no man was good enough for his daughter Lily, a sexy vamp. Lily’s niece Marilyn the freak is actually normal and Lily and Herman’s only child, Eddie, has his werewolf tendencies surface in puberty, forcing the family to relocate to their famous 1313 Mockingbird Lane address. In addition to The Munsters, Fuller also has Hannibal, based on the Hannibal Lecter character, in contention at NBC for a straight-to-series order via Gaumont International TV.

'The Simpsons' Sequel Status Update

2011-11-17T11:52:00.001-05:00

Al Jean, executive producer of The Simpsons, recently spoke to Moviehole about the status of the inevitable sequel to The Simpsons Movie...

I had always felt it would be best to wait after the series concluded to do the Simpsons Movie, but when it became clear the show might never end, we decided we had to get cracking on the film. If there is a sequel, there would have to be a script we believed in as much as the first one. At the moment we are concentrating solely on the show.

Another Writer To Pen 'Godzilla' Remake

2011-11-14T00:15:00.001-05:00

This is getting a little repetitive now. Yet again, another writer has been tapped to pen a Godzilla remake/reboot.

Max Borenstein has been tapped to write the planned remake of Godzilla.

Gareth Edwards, the director of the indie sci-fi movie Monsters, is attached to direct the creature feature centered on the giant city-destroying and monster-fighting lizard, which is in development at Legendary Pictures.

Legendary's Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing along with Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Brian Rogers. Warner Bros. will distribute per its deal with Legendary.
David Goyer (The Dark Knight) previously worked on the script.

Borenstein, who just turned in his script for Art of the Steal for Warner Bros and producers Kevin McCormick and Zac Efron, is well acquainted with Legendary. He worked on the company’s in-development Jimi Hendrix biopic, Jimi, and rewrote the outfit’s supernatural fantasy The Seventh Son. The latter, based on the Joseph Delaney YA book, is due to go into production with Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore and Ben Barnes attached to star.
