Details revealed for Oren Peli’s Area 51
November 11, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Director Oren Peli is still riding the high that is “Paranormal Activity,” and now he’s got another horror flick in the works called “Area 51.”
Not much is known about the film, but we know it centers on three teenagers who journey to the elusive Area 51 Air Force base in the Nevada desert. No matter how much is written or filmed about that area, people will always be intrigued. What DOES go on there anyway?
Maybe we’ll never know for sure, but Latino Review got their hands on a script/outline hybrid, revealing:
“It’s basically a scene-by-scene breakdown with …read more
Willem Dafoe returning to Spider-Man?
November 2, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
It’s been known for a while that Dylan Baker will reprise his role as Dr. Curt Connors in “Spider-Man 4,” allowing some of us to hope that The Lizard might emerge as Peter Parker’s newest foe.
But what about the villains we already know and love? Like Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin? Ok, sure he “died” at the end of the first “Spider-Man” movie, but he managed to appear in the two sequels as an apparition in a mirror, seen by his son, Harry.
While Dafoe says that “no one’s called” to ask if he’d be in the upcoming “Spider-Man 4,” he’s …read more
DiCaprio and Maguire teaming for The Third Man?
October 24, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Remember when Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire were on the TV show “Parenthood”? Yeah, me neither. But apparently, they were. There’s proof in the photo, courtesy of NBC.
Now they might be teaming again, because rumor has it they’re in talks to star in a remake of the 1949 classic “The Third Man.”
Here’s the plot: After arriving in post-WWII Vienna, Holly Martins learns that his friend Harry Lime, who invited him, was involved in a car accident. When Martin starts investigating the death, he finds out more than he bargained for.
“Eastern Promises” writer Steven Knight is rumored …read more
George Miller puts Mad Max 4 in motion
October 24, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Mad Max certainly has come a long way since 1979 – 30 years ago! – when Mel Gibson inhabited him for the princely sum of $15,000.
George Miller has written, directed and/or produced all the “Mad Max” movies, and he’s at it again. Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are rumored to be in talks for “Mad Max: Road Fury,” looking at a 2011 release date.
The Hollywood Reporter is now reporting that the movie will film Down Under next year in Sydney and outback New South Wales. Warner Brothers yanked “Green Lantern” off the continent, so maybe this movie and its …read more
Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen at The Stepfather premiere
October 13, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The “Gossip Girls” (and guys) came out for the premiere of “The Stepfather,” starring Penn Badgley as a guy who returns from from military school to find his mom (Sela Ward) happily living with her new boyfriend (Dylan Walsh). But Michael’s potential stepfather might not be all he’s cracked up to be.
The thriller hits theaters Oct 16, 2009, and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, disturbing images, mature thematic material and brief sensuality. It also stars Amber Heard, Sherry Stringfield, Jon Tenney, and Paige Turco. It looks darn creepy!

Angelina Jolie to replace Charlize Theron on The Tourist?
October 13, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Filming is set to begin on the thriller “The Tourist” in early 2010, if you believe the IMDB page, that is. I can’t imagine how that’s going to happen, considering all the changes the film has endured.
First, we learned that Tom Cruise was out and Sam Worthington was in. Then director Bharat Nalluri was out, and is yet to be replaced. Now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Charlize Theron is out, and Angelina Jolie in talks to replace her.
Let’s hope they can figure it all out by the time filming starts. The film is a remake …read more
Katie Holmes: Sure, I’d be in a vampire movie
October 7, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Featured in the November issue of Elle magazine is Katie Holmes, who can be seen in the upcoming horror-thriller “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.”
In the Elle interview, Holmes talks about fashion, Tom Cruise, and the possibility of a vampire movie in her future. Yeah, she has that sort of dark look that would do well in a supernatural movie.
Robert Pattinson to play Prince Harry?
October 5, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Robert Pattinson is rumored to be at the top of the list to play Prince Harry in a new biopic titled “The Spare.” I can see that. For one thing, the movie would have a huge built-in audience with all of the Pattinson and “Twilight” fans. And he’s British, so no worries on the accent.
On the other hand, the other actor in the running, Rupert Grint of “Harry Potter” fame, actually looks more like the prince. Who would YOU like to see in the role?

Truce called between Megan Fox and Michael Bay? He invites her back for Transformers 3
October 2, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
It’s so hard to know where things stand with Michael Bay and Megan Fox and their he-said-she-said relationship. This past year, she slammed him for being more action-oriented than ACTING-oriented. Meanwhile, he said she’s young and doesn’t know what she’s talking about. You know, whatever.
But, hey! He’s invited her back for “Transformers 3,” announcing today on his Web site: “Well its official. We have a great ‘Transformers 3’ story. The release date is now July 1st, 2011. Not 2012. Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I’m …read more
No, Brett Ratner, you shouldn’t make a biopic on Roman Polanski
October 2, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
It sure didn’t take long for a film about Roman Polanski to start moving along. Ok, it’s probably been in the works for a while now, waiting for things to surface in the news again, as they have this week.
Filmmaker Brett Ratner has announced his plans to make a documentary about Polanski, possibly a sequel to Marina Zenovich’s 2008 doc, “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.”
Ratner is in the “forgive and forget” camp (which I don’t agree with, by the way). He has said that Polanski has been “forgiven” for having unlawful sex with 13-year-old Samantha Geimer in …read more
