Guillermo Del Toro Says "Hellboy 3" Isn't Happening
Posted: March 12th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Movieweb recently caught up with Guillermo Del Toro, who spoke about "Frankenstein," "At the Mountains of Madness," "Pacific Rim" and the third "Hellboy" movie.


While he respects Universal Pictures' decision not to fund "At the Mountains of Madness," he said that the plan is to one day develop the film. "A hundred percent I'll try," the director explained. "With a little bit of luck we will find good terms to get it back from Universal."


"Pacific Rim," which is Del Toro's next helming gig, has been in pre-production for six months. "I was developing the visual bible for that," he said. "We hope to start shooting this September."


Regarding "Frankenstein," Del Toro has a meeting with Universal set for next week. Unfortunately, there are no meeting coming up about "Hellboy 3," because according to Del Toro: "There are no plans at all [for 'Hellboy 3']."

Marisa Tomei And Sarah Jessica Parker Circling Married And Cheating
published: 2011-03-12 15:52:17 Author: Mack Rawden
If I told you a sports movie was coming out and gave you no other information, what would you guess might be the vague construction of its plot? New coach comes aboard to impart winning attitude on hapless team. What about a horror movie? Psychopath terrorizes group of friends, mowing them down one by one. What about an independent film? That one’s a little harder, but I bet if I gave you three guesses one of them would involve philandering spouses. These story arcs might seem repetitive, to a degree they certainly are, but they exist because they’re proven winners. In the end, it doesn’t matter if the territory has been covered before, as long as the film has something new to say about it. Let’s hope that’s the case with Raymond de Felitta’s newest.


According to Variety, it’s aptly titled Married And Cheating, and it follows three couples as they navigate the ups and downs of their lives and deal with the ramifications of their decisions. The always reliable Marisa Tomei is negotiating to star alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, provided the financing comes together. These deals are always a bit dicey as you can’t sign anyone until the money’s done, but you can’t get money until people are signed. As a result, most of the time people verbally commit, checks are signed and then it all gets formalized.


I can’t help but be reminded of the underseen Your Friends And Neighbors. The Ben Stiller relationships indie never really caught on with viewers, but if Married And Cheating proves to be half as brilliant, we’ll all be in for something special.

 Danny Huston Joins Nic Cage As He Tries To Find His Daughter In Medallion
published: 2011-03-12 10:55:56 Author: Mack Rawden
What do coaches tell professional athletes in the middle of a cold streak? Think about the fundamentals, get back to basics, we still have confidence in you. The same message should ring true for actors with a few flops in a row. Trying new things is great, but in times of trouble, it's always best to steer your way out using what's worked before, and for Nicolas Cage that's a big budget action film that's approximately forty percent too ridiculous to actually happen. Drive Angry 3D and that Witch one went a little too far, but this new scaled-back project Medallionshould do the trick, especially now that Danny Huston is on board.


If you, like most people, didn't see last year's Warrior's Way, you missed out on a truly epic villain performance from Huston. Murdering, raping and slaying ninjas, he was a true original, and with any luck director Simon West will let him go for it in Medallion too. According to IndieWire, the actor has officially boarded the thriller, which will see West reteam with his Con Air star Nic Cage. The plot follows a criminal (Cage) as he enlists his partner (Malin Akerman) to find his kidnapped daughter hidden somewhere in the trunk of a taxi cab. Asses will be kicked, heads will roll and hopefully, people will shell out to see it.


Medallion is about to start shooting in New Orleans. There's no official release date, but if it ends up being as good as it could be, next summer is probably a good guess.

Over 70 Photos From The Tree of Life
Source: Kinopoisk.ru March 13, 2011




Some interesting news items have come online (and disappeared) about Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life recently. From visual effects supervisor Dan Glass saying a bit too much about certain creatures appearing in the film (hence the pulled articles), to the running time being revealed as 2 hours and 18 minutes.


Now comes a rather large gallery of photos from the film at Kinopoisk.ru (via TheFilmStage.com). The pictures feature mostly Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain. You can check them out by clicking here or on the photo below!

Opening in limited theaters on May 27, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

Streisand's Gypsy is a No-Go
Source: The Hartford Courant , Edward Douglas March 12, 2011




Back in January, there was a report in the New York Times that Barbara Streisand had met with Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents, co-writers of the 1959 Broadway musical Gypsy, to talk to them about playing Mama Rose in a movie version of the musical.


Well, it looks like that movie may not happen now according to Laurents, who spoke to the Hartford Courant's Frank Rizzo about how the project came together and how it now seems to not be happening anymore.


According to Laurents, it's Sondheim himself who questioned the reasons for making a movie based on their musical. Laurents told Rizzo the following story about talking with his partner who got cold feet:


"He said, 'What is the point of it?' And I said, 'They have this terrible version with Rosalind Russell wearing those black and white shoes.' And then Sondheim told me something that he got from the British -- and it's wonderful. He said, 'You want a record because the theater is ephemeral. But that's wrong. The theater's greatest essence is that it is ephemeral. You don't need a record. The fact that it's ephemeral means you can have different productions, different Roses on into infinity.'


"So I don't want it now. I don't want a definitive record. I want it to stay alive."


Laurents goes on to say that Streisand is disappointed with Sondheim's decision, especially because Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) was interested in directing the movie.


Streisand is staying busy following her appearance in Little Fockers by co-starring in the Seth Rogen comedy My Mother's Curse for Paramount with Anne (The Proposal) Fletcher directing.
