Beyonce Covers 'Cleo' July 2011

Beyonce heats up the cover of Australian magazine Cleo’s July issue.

The 29-year-old entertainer recently updated her Facebook page and teased fans with what they can expect from her upcoming album, 4.

“The album is definitely an evolution. It’s bolder than the music on my previous albums because I’m bolder. The more mature I become and the more life experiences I have, the more I have to talk about. I really focused on songs being classics, songs that would last, songs that I could sing when I’m 40 and when I’m 60,” she wrote.

In case you missed it, check out Bey’s other July magazine covers for L’Uomo Vogue and W!

FYI: Beyonce will be performing on NBC’s Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular hosted by Nick Lachey, set to air Monday, July 4, at 9/8 p.m. ET/CT.

Blake Lively Covers 'Madison' July 2011

Blake Lively is white hot on the cover of Madison’s July issue.

Here’s what the 23-year-old Green Lantern star had to share with the Australian mag:

On the benefits of living in Manhattan: “Living in New York City helps me a lot. If I lived in a place which was more quiet and calm it would be a challenge to work as much as I do, but the city is always alive. It’s constantly breathing and pushing you through, so it makes it easier to be awake. You feed off the energy of the city, the people, the lights and sounds.”

On her love for fashion: “I appreciate design so much and have done so since I was a child. My mom and sisters were models. They always loved clothes and any sort of design. Fashion is something I’ve always admired - so being exposed to it and sitting in Paris next to [designer] Karl Lagerfeld and looking at the couture pieces, seeing the sketches and hearing how they are designed, it’s like … [sighs]”

On being called a fashion icon: “That stuff makes me feel so shy. If people like what I wear, that’s the cherry on top of everything else.”

Channing Tatum Attached to Produce and Star in BLOOD BROTHERS
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: June 18th, 2011
Eric Nazarian and Sergei Bodrov have sold the pitch Blood Brothers to Chernin Entertainment. Channing Tatum is attached to star, and on board as a producer with Nazarian (The Blue Hour) and Bodrov (Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan). Details are scarce, but according to Variety, the movie will be a suspenseful thriller set in Russia.


Tatum is currently in New Orleans filming 21 Jump Street, scheduled for release on March 16, 2012. The actor has four films in the can: Ten Year (December 30), Haywire (January 20, 2012), The Vow (February 10, 2012), and The Son of No One (no release date set). Other projects on the horizon include the Steven Soderbergh collaboration Magic Mike, a Peter Pan re-imagining, and G.I. Joe 2: Cobra Strikes. http://collider.com/channing-tatum-blood-brothers/97202/


Guillermo Del Toro Will NOT Direct "Hellboy 3"
Posted: June 19th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Ever since "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" hit theaters, Guillermo Del Toro has been saying that he would love to direct a third/final installment. Unfortunately for "Hellboy" fans, Del Toro is working on more projects than he can handle, making the third film less of a priority every day.


Back in March, the director said that there have been zero discussions about "Hellboy 3" at Universal Pictures. And now, Mike Mignola, the creator of the "Hellboy" comic book, confirmed that Del Toro will never return to the franchise.


"Last I heard he said he would not make it," said Mignola. "In every interview there's a new story on what his next movie is and he honestly believes he's going to do all these things. But last I heard, he said 'I'm never gonna get back to Hellboy.' I'm not surprised because he won't live long enough to do a tenth of the movies he's told me he's going to make."


It's no surprise that Universal is not eager to continue the franchise, since the first two installments failed to make back the budget domestically.

David Dobkin's King Arthur Reboot Finds Home At Warner Bros.
published: 2011-06-18 09:17:50 Author: Sean O'Connell


Hoping to tap into the reboot magic that worked so well on Guy Ritchie’s reimagined Sherlock Holmes, Warner Bros. reportedly is going back to the drawing board on the King Arthur legend for a potential tentpole picture. But it’s the studio’s choice in director that sets this story of yet another remake apart from the pack.


Variety says WB wants David Dobkin, of Wedding Crashers and the upcoming body-switch comedy The Change-Up, to helm the period adventure from his own script. That likely means this Arthur will be a blend of action and comedy -- probably in line with Dobkin's own Shanghai Knights, with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson -- than the humorless, Jerry Bruckheimer-backed version that tanked in 2004, even with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley in the lead roles.


The key will be casting. Audiences have been reluctant to embrace a modern telling of the Round Table knights, but putting the right actors in place could spell the difference between Kevin Costner’s blockbuster Robin Hood: Pribce of Thieves and Russell Crowe’s largely ignored (though underrated) Robin Hood with Ridley Scott. Who knows? Maybe if The Change-Up really works, we’ll see Ryan Reynolds as Arthur and Jason Bateman as Lancelot. Toss in Kristen Wiig as Guinevere, and I’ll get in line tomorrow for that version.

Fergie Covers 'Allure' July 2011

Fergie takes the cover of Allure’s July issue.

Here’s what the 36-year-old singer had to share with the mag:

On her age: “I’m definitely young at heart, and I always will be, I’m just trying to age gracefully.”

On her body: “I think people think that I’m pregnant sometimes because my weight fluctuates … My problem is my discipline. I see a Jack in the Box or a Del Taco, and I will impulsively want it. I’m a work in progress in that area … I gain and lose weight everywhere from the thighs up.”

On her relationship with Black Eyed Peas bandmate will.i.am: “There is conflict, he’s very protective, and it drives me nuts because I do a lot of my best work, writing-wise, when I’m completely alone.”

On working so hard: “I took a break to have a wedding. I’ve definitely committed some time this year to the Peas, but not as [much as] I have in previous years. I need balance in my life, and the guys understand that … I don’t think Will ever wants a break. We’re very different in that way.”

On her looks: “I’ve learned to love my nose because it’s unique. It’s interesting, and it just makes me a little different.”

FYI: Fergie is wearing a Herve Leger by Max Azria leather harness.

Chris Evans Covers 'GQ' July 2011

Chris Evans wears Gucci on the cover of GQ magazine’s July 2011 issue.

Here’s what the 29-year-old Captain America star had to share with the mag:

On getting over his initial reluctance to take on the role of Captain America: “I said no a bunch, and every time I said no, I woke up the next morning so happy and content. I kept saying no; they kept coming back. And eventually I was like, ‘You know what? This is your biggest fear—this is exactly what you have to do.’”

On his character in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: “The character’s supposed to be this horrible actor and a d—–bag, and I get the job and so many people were like, ‘You’re perfect, you’re gonna crush it!’ ” he continued with feigned anger. “I was like, So I got this role as an a–hole actor, and you guys think I nailed it? That I’m a natural and that nobody in town can do it better?”

On how seeing sunsets are the “happiest” times in his life: “The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it’s so great, because for a little bit I’m out of my brain, and it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.”

Ryan Gosling Won't Direct The Idolmaker Remake-- He's Just Too Busy

published: 2011-06-03 09:26:12 Author: Katey Rich
It wasn't even a month ago that we reported Ryan Gosling would make his directorial debut with The Idolmaker a remake of the 1980 film about a music producer who turns a saxophone player into a star. Gosling was plenty busy at the time, as we pointed out then, with commitments to projects ranging from the small-scale crime drama The Place Beyond The Pines to a remake of Logan's Run. Now Gosling has apparently gotten the memo that he's a little too busy for his own good, and according to Deadline let MGM know that he won't be able to direct The Idolmaker after all.

The change may have happened because Bradley Cooper has confirmed he'll join Gosling in Pines, meaning that project can go ahead and shoot this summer under Gosling's Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance. From there Gosling will star along with Sean Penn and Josh Brolin in the period crime drama Gangster Quad, and at some point he does have to run away from the futuristic authorities in the Logan's Run remake. MGM is going to keep developing Idolmaker and hope that Gosling might return to work on it, but given how wide-ranging the guy's interests are who knows when he might come back. With his Cannes hit Drive coming at some point this year, and also a turn in the rom-com Crazy Stupid Love this summer, Gosling keeps bolstering his reputation as one of the most interesting actors working today. He's just not going to add "director" to that description any time soon. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Ryan-Gosling-Won-t-Direct-The-Idolmaker-Remake-He-s-Just-Too-Busy-25038.html

Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser And Craig Robinson Will Revive The 60s In Freaky Deaky

published: 2011-06-03 08:19:22 Author: Katey Rich
Elmore Leonard's clever crime novels have made for some terrific movies over the years, including the great 90s triumvirate of Get Shorty, Out of Sight and Jackie Brown. He's even the godfather of the current FX series Justified, having created the character Raylan Givens that Timothy Olyphant plays. The last Leonard novel to be adapted into a film was the virtually unseen 2009 film Killshot, but he's giving it a go again with an adaptation of Freaky Deaky , a crime story that just bulked up its cast.

According to Variety Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser and Craig Robinson will all join William H. Macy in the film, about two ex-hippies who concoct a plot to build some bombs and scare a Hollywood producer out of his cash. Fraser will be playing one of the hippies, who now works as a pyrotechnics expert, and Macy will play the mogul with the delicious name of Woody Ricks. Robinson will play a former Black Panther who works with the mogul, while Dillon, ever in hero mode, plays the square-jawed LAPD bomb squad officer who discovers the plot. The film is being direct, producer and adapted by Charles Matthau, founder of The Matthau Company and, indeed, son of Walter Matthau; his directing credits go all the way back to 1988's Doin' Time on Planet Earth.

They'll be changing a few details of Freaky Deaky such as shifting the time setting from the late 80s to 1974, a change Leonard himself approved of. Rights to the novel had at various point been in the hands of Quentin Tarantino and John Malkovich, and it's hard to know what to expect out of this one, though also hard to argue with this motley assortment of character actors who typically liven up every film they're in. Production starts this June in Michigan, once Matthau picks the woman he wants to play the female lead-- in the book, Fraser's character Skip Gibbs is working alongside female ex-con Robin Abbott. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Matt-Dillon-Brendan-Fraser-And-Craig-Robinson-Will-Revive-The-60s-In-Freaky-Deaky-25036.html

Nicholas Hoult Covers 'BlackBook' June/July 2011

Nicholas Hoult heats up the cover of BlackBook’s June/July “Outsiders” issue.

Here’s what the 21-year-old X-Men: First Class star had to share with the mag:

On being watched onscreen: “There are so many people watching you. I enjoy the acting part. But then I forget that people are actually going to watch it.”

On his sex scenes in Skins: “We grabbed a couple glasses of vodka and some champagne at 8 in the morning, and we just went on and did it.”

On self doubt: “I still worry that I’m never going to get another job. Whenever a new film comes out, I always worry that it’s going to be the one people look at and go, ‘Don’t ever hire him again.’”

On working with Colin Firth in A Single Man: “I was doing my American accent, and Colin was doing his usual English accent, but I was letting mine slip. I remember thinking, Uh oh, I’m in trouble. But Colin is very relaxed and free, which made my job easy. There’s a fantastic subtlety to his acting, like you can read every thought and emotion that passes through his mind.”

We’ve got a few casting stories for you today. First up, Matthew Macfadyen (The Three Musketeers) has joined the cast of director Joe Wright’s (Hanna) adaptation of Anna Karenina. The Daily Mail (via Dark Horizons) reports that Macfadyen replaces Benedict Cumberbatch in the role of Oblonsky in the film version of Leo Tolstoy’s classic tragic love story.

First Trailer for THE VOW Starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: June 3rd, 2011

The first trailer for director Michael Sucsy’s (Grey Gardens) drama The Vow has gone online. Starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum, the film was inspired by a true story and centers on a young woman (McAdams) who loses all recent memory in a car accident and struggles to rebuild her identity, while her husband (Tatum) tries to win her heart for the second time. Surprisingly, this is not based on a Nicholas Sparks novel.
Judging from the trailer, the flick looks like it’s better than it has to be. McAdams is a fine actress, and Sucsy’s work on HBO’s Grey Gardens was fantastic. Tatum’s been trying to work his way into more dramatic fare (both in acting and producing), but I’m still not sold on him as a serious actor. Hit the jump to watch the trailer for yourself. The Vow hits theaters February 10^th, 2012. http://collider.com/the-vow-movie-trailer/94638/

Jim Carrey Working on "Bruce Almighty" and "Dumb and Dumber" Sequels

Posted: June 4th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


ComingSoon caught up with Jim Carrey, who revealed that he's planning to bring back some of his most popular characters.

"We're talking about maybe returning to some old characters that everyone has been asking about," he said. "There's 'Bruce Almighty' and we're talking about maybe another 'Dumb and Dumber.'"

Tom Shadyac directed "Bruce Almighty" and "Evan Almighty," but it's unlikely he'll want to return for another installment out of fear of making money or being forced to use a cell phone [read story here].

Regarding a "Dumb and Dumber" sequel, the Farrelly brothers spoke about the film three months ago, stating: "If we could get those two guys back together, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels that might be a worthwhile sequel – and that ball is in motion. We're starting to think about what those two dimwits would be doing twenty-years later in life, and hopefully we'll be able to come up with something worthy of a sequel."

New Featurette for THE HANGOVER PART II

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 19th, 2011 at 1:24 pm

Warner Bros. has released a five-minute featurette for The Hangover Part II. I watched it not because I wanted to get a head-start on the jokes or to hear about how the actors had such a fun time making the movie.  I wanted someone to explain how this movie isn’t simply a retreat of the first film.  Perhaps some people want more of the same and that’s fine, but a change of setting and some new shenanigans may not be enough to carry the movie.  I get incredibly nervous every time I hear Stu say “I can’t believe this is happening again!”  Unfortunately, this featurette features no explanation and it actually has a potentially major spoiler if you’re checking the background for a certain character.
But if you want to hear the cast talk about how the movie is better without scaring off the people who are afraid of getting anything different from their sequels, then hit the jump to check out the featurette.  The film stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis.  The Hangover Part II opens May 26th. http://collider.com/hangover-2-featurette/91777/

Vin Diesel to Produce and Star in Action-Comedy THE MACHINE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 19th, 2011 at 1:02 pm

Vin Diesel provided the voice for eponymous character in 1999’s The Iron Giant and he’s about go back to robotics.  Heat Vision reports that Diesel will produce and star in the action comedy The Machine for MGM.  Diesel will play “a human-like machine created in secrecy by the Pentagon as the world’s first true ultimate weapon. Twenty years after the project was buried and decommissioned for reasons unknown, The Machine is discovered by a kid who befriends him. When the government learns it has been reactivated, the Machine must protect the family harboring him.”  So it’s kind of like The Iron Giant except without the charming animation.

Lindsay Lohan Might Not Be in GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS After All
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 3:18 pm


As of now, the confusion regarding Lindsay Lohan’s status in director Barry Levinson’s Gotti: Three Generations is rivaled only by the confusion regarding her life in general. Back when Nick Cassavetes was still directing, Lohan was in talks to play Gotti’s daughter, Victoria. Then, after Cassavetes’ departure, she dropped out of the film for a hot minutes only to rejoin the project as Gotti Jr.’s wife. Flash forward to the present, and TheWrap reports that Lohan is probably on the outs once again. In an exclusive with Levinson, the director states that “She’s possibly not (in the film) because she’s got her issues, and we also got to write the script, and then we’ll see where it is.” Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the oft-publicized actress…
Regardless of Lohan’s inclusion, Gotti: Three Generations will almost definitely star John Travolta as John Gotti Sr. and Al Pacino as crime family underboss Neil Dellacroce. Levinson also confirms that the film will most likely be in front of cameras by the end of the year.

Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen to Star in VERY GOOD GIRLS Alongside Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 4:05 pm

Dakota Fanning and Sundance breakout Elizabeth Olsen have joined the cast of Very Good Girls alongside Dustin Hoffman, Sissy Spacek and Peter Sarsgaard. Written and to be directed by Namoi Foner (Running on Empty), the film tells the story of two teenage girls in New York City who decide to lose their virginity the summer after they graduate high school. Things get complicated, however, when they both fall for the same charismatic street artist (I hate it when that happens).
Olsen broke out in a big way at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, thanks in part to her harrowing turn in the drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, the creepy trailer for which was just released last week. Variety reports that production on Very Good Girls starts this September.

Alex Pettyfer Will Play Channing Tatum in MAGIC MIKE
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 4:55 pm

A couple of weeks ago, we brought you the news that Steven Soderbergh will be directing Magic Mike, a male stripper film inspired by and starring Channing Tatum. Tonight, Deadline confirms that Alex Pettyfer will be playing the role of Channing Tatum alongside, you guessed it, Channing Tatum. Confused yet? Let’s have a quick review: Channing Tatum has a foray into male stripping around the tender age of 19 (pretty standard stuff, right?). He is now, for all intents and purposes, a movie star. Star presence in hand, Tatum pitches the idea for Magic Mike to director Steven Soderbergh who quickly accepts calling it “…one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie.” Now, Tatum will play the lead role of “Mike” a dance/stripper teacher who shows Pettyfer’s character (Tatum’s 19 year-old-stripping self) the dance/stripping ropes.
Hopefully this helps clear up any confusion surrounding Pettyfer’s turn as Tatum in Magic Mike. Penned by Reid Carolin, the film is described as a “story of friendship set in the world of male strippers.” Apparently it takes place during a “wild summer” and lots of “dancing, partying, and women” are involved. Sounds great to me. By Soderbergh’s own previous admission, Saturday Night Fever will be a heavy influence for Magic Mike. Production details for the project are currently undisclosed.

Ashton Kutcher to Join TWO AND A HALF MEN
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 6:28 pm


It looks like the casting circus surrounding Two and a Half Men is finally over. Sources have confirmed to THR that Ashton Kutcher is putting the final touches on a deal to join the cast of the sitcom, filling the void left by Charlie Sheen after he decided acting sane was too much to ask of him for over $1 million per episode. The deal comes in the wake of Hugh Grant nearly joining the cast, only to pull out at the last minute over concerns about doing 20+ episodes of a TV series every year. No word on how Kutcher will be incorporated into the show, but one source lied that the storyline is “really funny.” I’m just baffled as to how this show is still a thing.

Channing Tatum: '21 Jump Street' Set with Jonah Hill!

Channing Tatum wears a bicycle police uniform while working on his new movie, 21 Jump Street, on Tuesday (May 10) in New Orleans, La.

The 31-year-old actor is starring in the big screen adaptation of the popular 1980’s TV series, opposite Jonah Hill.

Channing and Jonah play two young looking officers who are part of an undercover police unit that infiltrates high schools to control youth crime.

Jonah lost 30 pounds for the role by going on a diet and hiring a nutritionist and trainer!http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/10/channing-tatum-21-jump-street-set-with-jonah-hill/

Ryan Gosling & Carey Mulligan: 'Drive' Stills!

Check out these hot new stills from the upcoming feature film Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks, Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Albert Brooks, and Oscar Isaac.

“I always wanted to make a sort of action movie, but a lot of action movies these days are more on action and a little less character,” Ryan said about joining the movie. “I liked this screenplay because it had a very strong character at the center and there was a very strong love story as well.”

The Nicolas Winding Refn-directed movie premieres later this month at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. The story is about a Hollywood stunt performer (Gosling) who moonlights as a wheelman and discovers that a contract has been put on him after a heist gone wrong.

Steven Soderbergh to Direct Male-Stripper Film MAGIC MIKE Starring and Inspired By Channing Tatum

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 29th, 2011

You may ask yourself, “What would it take to prolong Steven Soderbergh’s retirement from directing?” The answer, apparently, is a movie about male strippers. The Ocean’s Eleven director just committed to helm Magic Mike, starring Channing Tatum. The film is based on Tatum’s experiences as a 19-year-old stripper, and tells “a story of friendship set in the world of male strippers.” Here’s what the director had to say about the project:

“When Channing talked to me about this, I thought it was one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie. I said I wanted in immediately. It’s sexy, funny and shocking. We’re using Saturday Night Fever as our model, so hopefully we’re on the right track.”

Soderbergh has long talked about retiring after filming his Liberace biopic with Michael Douglas, and this doesn’t seem to change things much. Deadline reports that he will squeeze Magic Mike in this fall before he shoots his last two fllms. Hit the jump to see what Tatum has to say about the project, as well as a rundown of Soderbergh’s final films before he heads into retirement.

MEN IN BLACK 3 Set Photos

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 29th, 2011

A couple more set photos have surfaced from the set of Men in Black 3. The film has gone through some very public script issues, but it appears that they sorted everything out. These set photos give another look at Will Smith and Josh Brolin as a young Agent K, following the first batch of set photos from earlier this month. Given the diner setting and the car parked outside, it’s safe to assume this takes place in the 60’s (the film involves Smith’s character traveling back in time to find the young Agent K).
Hit the jump to check out the photos. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, the film also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Rip Torn and Johnny Knoxville.  Men in Black 3 opens in 3D on May 25, 2012.

Sebastian Stan and Socratis Otto Join Amanda Seyfried in GONE

by Adam Chitwood   Posted: April 29th, 2011

Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Socratis Otto (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) have been set to join the cast of Gone. Variety reports that the duo will star alongside Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter), Emily Wickersham (I Am Number Four) and Wes Bently (Jonah Hex) in the thriller. The script by Allison Burnett (Fame) centers on “a kidnap survivor (Seyfried) who attempts to find the same killer whom she believes has abducted her sister.”
Heitor Dhalia (Adrift) is set to direct the film, with Summit Entertainment handling distribution. No word on what roles Stan and Otto will take on, but the film was supposed to start filming sometime this month. Stan will next be seen as Steve Rogers’ sidekick Bucky Barnes in Captain America.

Robert Zemeckis in Talks to Direct Time-Travel Film REPLAY

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 29th, 2011

Could Robert Zemeckis finally be returning to live-action? And with a time-travel film to boot? It appears so, as Vulture reports that the director is in ”serious talks” to helm the adaptation of Ken Grimwood’s novel Replay. The thrilling premise centers on a radio journalist in his forties who dies, but awakes back in 1963 in his 18-year-old body with all of his previous memories intact. The kicker? He always dies in 1988, but returns to 1963 to start the whole 25 years over again with every single memory intact and the ability to make different life choices (spouse, kids, etc.)
This sounds like a fantastic concept, and a return to form for the Back to the Future director. Following the demise of his motion-capture Yellow Submarine remake, Zemeckis has been tooling around with a couple of live-action flicks. Most recently, he entered early negotiations to helm Flight with Denzel Washington. Hit the jump for more on both projects, as well which one Zemeckis might film first, and a synopsis of the novel Replay.

First Images of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in 21 JUMP STREET

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 28th, 2011

With directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) 21 Jump Street now filming in New Orleans, the first images of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in their police uniforms have hit the net.  While the outfits are nothing out of the ordinary, there is one thing worth noting: how much weight Hill has lost!  From the low res pictures, I’d say he’s lost at least forty pounds.  Maybe more.  It’s a considerable change from what he looked like in Get Him to the Greek.

As most of you know, 21 Jump Street tells the story of two young cops (Hill and Tatum) who go undercover to infiltrate a high school. Alongside Hill and Tatum, Ice Cube, Brie Larson, Johnny Simmons and Dave Franco star, with Rob Riggle playing the villain. Also, Johnny Depp will be doing a cameo.  21 Jump Street hits theaters on March 16th 2012.  Hit the jump for the images.

Exclusive Clip from DAYDREAM NATION Starring Kat Dennings and Josh Lucas

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 28th, 2011

We’ve been sent an exclusive clip from the upcoming film Daydream Nation.  The story centers on a young woman (Kat Dennigns) who moves to a small town and strikes up a romance with both her teacher Barry (Josh Lucas) and her troubled classmate (Reece Thompson).  In the clip, Barry, frustrated with the papers his high-school students have turned in, asks them to write a three page essay on the historical or religious figure they most admire.  Because if there’s anyone teenagers admire, it’s historical and religious figures.

Hit the jump to check out the clip.  Daydream Nation opens in select theaters on May 6th.  If you’re not near one of those select theaters, you still won’t have to wait long to see it.  The movie hits DVD and Blu-ray on May 17th.

Ron Howard to Direct Max Landis Pitch AMNESTY

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 28th, 2011

Ron Howard has signed on to direct Amnesty based on a pitch by screenwriter Max Landis (Fear Itself) for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment. Deadline doesn’t have any details on the plot but says that the story “blends Robert Ludlum and JRR Tolkien.”  A spy thriller set in a fantasy world is an intriguing premise.  Unfortunately, Howard isn’t a very interesting director and Landis is still unproven when it comes to feature films, although he handled the script for the upcoming supernatural drama Chronicle.

But if Howard stays attached, don’t expect to see Amnesty anytime soon.  He’s currently prepping to direct the first part of a trilogy based off Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series.  The first film is due out on May 17, 2013.
