New Images and Cringe-Worthy Clip from THIS MUST BE THE PLACE Starring Sean Penn

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 20th, 2011 at 9:23 am

Watching the first clip from the upcoming drama This Must Be the Place, I can’t help but think that star Sean Penn was re-watching I Am Sam and though to himself, “Yeah, I can top that.”  So instead of going full-retard, Penn is going full old-rock-star parody.  We’ve already seen his Robert Smith-inspired attire, but wait until you hear how Penn decides to deliver dialogue.  It sounds like a cross between a nerdy teenager and present-day Ozzy Osbourne.  It’s awful and I can’t tell if co-star Frances McDormand is embarrassed or just trying really hard not to laugh.

Oh, for those that don’t know about the plot, it’s about an aged rock star who decides to follow in his late father’s footsteps and become a Nazi hunter.  I’m not making that up.  Hit the jump to check out new images from the film along with the glorious clip.  This Must Be the Place also stars newcomer Eve Newsome as a gothic-punk music fan who is close friends with Penn’s character, Cheyenne.

First Image of Tom Hardy as Bane in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES; Viral Campaign Launches

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 20th, 2011 at 8:30 am

On the heels of yesterday’s announcement that filming had commenced on The Dark Knight Rises, we now have learned that the film’s viral campaign has begun.  You may recall that the alternate-reality game (ARG) for The Dark Knight was fairly epic and resulted in fun treasure hunts, deciphering, and ultimately tickets to see the film early.  TDKR is over a year away, but viral marketing waits for no one!  Today, the official website (thedarkknightrises.com) launched and had two interesting aspects.  First up, the audio on the website is some weird chanting (The League of Shadows? A poor recording of the 1994 album “Chant”?).  Secondly, every time someone tweets the hashtag #thefirerises, a new image appears on this site. The tiny image is your Twitter profile pic, but they’re being arranged and contrasted in such a way as to show a larger image.  Some smart folks went digging through the source code and uncovered the image being built was the first image of Tom Hardy as Bane.  I suppose a more appropriate hashtag is now “#viralthwarted”.

Hit the jump to check out the image. The Dark Knight Rises also stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, and Michael Caine.  It opens July 20, 2012. [We have now updated the image with a high-resolution version]

First Look: Tom Hardy as Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises"

Posted: May 20th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Warner Bros has launched the official viral marketing campaign for "The Dark Knight Rises." By going to the site (TheDarkKnightRises.com), you'll see a blank page with audio of people chanting something.

Using an audio program, a person figured out that the chanting spells out "#TheFireRises," which is obviously a Twitter account. Going to the Twitter page (Twitter.com/#TheFireRises) contains a link to a page on the original site ....

After digging through the code, a hi-res image of Tom Hardy as Bane is revealed. Check out the photo below.

Stephen King Talks About "Carrie" Remake

Posted: May 20th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


It was just reported that "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has been hired to write the script for the "Carrie" remake, based on a Stephen King novel.

Entertainment Weekly now caught up with King to get his thoughts on the new film. "I've heard rumblings about a 'Carrie' remake, as I have about 'The Stand' and 'It.' Who knows if it will happen," said the author. "The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, not 'Casablanca,' or anything, but a really good horror/suspense film, much better than the book. Piper Laurie really got her teeth into the bad-mom thing. Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White... hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast. I guess I could get behind it if they turned the project over to one of the Davids: Lynch or Cronenberg."

King feels that the movie was better than the book. That's not good since Aguirre-Scasa is planning to make the remake more faithful to the book.

Forest Whitaker Working on "Waiting to Exhale" Sequel

Posted: May 20th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Back in 1995, Forest Whitaker directed "Waiting to Exhale," based on a novel by Terry McMillan. The film went on to gross $81 million. And now comes word that a sequel is in the works.

"It's preliminary, but it's gonna happen," Angela Bassett confirmed on CBS show "The Talk." "[McMillan] wrote 'Getting to Happy' and she has written the screenplay. Loretta [Devine], Lela [Rochon], Whitney [Houston], Forest [will be back]. Forest is working on the script now."

While most of the actors are available to reprise their roles, Whitney Houston just entered rehab for drug and alcohol treatment. And Gregory Hines passed away back in 2003.

**Armie Hammer Cast in THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE; Saoirse Ronan in Talks to Play Snow White **Robert De Niro Joins 50 Cent in FREELANCERS; Forest Whitaker in Talks **Will Sasso Is Curly in THE THREE STOOGES; Hank Azaria and James Marsden the Frontrunners to Play Moe and Larry

Armie Hammer Cast in THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE; Saoirse Ronan in Talks to Play Snow White
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 26th, 2011
Universal took the early lead in casting their Snow White adaptation with dibs on Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart, and Viggo Mortensen for the lead roles. But talks with Mortensen have since entered a rough patch, and Relativity has seized the opportunity to push their own Snow White movie to the forefront. Armie Hammer (The Social Network) has closed a deal to play Prince Andrew Alcott in The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. Hammer is the second official cast member, joining Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen. Of course, that leaves the title role: Saoirse Ronan is in talks to play Snow White for director Tarsem Singh (The Fall). In the script by Melissa Wallack and Jason Keller, “Snow White bands together with seven dwarfs to reclaim her kingdom.” More after the jump:

Robert De Niro Joins 50 Cent in FREELANCERS; Forest Whitaker in Talks
by Max Lichtig Posted: March 26th, 2011
If you thought 50 Cent couldn’t scoop up any more great actors in his cinematic wave of destruction, you were dead, dead wrong. We’ve seen the comical trailer for the trying-too-hard drama Things Fall Apart; the trailer for Setup showed the likes of Bruce Willis and Ryan Phillippe somehow drawn into its cast. NOLA reports that Curtis Jackson’s next movie, Freelancers, locked in Robert De Niro; Deadline adds that Forest Whitaker is in negotiations to join the cast. Jessy Terrero (who brought us the forgettable Soul Plane) will helm Freelancers, the story of the son of a murdered NYPD cop who joins the police academy, graduates, and gets recruited by a group of rogue cops led by his father’s old partner (De Niro). Freelancers is scheduled to shoot four weeks in New Orleans starting in April.


Sounds interesting? Well, let’s not count our chickens before the trailer hatches.

Will Sasso Is Curly in THE THREE STOOGES; Hank Azaria and James Marsden the Frontrunners to Play Moe and Larry
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 26th, 2011
Will Sasso ($h*! My Dad Says) joined the endless casting discussion surrounding The Three Stooges earlier this week. Yet unlike other Stooges reports, it actually led to something substantial. THR reports that Sasso is the first official Stooge — the bald, rotund actor will obviously play Curly for the directing Farrelly Brothers.


Filming was once scheduled to begin in March, so at some point 20th Century Fox needs to stop the revolving door and hire a Moe and a Larry. Hank Azaria (Love and Other Drugs) and James Marsden (Death at a Funeral) are the latest actors to be linked to the role, but I don’t recommend you let that register until a more official report. More about the project after the break.

Dakota Fanning to Star in MISSISSIPPI WILD; Robert Duvall, Mickey Rourke, and Forest Whitaker in Talks to Co-Star

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 16th, 2011

Dakota Fanning and Ryan Donowho (Bandslam) have signed on to lead the indie thriller Mississippi Wild.  Variety reports that Robert Duvall, Mickey Rourke, and Forest Whitaker are in negotiations to co-star.  The plot follows a teen (Donowho) “who has to go on the run with his girlfriend (Fanning) after stealing diamonds that belong to a local gangster.”  Rourke is being courted for the role of the gangster while Whitaker is in talks to play a gangster who’s after Rourke’s character.  There’s no word yet on who Duvall would play.  Production is scheduled to begin on March 21st in Atlanta.

Fanning recently signed on to star in Girls Night Out, but Variety says she’ll first be starring alongside Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff in The Motel Life.  Filming on Life is expected to begin this month.

Taylor Lautner and Michael Bay Team-Up to Auction Script Described as “MR. & MRS. SMITH Meets WANTED”

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 16th, 2011

Taylor Lautner and director Michael Bay have sent out an untitled script to the major studios.  The Twilight actor and Transformers director won’t discuss the story but insiders tell Deadline that “it’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets Wanted.“  I’m interpreting this to mean that the movie is about a nihilistic couple who take their orders from a magic quilt, and that the story abruptly ends.”  Or, as is more likely, the movie involves elite assassins.  Huzzah.

Hit the jump for where Mr. & Mrs. Wanted might fit into Lautner’s busy schedule.

Cher to Play Mother Superior in THE THREE STOOGES?

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 16th, 2011

Last December, we reported that Richard Jenkins was the first cast member on board the Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges.  Jenkins was set to play an abusive nun who torments Larry, Moe, and Curly at the orphanage where they grow up.  As a huge Jenkins fans, I thought that was great news.  Now 24 Frames is coming along to slap my enthusiasm in the face by saying that the Farrellys want to cast Cher as Mother Superior, the nun whom the Stooges terrorize.  Now it’s possible that Jenkins’ nun would still be in the movie, but 24 Frames makes no mention of him.  Cher had a cameo in the Farrellys’ 2003 film, Stuck on You.  As someone who has never enjoyed anything I’ve seen Cher do (and that includes Moonstruck), I’m indifferent-at-best about this news.

Hit the jump for more on the project and other potential casting.
