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.

Sneak Peek at Josh Holloway Guest Starring on COMMUNITY
by Ethan Anderton Posted: April 28th, 2011
Back in February we found out that Lost star Josh Holloway would have a guest spot in the season finale of Community. Well the first part of that finale airs next week and we now have a quick sneak peek at his appearance on the comedy series. A Fistful of Paintballs is the first part in a two-part season finale for the series that will be somewhat of a sequel to last season’s stellar Modern Warfare paintball episode. Holloway plays a new bad-ass on Greendale’s campus known as Black Rider. Check out this great preview of his appearance after the jump, and be sure to tune in May 5th at 8/7c to check out the full episode.
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.

Trailer for DOLPHIN TALE Starring Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, and Harry Connick Jr.
by Jason Barr Posted: April 7th, 2011
A trailer for director Charles Martin Smith’s Dolphin Tale has landed online. Starring Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Harry Connick Jr., and Kris Kristofferson, the film tells the story of a dolphin, Winter, who loses most of her tail to a crab trap and is aided in her recovery by the combined efforts of a doctor (Freeman) who builds a prosthetic tail and a family (Judd, Connick, etc.) who perhaps wills her to survive. While unremarkable, the trailer does a nice job of painting the film in the inspirational light it is meant to be cast. Of course, the “from the studio and producers of The Blind Side” reminder doesn’t hurt in aiding that end either.
Dolphin Tale hits 3D theaters this fall on September 23rd. Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Also, in case you missed it, you can check out our set visit preview by clicking here.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo to Direct THE CROW
by Jason Barr Posted: April 7th, 2011
28 Weeks Later director/co-writer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has been tapped by Relativity Media to direct a “re-invention” of 1994’s The Crow. Per the release, Fresnadillo is expected to co-write the project’s script with an as-of-yet unnamed scribe. Although casting details announcements are still forthcoming, the release confirms that Fresnadillo’s film will focus on the character Eric Draven and that production is aiming to begin this Fall. In discussing the reboot, producer Edward Pressman says:
“The original Crow was groundbreaking cinema; its gothic visual and musical ideas influenced a generation and cinema itself. With Juan Carlos, we have every confidence that his new Crow will have a similar impact on the contemporary audience.”

by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 7th, 2011
While director Baz Lurhman is busy fine-tuning his adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby for the big screen, it looks like he may have added another star to the cast. Ben Affleck is currently in talks to join Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire in the film. Deadline reports that Affleck is mulling over the role of Tom Buchanan, husband of Daisy who will be played by Mulligan. DiCaprio is set as Gatsby himself and Maguire will take on narrator Nick Carraway.
Affleck isn’t a sure thing, as he’s currently prepping his next directorial outing Argo, about the 1979 hostage crisis in Iran. However, Deadline seems to think that Affleck will find the time in his schedule to fit Gatsby in. The adaptation is set to start shooting in Australia in August. Hit the jump for a recap of what we know about the film so far, as well as my thoughts on Affleck’s casting. ............ http://collider.com/ben-affleck-the-great-gatsby/85006/
Fox Searchlight Launches THE TREE OF LIFE Site with 20 Mini-Clips
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: April 7th, 2011
Fox Searchlight has launched a comprehensive, interactive website for The Tree of Life at the domain twowaysthroughlife. Once you enter, you are greeted by hypnotic music and two options: “the father’s way” or “the mother’s way.” Each path offers ten different clips, none much longer than five seconds and mostly free of dialogue. I still can’t tell you much about the big picture of Terrence Malick’s film, but the site provides more of the ethereal imagery that I’ve been fawning over since the debut of the trailer.
Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain star in this “impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s.” Click here to head down the rabbit hole. Read the official synopsis for The Tree of Life after the break. ........... http://collider.com/the-tree-of-life-movie-site/85016/

**Filming Begins on RENEE Starring Chad Michael Murray, Kat Dennings and Rupert Friend **Check Out a Behind the Scenes Featurette for TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT
Filming Begins on RENEE Starring Chad Michael Murray, Kat Dennings and Rupert Friend
by Adam Chitwood Posted: February 24th, 2011
Filming has quietly begun in Florida on the indie drama Renee. Starring Chad Michael Murray, Kat Dennings, Rupert Friend (Pride and Predjudice) and Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), the film tells the true story of Renne Yohe, whose depression/addiction led to the creation of the charity organization To Write Love on Her Arms. Here’s what to expect from the film, per the press release:The story follows 19-year-old Renee (played by Kat Dennings) who has always loved fairy tales: the idea of a princess, a hero and a happily ever after. But Renee’s life is that of a darker tale: she’s a young woman battling addiction, depression and self-injury. In a creative blend of artistic fantasy balanced with harsh reality, the movie follows Renee on her courageous journey towards recovery.Nathan Frankowski (the Ben Stein “intelligent design” documentary Expelled) directs from a script he co-wrote with Kate King Lynch. The film will be told in juxtaposition between “gritty realities and rich fantasies”, with music appearances by Rachel Yamagata and Travie McCoy (Gym Class Heroes). Hit the jump for the full press release.

Check Out a Behind the Scenes Featurette for TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT
by Jason Barr Posted: February 24th, 2011
A behind the scenes featurette for the upcoming comedy Take Me Home Tonight has landed online. Directed by Michael Dowse, the film stars Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler, Teresa Palmer, and Chris Pratt. The comedy is set in 1988 and features a recent MIT grad (Grace) who makes a move on his high school crush (Palmer), steals a car, and embarks on numerous other misadventures all in the course of one night. While it very well may have a lot more going for it, I plan on catching the film for no other reason than its nostalgia-ridden 80s soundtrack. Here’s to hoping A-ha’s classic “Take on Me” makes an appearance.
Hit the jump to check out the featurette. Take Me Home Tonight hits theaters next week on March 4th. ................
