Mark Waters (Ghosts of Girlfriends Past) directs from a script by Jared Stern (The Princess and the Frog) and screenwriting team Sean Anders and John Morris (Hot Tub Time Machine), based on the 1938 children’s novel.


Mr. Popper’s Penguins opens June 17. Watch the trailer after the break.

Alec Baldwin Joins Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, and Maybe Jeremy Renner in Football Comedy THREE MISSISSIPPI; Adam McKay Provides Synopsis
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 19th, 2011 at 9:12 pm


It was reported earlier this week that The Other Guys co-stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg will reunite for Turkey Bowl, a comedy about that revolves around the annual Thanksgiving neighborhood football game. Somehow left out of that report was Alec Baldwin, the man who co-inspired the project. Producer Adam McKay explains:


“The idea was originally conceived for Mark Wahlberg and Alec Baldwin. Owen Burke, who’s a producer at Gary Sanchez, and I were talking about how crazily funny Wahlberg and Baldwin were in The Departed — how, even though it’s not a comedy, we could just watch them all day long. Burke dropped this idea, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s a movie!’ Then Will heard it and he wanted in.”




McKay revealed more about the project, including a more detailed plot synopsis, why they have to rename the movie (the tentative title is Three Mississippi), and how Jeremy Renner might be involved. Read what he had to say after the jump.

Holly Hunter Joins STILL I RISE; In Talks for ROMEO AND JULIET
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 19th, 2011 at 7:18 pm


Holly Hunter has signed a deal to star in Still I Rise, a look at the public education crisis in America. Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis star as “two frustrated mothers who team up to transform an inner-city public school.” Isaac recently joined the cast as a “sexy, ukulele-playing teacher” who romances and inspires Gyllenhaal’s character. Hunter will play the head of the teacher’s union. Director Daniel Barnz (Beastly) is now polishing a rewrite of the original Brin Hill screenplay. Production on the Walden Media/Fox collaboration begins next week in Pittsburgh.


Likewise, Hunter is likewise in negotiations to join the cast of a new Romeo and Juliet movie. True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld is attached to play Juliet — at 14 years of age, Steinfeld hews closer to the 13-year-old girl Shakespeare described. Italian director Carlo Carlie (Flight of the Innocent) will direct from a screenplay by Julian Fellowes (The Tourist). The $15 million production is expected to begin filming soon in Italy. Deadline doesn’t specify, but my guess is Hunter is in talks to play either Lady Capulet (Juliet’s mother) or Lady Montague (Romeo’s mother).


Still I Rise will be Hunter’s first feature film since 2005, following a brief detour in to television with Saving Grace.

Apr 17, 2011 by B. Alan Orange
Joseph Gordon-Levitt calls Looper most important film of his careerLooper is a sci-fi time travel thriller that finds a group of hit men traveling into the past to kill their victims before they can commit their crimes. We haven't heard much about the movie at this point. Now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, while promoting Inception in Shanghai, has called Looper, perhaps, the most important film of his career.


Here is what Joseph Gordon-Levitt had to say about Looper.




"I feel now, doing 'Looper,' is the result of what happened with 'Inception.' It is something I have been working for my whole life. It is like nothing I have seen before. It has action. It has romance. It also deals with philosophy. I really like it."




Looper comes to theaters in 2011 and stars Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paul Dano, Noah Segan, Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo. The film is directed by Rian Johnson.

Photos of Christian Bale on the Set of Zhang Yimou’s 13 FLOWERS OF NANJING

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 18th, 2011

Principal photography on Zhang Yimou’s first multi-lingual film, 13 Flowers of Nanjing, began in January — tonight we have our first look at star Christian Bale in costume as “John.”  (Evocative, no?)  The film, based on the Yan Geling novel The 13 Women of Nanjing, centers on a group of refugees who find sanctuary in a church compound during the Sino-Japanese War: “The group, thrown together by the terrible chaos of war, risks their lives for the Church’s school children as they struggle to survive the violence and persecution brought on by the violent invasion of the city.”

Hit the jump to see the images and read more about 13 Flowers.

First, the official synopsis and production details:

13 Flowers of Nanjing is set in 1937 in Nanjing, China during Sino-Japanese War, where a few brave refugees find sanctuary in a Church compound.  The group, thrown together by the terrible chaos of war, risks their lives for the Church’s school children as they struggle to survive the violence and persecution brought on by the violent invasion of the city.  Through tremendous adversity, heroism presents itself among the least likely individuals as they bravely navigate their treacherous surroundings to try and save themselves and each other.  13 Flowers of Nanjing is a story of heroism and love: for those around you, for one’s family, and the love between an unlikely couple which fate brings together.  Christian Bale will play John, an American, trapped thousands of miles from home and seemingly, with nowhere to turn.

Produced by Zhang Weiping and Bill Kong, the film will incorporate both Chinese and English dialog into its narrative.  Zhang Yimou will be reuniting with Beijing New Pictures and Edko Films Limited for the project.  David Linde will executive produce. The team has also tapped Xiaoding Zhao as director of photography (House of Flying Daggers, Curse of the Golden Flower); renown special effects supervisor Joss Williams (Aliens, The Bourne Ultimatum, Munich); production designer Yohei Taneda (Kill Bill Vol. 1); composer Qigang Chen (Under The Hawthorn Tree); production and costume designer William Chang (In The Mood of Love, 2047) ; and costume designer Graciela Mazon (The Legend of Zorro, From Dusk Till Dawn).

Sylvester Stallone Says He Will NOT Direct "The Expendables 2"

Posted: April 18th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




Back in March, LA Times learned that Sylvester Stallone may not return to direct "The Expendables" sequel, despite making plans to reprise his role in the film. Then earlier this month, Lionsgate denied the report and confirmed that Stallone will be back behind the camera.

And now, Deadline has heard directly from Stallone that he will NOT be directing the sequel. Instead, he is heavily involved in putting together a list of directors to helm the second installment.

At this point, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Terry Crews are all set to return, but don't have deals in place. Stallone, meanwhile, is in talks with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis to expand their roles.

Jason Statham to Star in "Parker" Thriller

Posted: April 18th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




Jason Statham is in negotiations to star in "Parker" thriller, to be directed by Taylor Hackford (Ray, The Devil's Advocate) from a script by John McLaughlin (Black Swan).

The film is based on the book series by Donald Westlake and revolves around a thief who, though at times is forced to be a killer, still lives by a code of honor that includes never stealing money from people who need it. His word is his bond, and if he is crossed he will strike back relentlessly.

"I don't want to get stuck in a genre," said Hackford about why he took the project. "What I like the most about this piece of material is that you can take a genre piece like this and turn it into a great movie."

"Parker" will be shopped at the Cannes Film Festival next month.

Thomas Jane in Sylvester Stallone's "Headshot"

Posted: April 18th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




It was recently reported that Sylvester Stallone has brought on director Walter Hill (48 Hrs, The Warriors) to direct his upcoming "Headshot" movie.

In it, Stallone's character teams with a young NYPD detective in a high-stakes investigation that leads from the back alleys of New Orleans all the way to Washington, DC. The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.

AITH has now learned that Thomas Jane (The Mist, Punisher) has signed to play the NYPD detective. "He's a hitman, I'm a cop, and we're just opposite in every f*cking way, and we need each other to get this job done," said the actor. "And of course I'm like, 'As soon as this job's over, I'm going to take you to jail, you know, you're a killer.'"

Filming is set to begin next month in Louisiana and New York.

Jim Carrey's New "Mr. Popper's Penguins" Trailer

Posted: April 18th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




Today we have an international trailer for Jim Carrey's upcoming "Mr Popper's Penguins" comedy, which is directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls) and is set to hit theaters on June 17th. Check out the trailer below.

Plot: Tom Popper (Carrey) is a New York real estate developer who tears down beloved landmarks and erects skyscrapers in their place. His one-track mind leaves him estranged from his family, including his wife (Carla Gugino), who has divorced him and moved on to a new relationship.

And for years Popper has been out of contact with his "kooky" father, who leaves him with an unusual inheritance: a penguin. The bewildered Popper registers a complaint which is met with the arrival of another five birds.

The penguins manage to crack Mr. Popper's cold exterior, and soon he's cranking up the air conditioning in his stylish apartment, rolling up the rugs and piling on extra layers of clothes to make his new guests more comfortable.

"Cloverfield" Helmer to Direct "The Passage" Vampire Film

Posted: April 18th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




We recently reported that Matt Reeves (Let Me In, Cloverfield) had signed on to direct a remake of John Carpenter's "They Live," based on Ray Nelson's short story "8 O'Clock in the Morning."

And now comes word that he will also direct "The Passage," based on the best-selling Justin Cronin novel and about an experiment that goes awry and creates a swarm of bloodthirsty vampires that brings the world to the brink of extinction.

In "The Passage," a group of terminally ill cancer patients get healthy after being subjected to the bites of bats in South America. Naturally, the government see this as a cure for the disease and starts experimenting. They end up with a legion of nearly indestructible, telepathic vampire masters that begin infecting the populace.

The tone is similar to "28 Days Later" and is very different from "Let Me In," Reeves' last film which was also about vampires.

Is James Franco's "The Stare" the Next "Black Swan"?

Posted: April 18th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




James Franco and Winona Ryder have signed on for "The Stare," a drama to be directed by Jay Anania that sounds very similar to Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan," which Ryder also starred in. The film will begin shooting on May 6th in New York.

"The Stare" revolves around a playwright (Ryder) who finds her mind beginning to warp as she struggles to launch her next production. She's plagued by dreams and visions of being watched, but can't decide if she's at the center of a manipulative plot or simply losing her grip on reality. Franco plays one of the performers in the playwright's production.

Franco has previously worked with Anania last year in "Shadows and Lies," which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Trailer for Will Ferrell’s Spanish-Language Comedy CASA DE MI PADRE

by Jason Barr    Posted: April 14th, 2011

The trailer for Will Ferrell’s Spanish-language comedy Casa de mi Padre (translated House of My Father) has quietly surfaced online. Starring Ferrell, Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna, Efren Ramirez, and Genesis Rodriguez, the film is directed by Matt Piedmont from a script by Andrew Steele. We let you know back in January that Casa de mi Padre tells the story of Armando (Ferrell) and the misadventures he undergoes while simultaneously attempting to save his father’s farm/fend off feared Mexican drug lord Onza (Bernal). The English-subtitled trailer delivers hints of that premise while also promising plenty of “slaps!” and “special effects!”

Lionsgate to Distribute Barry Levinson’s THE BAY; Relativity Purchases HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET Starring Jennifer Lawrence

by Jason Barr   Posted: April 14th, 2011

We have a few acquisition bits to bring you today. First up, Lionsgate has picked up the U.S. distribution rights to Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson’s (Rain Man) found-footage “eco-horror” film, The Bay. Produced by Paranormal Activity alums Oren Peli, Steven Schneider, and Jason Blum, The Bay stars Andy Stahl and Kether Donohue and focuses on “an unprecedented biological disaster unleashed from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay – an isopod parasite, carrying a horrific untreatable disease, that jumps from fish to human hosts.” On its own, the disease sounds pretty rough. When you throw in the “untreatable,” it gets upgraded to “horrific.” The film is shaping up for a release later this year.

Next up, Relativity Media has acquired domestic distribution rights to the thriller House at the End of the Street. Starring former Oscar-nominees Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) and Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas) as well as Max Theriot (My Soul to Take), the film revolves around a mother and daughter (Shue and Lawrence) who move into a new neighborhood only to find that the house next door is the home of a psychotic young girl who murdered her parents. Mark Tonderai directs a script by David Loucka. Also without an official release date, moviegoers may be waiting until 2012 to check out House at the End of the Street.

For more on the projects, hit the jump to check out the official press releases for both acquisitions.

Mark Wahlberg to Produce and Possibly Star in WHEN CORRUPTION WAS KING and BILLY JACK

by Adam Chitwood   Posted: April 14th, 2011

Adding to the long list of projects that Mark Walhberg is currently attached to, the Fighter star is set to produce and possibly star in two more films. Variety reports that the actor and his producing partner, Stephen Levinson, have come aboard the adaptation of Robert Cooley’s When Corruption Was King as producers with the possibility that Wahlberg might star in the flick as well. Frank Baldwin is writing the script, with no director attached at the moment. Cooley’s memoir tells the story of how he, as a mob attorney, played a major role in bringing down Chicago’s mob organization during Operation Gambat.

Additionally, The Tracking Board (via /Film) reports that Wahlberg is also set to produce and possibly star in a remake of the 1971 action film Billy Jack. Starring Tom Laughlin, Billy Jack centers on a gunslinger who defends a hippie-themed school from townspeople opposed to the counterculture students. Presumably, this plot would be updated. Though I personally think a shoot-em-up action flick with a gun-slinging Mark Wahlberg protecting liberal arts students from angry townsfolk would make for a fantastic moviegoing experience. Hit the jump for a rundown of the other projects that Walhberg is connected to at the moment, as well as a synopsis of When Corruption Was King. ............ http://collider.com/mark-wahlberg-when-corruption-was-king-billy-jack/86088/

First Poster for MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS

by Adam Chitwood   Posted: April 14th, 2011

The first poster for Mr. Popper’s Penguins has been released. Based on the children’s book of the same name, the film centers on a New York real estate developer who inherits some penguins, naturally. Jim Carrey stars in the film which was directed by Mark Waters. I quite enjoyed Waters’ Mean Girls, and thought the premise had some potential with Carrey attached, but the first trailer didn’t really impress anything upon me other than “look how kooky it is to have penguins in a high-rise apartment!” Though I did find it cool that the film used actual penguins most of the time rather than relying on CGI.

Hit the jump to check out the poster. Carrey stars alongside Carla Gugino, Angela Lansbury, and Madeline Carroll. Mr. Popper’s Penguins hits theaters June 17^th.

Josh Radnor to Direct and Star in LIBERAL ARTS With Elizabeth Olsen
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 23rd, 2011
Fresh off his directorial debut HappyThankYouMorePlease, which premiered at Sundance to highly positive reviews, How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor is planning on stepping behind the camera once more for the indie film Liberal Arts. Radnor also wrote the flick and THR reports that he will star alongside Sundance darling Elizabeth Olsen. The younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth broke out in a big way at this year’s Sundance Film Festival with her performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene.


Liberal Arts tells the story of a 35-year-old whose yearning for his glory days of college is intensified when he strikes up a romance with a 19-year-old college student over a shared love of music and literature. The man is busy coming to terms with his age and responsibilities, while the young girl’s immaturity puts a strain on their relationship. The whole thing kind of reminds me of 2006’s underrated The Last Kiss starring Zach Braff. Radnor will shoot the film this spring during his hiatus from How I Met Your Mother. Olsen is currently filming Red Lights with Robert De Niro, Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan to Star in Horror-Thriller DIBBUK BOX

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 13th, 2011

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is set to star in the horror-thriller Dibbuk Box for Lionsgate and Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures.  Lionsgate has already set the film’s release for October 28th, a Halloween weekend now absent their Saw franchise.  Danish director Ole Bornedal (The Substitute) will direct a script by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White based on true events.  According to Variety,

“Morgan will star as a recently divorced father whose youngest daughter becomes strangely connected to an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. As his daughter’s behavior becomes more erratic, the father senses a dark presence building until he discovers that the box was built to contain a dibbuk — a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.”

While many folks probably don’t know what a Dibbuk is (unless they saw A Serious Man), I suppose Dibbuk Box is a better title than Yard Sale Ghost.

***Trailer and Poster for LIMITLESS Starring Bradley Cooper ***Set Photos of Jim Carrey in MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS

Trailer and Poster for LIMITLESS Starring Bradley Cooper

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 16th, 2010

Relativity Media has released the trailer and poster for Limitless (previously titled “The Dark Fields“).  The film centers on a struggling writer (Bradley Cooper) who takes a special drug that allows him to utilize his entire mental capacity.  Setting aside the fact that your brain doesn’t work on capacity but instead handles various functions, the film looks like it could be an interesting thriller…or a complete garbage.  While I liked Cooper back when he was on Alias, I don’t know if he can carry film.  Also, I’m not crazy about rooting for a protagonist whose “perfect” life is simply being disgustingly rich.  Hopefully director Neil Burger (The Illusionist) can pull it all together, although this is his first feature where he didn’t also write the screenplay. The script was penned by Leslie Dixon (Pay It Forward) based on the book by Alan Glynn.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster.  Limitless also stars Abbie Cornish, Anna Friel, and Robert De Niro.  It opens March 18, 2011.  Click here to check out the viral promo ad for the film.

Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro star in Limitless, a paranoia-fueled action thriller about an unpublished writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret smart drug that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life in this darkly comic and provocative film.

Production on the long-in-development Mr. Popper’s Penguins is finally underway, and the first photos of star Jim Carrey on set have hit the web. The film, based on the popular children’s book by Richard and Florence Atwater, tells the story of a high-powered New York businessman who inherits six penguins.

The film was originally set to be directed by Noah Baumbach, with Ben Stiller starring, but the two left the project back in April.

Directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), the comedy is set to hit theaters on August 12, 2011. Hit the jump to check out the images.
