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.
Hit the jump for more details on the film and why I don’t think we’re getting anything close to the level of quality seen in The Iron Giant. http://collider.com/vin-diesel-the-machine/91773/

Fright Night Official Synopsis

Craig Gillespie's remake of the seminal 1985 vampire classic Fright Night is set to hit theaters next summer, arriving on August 19th of 2011. DreamWorks has unveiled the official plot synopsis for this completely fresh take on a very familiar situation involving cool kids, dorks, and the sexy vampire-next-door.

Here is the official plot description:

Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he's running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right-but everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

Fright Night comes to theaters August 19th, 2011 and stars Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, David Tennant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Sandra Vergara. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie.

Vin Diesel to Play a Terminator?
Apr 19, 2011 by Brian Gallagher
Director Justin Lin is currently promoting his high-octane sequel Fast Five, due in theaters April 29, and there is talk about his potential involvement in The Terminator franchise.
Back in February, a report surfaced that indicated Universal Pictures wants to pair up Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan for a new Terminator movie, and it seems the director has discusses the prospect with Fast Five star Vin Diesel. Here's what the director had to say below.

"Vin's been a really great partner on this franchise. We've talked about the mythology [of the Terminator series]...[pause] he's a great guy and a great actor. I really like working with him so anything I do I usually talk to him about. Sometimes we even talk about going back and doing a little indie movie."

 

The director stopped short of confirming Vin Diesel's involvement in a new Terminator adventure, though.

"You never know."

It isn't clear if Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan have in fact signed deals to direct and write a Terminator movie yet. Universal is among several studios vying for distribution rights to the franchise, which was purchased by Pacificor last year. There was also talk that Arnold Schwarzenegger may return to the franchise, although that has not been confirmed yet either.

Check Out The Two New High-Res Scream 4 Stills And A Brand New TV Spot

published: 2011-03-18 14:44:05 Author: Eric Eisenberg
It was only on Wednesday that we received a whole batch of new images from Wes Craven's upcoming horror sequel, Scream 4, but apparently Dimension Films is really excited to promote it. Today not only do we get high res versions of the Wednesday stills, but two new ones and a television spot.


The first new image shows off everyone's favorite Woodsboro police officer, Dewey (David Arquette), holding a gun, but the real attraction here is the bloodspattered, knife-wielding Ghostface. If these past few days have proven anything, it's that Scream 4 won't be lacking in blood.


Check out the TV spot and the full gallery below. For more info on Scream 4, be sure to check out our Blend Film Database.

 Billy Bob Thornton in Talks to Return for BAD SANTA 2
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 18th, 2011
Back in November, Billy Bob Thornton told Steve that people always want to talk to him about how much they love Bad Santa and that there’s been talk of a sequel. Of course, sequel talk is cheap, but then in December we reported that The Weinstein Company was actively developing sequels on Miramax hits Shakespeare in Love, Rounders, and yes, Bad Santa.


Today, Thornton was on a panel at SXSW for his Willie Nelson documentary The King of Luck and said he was in negotiations to reprise his foul-mouthed, safe-cracking department store Santa in Bad Santa 2. The Wrap has now confirmed with the Weinstein Company that Thornton is in talks to star. A spokesman for TWC tells The Wrap, “”We feel that it’s a Christmas perennial for the R-rated crowd. Everyone loves the character and Billy Bob’s excited to be in talks with us.” It’s currently unknown who will write and direct the sequel to the 2003 sleeper hit, but getting Thornton back on board is a great first step.

Tom Arnold Says He and Arnold Schwarzenegger Have Read Script for TRUE LIES 2, Hope to Make Film Soon
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 18th, 2011
Ever since Arnold Schwarzenegger let it be known that he was ready to jump back into acting, everyone has been waiting to see what the actor will choose for his first film following his tenure as Governor of California. Well, one of the possible projects includes the ever-elusive sequel to James Cameron’s 1994 action-comedy True Lies. Now co-star Tom Arnold says a new script exists for the sequel and he sounds very optimistic:


I have read a great True Lies 2 script, and I hope we are able to do it. Knock on wood. Arnold Schwarzenegger is excited. I am excited….We have both read the script. There is a script that James Cameron and a guy named Jeff Eastin, who created the TV show White Collar, wrote. It is really great. Jim can’t direct it. But he can produce it. We hope it gets done. We have a few fun things we want to do. I am supposed to remain cool about this. For me, it would be a lot of fun to work with the guys again.


Now, this could very well be wishful thinking on Arnold’s part, given that Schwarzenegger has been offered roles in reboots/sequels/remakes of seemingly every film he’s ever made. But I, for one, would love to see the two team-up again. Hit the jump for more.

Jose Padilha Says He’s Closed His Deal to Direct ROBOCOP Remake
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 18th, 2011
Earlier this month, it was reported that director Jose Padilha (Elite Squad) was in talks to helm MGM’s Robocop remake. Well, now it looks everything came through as Padilha told G1, “It’s closed,” regarding his deal to direct. Last week, Josh Zetumer came aboard to pen the script for the film. While Zetumer currently has no produced screenplays in the can, his spy-thriller script Infiltrator ended up on the “Black List” and is now in development at Warner Bros. with Leonardo DiCaprio tapped to star. In addition, the scribe penned a draft of the ever-changing fourth installment of The Bourne Identity franchise.


The Robocop remake has a bit of a troubled past, as Darren Aronofsky came on board to direct in 2008, but then MGM fell into bankruptcy and Aronofsky left the project. With Zetumer recently being drafted to pen the script, production on this flick is still probably a ways off.

Rumors abound when it comes to any news surrounding Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. Though we don’t yet know what role he will be playing, we can at long last confirm that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be joining the cast of the final act of Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Gordon-Levitt will reunite with Nolan and Tom Hardy, both of whom he worked with in Inception. It’s also rumored that Inception cast member Marion Cotillard may complete the reunion.


An additional casting mention involves a supporting role for indie upstart, Juno Temple (Cracks). The character description is listed only as “a street-smart Gotham girl.” Hit the jump for a recap on who Gordon-Levitt might be playing and other The Dark Knight Rises coverage.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Officially Joins "The Dark Knight Rises"
Posted: March 19th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


After weeks of negotiations, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has officially signed on for "The Dark Knight Rises," re-teaming with "Inception" director Christopher Nolan.


While his role is being kept a secret, there have been rumors that he may play Robin or Deadshot, who is a member of the villainous League of Shadows. Meanwhile, Juno Temple (Year One) is in talks to also join the cast and is being eyed for a supporting role as a street-smart Gotham girl.


Nolan is planning to get the cameras rolling in May in order to have the film ready for a July 20th, 2012 release. The rest of the cast includes Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway.

One bit of The Dark Knight Rises news you were expecting, and another bit you weren't. Variety is reporting that not only has Joseph Gordon-Levitt closed a deal to take a role in the third Batman film, reuniting him with Inception director Christopher Nolan, but that Juno Temple is being considered for a supporting role as a "street-smart Gotham girl," though no deal has yet been closed.

Gordon-Levitt has been rumored for a role in the film for months now, with the latest speculation that he'd play a member of the League Shadows. Variety floats the likelihood of that role as well, though they also seem to have no idea who he'll actually play. As for Temple, her part is likely not one featured in the comics, though given how crowded the film already is with female villains-- Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotillard are both on board-- there's probably not room for another one anyway. Temple is far less well-known, particularly to Nolan fans, than Gordon-Levitt, though you've probably caught her in supporting roles in Atonement, Year One, Greenberg or Gregg Araki's Kaboom.

We'll be anxiously awaiting official confirmation from Nolan's people, since that might also come with details on who Gordon-Levitt will play. In the meantime share your own speculation in the comments.

 Vin Diesel May Star in "The Last Witch Hunter"
Posted: March 19th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


LA Times has learned that "The Crazies" director Breck Eisner is in talks with Summit Entertainment to helm "The Last Witch Hunter," which the studio is hoping to turn into a franchise after "Twilight" ends.


The script, written by Cory Goodman (Apollo 18, Priest), landed on the 2010 edition of the Black List, which is a list of the best unproduced scripts. The story centers on covens of witches who have joined forces, leaving the lead character to fight a force much larger than him to ensure the safety of mankind.


Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) was initially planning to direct the film, but may end up just producing. Meanwhile, Vin Diesel has expressed interest in starring.

Twohy, Diesel Talk Riddick Sequel

Source: Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel updated his Facebook followers with a new video that reveals little, but ensures that progress on Riddick, the chapter to follow Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, continues.

Writer-director David Twohy makes an appearance and states Riddick will be similar to Pitch Black in relation to the size of the budget (that, in turn will help maintain an R rating).

"We're gonna be lean and we're going to go quick and it's going to be a cool movie, I can tell you that," Twohy adds.

Here's a synopsis for Riddick we received a few months back:

"Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick (Diesel) fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction."
