OMG! Reynolds and Faris to star in TMI
Universal has picked up the comedy script TMI by Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith and Marc Klein and is eyeing Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris for the leads. According to Variety, the film follows the premise that honesty is best, but TMI can lead to comic shenanigans. The film could follow The Green Lantern on Reynolds’ schedule. And don’t worry about Miss Faris. She’ll also be busy, as she’s negotiating to star in the comedy Wedding Banned with Robin...

Read MoreNEW MOON the #1 pre-release title in Fandango history
If you’re wondering how big The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be when it hits theaters this weekend, well, it’s gonna be BIG. Fandango announced that New Moon is now the top-selling pre-release title in the company’s 10-year history. That’s bigger than Star Wars: Episode III. Bigger than the latest Harry Potter. And yes, bigger than The Dark Knight. Heck, even I’m interested in seeing this movie and I HATED the first one. (It may have something to do with Taylor Lautner. Forgive me. I’m weak.) From Fandango: The Top 5 Advance Ticket-Sellers on Fandango (as of November 15, 2009) are now as follows: 1. New Moon (2009) 2. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) 4. The Dark Knight (2008) 5. Twilight (2008) The latest chapter of...
Read MoreHappy Christmas! 2012 dominates global box office.
It’s been unseasonably warm here in Cleveland, Ohio, so it makes sense that a big-budget summer movie released in November crushed the competition at the weekend box office. Roland Emmerich’s disaster epic 2012 took in $65 million domestically, beating the two-week gross of holiday release Disney’s A Christmas Carol in one weekened. But 2012‘s story doesn’t end there. The picture had huge international numbers, bringing in $160 million overseas for a worldwide opening of $225 million dollars. Eat that Scrooge. More at...
Read MoreJohnny Depp joins THE TOURIST
Looks like The Tourist is a great place to visit, but no one wants to stay there. THR says that Johnny Depp will star opposite Angelina Jolie, replacing Sam Worthington. Worthington, of course, took over the male lead after Tom Cruise dropped out. And Jolie filled in for Charlize Theron after Theron’s involvement in the picture came to an end. The Tourist is a remake of the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer and follows a female Interpol agent who pulls an American traveler into her scheme to save her criminal lover. Jolie will play the Interpol agent and Depp will take on the role of the American–for...
Read MoreThe Day After 2012
Usually Roland Emmerich’s disaster porn leaves me wanting to know how the characters survive in the post-apocalyptic world left after the events in the film. With 2012, it looks like we’ll actually get to find out. EW reports that 2012 executive producer Mark Gordon, who’s worked as an exec on Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, will develop a TV series based in whatever is left of the world after the Mayan calendar ends. Here’s what Emmerich told EW: The plan is that it is 2013 and it’s about what happens after the disaster… The movie talks about the varied reactions people have in the face of disaster and who should survive and how we carry on and what parts of our culture do we save. The TV show could carry on all that. The show looks to be setting...
