If there is one movie set to be released in 2010 that is causing a lot of buzz already, it is definitely Disney’s new Alice in Wonderland remake. The movie is set for a release date in March, and there is already a lot being said about it. Something tells me this is just the beginning. Johnny Depp stars in this one, and just earlier this week he was at a tribute for Tim Burton, who is also behind this new fantastic look at a storybook classic. Three new posters were released just this week, and the excitement is only building. Check those out below.
As for Rachel McAdams, those Spiderman 4 rumors were just that. The actress isn’t set to pick up the role of Black Cat in the new film. That one is set for release in 2011, so we have time before filming even starts.
Some sexy new videos have hit the net over the last couple of days, and there is no way I could not stop from showing you them.
The first video is of Scarlett Johansson and her sexy new ad for Dolce & Gabbana. The ad shows her in all her blonde glory looking sexy just sitting at the kitchen table and peeling an orange. Who knew something so simple could look so good? Scarlett looks amazing with her blonde looks. Not that I didn’t like her as a redhead either, but the blonde wins me out every time.
The other new video is yet another music video release from Rihanna. She has been just about everywhere lately with her interviews about the incident earlier this year with Chris Brown. Here is her sexy new video for Russian Roulette below.
As far as superheroes go, Spiderman ranks right up there with Superman and Batman. We all know when it comes right down to it. It has been a couple of years since the last Spiderman movie, but Sam Raimi has been working not on just one movie but two for the series. Late this week, we had an announcement of a potential villain for the movie. Looks like we could see Rachel McAdams come in to play Black Cat in the fourth installment of the series. Not a done deal yet, but it looks good. Her character sounds very much like another Cat Woman. A rip off almost. Check out her character description below. What do you think?
Insiders says Rachel is a top contender for the role of Felicia Hardy, also known as the black cat. In the story, Spider-Man first encounters the Black Cat when she’s looking to free her sick father from prison. She becomes smitten with Spidey, to the point of a stalker-level obsession.
This is the time of year when shows are picked up or kicked to the curb. Southland was canceled weeks before their first episode of season two aired, which was a shocking move made by NBC. They had already filmed six episodes for the new season. Not long after the cancellation though TNT decided to come in and save the day, picking up the series. The new season will air there.
Dollhouse though is not so lucky. News came down yesterday that the series was being cancelled. This is no surprise. It airs on a Friday night for one, and it is on Fox for another. They are known for canceling low rated series quickly, especially those they put in the Friday night death slot. Eliza Dushku never seems to have any kind of luck with keeping a television show.
Dushku had the following to say about it on her Twitter:
Hear it here. Hey, that’s really why I started twitter, the rumors/news IS true: Dollhouse will not cont. past these 13 eps :(. BUT… There’s always a but… I can’t express enough– this has been one of the MOST rewarding experiences of my career. Thank you guys!
What do you think of Dollhouse’s cancellation? Bad move by Fox or not?
30 Seconds To Mars led by Jared Leto are on the comeback trail. They released their first single, Kings & Queens, a month ago to radio and then to iTunes. This single is off their upcoming release, This Is War, which hits on December 8th. The music video, more of a short film, finally hit MySpace Music last night, and the video takes us into the heart of Los Angeles on a night ride through the city.
The video was shot over several nights in Los Angeles last month with major parts of the city shut down especially for the shoot. After seeing the video directed by Jared Leto, I’m even more excited to see this new record release from the band. Check out the video below. What do you think? Hot or not?
It seems Rebecca Romijn can’t catch a break when it comes to television shows. Her latest, Eastwick, has just been canceled by ABC. Her last project a couple of years ago, Pepper Dennis, was canned at the end of a short mid-season, and this one looks to be on its way out. I hadn’t caught Eastwick myself this season, but it sounded promising. ABC has ordered more scripts for the latest Jerry Bruckheimer series starring Christian Slater, The Forgotten. Always been a fan of his work, and I keep meaning to check this one out.
With Eastwick on its way out, it looks like ABC might be ready to make some changes to its schedule. One that is being tossed around a bit is moving Ugly Betty out of its Friday death slot, where it seems to have held its own. No official word on if or when this will happen, but Ugly Betty might end up moving from Friday at 9/8c to Wednesday night at 10/9c. If I remember correctly, this will put it in the time slot immediately following Lost when it comes back in January. That is if Lost remains in its time slot.
This definitely sounds like a match made in heaven. Johnny Depp has just signed on to do a movie with Angelina Jolie. The Tourist was originally set for Sam Worthington and Charlize Theron, but Theron stepped out and Jolie stepped in. Tom Cruise was also in talks for this one at one point. Now it looks like Depp is set to join her. Something tells me these two on the big screen will be something amazing to see.
Just yesterday, I had the new trailer for you from Jolie’s next one, Salt. A few weeks ago, I had the Alice In Wonderland trailer for you from Depp. These two are two of the top actors in Hollywood at the moment. Both are excellent at what they do, and this movie sounds made for them.
Depp will play an American Tourist that gets taken in a by a woman working with Interpol. What do you think of this casting shake-up?
Angelina Jolie seems to know how to pick the action thriller movies. Even though after the birth of her twins, she said she was thinking of giving up acting, she went back to work on a new film a few months after their birth. That movie was Salt, and it was a role that was rewritten specifically for her after Tom Cruise backed out of the project.
The first trailer for the movie hit earlier this week, in Russian. Now the English release has hit the Internet. The movie follows an agent that ends up accused of being a Russian spy. The movie follows her chase.
From the looks of the trailer, it looks like Angelina has another possible winner here. Right now, she’s in LA spending time with her children while partner Brad Pitt is premiering his latest movie, Inglourious Basterds, in Tokyo.
Another Monday has arrived, and that means it is time to look at what happened at the box office this weekend. There was only one major film released last week, and that was Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Numbers for the release weren’t as impressive as many thought they would be. This Is It did manage to claim the top spot for the weekend from Paranormal Activity, which managed to come out on top of the box office in its fifth week of release. Over the weekend, This Is It managed to bring in $21.3 million. Paranormal was a close second with $16.5 million.
While there was only one release last week, we have four movies headed into theaters this week. The ones that might be of interest are the new version of A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz’s The Box. Two others also come out this week, and before their promos starting hitting my television last week, I had no idea about The Fourh Kind or The Men Who Stare At Ghosts. That last one is a new one with George Clooney, and there seems to be a huge push for it with advertising right now.
As for other releases, on DVD we have G.I. Joe hitting store shelves along with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and I I Love You, Beth Cooper. Television fans will have the first season of The Clone Wars to pick up. As far as music goes, there are a large number of new releases on CD hitting store shelves including new music from Carrie Underwood, Weezer and Morrissey. Check out below for a full list of this week’s releases. (more…)
Yes, you read that subject line right. Will Smith might head back for another Men In Black movie, Men In Black 3. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Sony Pictures is starting to put things together to pair up Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones once again as Agent J and Agent K.
If things continue to move forward with the project, shooting for the film should begin in 2010. I was a huge fan of the original movie and also the sequel. Both did quite well at the box office after their release, so it will be interesting to see just what Will & Tommy have to deal with next as the men in black.
I’d like to take this moment to wish everyone of my visitors that celebrate the day a very Happy Halloween! Be safe out there tonight if you’re going to go trick or treating or out partying. If you’re staying in, find your favorite scary movie and settle in for the night!
