If you’re a fan of the Scream franchise then there is good news for you today because it has been announced that Ghostface will return for Scream 5 because it has been given the greenlight.
Harvey Weinstein did an interview with MTV and announced that despite Scream 4 only making $01 million so far, I know that’s still pretty good but for a film as big as Scream it should have made more, they will be going ahead and making a fifth installment to the franchise. Here is what he had to say:
“Foreign [sales] are so strong that we’ll do over $100 million worldwide, it’s at $90 now, with about five or six major countries to go and a lot of small ones. We’ll probably do $110 million. I wish it would have been better domestically, but it’s not the worst thing in the world that’s ever happened.”
I love the Scream franchise and was more than happy with how Scream 4 turned out so I’m pretty excited for them to go ahead and make a fifth film. No word on casting yet so we don’t know if Neve Campbell, David Arquette or Courteney Cox will return. What’s your thoughts on them making another Scream?
Well here is the first look of Ed Harris dressed up as John McCain for his role in HBO’s upcoming move, Game Change, which is about McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Last month we were treated to a sneak peak of Julianne Moore in her role as Sarah Palin, I think both of them look very convincing. What do you think?
I completely forgot that they had on planned on remaking ‘Total Recall’ but it’s still going ahead and according to The Hollywood Reporter Ethan Hawke has signed on to appear in the movie.
It’s unknown exactly what Ethan’s role will be yet but what we do know is that the Colin Farrell will be the lead in the remake of the 1990 classic and it’s believed that Bryan Cranston will play the villain in the movie.
On top of having this cast both Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are in negotiations to play the female leads in the film, I wonder if one of them will play the 3-breasted woman? Probably unlikely but I can hope, right?
The movie is supposed to start shooting next month in Toronto so I guess details will start leaking about Ethan’s role. What do you think of the cast? I myself think they should just leave the original movie alone.
If you haven’t heard about this new movie, ‘Unlawful Killing’, yet then you’re more than likely about to hear about it loads over the coming days. It’s a documentary about the death of Princess Diana and is set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. Here is the trailer.
The documentary raises a lot of questions that have still to this day gone unanswered and so it is bringing up old debates surrounding the death of Princess Di back in 1997. Keith Allen is the director behind this documentary and basically goes into the conspiracy as to whether Diana’s death was indeed an accident or if in fact it was a plan by the Royal Family to kill her.
Gawker reports that the movie will even show a death photo of Diana that was taken while she was lying in the French tunnel after the accident. Now I’m all for conspiracy’s and stuff but to include a photo like this to me is just distasteful.
By the way this has been banned in the U.K. because the Royal Family don’t want this film to be seen by anybody. I for one will be watching this. Will you?
I didn’t even know they were making a Final Destination 5 because the franchise was supposed to end after the fourth installment but here pops up a trailer for the fifth movie and I have to say it looks quite good.
The movie will follow the format of it’s predecessors in that a bunch of good looking teenagers will escape dying in a terrible accident but death will soon start to follow them and one by one they will end up dying.
This time the accident looks like it will take place when a bridge collapses and then things go from there, one girl appears to die during lasik eye surgery. Tony Todd will reprise his role as a coroner in the film, although he hasn’t appeared in the franchise since the second movie.
I have to admit I do love these films and I will definitely be checking this one out because it looks like it’s finally gone from trying to be funny to actually being a horror movie.
Have you watched a movie that is absolutely dreadful but yet you can’t turn it off and find yourself glued to the screen? There is plenty of them but Screen Junkies have come up with a list of the 5 best worst movies ever created. Some of them are so bad but you can’t help but think they are cinematic masterpieces. Take a look for yourself:
5. “Con Air”
It should come as no surprise to see a Nicolas Cage movie on this list. Cameron Poe (Cage) is finally getting out of prison, after killing a man in an act of self defense. He is clamoring to get home to see his beautiful wife and little girl. During transport of crazy convicts aboard a plane, those convicts high jack the plane. A guilty pleasure for sure. Cage puts on a horrid accent and sports another awful coif. A stellar cast (Steve Buscemi, John Malkovich, Danny Trejo, Ving Rhames and Dave Chappelle) assist Cage in some scenery chewing acting.
4.”Ladybugs”
Many may have forgotten about this 1992 comedy, while others may choose to simply block it from their minds. In an attempt to climb the corporate latter, Chester (Rodney Dangerfield) agrees to coach a girl’s soccer team. He soon realizes that the girls are terrible athletes and he must come up with a ringer in order to win a game. He enlists his future stepson, Matthew, to put on a blonde wig and become a part of the team. 90′s minor heartthrob plays Matthew/Martha, a kid who initially joins out of bribery but sticks around when he discovers that his dream girl is also on the team. A ridiculous plot, that is fairly sexist but also pretty funny.
3. “Drop Dead Fred”
Lizzie (Phoebe Cates) goes through a mental and emotional breakdown after her husband requests a divorce. Some women have their own ways of dealing with such pain, Lizzie deals by allowing her childhood imaginary friend, drop dead Fred, come back into her life. The problem with Fred is that he is a bit of a jerk and causes far too many problems that become poor Lizzie’s fault. “Drop Dead Fred” attempts to be a Tim Burton type film but fails to bring the same amount of whimsy. Phoebe Cates is lovely but Rik Myall (Fred) is just irritating.
2. “Spice World”
This is a film that is more silly than awful. In 1997 we were all living in a world of spice. The five pop stars with girl power were everywhere, so why not make a film where they are the stars? When you become that famous you can do anything you want, including asking Elton John to be in your movie.
1. “Showgirls”
Like Randy from “Scream 2″ says when claiming that “Showgirls” is his favorite scary movie, it truly is “absolutely frightening.” The acting is atrocious, proving that Elizabeth Berkeley had much better acting chops in “Saved by the Bell.” The idea that the protagonist (Berkeley) was such an amazing dancer, yet looks like she was having some sort of spastic fit most of the time. Let us not forget the classic pool sex scene featuring Berkeley and Kyle MacLachlan, a love scene that appeared to include some sort of seizure. There is a reason “Showgirls” is often recalled as a terrible movie and cult classic, it has the entertainment value and pure audacity of trying to be a legitimate drama.
Yeah I’d agree with this list, especially Spice World. The teenager in me can’t ever let myself hate this movie. What do you think of the list? Would you add anything to it?
It’s been 15 years since the first Scream came out in theaters and instantly became a classic and it’s been 11 years since Scream 3 came out. Now Scream 4 is set to be released tomorrow, and I can’t wait for it, so to celebrate this Digital Spy have come up with a list of the five best Scream death scenes. See if your favorite is on it:
05. Liev Schreiber – Scream 3
The initial suspect in the murder of Sidney Prescott’s mother Maureen, Cotton Weary was in fact framed by original killers Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Cotton, who was having an affair with Maureen at the time of her death, parlayed his trauma into becoming a Z-list celebrity. A talk show host by the time Scream 3 rolled around, Cotton and his girlfriend Christine (Kelly Rutherford) met a grisly end at the start of part 3 when Ghostface came looking for Sid…
04. Sarah Michelle Gellar – Scream 2
Sarah Michelle Gellar was defining her career in the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when she appeared in 1997′s hastily-assembled Scream sequel. It’s a clever bit of casting, as SMG’s smart-lipped sorority girl Casey ‘Cici’ Cooper gets nowhere near being “the final girl” as she carks it on campus. A knife in the back and drop off a balcony sees Buffy bite the dust in the clip below, which has a cracking ‘jump’ misdirection at the 3-minute mark and also features the voice of Gellar’s Cruel Intentions co-star Selma Blair…
3. Rose McGowan – Scream
“You wanna play psycho killer? Can I be the helpless victim?” Rose McGowan’s Tatum Riley almost gets away from Ghostface. But alas, that garage exit is just a bit too small for her to squeeze through. Getting squelched up against the ceiling is an undignified and painful end for Sidney’s best pal. Incidentally, Rose McGowan allegedly discovered during filming that she could fit all the way through the pet flap of doom…
2. Jamie Kennedy – Scream 2
Randy Meeks’s knowledge of horror cinema’s rules and conventions helped him survive the first Woodsboro bloodbath (just about!), but when it came to the sequel he was all out of luck. Played with a nerdy exuberance by Jamie Kennedy, Randy’s murder in the back of a truck was not met favourably by Scream fans so Craven resurrected the character via a recorded video message for Scream 3.
1. Drew Barrymore – Scream
It had to be this, didn’t it? The opening scene to Scream shocked cinemagoers and perfectly sets up the self-referential, satirical tone for the horror franchise. Drew Barrymore, who was on the verge of a career resurgence at the time, could’ve been the star of the franchise… Not so in Craven and writer Kevin Williamson’s mind. The pair rip a page out of Alfred Hitchcock’s book (Psycho famously offed Janet Leigh early), killing Drew’s Casey Becker in the opening minutes as she waits for her boyfriend. It sums up Scream’s ethos perfectly: Nobody is safe!
Of course Drew’s had to be number 1 but I would have made Sarah Michelle Gellar’s number 2. What are your thoughts?
Some people might consider Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson to be some of the hottest in Hollywood so you would imagine a sex scene between them both would be good. Not for her, she says it was disgusting.
Reese and Robert both star in their new movie ‘Water for Elephants’ and in it they are supposed to have a hot love scene and while most girls in the world would kill for this opportunity she says filming it made her stomach turn.
Speaking to InTouch Weekly she says “Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I’ve ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life. He was literally snorting and snotting through every second of it – and it was not appealing. I’m talking green, infectious, disgusting – I’m not kidding! I’m going to say it’s a little bit of a downer. I was a little disappointed. It wasn’t sexy.”
I won’t be watching this movie because it’s not my cup of tea at all but I will probably YouTube the sex scene just to see the exact moment when Reese was wanting to puke down his mouth.
I can’t believe I didn’t know that they were even making this movie because I am usually up to date on movies like this, but anyway here is the official trailer for the Rise of the Planet of the Apes which stars James Franco.
When I first seen this trailer I got all tingly on the inside but then I seen it was Franco as the star and my hopes were killed a little but I have to say the movie does look pretty damn good.
This is supposed to be a prequel to “Planet of the Apes” and see’s Franco’s character trying to find a cure for Alzheimer by testing on apes but while doing that he makes their brain work better. It is set for release on August 5th.
I always forget that Jordana Brewster even exists because the only time I ever really hear about her is when she is promoting one of the Fast and the Furious movies. So since the latest one, Fast Five, is coming out she is doing just that which involves her posing in a bikini for Maxim Magazine and here is a bit of the interview she did:
You’re our first Ivy League cover model. Do you think Yale is proud of you? “Oh, yeah. I’m hoping to be on some dorm room walls over there.”
Let’s talk Fast Five. “This movie is bigger than all the others. The Rock—I always call him the Rock, but, you know, Dwayne Johnson—plays a federal agent hunting down Dom, Brian, and Mia. That’s Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and me.”
Maxim also has a behind the scenes video of her photoshoot but sadly it won’t embed for me so you can check that out at the source but first make sure to look at the photos below. This definitely makes me want to go see the latest movie.
As you can see above the first official poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two has been released through the official Twitter account for the movie.
In the poster Daniel Radcliffe squares up against Voldemort to get fans excited for final battle between the two when the movie gets released on July 15th. I’m not a big fan of Harry Potter but I am looking forward to this movie.
Three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams has been cast as the new Lois Lane in the up-coming Superman reboot it’s been confirmed by director Zack Snyder. Here is what he tells the LA Times:
“There was a big, giant search for Lois, for us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it. It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance].”
I actually agree with him, I think she is perfect for the role because she is not only a good actress but she is also incredibly hot. Henry Cavill has already been cast to play Superman a long with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane who will both play Superman’s parent’s the Kents. This movie is shaping up to seem like it could be pretty good.
As you can see, the official poster for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has been released and as I guessed it’s all about Johnny Depp.
The poster shows Captain Jack Sparrow with a few mermaids and burning ship in the background, since Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom turned the 4th movie down they are not featured in it.
The movie’s synopsis goes as this “Jack Sparrow and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and his daughter are after it too.”
Penelope Cruz will play Blackbeard’s daughter and Gemma Ward will also star in the movie so that’s were I will be getting my eye candy from when I watch this movie on DVD, because there’s no way I’m going to see it in theaters as I have a feeling it is going to be dreadful and just like the past movies will be full of Jack Sparrow. If you do want to see the movie in theaters it’s released on May 20, 2011.
Who doesn’t love a good Horror movie? I know I sure do love them, so it was nice to come across the 9 most memorable horror movie moments according to Daemons Movies. Here is what they chose:
28 Days Later
One of the best zombie movies that I’ve seen in a long time; the opening scene of 28 DAYS LATER is pretty freaking creepy. Cillian Murphy wakes up in an empty hospital completely alone, with no memory. He heads out into the world, only to discover that London is completely abandoned. Seeing the empty streets of the city and how London really is completely abandoned without another soul anywhere is chilling.
An American Warewolf In London
The transformation scene in AN AMERICAN WEREWOFL IN LONDON where we see David’s back bend, his hands and feet elongate, and his teeth morph into fangs still sticks with me… even though I’ve seen a lot worse. Not only does the makeup look too damn realistic for my liking, but David Kessler sells his painful transformation with amazing honesty. This scene will have you cringing in your seat; but it’s movie magic at its best.
Poltergeist
This description is going to be brief. In fact, let’s just say this: “They’re heereeee….”
The Ring
THE RING has been on my list of horror movies every time I write about them. And I always say the same thing – The Ring opened the door for Japanese horror to hit American theaters and because we’d never seen anything like it; it scared the hell out of audiences. The scene when Samara climbs out of the television is terrifying. The way she moves, her long black hair, added to the fact that she’s supposed to be dead, just brings The Ring to a level of horror that is hard to pass up.
The Shining
Who can forget two major parts of THE SHINING? When little Danny is riding his tricycle down the halls of the Overlook hotel not only does the sound make us uneasy, but just when we think it’s a throw away scene, at the end of a long carpeted hallway are two little girls in blue dresses, bidding Danny to “come play with us..” Yikes.
But wait, there’s one more – Again when Danny is riding his tricycle and comes to a stop outside of the elevators of the hotel. Slowly blood starts to seep out from the crack of the doors and then all of a sudden, a tidal wave of blood is pouring in the hotel’s hallway.
Carrie
One of my favorite horror movies, CARRIE also holds one of the most iconic scenes in horror. When shy Carrie is asked by the popular boy in school to her senior prom, it was a breakthrough moment for awkward girls everywhere. Little did she know that the kids at her school had planned a horrible trick on her. She’s crowned prom queen, and there is the brief moment when, as an audience member, we want to just yell at Carrie to not step foot on the stage, but she does. And she is crowned, and is so happy holding her bouquet of roses, when from the rafters falls a bucket of pigs blood. Well, the joke is on the popular kids, because Carrie doesn’t take kindly to this and using her kinetic powers sets fire to the gym… which is the ultimate kick ass revenge reaction for shy girls everywhere. Who HASN’T wanted to burn down our high school gym?
The Exorcist
Another movie to always make my horror movie lists, THE EXORCIST also holds one of the most iconic moments in the horror movie genre. When little Regan is possessed by the demon it does all sorts of things to her body. From a crab walk down the stairs, to throwing her around her bedroom, there is one scene of The Exorcist that will always stick with audiences. You know what I’m talking about… the head spin. What the hell, right?! When Regan’s head turns 360 degrees around, audiences everywhere had a mini stroke. Some people actually fainted and threw up, but the scene is amazing and stands the test of time.
The Silence Of The Lambs
This is one that I toyed with for a while, but decided that when the police discover that Hannibal Lecter has escaped and left them a little present, well… I still can’t watch that scene. BUT that’s not the most memorable moment of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Nope. I’m talking about the scene that doesn’t involve Lecter; the scene with Buffalo Bill dancing around in his bedroom while Catherine Martin is in a dirt pit in his basement. Creepppppy.
Se7en
Was there a person that saw SE7EN and DIDN’T have their jaw drop to the floor when they found out “what was in the box”? I know I about had a heart attack and couldn’t believe that a movie went there with one of the main characters. Fantastic movie, and a scene that will stay with audiences for a long time.
This is one of the few lists that I have actually seen every one of these films and agree with every choice on it but I would also add the rape scene from The Hills Have Eyes, that bit always sticks out to me. What would you put on this list?
The nominations for the 83nd Academy Awards were announced earlier this morning by Mo’Nique and Academy President Tom Sherak and as usual there was no big surprises.
The only surprises was the likes of Julianne Moore, Andrew Garfield, Christopher Nolan and Ryan Gosling all getting snubbed and left out in the dark.
The King’s Speech leads the pack with twelve nominations, True Grit comes in second with ten while The Social Network and Inception have eight each.
Anne Hathaway and James Franco will host the ceremony when it airs live February 27 on ABC. Who do you think will win each category?
