Yes, yes. You’ve probably already seen the High School Musical 3 trailer, posters and extra clips...but have you see the music video?
While there are no Zac/Vanessa duets in this clip, we do get Sharpay and Ryan belting their hearts out to “I Want It All.” (BTW - I think Ashley Tisdale looks 10x better with a lot less hair.)
You can watch Part II of this song after the jump.

Who knew Harry Potter’s departure would have such repercussions?
When Entertainment Weekly produced last week’s Fall Movie Preview edition (the one with that bespectacled wizard on the front), I don’t think they anticipated having such outdated information. Unfortunately, Warner Bros.’ decision to move Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to July 2009 has set off a series of schedule changes.

As a High School Musical observer (I can’t really call myself a true fan), I have to say the interviews in the following preview are painfully boring.
But when watched in mute, this clip does provide a few visual treats not see in the previous trailer.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year checks into theaters on October 24.

Hannah Montana’s Deleted Jonas Brothers Clip

Given the insane popularity of the Jonas Brothers, it’s hard to imagine that the trio would be cut out of anything at this point. But in this year’s Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, fans were left without one of the boy band’s numbers.
In the snippet below, you can see a short clip of the brothers performing “SOS.” The performance will be included on the movie’s DVD, which is being released tomorrow.
BTW - Am I the only one wondering if Joe Jonas was stuck in that half-split? Or he did he intend to take it (really) slow while getting back up?

Box Office Breakdown: Batman Smokes Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express’ strong open last week made number crunchers wonder: Would this be the week Batman was finally taken down? Unfortunately, breaking the record for ‘Any Wednesday in August’ doesn’t necessarily mean a movie will succeed on Friday or Saturday or Sunday. And despite Pineapple‘s promising start (the movie grossed $12.1 million on its first day), the comedy found itself smoked by the Caped Crusader.
The Dark Knight’s recent $26 million take has now pushed the film past $441 million. When the sequel passes Star Wars‘ $461 million (which should happen shortly), it will become the #2 film of all time. By staying on top for the fourth weekend in a row, Knight has also accomplished something that hasn’t been done since 2003’s Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

Tim Burton’s Alice Is Off to England

Disney’s favorite eccentric director Tim Burton is at it again, and this time he’s digging a bit older and traveling a bit further for his latest classic remake: Alice in Wonderland.
Burton is taking the cast and crew across the pond to Plymouth, where they will be holding auditions this week for the film’s extras. Casting director Ilenka Jelowicki explains why the locale is perfect for production:
“It’s a period movie, set in Victorian England, so we’re very specific about the look we need. In an ideal world, out of the 125 women we need, they would all have long, naturally coloured hair. We’d love men with beards or facial hair – lamb chops or big sideburns, that sort of thing.”
The only confirmed cast member is HBO’s Australian actress Mia Wasikowska (In Treatment), who is set to play Alice. Take a wild guess who might be casted as one of the crazy Wonderland characters—I dare you!

It was a close one. A very close one. But after a tight contest, The Dark Knight once again emerged as the box office winner this weekend.
Although it initially appeared as if The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was going to bring Batman down, the three-quel lost steam at the end. The film, which grossed $40.4 million over the past three days, narrowly lost out to Knight and wound up being the lowest performer in its series. (The Mummy opened at $43.4 million in 1999 while The Mummy Returns scored $68 million in 2001.)

Prince of Persia Gets Pushed Back

In hopes of creating another successful franchise, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer have made the decision to delay their next joint feature.
Originally scheduled for next June, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has been pushed back a whole year. It’s believed this calendar shift will give the crew more time to perfect the post-production work necessary for the video game adaptation.
As a bonus, the change of date will allow Persia to avoid the premiere of Transformers 2 on June 26. (This is, of course, assuming Shia LaBeouf’s injuries allow that movie to even stay on track.)
Jake Gyllenhaal and his princely hair will now arrive in theaters on Memorial Day weekend 2010.

Details on the Jonas Brothers Movie

If you got caught in the mania behind February’s Hannah Montana movie, consider this your warning. You now have just over six months to go until the Jonas Brothers have their turn.
Early next year, fans of Nick, Joe and Kevin will get their chance to see the hot boy band in glorious 3-D. The Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Movie will be comprised of footage from their current Burning Up tour combined with behind-the-scenes stuff on the musicians’ lives. Based on the interest of Miley Cyrus’ outing, Disney could expect to see ticket sales in the neighborhood of $30 million on opening weekend alone.
The Jonas Brothers will rock the theaters on February 27, 2009.
