New Moon Vamp Wants Tim Burton to Direct Breaking Dawn
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases
Can a director for the fourth installment of the Twilight franchise, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, possibly get any darker than the director for the third film, David Slade? New Moon actor Jamie Campbell Bower thinks so!
The actor, who plays the vampire Caius in the second film, touts The Nightmare Before Christmas director Tim Burton: “I think he’d just change it up. I think he’d screw around with it quite a lot, and aesthetically, I think it’d be incredibly different. I don’t know if the fans would like it, but I’d sure like it.”
Wait a sec—haven’t I seen him before?

Joss Whedon Was Serious About Terminator Bid
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Classics, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors
When I read Joss Whedon‘s open letter (seen in full after the jump) to the Terminator owners (putting down a $10,000 bid for the rights), I laughed so hard that I actually didn’t think that the Dollhouse creator penned it himself.
Up against moguls like Sony Pictures and Summit Entertainment (the folks behind the very profitable Twilight franchise), Whedon barely seems to stand a chance as he waves his meager $10,000 offer around—was he serious at all? Turns out that the geek extraordinaire hasn’t wanted money this badly “since they auctioned off frames from The Little Mermaid.”
When asked if he finds his bidding laughable, Whedon remarked, “What do you mean, funny?! You think $10,000 is funny?! Here’s the thing: It’s not a slam on The Terminator. I love The Terminator. That part’s totally true. So you know what, never hurts to ask.”
To much of his fans’ surprise, the writer-director claims that he doesn’t just like the series because his former co-worker Summer Glau was on the television series: “I loved the movies, even the later movies. I loved the mythology. I loved the TV show [The Sarah Connor Chronicles]–like, really loved. Not for pretend. And not just because of [star] Summer [Glau].”

Sex and the City Sequel Filming in Morocco
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: New Line, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases

While Carrie Bradshaw has been to Paris and the girls have traveled to Mexico, new photos taken of Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon reveal that the Sex and the City sequel calls for a story involving Morocco.
In the photo, Parker wears a classic “J’adore Dior” t-shirt matched with an envious color-block skirt and pink snake skin sandals. Nixon (seen after the jump) looks heavenly in an all-white outfit, comprised of a blazer and floor-length skirt.

New Moon Director Wants to Make You Cry
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Director of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Chris Weitz, wants to make fans of the series cry their tear ducts out.
“We’ve tried our best to deliver on the romantic scenes in the film, and I would like to be able to produce more tears than any movie before, if possible. If we could only weigh them with some kind of cubic tear measure!”
Weitz also spoke out about the lack of privacy there is with shooting the film, thanks to Twitter:
“To be honest, even making the movie is under a tremendous amount of scrutiny now, so that when the cast went back to Vancouver there were cameras everywhere. Everyone knows where every set is going to be. It goes with the Internet and all the information is out there all the time, and whenever one of them is spotted it’s immediately Twittered.”
Make sure you bring your tissue box when the film hits theaters November 20th.

Quote of the Day: Taylor Lautner on Shirtlessness
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases

“I worked hard to get in shape for this role. My motivation was the movie and the fans, but I don’t want to become known as just a body. If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that’s not very realistic. I certainly won’t be asking to do it, though.”
- New Moon hunk Taylor Lautner on going topless. I hope that he seriously reconsiders that bit about not wanting to take his shirt off again for a film!

Box Office Breakdown: Saw Outdone by Paranormal Activity
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Remakes, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists

Have audiences seen enough Saw?
Although Jigsaw is known for slaying his competition, the serial killer was no match for Katie Featherstone and Micah Sloat. This weekend, those two unknowns saw their small project, Paranormal Activity, finally top the box office charts. The movie, which was produced for approximately $15,000, reached that position after a steady climb up the ranks. (Aren’t films supposed to go down?) The horror flick also had a higher per screen average than any entry in the Top 10 despite fewer engagements.
