Sneak Peek: New Video Clip From Nine

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Weinstein Company, Adaptation, Drama, Musicals, Romance, Casting, Filmmaking, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos

Rob Marshall’s new film Nine is epic.

For one, the cast is impeccable: Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson, and Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson. That’s 7 Oscar wins and 11 Oscar nominations between them!

Secondly, this video—spliced with rehearsal footage and new clips of the film—just makes me more excited for musical (that could be my Chicago and Moulin Rouge fangirl in me). Having been partially based on Federico Fellini’s autobiographical 8 1/2, I can’t see why it won’t please audiences.

I suppose we shall find out on its opening day, December 25th; in the meantime, enjoy the video!

Toy Story Gets Extended 3D Run

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Animation, Family, Sequels, Box Office, Upcoming Releases, Videos

If your film is still charting in fifth place, why pull the plug now?

Although it was originally slated for a two-week stint, the Toy Story/Toy Story 2 double feature has been given a longer stay. The popular 3D reissuing will now have an indefinite run. (It will most likely be pulled before A Christmas Carol opens on November 6.)

Since being re-released on October 2, the Pixar classics have combined forces for approximately $22.8 million in ticket sales.

Those still unable to relive the experience before it leaves theaters can get their sneak peek of Toy Story 3 above.

Original Fame Director Speaks Out Against Remake

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: MGM, Music, Musicals, Remakes, New Releases, Trailers, Videos

Maybe Fame does live forever. Though the remake has premiered, some are still nostalgically looking to the past. One of the contributors to the original film project, Sir Alan Parker, has gone on record to speak out against the newly-remade movie.

Fame, which was released in 1980 and quickly became a classic, recently arrived in the UK. It was originally directed by Parker, who said that seeing the remake was “a bit like being mugged.” You see, apparently he was never consulted about the new version of the film, which Sir Alan sees as something of a slight. Calling the project “dreadful,” he says of the situation, “such are the realities of Hollywood manners and American copyright law.”

Pirates Franchise Sails On…Without Depp?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Disney, Action, Adventure, Family, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Corporate Shakeups, Rumors, Upcoming Releases, Videos

Which is bigger: Depp or Disney?

Dick Cook, former chairman of the uber-company and friend to actor Johnny Depp, recently left the company and left the fate of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise up in the air. Depp stated that he may discontinue his piracy if Cook is no longer at the helm of the ship.

But here’s the really shocking part: Disney plans to forge ahead without him. Depp is signed up to do On Stranger Tides, the fourth installment in the franchise, but two more movies are planned after this.

So…is there any way the movies could possibly work without Captain Jack Sparrow? Disney’s pretty big…but it’s doubtful the company has the chops to make Pirates work without Depp in the lead.

Eager crowds will now have to wait until April 2010 to see the film, which was initially scheduled for a January release. Strangely, promotion for the show has already begun. Miley’s singing a track from the flick on her Wonder World Tour, which also features a trailer for the movie.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Adaptation, Comedy, Upcoming Releases, Videos

Can MacGruber find a way to survive when he’s given more than 10 seconds to try?

In the big screen version of the popular Saturday Night Live sketch (you can see some clips after the jump), Will Forte and Kristen Wiig reprise the characters who are always moments away from death. The movie, which is currently filming in New Mexico, is separate from a MacGyver adaptation that New Line is reportedly putting together.

Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer are also on board the Lorne Michaels-produced version. MacGruber is scheduled for a April 16, 2010 release.
