Kate Winslet Takes on Joan Crawford Role
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Remakes, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Big mistake. Rumor has it that Mildred Pierce, the 1945 joint that won Joan Crawford an Oscar, is going to be remade as a TV miniseries. Further rumor has it said series will air on HBO. And who’s starring in the title role? Kate Winslet.
Don’t get me wrong. I mean, she’s a fine actress. But Joan Crawford? Even Faye Dunaway later regretted trying to take on this silver screen icon.

Maher’s Religulous Already Creating Oscar Buzz
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Lionsgate, Documentary, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
After much delay, Bill Maher’s Religulous will finally make it to theaters October 3, 2008. The trailer is out and early reviews are giving the documentary high praise.
Maher, an avowed atheist, hits city streets in the film in an attempt to learn more of the true nature of religion. He converses with every day citizens, over-the-top zealots and many experts to talk about God - so fundamental to so many belief systems.
Already the media is talking about an Oscar nomination, some saying that Religulous is sure to get a nod in the documentary film category. According to Maher, the title of the film comes from the words “ridiculous” and “religious.”

Tim Burton’s Alice Is Off to England
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Disney, Adventure, Animation, Classics, Family, Mystery, Books, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
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!

Sex and the City Sequel Talk
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Rumors
I think you could probably file this under the “No Duh” category. During the Television Critics Association press tour yesterday, HBO’s programming head told everyone what they already knew: There’s talk about a Sex and the City sequel out there.
According to Michael Lombardo, “There’s enormous interest by Warner Bros. and New Line, and we’re trying to put that together now. Everyone associated with the project was liberated by the enthusiasm of the fans.”
But fans should, of course, not anticipate forming another group outing anytime soon. There’s still quite a few matters that need to be settled first - like a script, signed contracts…and how about possibly a reason? Is there a point where we should just let these girls walk off in their stilettos quietly? What could possibly happen to Carrie and Big next time? Will he decide that he likes Napa better than New York City?

The $24,000 Sex and the City Tour
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
If a simple bus tour wouldn’t be enough to quench your thirst for anything and everything Sex and the City, you can now do one better. For only $24,000, you can now live like the girls of the popular HBO show.
To celebrate the May 30th big screen debut, a company called Destination on Location will offer bored souls a way to experience someone else’s life.
For five nights, die-hard fans will travel to some of the characters’ favorite haunts. They will also receive products those four women frequently enjoyed. Stops will include a trip a trip to the SoHo House (remember when Samantha tried to get access to the exclusive club’s rooftop pool?), a shopping spree and cocktail party at Jimmy Choo, brunch at the same cafeteria the chatty ladies loved to dine in and access to the movie’s premiere on May 27th. (I’m assuming bucketloads of cosmopolitans will be served somewhere along this route.)

New Sex and the City Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Drama, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Finally - a more substantive glance at the upcoming Sex and the City Movie!
While I will undoubtedly watch the release, I must say the newest trailer gives the film a much darker tone than I would have liked to see. (You can view it for yourself, after the jump.) Is it because the show is best served on the small screen? Should the series only be viewed in 30-minute snippets? Is the teaser simply a bad representation? (Oh, I hope so.)
Regardless, the clip does give us a few juicy tidbits:
- Apparently Mr. Big’s (full) name is John James Preston. (I think I like him better when he’s not an actual person.)
- It looks like Steve may have cheated on Miranda. (The Steve I know would never do something like that.)
- Commitment-phobe Samantha may be wandering from Smith Jerrod.
- Charlotte is indeed pregant. (She adopted that kid for nothing.)
- And last but not least, Carrie’s planned wedding to Big falls apart?
Be looking for SATC to hit theaters this May 30.

HD DVD Owners Lose New Line, HBO
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Home Entertainment, Technology
Just days after Warner Home Video announced it was abandoning HD DVD owners, others have chosen to jump ship.
HBO Home Video and New Line Home Entertainment will both be following their distribution partner’s lead and go completely Blu-ray. Up until now, the two companies had been releasing high-definition titles under both formats.
Those with the Toshiba system should probably make a point of purchasing The Sopranos (Season 6) and Pan’s Labyrinth to keep in their HD DVD time capsule.

‘Borat’ Schtick Officially Put to Rest
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Comedy, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases
Recognizing that its often best to get out early, Sacha Baron Cohen has decided to put two of his famous characters to rest. Both Ali G and Borat Sagdiyev - personas created almost 10 years ago - will now only be remembered in their prime.
Thanks to the exposure on HBO’s Da Ali G Show and last year’s Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the actor/comedian understands that he can no longer keep up the element of surprise. Fortunately for fans, this will allow Sacha, 36, to now focus his attention on new roles. In addition to his flashy cameo in the currently released Sweeney Todd, Cohen will later be seen in Bruno - a film revolving around the Austrian fashion reporter often featured on his former cable show.
