Not Another American Pie!

American Pie

Through what could end up being a colossally bad idea, the American Pie franchise is going to get a little bigger. That’s right - Hollywood gossip says this dead horse is coming back to the theaters for yet another sequel.

What, you aren’t ready for a seventh helping?

Yes, it’s true. If you didn’t know (and you probably didn’t), there are six Pie movies total (1 and 2, Wedding, Band Camp, The Naked Mile and Beta House). Oh, and the new one - supposing it actually ends up happening.

According to rumor, the film is to be dubbed American Pie 4 (a sequel to American Wedding) and will be released in theaters. That is, provided there’s a script, a cast and a crew. So far, none of the franchise stars are contracted to the project.

Eddie Murphy

Early today, Popeater started reporting that (of all people) has been cast in the role of The Riddler. The character was played by funnyman Jim Carrey in the 1995 Batman film, and Carrey was soundly abused by critics for his efforts.

Britain’s The Sun broke the Murphy news and the story was quickly picked up elsewhere in the world. The newspaper further reported that Murphy would hit the screen in the role in 2010, and that the movie has a working title of Gotham. Murphy as The Riddler? Well, he is pretty funny. Sure, that could work. Right?

Wrong. reports that Murphy will not be play the villain. His rep has stepped forward to deny the story first appearing in The Sun. “No one has talked to me about it ever - never.” One rumor connects Johnny Depp to The Riddler role instead.

Who will play The Riddler? Since those behind the Batman film say they haven’t even worked out the story for the film, it’s a little premature to assume the character will even make the final cut.

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

Will SmithPerez Hilton is reporting that fans will enjoy a few follow-ups to his former hits. In recent years, the actor has turned into one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars - and his resume can prove it. The leading man has rarely been out of theaters for more than a few weeks at a time, appearing in dramas, comedies, even action flicks without pause.

But which of his former hits is true sequel material?

According to Hilton, Hancock and I Am Legend will both make a triumphant return to the theaters for new installments to the tales. A source quoted as being an “insider” says that Smith is already locked in for another superhero tale in Hancock, but still hasn’t signed on to the project.

As to , the new movie which actually be a prequel that shows “the fall of the last great American city.” One can only assume he means New York, the setting of the first flick.

All of this isn’t completely unfounded rumor, either. Smith’s rep has confirmed at least this much: “there have been talks about both of these projects.”

Which means we can expect new Smith sequels sometime in 2010.

The SATC Rumor That Wasn’t

Sex and the City movie

The weekend is over, the results are in, and is definitely the hen of the walk. The movie raked in $55.7 million this weekend, driving Indiana Jones down to the number-two box office position. But now that all the surprises have been spilled, one question remains: what’s up with that a-character-is-going-to-die rumor?

As far as we know, even Miranda’s cat Fatty is still alive and well. Steve’s mom is just fine and living in a home, Magda’s still kicking and yes, all four girls remain well within the realm of the living. So…what’s up with that?

Queen LatifahThe media is currently engaged in a fierce battle, as every single publication seems to be fighting for a single honor: they want to be one to out Queen Latifah.

Update: ‘Hitman’ to Remain R-Rated?

Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Religious, Thrillers, Rumors, Upcoming Releases

Hitman logoYesterday, we reported that the upcoming Hitman film, based on the eponymous videogame franchise, was to be re-cut and cleaned up to achieve an MPAA rating of PG-13. Well, it looks like the folks over at TwitchFilm have received an official response from a PR representative over at Fox.

It seems that, while Nicholas De Toth has been brought in as a consultant on the film, director Xavier Gens is still involved. Fox also assured us that Hitman will remain R-rated, despite the rumors.

It would be nice if Fox just came out and told us what exactly is going on, but let’s face it—Hitman is based on a violent videogame, and Fox would probably do well to give people what they expect. And besides, I’m already tired of this story …
