Cowboys and Aliens: This is Happening
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: DreamWorks, Universal, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Period, Science Fiction, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Daniel Craig. Harrison Ford. Sam Rockwell. Olivia Wilde. Jon Favreau. Steven Spielberg. Ron Howard. If you attach all of these names to one movie, does it legitimize the movie? Many Harry Potter fans had to ask themselves this question over the weekend when they were treated to the trailer you’ll find in the video above. The project is called Cowboys & Aliens, and this is not a joke.
Craig plays protagonist Jake Lonergan, who wakes alone in the desert with no memory of who he is. He knows only that he is alone, and has a mysterious metal shackle around his wrist. Things go from bad to worse when he learns that he is a criminal, wanted by the chief lawman in the nearest town (Harrison Ford).

Is Spielberg Interested in a Goonies Sequel?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adventure, Family, Sequels, Rumors, Trailers,
Twenty-five years after The Goonies hit the big screen, one of the film's actors claims there could possibly -- possibly -- be a sequel.
Corey Feldman, who starred alongside Sean Astin, Martha Plimpton and Kerri Green as Clark 'Mouth' Devereaux, claims many parties are interested reuniting for a follow-up -- including director Richard Donner and executive producer Steven Spielberg.
“We all like to see it happen, but it’s one of those stumbling blocks where no matter how much love there is ...," Feldman told The Hollywood Reporter. “I would do it if [the studio] was serious, but unfortunately they can’t seem to get it together," he explained. (Well, we all know that you would do the film, Corey -- but is Josh Brolin really hurting to do a sequel at this point?)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Adventure, Science Fiction, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Home Entertainment, Videos,
Anyone who loved Some Kind of Wonderful as much as I did might be interested in this little fun fact: A few years before Lea Thompson played Eric Stoltz�s love interest in that teen film, she came very close to playing his mother � in Back to the Future.
In fact, Stoltz did about five weeks of shooting on the classic sci-fi comedy before he was replaced. In the clip above for a special Blu-ray release of Back to the Future, director Robert Zemeckis and executive producer Steven Spielberg explain why the role of Marty McFly was ultimately recast. (That part, as we all know, eventually went to Michael J. Fox.)
Want to hear more behind-the-scenes scoop? Then make sure to check out the Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy when it�s released on October 26.

Steven Spielberg Eyeing Robopocalypse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: DreamWorks, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Books, Rumors,
Steven Spielberg is considering a directorial role on Robopocalypse.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker is lining up the project—based on a forthcoming novel by Daniel H. Wilson—with reports that Dreamworks is “in a frenzy” about the potential of the movie.
“With DreamWorks, everything is potentially a Steven project - until it’s not. That’s why everyone’s in a frenzy trying to read it,” a source told the Vulture blog.
The story, which was optioned by the studio back in November 2009, is believed to be a realistic portrayal of a possible robot uprising.
It is one of a number of robot-related projects being created by DreamWorks. Transformers 3 is due to be released earlier next year, while Reel Steel, a movie about robot boxing, is due to hit cinemas in November 2011.
Steven is currently filming War Horse - the tale of a boy who goes to the battlefields of World War I to find his beloved horse - and is attached to work on sci-fi movie Interstellar, due for release in 2012.

Quote of the Day: Shia LaBeouf on Being Disappointed by Indiana Jones 4
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adventure, Sequels, Celebrity Gossip,
“I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished… You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven [Spielberg, who directed]. But the actor’s job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn’t do it. So that’s my fault. Simple… I think the audience is pretty intelligent. I think they know when you’ve made ... . And I think if you don’t acknowledge it, then why do they trust you the next time you’re promoting a movie… We [Harrison Ford and LaBeouf] had major discussions. He wasn’t happy with it either. Look, the movie could have been updated. There was a reason it wasn’t universally accepted.”
-Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull‘s Shia LaBeouf admitting that Transformers 2 wasn’t the only disappointing sequel he was involved with.

Harrison Ford Ready for Indiana 5
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Action, Adventure, Classics, Family, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Rumors, Scripts,
Not even age can get an actor down: Harrison Ford is ready for another Indiana Jones movie.
The screen legend, who has played the titular adventuring archaeologist in the four previous films in the franchise, said he is keen to make a fifth film, and creator George Lucas is already working on ideas.
Harrison, who also starred in the original Star Wars trilogy, said, “I’d love to do it. George Lucas is working on an idea and if he can come up with something, Steven Spielberg and I have to agree to go ahead with it. If we find another story to do and we develop the character a little further and I get a chance to do another one, I’d be happy as pie to do it. I don’t think there’s any other franchise films that I’d want to go back to.”
The 67-year-old star particularly wants to deepen the relationship between archaeologist Indy and his son Mutt Williams, played by Shia LaBeouf in 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
