Bill and Ted Reunion? Excellent!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adventure, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Rumors, Scripts,
Remember Alex Winter, the guy who played Bill S. Preston? Former co-star Keanu Reeves (Ted Theodore Logan) does, and that’s good news for a lot of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure fans.
The two were seen on Friday night palling around in Hollywood, and we’re hoping it means a long-awaited sequel is in the works.
The two actors began their Excellent Adventure in 1989. The film instantly gained a cult following and blossomed into a franchise, spawning three TV series, one feature-length sequel and even a stage musical. After the actors followed up with a Bogus Journey in 1991, Keanu Reeves went on to become a major Hollywood player. Alex Winter became “that guy in the Bill & Ted movies ... the one who’s not Keanu Reeves.”
And he may get the chance to be that guy again. Rumor has it that the original scriptwriters are indeed working on a new chapter in the tale, and apparently Keanu and Alex are getting chummy again. TMZ managed to get some video of the big event if you’d like to take a look.
As you might expect, the two actors still look excellent together.

Combine a mysterious baby and a barking dog with a $3 million budget – and what do you get? Horror’s biggest opener to date.
Paranormal Activity 2, Paramount’s follow to last year’s surprise hit, scared up a record-breaking $40.7 million over the pre-Halloween weekend. The film not only took first place away from Jackass 3D, it edged past Friday the 13th for the scream title. (That 2009 remake debuted to $40.6 million in February 2009.)
Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter, which expanded from a limited release, also made entry into the Top 10. The Matt Damon-starrer settled into fourth place with a $12 million take.

Liam Neeson Takes Over Mel Gibson’s Hangover 2 Cameo
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Warner Bros, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Celebrity Controversy, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Liam Neeson has been selected to take over the tattoo artist role in Hangover 2, a cameo originally given to Mel Gibson. When some members of the cast and crew protested to Gibon’s participation in the film, a rep for both actors quickly swapped the one for the other.
The rep joked that Neeson would join the film “pending clearance of cast and crew background check.” Apparently, the Irish actor passed the test because TMZ is reporting that Neeson arrived in L.A. Saturday to begin working on the film.

Jessica Alba’s Fake Nude Scene
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Technology,
If you're a Jessica Alba admirer, you probably already know -- and have been disappointed by the fact -- that she doesn't like to do nudity. That's why a scene in the recent film Machete caused many jaws to drop. Well, prepare to have them dropped further.
Although the actress really didn't (fake) expose more than what we see in magazines these days, that extra amount of skin was actually the result of computer magic. As you can see from the before still on the left, the married mother of one wore a strapless bra and underwear for the moment.

Mel Gibson Loses His Hangover (Role)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity Controversy, Upcoming Releases,
It appears Hollywood is not yet ready to forgive and forget when it comes to Mel Gibson.
Earlier this week, we wondered whether audiences would welcome a cameo from Mel in The Hangover Part II. Unfortunately, we'll never know the answer.
Although someone had tapped the Oscar winner to play a tattoo artist in the comedy, the casting decision was not embraced by all those involved. On Thursday, Warner Bros. issued a press releasing announcing Gibson's dismissal from the project.

Creepy! Ouija Board Movie a Real Possibility
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Adventure, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Ouija boards (pronounced wee-jee or wee-ja) have played roles in movies before. The Exorcist’s Linda Blair talked to “Captain Howdy” with one just before she went nuts and started projectile vomiting, one spontaneously burst into flames to frighten views in Paranormal Activity, and more than one slumber party has been creeped out when the Ouija is jokingly pulled forth during the witching hour.
As far as board games go, the Ouija is the scariest and the most mysterious (sorry, Clue fans). So … when is Hollywood going to take advantage and make a Ouija-centric film? Well, we hear that it's finally going to happen.

Adrien Brody Sues to Stop One of His Own Movies
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Horror, Independent, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Distribution, Home Entertainment, Trailers,
Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody is suing Hannibal Pictures, for whom Brody worked with two years ago to film Giallo. In the lawsuit filed last week, Brody sought to stop the release of the horror film. (The DVD hit stores yesterday.) His claim? The producers still owe him $640,000.
It’s too bad the film has been available in rental stores since September 7. “He should have gone to Blockbuster and picked it up,” quipped Martin Barab, a lawyer for the defense. The lawyer acknowledged that Brody has only received $960,000 of his $1.5 million fee.
