Box Office Breakdown: A-Team’s Face Kicked by Karate Kid’s Foot
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks, Disney, Lionsgate, New Line, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Remakes, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists,
The battle of the ‘80s remakes was won by an actor born in 1998.
Despite featuring no actual karate and a Smith named Jaden, The Karate Kid had no problem kicking up Will Smith-esque dollars this weekend. (I’m sure it had something to do with that Justin Bieber song.). Sony’s remake of the 1984 classic surpassed early projections by rallying to a $55.7 million finish. The film’s debut means the 11-year-old star has already managed to outperform most of his father’s films. (I Am Legend opened to $77.2 million in 2007; Hancock premiered to $62.6 million in 2008.)
Meanwhile, Fox’s reboot of The A-Team cranked out what could be considered a B-grade performance. The movie, which cost over $95 million to make (compared to Karate‘s $40 million), only rang up $25.7 million in its first three days. That’s barely above the figure Liam Neeson’s Taken earned in 2009 ($24.7 million) and nowhere near the debut Bradley Cooper and Jessica Biel had with Valentine’s Day ($56.2 million).

Quote of the Day: Leonard Nimoy on Directing William Shatner
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Science Fiction, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking,
“I had been wanting to direct for some time. I had been told many times, ‘You should be a director,’ and I always took it as an insult; there must be something wrong with my acting. When Bill Shatner heard I was going to direct a Star Trek movie he went into deep shock. He was really worried. Look, everybody knows that we have become very, very good friends. But we’ve always been like two competitive siblings. But [as for me directing him] it worked out pretty well.”
-Retired actor Leonard Nimoy on working behind the camera for two different Star Trek films (The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home).

Tomb Raider Kim Kardashian
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Kim Kardashian is being lined up to play Lara Croft.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is reportedly top of the producers’ list to portray the adventuring archaeologist in a new Tomb Raider movie.
“Kim is wanted to play a far more comic-strip version of Lara, which would be shot in 3-D and aimed at a teen audience,” a source revealed. Kim currently has limited acting experience - only starring in TV show Beyond the Break and CSI:NY.
Angelina Jolie - who played the videogame star in two movies, 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life - is also said to be in consideration for the movie, along with Transformers beauty Megan Fox.
Another reality star has thrown her name into the running: The Hills star Heidi Montag previously expressed her desire to portray Lara Croft on the big screen: “I want to be blonde tomb raider, I’m better with guns than both Angelina and Megan Fox put together!”
