Lance Armstrong Denies Ashley Olsen Romance
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Celebrity Gossip,
Despite the reported sightings and Hollywood gossip, Lance Armstrong says there is no romance between him and Ashley Olsen, one-half of the famed Olsen twins.
Paparazzi have spotted the pair out and about many times, but Armstrong says this is just a May-December friendship, not a romance. Armstrong is 15 years Olsen’s senior, and says that while they have “hung out,” it was as part of a group. The rumor mill has recently reported that Olsen and Armstrong were seen together at a bar, and Ashley was on his lap. Now, that’s pretty friendly. Another report said the pair was making out.

Lohan Checks In, Out Of Jail
Posted by David Onda Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity Controversy,
TMZ is reporting that everybody’s favorite ginger-haired hottie, Lindsay Lohan, check in and out of the famed Lynwood Jail in California today. The box-office bombshell
reportedly turned herself in for arrest at 10:30 a.m. and checked out at 11:54 a.m. A whole 84 minutes in the slammer! Her stint in the clink stems from her Santa Monica DUI this past July which subsequently landed her in a rehab facility in Utah. Since returning to L.A., Lohan has been keeping her nose clean (ahem), and serving her time - community service and, apparently, otherwise.

‘1.18.08’ Officially Called ‘Cloverfield’
Posted by David Onda Categories: Paramount, Action, Adventure, Horror, Science Fiction, Thrillers, New Releases, Rumors, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
It has been a fiery topic among entertainment blogs and movie sites for months, and now the J.J. Abrams project previously known only by it’s release date - 1.18.08 - has finally got an official name: Cloverfield.
The Paramount film’s first trailer debuted prior to this summer’s smash-hit, Transformers, and has sparked speculation ever since. The rumors involved everything from the film’s poster and title to its plot and mysterious city-ravaging “monster.” And although many rumor mills figured out the film’s title some time ago, the second 1.18.08 trailer, which debuts this weekend before Paramount’s Beowulf, makes the sci-fi thriller’s title official.
But with another two minutes of footage to scrutinize, I’m sure the fanboys will find no shortage of more things to ask questions about.

First Sneak Peaks: ‘Harry Potter VI’
Posted by David Onda Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Family, Sequels, Books, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
WorstPreviews.com has posted the first sneak peaks at the production of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the second to last film/book in the Potter series. Don’t let the “worst previews” name fool you - these two videos, while giving a fairly minimal look at the movie itself, show interesting bits of film production such as an evolution in the Potter costumes and the set design of Wool’s Orphanage. The Half-Blood Prince is slated to open a year from now, on November 21, 2008, and will see the return of all of the film’s principal actors. Click the link below to see the production videos.

Tom Cruise: No Longer a Hot Ticket
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Box Office, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Tom Cruise has been steadily losing the favor of public opinion. All the couch-jumping, weird Scientology associations and media hype about his marriage with Katie Holmes is starting to have an effect on his box office power, once a mighty thing. The much-hyped Lions for Lambs did not bring in the expected sales, and in Hollywood you’re only as good as your last picture.
According to MSNBC, insiders are losing faith in Cruise’s once-guaranteed popularity. His high salary, coupled with sluggish movie sales, are helping to hammer home the fact that the fans are just no longer interested in Cruise – unless, of course, he’s being featured in a tabloid. Valkyrie, an upcoming flick featuring Cruise, is already getting bad press. A trailer was “leaked” on the Internet, and instead of being met with hopeful buzz, it has suffered a much more negative fate.

Director Attached to ‘Friday the 13th’ Remake
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Horror, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
As we mentioned before, Hollywood is planning yet another classic horror film remake. Now we have a name attached to the latest redo. Marcus Nispel, the power behind the 2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is in talks to do the same thing with the Friday the 13th franchise.
This time, the story will focus more on Jason and not his mother (as the first Friday did). In other words, they’re going to change the story. While millions of B-movie horror fans will be disappointed, new fans will be created. With the current writer’s strike raging on with no end in sight, fans can expect to see a lot of these new remakes making their way to theaters. Great.
The new Friday movie will begin production sometime this winter.

2007 Holiday Movie Guide
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks, Disney, Yari Film Group Releasing, Animation, Drama, Family, Romance, Comedy, Box Office, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
The music, the décor, the treats…the weather. The holidays are drawing near, and that can only mean one thing: lots of sappy heart-wrenchers are going to start appearing in our movie theaters. Even the films couched as comedies are sure to evoke a deeper meaning, all in an effort to open our holiday hearts.
Whether you want tears, laughter, or good old-fashioned family entertainment, this year Hollywood is running the gamut on movies designed to tempt you away from the malls and into the theaters. But will you actually see any of them? Get the scoop on all the upcoming movies being released this holiday season.
Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
I saw the trailer and immediately dismissed this movie out of hand. Never mind that it has Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman (a big star cast if ever there was one); this is a movie about a magic toy shop. HUH? Who actually got Hoffman and Portman to agree to this? Designed especially for kids and family, Magorium is about an inventor (Hoffman) and his manager’s (Portman) attempts to keep the shop open, despite intervention from an accountant (Jason Bateman).
This one’s for the little tykes, people. Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium comes to theaters November 16.

Winona Ryder, ‘House’ Star Join ‘Star Trek’ Film
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Science Fiction, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
In the past couple of days, we’ve learned of two more females added to the upcoming Star Trek film. Winona Ryder (The Age of Innocence) and Jennifer Morrison (House) will now be joining actress Zoe Saldana in the male-heavy cast.
Although director J.J. Abrams is being tight-lipped about Morrison’s role in the film, he has denied speculation that she will play secretary Yeoman Rand. Meanwhile Ryder has been cast as Amanda Grayson, the human mother of young Spock (Zachary Quinto). Saldana, as previously announced, will be starring as Lt. Uhura.

Box Office Breakdown: Fred Claus No Match for Jerry Seinfeld
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, Disney, MGM, Lionsgate, New Line, Sony, Touchstone, Universal, Warner Bros, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Political, Romance, Comedy, Sports, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists, New Releases,
In a shocking turn of events, Bee Movie came buzzing back to life this weekend stealing the #1 spot from recent victor, American Gangster. Bee’s $25 million take also embarrassed the newest comedic entry, Fred Claus.
Although fellow ‘Frat Packer’ Will Ferrell rang bells with November 2003’s Elf, Vince Vaughn couldn’t come close to matching his friend’s $31.1 million debut. The news was especially surprising given Vaughn and director David Dobkin’s recent collaboration on 2005’s Wedding Crashers. Could this mean Vaughn’s only appealing when he’s part of a larger comedic team?
Also noteworthy this weekend was the disappointing performance of Lions for Lambs. Lions wasn’t expected to take in Mission Impossible-esque numbers, but the film did still boast Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and actor/director Robert Redford. As it was, the movie grossed less than any other Cruise-attached wide release in more than 20 years. At least Streep can say this topical film debuted higher than her last attempt (Rendition).
P2, the only other new Top Ten entry, racked up ninth place.
