Tim Burton To Direct Addams Family In 3D!

On 03.18.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

Tim Burton is doing yet another remake with a 3D stop-motion animated version of The Addams Family reports Deadline NY.

This new version however will not be related to the classic TV comedy or the 90’s films, but rather the original Charles Addams drawings that appeared in New Yorker magazine and inspired the show. This version will likely have a more adult and witty tone in line with the original drawings.

A writer is being sought for the film and should be hired shortly. Burton’s next project, Frankenweenie, uses a 3D/stop-motion technique that will also be employed on this.

Bryan Singer Talks X-Men Future!

On 03.18.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

Director Bryan Singer and producer Lauren Shuler Donner talked with The Los Angeles Times about the upcoming spin-off feature X-Men: First Class and the future of the franchise.

First Class, Singer revealed will deal with the point where the friendship soured between Professor X and Magneto due to their different philosophies as well as Xavier’s establishment of the school. Singer says

“Just doing younger mutants is not enough. The story needs to be more than that. I love the relationship between Magneto and Xavier, these two men who have diametrically opposite points of view but still manage to be friends — to a point.”

Singer is in demand by those involved, not only does Donner want him for a full-on fourth X-Men ensemble film but a recent dinner Singer had with Hugh Jackman sounded like the Aussie actor was trying to get Singer involved on the Wolverine sequel as well.

When Donner brings up the subject of X4 in the interview, Singer turned to her and said “Hold that one off for just a little, I’m fixated on the other one right now” to which she responded “I will, I will … I’m holding it open with high hopes. It’s totally different and it will be so interesting for you.”

Fans Shut Down Johnny & Angelina’s Set!

On 03.18.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

Is it just me or Angelina getting boring by the second?

Production on Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolie’s latest film “The Tourist” was shut down Wednesday in Venice, Italy, because too many fans showed up trying to get pictures of the high profile stars at work.

Apparently the fandemonium was too overwhelming for security, so after discussion and to ensure everyone’s safety, production wrapped early.

A rep for the film would neither confirm nor deny the story.

It’s also been said that contrary to earlier reports that Angelina Jolie was after Johnny Depp, it appears the reverse is actually happening due to Depp’s lack of interest in the gorgeous star.

According to OK! Magazine, a source who has worked closely with Johnny says the Salt star “just isn’t Johnny’s type. Trust me, kissing Angelina Jolie on camera is the least exciting thing he’ll do all year.”

The Alice in Wonderland star “likes to do movies that are a lot weirder” than the romantic thriller, explains the source.

“Johnny’s dream co-star is someone more along the lines of Helen Mirren.”

Oh………..MEOW!!!!!

Alex Chilton Dead at 59

On 03.18.10, In Music, By The Ro

I’m sure I’ll update this better as I’m hurried writing this at the moment, but it is worth mentioning even if too quickly that Alex Chilton of Big Star and The Box Tops died at the age of 59 as reported to this morning by Pitchfork. To make this even just a bit worse, he was scheduled to play with a reformed Big Star at SXSW this very weekend. No details on cause of death yet, stay tuned.

*EDIT* Appears that the leaning is towards heart attack, but still that’s just rumours at the moment.

*EDITx2* Some Videos:

Yeah that’s right – he was behind that song…

Marion Cotillard Stabbed!

On 03.17.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

During a ceremony in France on Monday, French actress Marion Cotillard was honored as a member of the Order of Arts and Letters – and was accidentally stabbed in the chest with her honorary medallion.

France’s culture minister Frederic Mitterand was attaching the pin to her blouse, when the needle jabbed the La Vie En Rose beauty in the torso, causing both the actress and the minister to gasp in pain in front of the crowd.

The actress nearly tumbled over in her silver stilettos, however, the pain seemed to be short-lived as both Cotillard and Mitterand broke into laughter on stage.

Prior to the inadvertent jab, Mitterand praised the actress for her “charm, natural grace and beauty.”

Cotillard, who took home the Oscar for Best Actress in 2008, has since starred in such films as Public Enemies with Johnny Depp and Rob Marshall’s Nine.

Alice in Wonderland director Tim Burton was also honored during the ceremony – however, he escaped without injury.

Toy Story 3 Airs At ShoWest!

On 03.17.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

Toy Story 3, which screened Tuesday for theater owners attending their annual ShoWest convention, poses a new question for the gang from the 1995 hit that launched computer animation into the feature-film world: Is there life for a toy after your kid grows up?

“Come on, let’s see how much we’re going for on eBay,” laments John Ratzenberger’s Hamm the Piggy Bank as he and the other toys ponder a lonely future, with their owner, Andy, heading to college and leaving them behind.

Though the film is not yet finished, with much of the animation still in rough form, the screening provided a sneak peek for one of summer’s most anticipated releases.

By all accounts from the attendees who saw the rough cut, it’s the best Toy Story yet!………..Can’t wait!

Miss Griffin Goes To Washington!

On 03.17.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

Our favorite funny redhead is heading up a gay rights rally in our nation’s capitol later this week…

“I’m organizing a rally to help repeal the antiquated policy of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’” she wrote in a post earlier today on her official website. “All you have to do is show up! Spread the word.”

Griffin is meeting with several legislators while she’s in DC, “but it’s the average American citizen and their constituents are who they REALLY listen to.”

The rally, set to kickoff at noon on Thursday at Freedom Plaza, will be filmed for her reality series My Life on the D List for next season’s serious episode.

Griffin targeted Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell after meeting closeted troops while performing for them in Iraq and Afghanistan and visiting injured vets at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

“They cannot stand up for themselves, so it’s time we stand up for them and be their voice,” she wrote. “They put their lives on the line for us every day, all the while risking getting fired, discharged, losing all their benefits and maybe even worse, just for being ‘found out.’”

Is she TOTALLY awesome or what?

MacGruber Debuts At SXSW Festival!

On 03.17.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

The stars were out in Austin on Monday night, as enthusiastic cast members Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe and Val Kilmer, along with friends like SNL’s Seth Meyers and comedian Paul Scheer, came out to celebrate the world premiere of MacGruber which is in theaters May 21.

The sketch-to-feature adaptation, SNL’s first since the Ladies Man (2000), follows the exploits of a doofus soldier of fortune (played brilliantly by Forte) as he tries to take down his arch enemy (Kilmer) who happens to be in possession of a nuclear warhead.

Kilmer’s character, who fancies painting aged women in the nude when he’s not wreaking havoc on the world, is named Cunth.

If imagining the possibility of riffs on such a name makes you snicker, as it did the genial Austin crowd, this is the movie for you.

Avatar DVD Released Earth Day!

On 03.17.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

The biggest movie of all time is finally headed to your living room. Twentieth Century Fox announced that it will release Avatar on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 22 — Earth Day.

If you’re planning on taking a hammer to your piggy bank and racing out to buy one of those pricey 3-D TVs, you better slow down. The home version of James Cameron’s masterpiece will only be available in 2-D.

Additionally, the $29.98 DVD and $39.99 Blu-Ray will not come packed with extras — or any extras at all — because both Cameron and the studio wanted to deliver the film in all of its ground-breaking digital glory, which, of course, takes up precious disc space. Nevertheless, Fox says that a loaded, multi-disc edition will hit stores in November.

As for Avatar’s Earth Day release date — which falls on a Thursday instead of the usual Tuesday DVD drop date — Cameron and Co. believe that the date makes sense because of the movie’s ecological themes.

The Dark Knight holds the record as the biggest opening day sales upon dvd release, it moved 3 million units in one day, but methinks it had better get ready to have it’s butt kicked!

Clijsters Out In Indian Wells!

On 03.16.10, In Sports, By The Mo

Former world number one Kim Clijsters was upset by Russian Alisa Kleybanova at Indian Wells last night, going down 6-4 1-6 7-6

Clijsters, who returned to competition in 2009 following a two-year retirement and won her second U.S. Open title in just her third tournament back, appeared to regain control after losing a tight opening set to Kleybanova.

The 26-year-old Belgian broke her opponent four times to storm through the second set and raced into a 4-0 lead in the third-set tiebreak before losing momentum.

After the 23rd-seeded Russian had clawed her way back to 4-4, Clijsters netted a backhand, struck a forehand wide and then dumped a forehand into the net to lose the match.

Looks like things are not quite where Kim would like them to be!

Jacko’s Estate Signs Mega Deal!

On 03.16.10, In Entertainment, Music, By The Mo

Sony Corp has reached a deal with Michael Jackson’s estate that could be worth as much as $250 million, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the situation.

The report said the deal, coming months after Jackson’s death, is the most lucrative recording contract ever signed. It guarantees the estate at least $200 million, according to the newspaper’s web site, and involves 10 albums over seven years.

The deal will combine a mix of previously unreleased songs and new packages of familiar ones, according to the report.

Sony has sold about 31 million of Jackson’s albums worldwide since his death on June 25, the report said. It added that the advances Sony will pay are to be offset by sales of albums as well as revenue generated by licensing Jackson’s music.

Sony’s deal with the estate retroactively covers the soundtrack album to This Is It. It also covers a number of other releases, some of which have been planned and others that still must be determined, according to the Wall Street Journal.

One album of previously unreleased songs is likely to hit stores before the end of this year, and another collection is due out later, it said.

Martin Scorsese Says Sinatra Some Way Off!

On 03.15.10, In Entertainment, By The Mo

Martin Scorsese says he’s still working on the Frank Sinatra biopic script which is proving to be quite the challenge.

The Shutter Island director says

“It’s very hard because here is a man who changed the entire image of the Italian-American. And that’s just one thing. Along with his political work, civil rights, the Mob”.

Scorsese tells ShortList.com that a straightforward biopic structure is simply incompatible. So, like his The Aviator, this film could only deal “with certain times in his life. We can’t go through the greatest hits of Sinatra’s life. We tried this already. Just can’t do it.”

So how could he do it?

“The other way to go is to have three or four different Sinatras. Younger. Older. Middle-aged. Very old. You cut back and forth in time – and you do it through the music. See what I’m saying? So that’s what we’re trying for. It’s very tricky.”

Scorsese added that he hadn’t spoken to anyone about the film in terms of casting.
