Miramax Takes on "Adult Children of Divorce"

var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(420,285,199889,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()

Marriage is risky business. When you sign up for it, you’re automatically signing up for a broken heart, whether you and your partner face illness, death or, yes, divorce.
Miramax has picked up a film called “A.C.O.D. (Adult Children of Divorce),” a comedy that looks at the lives of children […]

Kim Cattrall to star in "Miss January"

Variety is reporting that Kim Cattrall is set to star in in Keith Bearden’s feature debut “Miss January.”
It’s great seeing her move beyond her role as Samantha Jones in “Sex and the City.” It seems like after the TV series ended, she kind of disappeared a bit, popping up in small films like Walt […]

"Sleeper" Gets a Writer

“Sleeper” has landed a new writer, Brad Inglesby. The DC Comics/Wildstorm graphic novel was picked up for adaptation by Warner Bros. in August. It’s scheduled for a 2011 release.
The Hollywood Reporter describes it as a “high-tech noir series published from 2003-05 that puts superheroes in a stylish, hard-boiled crime saga not unlike […]

"Lethal Weapon 5" - Dead in the Water?

You know, I’ve never been all that keen on another “Lethal Weapon” movie. I was on-board through “Lethal Weapon 3,” because that’s when they brought in Rene Russo as Lorna Cole. One of my favorite scenes of all time is when she and Mel Gibson are comparing wounds and then end up rolling on […]

Gordon Gekko Making a Comeback

It looks like Gordon Gekko might be making a comeback. Is greed still good? I guess we’ll find out.
The “Wall Street” sequel, called “Money Never Sleeps,” is being written by Allan Loeb, who wrote “21″ and created the Fox TV series “New Amsterdam,” which I’m still miffed about being canceled.
Michael Douglas, who […]

"Tom Thumb" Heads to Theaters

This is fun: Kevin Lima, who directed last year’s crowd-favorite Enchanted, is directing a big-screen version of Tom Thumb, titled simply “Thumb.” That’s him in the picture, with Amy Adams on the set of “Enchanted.”
It’ll primarily be a live-action movie, though Thumb may be depicted as a CG character. The movie will […]

"The Tempest" Gathers Cast

The big-screen version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest continues to gather cast members. I don’t know about you, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen a great Shakespearean film, and this one, written and directed by Julie Taymor, sounds pretty good.
Taymor has helmed Across the Universe, Frida, and Titus, and also helped […]

"Dracula" Flying Into Theaters

Looks like vampires will continue to rule the theaters for quite a while. Though maybe not as lovey-dovey as the upcoming Twilight.
ShockTillYouDrop.com is reporting that Dracula is coming to theaters, probably in June 2009.
Here’s the scoop: Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker and “Dracula” documentarian/historian Ian Holt have sold the North American-English publishing […]

"Twilight" Frenzy Continues

Twilight will definitely be the killer movie of the year, and I mean that in the best possible way. I haven’t seen this much anticipation for a movie since…well, I can’t remember when. Definitely right up there with Harry Potter.
The movie follows a tragic high school romance between Bella (Kristen Stewart), […]

Yogi and Boo Boo Go to Hollywood

Hey, Boo Boo! Yogi Bear and his sidekick Boo-Boo are headed to the big screen! How cool is that?!
The Warner Bros. film will be a mix of live action and CG, with Yogi and his buddy being the latter. Sounds like it’ll be similar to 2007’s Alvin & the Chipmunks. I’m betting […]
