Exclusive: The shocking story behind last night's killer 'Vampire Diaries'
29 October 2009 8:40 PM, PDT | EW - Ausiello Files | See recent EW.com - The Ausiello Files news »
Spoiler Alert: You know the drill. If last night's Vampire Diaries is still taking up space in your FauxVo, stop reading now. Everyone else, onward and downward... This sucks. My favorite Vampire Diaries character, nascent fang-bearer Vicki, bit the dust thanks to a stake-weilding Stefan in last night's bloody good Halloween-themed episode. Or did she... In this exclusive interview, Vicki's portrayer, Kayla Ewell, reveals shocking details surrounding her on-screen death, including the identity of the original killer (it wasn't supposed to be Stefan!) and how a clue in last night's eppy may foreshadow her return. Is Vicki really dead this time? »

Yves St. Laurent Tops Dead Celebrity Money List
28 October 2009 2:54 PM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
The late fashion designer Yves St. Laurent has jumped to the top of Forbes magazine's "Top-Earning Dead Celebrities" list thanks to a one-time estate sale last February that netted $443 million. With a total of around $90 million, Michael Jackson came in at No. 3 on the list, mostly as a result of the $60 million advance that Sony Films paid to his estate and concert promoter Aeg for the rights to his concert rehearsal footage for the This Is It! movie. Still the figure paled in comparison with the $225 million that the legendary Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein earned last year. Coming in fourth was Elvis Presley, with $55 million. Lord of the Rings writer J.R.R. Tolkien rounded out the top five with $50 million. Forbes noted that several "mainstays" on its dead celebrities list fell off this year, including Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Steve McQueen. "These icons couldn't keep up with their peers," it noted. »

Halloween is just around the corner and so is DreamWorks animated special Monsters Vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, which will air on NBC Wednesday, October 28 (8-8:30 p.m. Et). Based on the smash hit Monsters Vs. Aliens and once again starring the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogen, Kiefer Sutherland, Will Arnet and Rainn Wilson, Susan Murphy, a.k.a. Ginormica (Reese Witherspoon) and the Monsters are now working with the U.S. government as special ops. So when an alien presence is detected in Susan's hometown of Modesto, California, right before Halloween, the team is dispatched to investigate.
Everything appears normal, right down to the jack-o-lanterns peering out from every doorstep and windowsill. But when Halloween arrives, those innocent-looking carved pumpkins reveal themselves for what they really are: Mutant aliens! »

So the opening scene establishes that the Drapers are religiously unobservant, attending church only on Christmas (not even Easter, since Betty dresses like an Easter egg all year round), which is perhaps for the best, since daughter Sally seems to have all the fixings of a fanatic vessel of wrath. If she believed she was an instrument of God’s will, neighboring towns might go up in flames while she stood by, blankly fulfilled, yet plotting further harm. Don is looking awfully tired tonight, the two-timing dog. “I don’t know if you’re hungry, but I made date-nut bread,” says Sally’s teacher (greeting Don for one of his drop-in dick-ins), one of those lines of dialogue that just clunks off the curb, like Ali McGraw’s explanation for why she was late picking up Steve McQueen after his prison release in The Getaway--”I was at the »

Brody, Grace to Join 'Predators'
7 October 2009 12:30 AM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Robert Rodriguez’s Predators has added two new cast members. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision Blog, Adrien Brody and Topher Grace have signed on to star in Fox’s reboot of the sci-fi/action franchise.
Brody will play a man who ends up leading a group of elite warriors from Earth, all of whom have been kidnapped by the Predators, a race of alien hunters armed with high-tech weaponry. In an early draft of the screenplay written by Rodriguez, Alex Litvak and Michael Finch, the character is named Royce, and is described as "a Steve McQueen type." After being ejected from the Predators' spaceship, he finds himself in a jungle environment playing the universe’s most dangerous game.
Meanwhile, Grace appears to be in line to play Edwin, an accountant-type whose unassuming manner hides one of the FBI’s most wanted serial killers. The rest of »
The Zombie and The Blob

So a zombie and a blob walk into a bar... Ok, I'm kidding. As Rob Zombie prepares to remake the Steve McQueen classic The Blob, the people at Bloody-Disgusting recently caught up with him on the red carpet at the Chiller Eyegore Awards, where he had this to say:
“I’m about halfway [done]." Zombie also indicated that he's not sure what the Blob should look like: “I’m still working on it, so I cant really say… I was thinking, you know, it wasn’t going to be a big red globby thing. I don’t know what it Is going to be, it’s more like I know what I Don’T want it to be.” Apparently, it would be too easy to make the Blob look like... well, a blob. For the 98% of the people who couldn't tell what was going on in H2 because the cinematography was so dark, »

Danny Trejo recently announced that after "Machete" he will be re-teaming with Robert Rodriguez for "Predators," in which he will play the character Cuchillo, a Mexican enforcer from a drug cartel who has twin uzi strapped to his back. There are a total of eight main characters in the film who will be fighting to survive the Predators' planet while being hunted by the creatures. At one point, they will run into an American man who has was kidnapped by the Predators years ago and has since been hiding to stay alive. Some assume that Rodriguez is leaving this role open for Arnold Schwarzenegger. In addition to Trejo and possibly Schwarzenegger, who previously mentioned that he would consider appearing in the film, the cast also includes Walton Goggins (pictured), the star of the FX series "The Shield." At this point, it is not clear which role he has been cast for, »
Details Leak from Script to Robert Rodriguez’s Predators. Film to Feature Predator Dogs and Birds?
29 September 2009 12:17 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
News arrived over the weekend that Machete himself, Danny Trejo, had joined the cast of Predators, the sci-fi revamp that Robert Rodriguez has been given creative carte blanche to make in hopes of a blockbuster. Well, our pals at Latino Review have read the script by Michael Finch, Alex Litvak, and Rr and they declare it, "a 90-page kick-ass sci-fi movie worthy of the original. The script isn't some lame PG-13 follow-up. It's a bloody, violent hard-r script." The script features a multi-culti, motley crew of criminals, "Predator hunting dogs," and "Predator falcons," the latter two of which remind me of the Avatar trailer. Spoilerish details to follow... The main character in the film is a man named Royce, whom Lr compare to Steve McQueen in terms of his steely demeanor and tough guy heroics. Royce is abducted by the Predators---they apparently admire a human kill he committed---and is »

Research Shows Vampires Never Die
28 September 2009 6:45 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
You've seen it pointed out by every writer from here to the New York Times: We're in the middle of a vampire craze! Why? Why now? What does it mean? When will it end? Mix in the cries of love and hate for the Edward Cullens, Eric Northmans, and Bill Comptons and you have a deafening discussion centered on the creatures of the night.
But Christopher Beam and Chris Wilson over at Slate have done some historical digging, and come to a surprising discovery: We've never not been in the middle of a vampire craze. Christopher Lee created one, and when the popularity of the vampire began to wane, Anne Rice stepped in. When readers tired of Lestat, in walked Joss Whedon with Buffy, and so on. There's only been a few gaps that Slate terms "The Garlic Years" when vampires were "back in the coffin," perhaps most notably between »

First Look At ‘Predators’ Script
28 September 2009 5:12 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Our friends over at Latino Review were able to read through a draft of the Predators script. In short, they say it’s “awesome!”
I’m so pumped over this news that I can’t think of anything quirky, snarky or anything ending with a “y” to say. So, let’s just get on to the script.
minor spoilers below
We meet our main protagonist, Royce, who’s described as “a Steve McQueen type” chasing a man onto a rooftop. An altercation ensues and Royce ends up killing the individual. All the while, Royce is being observed by a nearby Predator who, after watching Royce kill his opposition, captures him and returns to the Predator home world.
As Royce lands in the jungle that is the Predators’ home world, he soon meets seven other humans, from around the world, who have all been similarly captured.

What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #10

Two Paul Newman titles from the recently released Paul Newman Tribute Collection (pictured right) I mentioned on Tuesday, a look at a film I watched in preparation for one of last week's screenings and a reminder of a Blu-ray I recently reviewed make up this week's list. On top of everything below, on Saturday I went to a screening of the Toy Story and Toy Story 2 3-D double feature, which ended up being a lot of fun as I am pretty sure it was the first time I actually saw Toy Story 2 on the bigscreen. The 3-D is quite good and the opening moments of Toy Story 2 lend themselves so well to the format it's almost surprising it wasn't originally intended to be released in 3-D. Of course, as with all quality films, the 3-D does nothing for the story. These films were never considered classics for »

Spielberg News: Lincoln Still On Deck, Downey Jr. To Star In Harvey?
15 September 2009 9:29 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Today we have some news on two upcoming Steven Spielberg projects: his Abraham Lincoln biopic, and his adaptation of the Mary Chase award-winning play, Harvey, which is also a remake of the 1950 James Stewart classic.
Lincoln
Spielberg has been attached to a biopic about Lincoln for a few years now, with Liam Neeson also attached to star as the former President. The project was recently postponed because of budget and location restraints, but Spielberg still has it very much in mind. He recently spoke to Variety in wake of the news that Robert Redford would be directing a competing film, called The Conspirator (about one of the conspirators of Lincoln’s assassination), assuring us that the competition won’t deter him from making His biopic. Spielberg had this to say:
“We are very happy that Redford will be doing this Lincoln movie. It is completely different from what our DreamWorks Lincoln movie will be, »

Bootlegged Trailer for Stallone's 'Expendables'
14 September 2009 3:32 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
I guess the good news for a lot of people is that there's finally a trailer for The Expendables, the Sly Stallone ensemble action picture that will combine the star-driven impulses of The Great Escape with guys not nearly as cool as Steve McQueen.
The bad news is, the trailer's a bootleg, and not a particularly good one at that. But we shouldn't have to wait too long to get the full thing in a much better format, and really, you can make out what you need to make out. Kind of.
The movie co-stars Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, and Brittany Murphy, and features cameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But the real stars here appear to be explosions and yelling. Good n' plenty: »

Pixar’s John Lasseter was recently on hand at the Disney Animation Showcase in London, where he showed some footage and spilled some beans about the plots of the upcoming Pixar sequels, Toy Story 3 and Cars 2.
I can tell you upfront that the story revealed for Toy Story 3 pretty much confirms early rumors, while the plot of Cars 2 will be less down-home Southern-fried yarn, and more James Bond.
Pixar fans, if you’ve been waiting to know what’s in store for the next installments of two of your favorite franchises, keep reading.
According to the footage shown, the next Toy Story film will take us ahead to the future where the little boy Andy is now teenage Andy headed off to college, while our favorite toys are headed for a storage unit. When Andy can’t part with his childhood pal Woody (Tom Hanks »

Scenes We Love: 'Bullitt' (Yes, the Car Chase)
11 September 2009 1:03 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Bullitt, released 41 years ago next month, is a fairly ordinary crime drama about an unorthodox cop unraveling a conspiracy that led to the murder of a witness. What it's famous for is a 10-minute sequence in which the cop, played by Steve McQueen, is followed by -- and then chases, at terrifying speeds -- the two men responsible for the murder. Nearly every movie car chase since then has been compared to the one in Bullitt, and rightfully so. Watch it, after the jump, and behold its tire-squealing awesomeness.
Consider also how different it is from chases scenes in modern movies. The average shot length for this 9 1/2-minute segment is 3.7 seconds, with many shots lasting four or five times that long. I don't think any car chase in a Hollywood film made in the last 20 years has done that -- quick-cutting is the norm now. And while that frenetic style »
