London Facing More Financial Woes

15 October 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actor Jeremy London is facing foreclosure on his Los Angeles home - just weeks after he was hit with a lawsuit over unpaid credit card bills.

The Mallrats star has been targeted by mortgage lender Countrywide, who claim London defaulted on his home loan and owes $12,856 (£8,570) in payments.

If the star fails to repay the missed installments, his home could be foreclosed, according to the lawsuit filed at Los Angeles Superior Court in September.

London is also being chased by officials at American Express, who allege the 36 year old racked up $19,485 (£12,990) in charges he never paid off.

Countrywide will put the home up for auction on 21 October if its demands are not met, according to TMZ.com. »

Real or Fake: Nicolas Cage's Superman Costume?

22 September 2009 12:11 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

Back in the late '90s, Warner Bros. was working on another Superman movie that was to be directed by Tim Burton off a script written by none other than Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats). To make things that much stranger, their Man of Steel at the time was a long-haired Nicolas Cage, and the film – titled Superman Lives -- revolved around the 1992 Death of Superman comic storyline in which Superman battled the villainous Doomsday till each of them perished.   At the time, the film was so far along that various screen tests had been conducted and it had been given a release date of July 4th 1998. However, a ballooning budget – coupled with the box office failure of Batman & Robin – forced the studio to scrap the entire thing. Eight years later, the story was...

'Shootin' The S--t With Kevin Smith': An Exclusive Excerpt

21 September 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Kevin Smith is a funny guy. He'd probably use a more... "colorful" word than "guy," one starting with 'mother' and ending with a term I won't repeat here (it starts with 'f'), but that's all part of his charm. He's a talented filmmaker to be sure -- just look at modern classics like "Clerks" and "Dogma" -- but he's also a fantastically well-spoken and engaging individual.

That's why you should be excited about Titan Books' "Shootin' the S--t With Kevin Smith: The Best of SModcast," which hits store shelves on September 22. As in tomorrow. It's filled transcribed conversations between Smith and his View Askew partner and longtime collaborator Scott Mosier. Hit the jump for a brief excerpt of the hilarity. And stay tuned for MTV.com next week, as Smith will be here in the office to answer some questions!

New Twitter Avatars, Warwick Davis And A Busy Day For 'Eclipse' In Today's Twitter-Wood

18 September 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Warwick Davis has only gotten cooler in my eyes since I started following his Twitter account. The "Harry Potter" and "Willow" star apparently set up a laser tag match this week with John Williams' "Star Wars" score playing in the background, which sounds like quite the celebration of sci-fi geekdom.

It was also a relief this morning to read that I wasn't the only one seeing little bird-shaped, multicolor avatars everywhere when I logged in to Twitter. Diablo Cody and Richard Kelly experienced the same thing with reactions similar to my own. If you know what I'm talking about, or want to find out, click on down below and read their posts, along with Peter Facinelli's exhausting end-of-day tweet from the "Eclipse" set and a Selena Gomez Alma Award pic for all you "Wizard of Waverly Place" fans. They're in the Twitter-Wood report for September 18, 2009.

Kevin Smith's Wrap-Up, Emmy Rossum Videos And A Birthday Cake In Today's Twitter-Wood

8 September 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Kevin Smith completed his Twitter marathon today, and there were fellow Twitter-Wood feed faces like Richard Kelly and Brian Posehn there to meet him at the finish line. The Twitter-Wood report likewise congratulates him on his 24-hour Q&A session and wishes him sweet dreams while he re-adjusts to a normal sleep cycle again.

Emmy Rossum seems to be the new "Full House" star Twitter-Wood reports over the last week. You can probably chalk that up to my affinity for Counting Crows. I slipped in two more tweets on her performance with them in Central Park today -- this time with video links. Honestly, I could have made a complete report just between her and Kevin Smith today, but I did throw in Shannon Elizabeth's birthday pic, a Hollywood confession and a Twitter Pic of the Day featuring human size extremes. Enjoy!

8 September 2009 4:56 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Editor's note: Mr. Warmoth wrote this up yesterday, but tech issues prevented me from running it. So please enjoy this post-Labor Day Twitter-Wood morning edition.

Happy Labor Day, everyone. Posts in the Twitter-Wood feed certainly didn't rest for the holiday -- particularly those of Kevin Smith, who is currently engaged in a 24-hour tweet-a-thon of questions and answers with his followers. I've included a few highlights but highly recommend throwing your own queries at him before he logs off.

In other news, the feed found a new feed this weekend! We proudly welcome the yet-to-become-Verfied account of Danny DeVito, whose profile pic alone has earned him a top slot on the list and Twitter Pic of the Day laurels. You can check it out in the link below alongside Smith's answers and Labor Day activities involving Peter Facinelli, Russell Brand and Neil Gaiman. I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is a special »

Kevin Smith Will Spend Labor Day With A 24-Hour Twitter Q&A

4 September 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Monday being Labor Day, many of us hard-working folk plan to spend the day off by liberally applying suntan lotion to our backsides and resting beneath the sun. But Kevin Smith won't stand for that -- no, he has a devious plot to keep us inside all day long.

According to a press release, Smith is promising to conduct a 24-hour online Q&A via Twitter beginning on Labor Day morning. The filmmaker, currently working on the to-be-renamed "A Couple of Dicks," will hold the "Tweet-a-Thon" in part to promote "Shootin' the Sh-- with Kevin Smith," his upcoming book.

"This is not news at all," Smith said of the impending all-day Q&A. "In fact, it's kinda stupid. But I wanna see if I can do it. I've been training for this my whole life, simply by being a lazy fat-ass who'd rather stare at a screen than better himself with a brisk constitutional. »

Kevin Smith's 24-hour Twitter binge starts Monday

4 September 2009 8:44 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Filmmaker (and occasional PopWatch guest editor) Kevin Smith is holding a 24-hour marathon Twitter Q&A fest on Monday, where he'll field questions from his followers for a solid day. Follow him at @ThatKevinSmith, and consider yourself warned about the graphic language and adult situations. Yes, the tweetathon is to publicize his new book Shootin' the Sh*t with Kevin Smith, but given how freewheeling and awesome his live Q&As are, this isn't exactly a talking-points kinda promo event. I'll admit to being a total Smith devotee -- I think I watched Mallrats on a continuous loop for basically all of ninth grade -- but for the unconvinced among you, I say: Put on your headphones and watch this clip from An Evening with Kevin Smith where he talks about trying to write a Superman movie. Smith's a staggeringly natural storyteller, and while I'm partial to the longer format, »

Brett Ratner may not be making that "Guitar Hero" movie that he's dreamed about, but he is getting the chance to help launch the new game with a commercial. And he's excited -- like tweeting about it excited.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, those wildfires are still burning, and the faces of the Twitter-Wood feed are still watching the smoke fly. Richard Kelly and Rose McGowan caught a glimpse of the flames, while Kevin Smith linked to what the little actress from "Jersey Girl" is up to these days, and Miranda Cosgrove locked herself out of her home. Find out what happened and see the proudest display of nerd-pride on the Internet today in the Twitter-Wood report for September 1, 2009.

Disney Buys Marvel, DJ Am Remembered And A 'Twilight' Actor Eats A Horse In Today's Twitter-Wood

31 August 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Disney surprised a lot of tweeters this morning when the company announced its acquisition of Spider-Man and X-Men publishers Marvel Entertainment. Kevin Smith, Jeff Katz, Dax Shepard, and many others chimed in with thoughts on the purchase.

Elsewhere, the tweets are still trickling in from those remembering DJ Am, including renowned Vegas party-goer Paris Hilton. The list of tweets today was actually fairly thick to sort through, with all of these reactions, a photograph of a "Twilight" star biting into a horse and Bob Saget's response to a fan's request for him to tell the "Aristocrats" joke on Twitter. It's all below in the Twitter-Wood Report for August 31, 2009.

'Eclipse' Update From David Slade And Kevin Smith On 'Degrassi Goes Hollywood' In Today's Twitter-Wood

25 August 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

David Slade may be experiencing some frustrations on the set of "Eclipse" right now, but none of them are coming from his lead cast members, according to his tweets today. The director spoke highly of "Twilight" lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, but had less complimentary things to say about airplane noise overhead.

Director Kevin Smith, meanwhile, offered up some self-deprecating commentary on his appearance in the new full-length "Degrassi" movie, "Degrassi Goes Hollywood," where he returned to hob-nob with his favorite Canadian teen-stars. And speaking of teen-stars, I've got a shot of Frankie Muniz's recent hand injury in the Twitter Pic of the Day. Have a look at that along with other pics from Rachelle Lefevre and Neil Gaiman. Those and more lurk below in the the Twitter-Wood report for August 25, 2009.

If You Were Here: Ten Filmmakers Who May or May Not Be John Hughes' Rightful Heir

10 August 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | Boombox Serenade | See recent Boombox Serenade news »

John Hughes wrote his own movies, created a dozen iconic film-music moments, and gave us a funny yet soulful depictions of teenagers complete with multifacted female protagonists. Is there anyone making films today who can carry this torch? The famously lucrative teen market means there's no shortage of comers. Let's review... Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy) In the 90's Kevin Smith gave us a totally new take on the teenage wasteland and took on the complicated sexual politics of the day with nerdy verve.

Kevin Smith's Birthday Plans And A 'Harry Potter' Actor's First Tweets In Today's Twitter-Wood

31 July 2009 3:08 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Considering the amount of hockey tweeting Kevin Smith has been doing lately, it should come as little surprise that he's setting up a match for his 39th birthday on Sunday. It sounds like he'll need to get some extra rest hours in on Saturday, though, because his new film "A Couple of Dicks" is pulling some a late shoot tonight, according to Kevin Pollak.

Other gems in today's rundown include Tom Felton's warm welcome to one of his Hogwarts professors, as well as a blast from the past for "Full House" fans via John Stamos, who uploaded a photo taken during a BBQ at Bob Saget's place. You can check out all of these and find out which "Twilight" actress recently got a tattoo in the Twitter-Wood report for July 31, 2009.

'Eclipse' Storyboarding And A Vague 'Deathly Hallows' Set Report In Today's Twitter-Wood

22 July 2009 6:30 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Editor's note: A tech Snafu left Twitter-Wood unpublished last night, so you all get Two helpings today.

Emmy Rossum tweeted a pic from her seat at the Blink-182 concert last night in Los Angeles, which seems to have worn out her eardrums judging by her morning-after posts. The show was a popular topic for her and other celebs, like "The Hills" star Lauren Conrad who also managed to get in.

Elsewhere in the Twitter-Wood feed, folks are still talking about the moon landing anniversary. Kevin Nealon pondered the topic with some thoughtful space-travel insight. As for everyone else, the topic of the week is San Diego Comic-Con, starting tomorrow, which Richard Kelly is preparing for and Lloyd Kaufman will be roasted at without James Gunn in attendance. Check out details on all of these developments, as well as production updates on "Eclipse" from David Slade and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" from Tom Felton. »

'Clerks' and 'Chasing Amy' Head to Blu-ray

17 July 2009 9:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

In the View Askew world, we've already got Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Clerks 2, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back on Blu-ray. Now, finally, Kevin Smith has revealed that his two big classics are getting their turn. Over on Twitter, Smith announced that both Clerks and Chasing Amy are getting the high-def treatment this November.

Two films loved for their gritty visual feel, it's not surprising that it took this long for the pair to be released. But now that they are, the Blu-rays won't be without added perks. Each will have one hefty feature to lure fans to the Blu-Askew. Chasing Amy will contain a "look-back docu," while Clerks, which will be the same as Clerks X, will get Oh, What a Lovely Tea Party. That is, unless it's too big for a disc yet again!

Tea Party is Jennifer Schwalbach Smith's directorial debut, »

Meanwhile, Kevin Smith took a somewhat less glamorous trip to the dentist. Luckily, the nitrous oxide wasn’t powerful enough to stop his Twitter updates. His “Mallrats” co-star Ethan Suplee one-upped him and tweeted a shot from his family vacation to Paris — “National Lampoon’s European Vacation” fans should appreciate his attire.

6 July 2009 9:56 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

The “Venom” news has been a little slow as of late, but the previously announced screenwriters are nonetheless hard at work on the super-villain spin-off. In fact, they’ve already begun working on the script and have even worked in a very specific cameo.

In speaking with Superhero Hype, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese revealed that the iconic Marvel creator Stan Lee will have a cameo appearance in “Venom,” and that his role is a very particular one.

“Oh, yeah. Stan Lee is in it,” Reese revealed. “I feel like that’s the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we’re very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let’s hope he’s in many movies to come.”

Lee co-created a vast portion of Marvel’s most famous characters including the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. As a result, »
