A Naked 'Twilight' Actress's New Moon And 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' In Today's Twitter-Wood

5 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

When "Twilight" cast members began tweeting about subjects involving missing clothing, I definitely did not expect to log on to Twitter today and find out that Christian Serratos decided to outdo all of them, but but her new garment-less PETA ad definitely succeeded.

Dane Cook and Ice-t, meanwhile, were less focused on saving fur and more intent on playing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" this weekend, according to their posts, and at least one of them found himself in possession of some nightvision goggles. Check all of that out after the jump along with Danny Masterson's criticism for Andre Agassi, "Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich's favorite childhood toy and much more. I'm @brianwarmoth and this is the Twitter-Wood report for November 9, 2009.

Berenstain Bears Movie Announced

19 hours ago | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

I remember seeing a trailer for the live action Chipmunks movie, and after I picked my jaw up off the floor, I realized without a doubt that computer generated Smurfs were soon to follow.  Sure enough, word came not long after that such a movie was being planned and the writers of Shrek were considering the screenplay.  However, nothing prepared me for the news I read last week that a Berenstain Bears movie is now in the works. Walden Media, the production company responsible for The Chronicle of Narnia movies, has purchased the rights to the Berentstain books, and Shawn Levy, who directed Night at the Museum, will produce the project. Levy spoke with USA Today [1] last week and discussed some of his plans for the new movie.  Levy described the film as a “warm-hearted comedy about family, and a different kind of family.”  He didn’t drop any hints »

'Twilight' Actors Without Clothes, The 'New Moon' Premiere And Dog Accounts In Today's Twitter-Wood

6 November 2009 4:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

The Twitter-Wood feed started following its first canine today, as recent hacking victim and "Eclipse" actress Jodelle Ferland tweeted a pic referencing her dog "Genevieve Ferland." According to @gena_fur's Twitter account, Genevieve recently turned five, hates nail clippers and dressed as a princess last year for Halloween.

Lack of clothing was on the minds of two other "Twilight" series actors, though, as Tinsel Korey seems to have not yet found a dress for the "New Moon" premiere, and Charlie Bewley reported on his love of not wearing anything. Remarkably, I made none of this up. Check it out, along with an award Arnold Schwarzenegger recently presented to Kirk Douglas, a scandalous "Full House" photo and the reason "Iron Man 2" will show up to theaters late if it gets delayed. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 6, 2009.

The World Series, Hideki Matsui and Mariah Carey In Today's Twitter-Wood

5 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Yankees supporters were out in force last night, and a few Twitter-Wood citizens were right by the field uploading pics. Brody Stevens may have shot the most enviable of the day, apparently getting soon-to-be-mvp Hideki Matsui in the dugout before the game. Jeremy Piven caught another high-quality photo-op, though, standing with his fellow Chicagoan Brian Urlacher.

Poor John Favreau was stuck in the editing room for "Iron Man 2," though, which he noted on his account. Larry King, Eliza Dushku and other added their thoughts after Phillies finally went down. Check out all of their tweets, along with Brett Ratner's pic with Mariah Carey after wrapping her video and Andy Milonakis. They're all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 5, 2009.

Cow Films, 'V' On ABC And Sesame Street In Today's Twitter-Wood

4 November 2009 4:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Cow films appear to be the official successor to the unseen prequels tag that was trending on Twitter earlier this week. Both Jon Favreau and Steve Agee made contributions today, while John August offered some criticism of ABC's new "V" series and Brian Lynch commemorated the 40th birthday of "Sesame Street."

In the "Twilight" neighborhood of Twitter-Wood, meanwhile, Peter Facinelli discussed an accidental oversleeping incident that resulted in a late arrival on-set. David Slade responded by thanking him for not ever being late during "Eclipse." Check out all of those tweets after the jump. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 4, 2009.

Berenstain Bears Movie in Development

4 November 2009 9:29 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

When I was a kid, I owned a few of the Berenstain Bears books, and I seem to recall watching a couple of animated holiday specials as well. I guess it's not surprising that the Bears are still a fixture of children's literature today, although they've added some pretty strange titles in the years since I read them (The Berenstain Bears And the Drug Free Zone, The Berenstain Bears No Guns Allowed... Wtf?). Anyway, the point is, they've been around for almost 50 years and they're a pretty well-recognized brand at this point, so it's about time they made a movie... right? This week USA Today [1] revealed that Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) will produce a hybrid live action/CG feature film based on The Berenstain Bears for Walden Media. He describes it as a family comedy with the same tone as Will Ferrell's Elf: "witty but never »

Unseen Prequels, More Pixar Costumes And M.I.A. In Today's Twitter-Wood

3 November 2009 3:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Simon Pegg came a little late to the "Unseen Prequels" meme that's been bouncing around Twitter this week, but I stuck his "Star Wars" proposal along with Jon Favreau's submission up at the top of the list today just the same.

Also discovering a trend late today appears to be "Twilight" actor Peter Facinelli, who's been exploring new Bluetooth headset technology. He and his "Eclipse" director David Slade show up in the Twitter-Wood report today, as does Facinelli's co-star Alex Meraz. Check out their posts after the jump, along with some more Pixar costumes from Lee Unkrich, and an M.I.A. performance caught by Nicky Hilton during the Jimmy Choo shoe debut for H&M. It all happened in Twitter-Wood, and it's in the report for November 3, 2009.

This is Happening: A Berenstain Bears Movie

3 November 2009 11:35 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Shawn Levy, director of the Night at the Museum franchise, is embarking on something akin to making a movie out of a board game -- which is dumb (we're looking at you, Ridley Scott) -- he's producing a movie based on the popular series of children's books known as The Berenstain Bears. As you may note, The Berenstain Bears follows the story of Papa Bear, the woodworker father; Mama Bear, his homemaker wife; and their three children: Brother Bear, Sister Bear, and Honey Bear. Their stories are set in Bear Country, a society composed entirely of bears. Their story lines typically follow the Bear family as they deal with topics relevant to both children and parents. They appears in a 1985 TV series of the same name, as well as another series that ran on PBS in 2003-2004. Personally, I was not aware that The Berenstain Bears was such a lucrative property. I »

Shawn Levy to Produce Berenstain Bears Feature

2 November 2009 6:45 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

USA Today is reporting that Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy will produce a feature film based on The Berenstain Bears books.

The comedy will be a mix of live-action and computer animation.

Walden Media has acquired the film rights to the popular books written by Jan and the late Stan Berenstain.

"I'd like the film to be un-ironic about its family connections but have a wry comedic sensibility that isn't oblivious to the fact that they're bears," Levy said. "The comedy comes from this bear family coexisting in a more recognizably real world."

Levy compared his vision of the film to the tone of Will Ferrell's Elf, which had a sweet, earnest hero who clashed with his cynical surroundings. "I think the movie will be witty but never sarcastic," he says.

The film is being fast-tracked to begin production late next year, to be in theaters late »

'Eclipse' Reveals, Eli Roth's Advice And 'Hot Fuzz' Slash Fiction In Today's Twitter-Wood

19 October 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Lucky you, Movies Blog readers! Not only do you get a second helping of Twitter-Wood reportage today; I also come bearing the answer your last-minute Halloween costume plans if you've been pondering how to pull the perfect outfit together from Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds." Eli Roth tweeted a helpful diagram for anyone looking to replicate his Sgt. Donny Donowitz look, which helped earn his character his racy nickname "The Bear Jew."

In other sanitized-for-the-sake-of-this-column tweeting, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost collaborated on a slash fiction parody of their movie "Hot Fuzz," today, which apparently gained a lot of followers for Wright. Check out the barely family friendly ones after the jump, along with the "Eclipse" reveal planned for the "Twilight" Twitter account, Aziz Ansari's amusement park adventures and Jason Reitman's breakfast with the Chemical Brothers. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for October 19, 2009.

Everything Must Go for Will Ferrell

16 October 2009 7:47 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »

Another screenplay listed on the 2008 Black List is headed into production. Will Ferrell will topline Everything Must Go, the Dan Rush-penned comedy about a man who, after being kicked from his family home by his wife and finding all of his worldly possessions on the front lawn, starts to sell of everything he owns. Rush will also get to direct the modestly budgeted $10 million dollar production.

"Will is one of the best at making an audience sympathize with a character's ordeal, and the blending and comedy in this script will show a side of him that we haven't really seen before," said Marty Bowen, one of the producers.

Based on a Raymond Carver short story, Everything Must Go could be an opportunity for Ferrell to reprove himself in the eyes of Hollywood. Land of the Lost cost a lot of money to make but proved to be an underperformer »

Lindsay Lohan Drama, 'Predators' And Fred Durst Scares Fred Durst In Today's Twitter-Wood

13 October 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Sometimes when director and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst stares into the Internet, the Internet stares back, and when you see what he saw, I think you'll understand why I selected this image as the Twitter Pic of the Day. Plus, if you're still contemplating Halloween costumes for this year, there's some golden inspiration awaiting you.

Twitter-Wood saw some drama in addition to the horror today, though, as Lindsay Lohan vented frustrations about communicating with Samantha Ronson. Those tweets are posted below along with Robert Rodriguez's first-day appraisal of "Predators" filming, David Slade's expectations for "Eclipse" today and Jon Favreau's in-house reenactment of "Couples Retreat." All of that and more lurks below in the Twitter-Wood report for October 13, 2009.

You can keep following or trash all of your bootleg and unofficial "Twilight" Twitter updates now, because they've officially jumped into Twitter-Wood over at @Twilight. In addition to their look at the "New Moon" sound mixing stage, director David Slade posted an update on "Eclipse" filming, which had actor Xavier Samuel on set.

Also in the completely official MTV Movies Blog Twitter-Wood report today, I've got a pick from Selena Gomez of a snack I've never thought of putting together myself, but which you may want to check with her for pointers on if you've ever pondered how to apply maple syrup to a corn dog.

Elizabeth Taylor's Heart Surgery, Brett Favre And 'A Serious Man' In Today's Twitter-Wood

6 October 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Elizabeth Taylor actually broke some news about herself on Twitter this afternoon, as it appears the Hollywood legend and Twitter-Wood citizen is having an operation performed on her heart. Rose McGowan was among the first to send good vibes out to her, and I definitely echo those sentiments, as her performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" is among my all-time favorites.

In less dangerous news, Kim Kardashian added her name to Twitter-Wood's list of Halloween costume commitments for the year, announcing that she'll be going to at least one event as Jasmine from "Aladdin." Check out all the details, along with Shaq's take on Brett Favre, Richard Kelly's plea for help understanding "A Serious Man" and Peter Facinelli's behind-the-scenes shot from "Nurse Jackie." They're all in the Twitter-Wood report for October 6, 2009.

An epic week of "Twilight" TwitPics continues, this time with Peter Facinelli offering an actor's eye view of his favorite "Eclipse" makeup artist. Rachelle Lefevre also unleashed a few shots of her and her dog, who may not be an artist, but definitely looks soft.

Other Twitter revelations today include Fred Durst's affinity for a Boba Fett statue that he refuses to part with no matter where he moves, as well as Lloyd Kaufman's rundown of Troma films that studios have offered to remake. Read on, and you'll find out about all of that, as well as where to find the "Toy Story 3" trailer and how big of a drinking glass Jerry Lewis can stuff into his mouth.
