Because A Clumsy Spy is Always Good For A Laugh, Germany's Jerry Cotton Returns!
26 November 2009 10:59 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
What do you think? Could the recent success of the Get Smart remake in the Us and the Oss 117 revival in France have inspired other nations to look into their comedic pasts? Yes, I'd say that's a safe bet ...
Bumbling German spy Jerry Cotton - actually a German spoof on a supposedly American character - first appeared in 1965 and proved to be a huge hit, the character starring in a whopping eight features in just four years before being retired after 1969's Todesschüsse am Broadway. But all things old are new again and Cotton's coming back.
Brought back to life by the writing-directing duo of Cyrill Boss and Philipp Stennert Jerry Cotton hits German screens in 2010. You'll find the first teaser below.

Rumors Vs. Facts: Casting war! Anne Hathaway, Julia Stiles, Rachel McAdams, Romola Garai in SpiderMan 4?
19 November 2009 9:50 PM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Four awesome young actresses are reported/rumored to be positioning themselves for a possible role in the next Spiderman movie. The character in contention: The Black Cat.
But before we go any further, is this newsworthy? Definitely. While it maybe just a fictional character, Black Cat is quite interesting and intriguing. She's been related to Spiderman in the past and her descent into the world of crime is worth a good look. Has casting actually started? No confirmation yet from the studio, but with the names of the actresses being mentioned, fans are, indeed, getting excited.
Two of these fab actresses are known for both period and contemporary films - Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married/Becoming Jane) and Romola Garai ( Inside I'm Dancing/Atonement), while the other two - Julia Stiles and Rachel McAdams are more 'inclined' to portray modern characters, or so it seems... As of this writing, McAdams is already out of contention. »

Anne Hathaway Up for 'Spider-Man 4' Role?
18 November 2009 6:45 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
And the list of women who may or may not appear in Spider-Man 4 continues to grow. Now Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood reports through her sources (who, when it comes to Marvel, seem to be pretty reliable) that producers have "approached" Anne Hathaway regarding a starring role in Spider-Man 4. It doesn't say she's been offered the role, or that she's in negotiations to take on the role, only that she's been approached.
Finke also wasn't sure which role it would be, though all signs point to it being that of Black Cat -- who, in the past couple weeks -- has seen everyone from Julia Stiles to Rachel McAdams vying for a piece of that pus ... Spidey pie. Hathaway definitely showed off her acrobatic side in last summer's Get Smart, and certainly has enough of that hottie-yet-down-to-earth sex appeal to draw Mr. Parker into a web of problematic romantic entanglements. »

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson talks Shazam! and Captain America
18 November 2009 3:45 PM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Dwayne Johnson, the former professional wrestler known as The Rock, has long been linked to a role in the film adaptation of the DC Comics' title Shazam!
The comic is named after the magic word - an acronym of the names of six legendary figures from the ancient world - uttered by teenager Billy Batson to transform into the adult superhero Captain Marvel.
Johnson was at one point in talks with Shazam! director Peter Segal (Get Smart) about playing the villain Black Adam, who has the same powers as the hero. Patrick Warburton was the actor linked to the lead role.
Johnson told Moviefone he's still interested and 'would love to' take on the Black Adam role in the Warner Bros movie.
Speaking at the premiere of new animated movie Planet 51, he said: "We have talked about that for such a long time. I am not quite too »

First ‘Date Night Trailer Released
13 November 2009 4:10 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Those looking to get a glimpse at next year’s NBC Thursday primetime lineup-inspired hybrid film are in luck as 20th Century Fox has release the first trailer for the upcoming Steve Carell and Tina Fey romantic, action, comedy film Date Night.
This marks the first film by director Shawn Levy since his box office hits Night at the Museum and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian raked in over $1 Billion. Not only does Levy have a new film, but also a script written by the talented Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Ocean’s Thirteen) with revisions by Josh Klausner (Shrek The Third), Simon Kinberg (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) and Aline Bros McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada). (You may remember the names Simon Kinberg and Aline Brosh McKenna as they are the writing team to sell a $2 million film pitch to Paramount with J.J. Abrams.)

Date Night Trailer Is Now Online
12 November 2009 4:44 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Yes, we know we’re a little late to the party, but the first trailer for Date Night – the comedy that teams Steve Carell with Tina Fey – has gone up over at Apple. And it’s… interesting.Mainly because there aren’t as many laughs as you’d expect, particularly from that pairing, but more action than you might have thought, as Carell and Fey’s going-through-the-motions marrieds get caught up in a case of mistaken identity while out on a date night, and end up being chased through a New York night by two professional killers.So, inbetween rather rote gags about Carell’s mother and their sexless, safe, staid marriage, we get glimpses of car chases, shoot-outs and general derring-do that’s more reminiscent of Carell’s last big-screen outing, Get Smart. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the laughs are delivered in the long run.But it’s early days yet, »
First Trailer for Steve Carell and Tina Fey in ‘Date Night’
12 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Fans of comedy and episodic TV have nothing but good thoughts come to mind when they hear the names Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Both The Office and 30 Rock have dominated comedy on network TV for quite some time now, so it would only make sense that a film showcasing both of them together would be epic, no? Probably not, after seeing the trailer for their newest film, Date Night.
The film is about a bored and boring married couple who decide to spice things up by lying to a hostess at a restaurant about their reservations, thus taking another couple’s name and table. One crazy happenstance after another then occurs, and our beloved couple is now on the run from gangsters. Add to that premise the reluctant hero from Get Smart and the neurotic lead from Baby Mama and you’ve got this 90-minute comedy.

The music mogul – who judges ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and ‘The X Factor’ in the UK and ‘American Idol’ and ‘America’s Got Talent’ in the Us - has topped a list of Prime Time TV’s Top Earning Men compiled by respected financial publication Forbes magazine. Real estate mogul and ‘The Apprentice’ star Donald Trump came in second place after banking $50 million in the period June 1 2008 to June 1 2009, with ‘American Idol’ presenter Ryan Seacrest in third place with earnings of $38 million.

Making up the rest of the top five were ‘Two And A Half Men’ actor Charlie Sheen, who made $21 million and earns a reported $800,000 per episode of the sit-com, »

Date Night Trailer Starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell
11 November 2009 12:48 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The first trailer for Shawn Levy's Date Night just hit the internet today, and it seems to be getting a pretty lukewarm response across the blogosphere. Being that this is the first big screen team up of Tina Fey and Steve Carell, I would have thought there would be a little more excitement out there. Then again, I suppose based on what we're shown in the trailer, it does look rather mediocre. The concept definitely seems dated and predictable: a married couple goes out for a rare night on the town and through a case of mistaken identity ends up being chased by some hitmen. Still, there's a part of me that thinks that Carell and Fey will be able to make it something worth watching, and there are hints of that in the trailer (the "killshot" line made me snicker to myself). I just don't know about some of these full-blown action scenes. »

Shazam Writer Talks Latest Script Draft
11 November 2009 10:21 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Back in August we told you that writer/actor Bill Burch was teaming with red-hot comic book scribe Geoff Johns to work on a script for the long-delayed adaptation of DC Comics’ Shazam! Well, MTV recently checked back in with Burch to see how the script was coming along and Burch was kind enough to drop some details about the direction he and Johns are going with Shazam and what fans should and Should Not expect from the movie.
Also in discussion: the likelihood that we’ll see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson actually donning the black and gold garb of Captain Marvel’s arch nemesis, Black Adam.
A few things upfront: As of now it’s looking like Get Smart director Peter Segal is still attached to direct Shazam - Segal was linked to the project when it reportedly stalled while in development early this year. However, that D.O. »

Bill Birch and Geoff Johns "Starting Fresh" With Shazam! Adaptation
11 November 2009 1:12 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
When young Billy Batson says "Shazam," he transforms into the adult superhero Captain Marvel. The character is nearly as old — and as powerful — as DC Comics' premiere hero, Superman. Yet, he's had far less exposure than the Man of Steel. In fact, most people who recognize Captain Marvel think his name is actually the magic word he says to access his powers. This name confusion stems partially from the fact that DC Comics is forced to market Captain Marvel under the name Shazam! because Marvel Comics owns the rights to the name.
Captain Marvel has appeared in film serials, a live-action TV show, and several cartoon series. There's also long been talk of adapting the comic book into a live-action movie along the lines of Big meets Superman. New Line Cinema had been working on an adaptation but when it folded, the scripter of the intended adaptation, John August »

Live-Action ‘Jetsons’ Movie Gets ‘Smart’ New Director
2 November 2009 11:32 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
How did this news slip past us all? According to a source that the guys over at Pajiba have, Robert Rodriguez won’t be directing the long in-development live-action Jetsons movie. It was only this summer that we got word that The Jetsons was firmly on its way, with an early draft of the script having been written, and Rodriguez himself sounding enthusiastic after he said he’s been working on ideas for the adaptation for a long time.
However, Rodriguez has his fingers in a lot of pies right about now: He has his full-length Machete movie (currently in the editing stages); he’s heavily involved in the Predators reboot; apparently he has Spy Kids 4 in the works (it was only a matter of time…); and, of course, there’s the much-anticipated, long gestating Sin City 2 (which could be filming next year, last we heard). So it’s kind of understandable, »

Warner Bros. Picks Up Dirty Old Men
2 November 2009 11:07 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The good folks over at Warner Brothers have picked up a new spec comedy script by writers Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge, titled Dirty Old Men. The script centers around two old "players", one of which has finally met the love of his life, and the other, his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years, who is determined to break the relationship up at any cost. So, just another comedy script, eh? No sir! The flick so far has the ever busy and always entertaining Morgan Freeman attached to play the role of the wingman, and currently Warners are shooting for a reunion between Freeman and Jack Nicholson, his co-star of the 2007 comedy The Bucket List (which had the two playing a couple of old geezers trying to fulfill a list of their dreams before they kicked the bucket). Nicholson isn't the only one in demand though; the director »

Robert Rodriquez Moves On From The Jetsons
2 November 2009 9:17 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
Robert Rodriquez has apparently found other shiny little movie trinkets to capture his eye and has left the remake of the 60’s Sci-Fi cartoon “The Jetsons” to other interested parties. And it seems that the interested party is Peter Segal, the director of “Get Smart” and “Tommy Boy”. According to Pajiba, Peter is circling, circling. “The Jetsons” would make a pretty good movie. No word on a finished script that I’ve seen. We’ll keep you in the loop. »
