One more Hollywood lawsuit in sight?

This is related to my previous post on studios getting sued.
Now that the WGA is officially back behind their desks (it wasn’t officially until last night), NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press may be eyeballing a lawsuit against them. According to Nikki Finke, the two are bitter about the writer’s strike having forced the Golden […]

Red-band trailer for Pineapple Express

Came across the red-band trailer for Seth Rogen’s upcoming Pineapple Express. Honestly, even though it’s partly a stoner comedy, this is probably the most original thing I’ve seen in a VERY long time. I look forward to watching the movie when it comes out.

The strike is over… but some studios are still fucked

Now that the strike is (unofficially) over, Hollywood can finally move on and get to work… business as usual. Right?

Universal stuffs Joe Johnston into The Wolf Man

This is an update to the Mark Romanek leaving Wolf Man post.
Well, sadly, Universal found a director to take over The Wolf Man. Why sadly? Because he’s only got 2 weeks to prepare to shoot the movie, and because his Jurassic Park was the least impressive of the three. I guess we’ll have to wait […]

Is the WGA strike almost over?

All signs lead to yes.

Hannah Montana bitchslaps Jessica Alba

Update: Looks like I was way off on Hannah Montana. Estimates point to almost $30-fucking-million opening weekend. I was a lot closer on The Eye, which has an estimatd $13mil.

I was actually floored when I saw the Friday box office estimates. Coming completely out of nowhere, the concert movie Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both […]

I want Wesley Snipes’ lawyer!

Just got word that Wesley Snipes has been acquitted of tax evasion and conspiracy!! I have to admit I thought he’d get nailed for sure. His lawyer’s better than Johnny Cochran, even WITH the Chewbacca defense!
