Wahlberg Says 'Entourage' Movie Will Cap Series
4 hours ago | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
At the New York premiere of Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones", actor Mark Wahlberg told Showbiz 411 that there are two seasons left of HBO's hit series "Entourage". He said there could be more, but then there will be a movie. Looks like the executive producer plans on taking the same route as "Sex in the City" which also started out as a popular original series on HBO and has now become a world-wide box office success after a motion picture was released a few years back. Currently, there's a sequel in the works. Meanwhile, Wahlberg is shooting the comedy "The Other Guys" with comedian Will Ferrell. “I don’t really get to do comedy,” Mark said. “We waited for just the right thing. It’s a buddy movie.”

Pj talks Tintin
5 hours ago | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Peter Jackson's been talking recently about the Tintin films, his and Steven Spielberg's adaptations of the internationally huge graphic novels. Apparently, the Kiwi auteur still doesn't know what the basis of his own Tinitn 2 will even be. In an interview with French publication La Monde, Peter Jackson states that while he's leaning towards adapting "The Seven Crystal Balls"/"Prisoners of the Sun" two-part South American-based story, "the choice is not final.

'The Lord Of The Rings' Returns To Radio City Music Hall With 'The Two Towers'
11 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
As you probably remember, Radio City Music Hall hosted a cool "Lord of the Rings"-related event in October. The 21st Century Symphony Orchestra, The Collegiate Chorale and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus collaborated in performing the score to "The Fellowship of the Ring" (conducted by Ludwig Wicki) while the movie played on a giant screen behind them.
Well now we've got word that Wicki and the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra will be back to do the show again, only next time it'll be for "The Two Towers," the second film in Peter Jackson's trilogy. Tickets are currently available through a Ticketmaster pre-sale, the code for which you can find on the concert's official website. There's a catch though: we've got a long wait ahead of us. The "Towers" shows will happen next year, on October 8 and 9, 2010. So don't go getting too excited just yet.

Vin Diesel Claims A New Riddick Is Happening In New Zealand
16 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
To date, Vin Diesel.s plan for the mostly deceased Riddick franchise has been to talk about it as if a sequel will happen any minute, even though no such sequel exists. Or does it? Either he.s taken his Riddick delusions to new heights or a new Chronicles of Riddick really is going down since today he posted this update on his Facebook page: The Riddick team is in New Zealand location scouting already... that's exciting. Couple of possibilities here. Maybe .The Riddick Team. is actually the name of some sort of circus stunt team Vin Diesel has recently joined and they.re planning to fly to New Zealand and jump over a bunch of sheep. Or maybe Vin has somehow confused .Riddick. with .Hobbit. and he.s actually talking about Peter Jackson.s new Middle Earth movie. Or maybe someone is actually funding a new Chronicles of Riddick »
Peter Jackson on The Lovely Bones and Tintin
17 hours ago | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
There are traces of Peter Jackson’s camp-horror roots in his latest film, an adaptation of Alice Sebold’s novel The Lovely Bones. They’re in his vertiginous camera work, his extreme fish-eye closeups, his hazy dreamscapes, his over-crisp sound cues, his flair for the lurid, and his uncanny knack for suspense. But other than that, it’s hard to find a thematic element that connects his early works—such as his gross-out gore-fest Bad Taste or his depraved-and-diseased muppet movie, Meet the Feebles—with the story of Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), a bright-eyed 14-year-old girl who watches over her family through the dreamlike prism of the afterlife after she is murdered by a pedophilic maniac (Stanley Tucci). To ask Jackson, the one thing all his movies share is simply that they are movies he wanted to see. You know how when you read a book you imagine what the movie would look like? »
Keeping the Mood Light at The Lovely Bones Premiere

Susan Sarandon, Christian Ashdale, Peter Jackson, and Saoirse Ronan at The Lovely Bones premiere in New York City, on December 3, 2009. Photographs by PatrickMcMullan.com. “I didn’t even recognize you!” Susan Sarandon said to an Alexander Wang-clad Saoirse Ronan last night before the lights dimmed at the New York City premiere of the film The Lovely Bones. In the movie, which is based on Alice Sebold’s 2002 novel of the same name, Ronan, 15, plays Susie Salmon, who is murdered in 1974 and watches from heaven as her family tries to track down her killer. Sarandon plays Susie’s booze-bag grandma who helps the Salmon family cope with the tragedy. “It’s great as a young actress to get to be in the company of such great actors who have been around for a very long time and who are extremely comfortable on set,” Ronan said of her Oscar-winning co-stars Sarandon and Rachel Weisz, »
Susie Salmon Gets The Boy In This Clip From 'The Lovely Bones'
19 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Poor Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan). She's saddled with that awful last name, for starters. She's also never going to get to enjoy a deep, lasting relationship with the dreamy Brit who asks her out in this clip from director Peter Jackson's adaptation of the 2002 Alice Sebold novel, "The Lovely Bones." That's because she's going to be brutally murdered soon.
At least she won't have to worry about that last name thing anymore.

'The Hobbit' May Be Pushed to 2012
20 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The journey back to Middle Earth is taking longer than anyone anticipated, even its filmmakers. Peter Jackson revealed in an interview with Movie Reporter * that they're hoping to complete the second draft of The Hobbit script by the beginning of next year. Once that's done, they can calculate budget and set a start date, but even the most enthusiastic estimates mean that filming would begin in middle to late 2010. That's not even factoring in the MGM money woes, and how that could affect budgeting, though signs point to Warner Bros picking up the entire tab.
Jackson was silent as to whether the original release dates would hold, but I think we're all familiar enough with the magic of movie making to know that we're unlikely to see The Hobbit in December 2011. Remember, that was the date given for the first half of the film. It's more likely you'll see Part »

Week in geek: District 99p: Why science-fiction may triumph in the recession | Ben Child

Budgets are getting tighter, but sci-fi directors seem to be getting more creative. Is this one genre that might just boom in the crunch?
In these times of straitened budgets, film-makers are increasingly having to look outside the usual avenues to find the cash they need to fund their pet projects. Sir Ben Kingsley himself was in India earlier this week touting his planned historical epic Taj around to anyone who might have a spare rupee. Industry experts report that many studios have ground to a halt when it comes to actively seeking out new talent, with their focus now more on cutting costs on already greenlit projects.
Having said all that, it's pretty hard to ignore someone like Federico Alvarez, who has just been picked up by Sam Raimi's production company Ghost House, for a $1m deal. The Uruguayan film-maker's short film, Panic Attack!, which you can view above, »

Viggo Mortensen Plays A Worried Father In His Film ‘The Road’
3 December 2009 3:19 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The 51-year-old actor plays a father struggling to protect his son as they try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world in new movie 'The Road' and he admits he could relate to the fear of not being able to protect your offspring. The star - who has a 21-year-old son, Henry, with his ex-wife Exene Cervenka – said: “You worry about your child’s future. You’re like, ‘What if I’m away from my infant son or daughter for a few hours, do I trust someone else to take care of them?’ "Then, later in life, you're more concerned about whether you’ll be around anymore to help your children when they’re out of the nest. This movie just takes all those concerns to an extreme.” Viggo – who is best known for his role as Aragorn in Peter Jackson's 'The Lord of the Rings' film series »

Decade in Review: 2002 Top Ten
2 December 2009 7:58 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
As with 2000 and 2001, I'm reprinting my original top ten lists and commentary. If I've got something new to say, it'll be in red below.
Please note: This list was based on NYC release dates in the year 2002. Some movies are listed as different years at the IMDb based on when they were produced or released in their home country or in La or whatnot.
Undervalued: Morvern Callar, Roger Dodger, About a Boy, White Oleander, Panic Room and Kissing Jessica Stein Top 10 Runners Up: Chicago, Monsoon Wedding, Punch Drunk Love and Spirited Away I still am glad I championed most of these movies though I am sad that some of them aren't in the top ten... particularly Morvern, Monsoon and the Miyazaki. The MMMs. Though I'm not sure I'd know what to remove to make room for them.

'The Hobbit' Release Might Be Delayed Until 2012
2 December 2009 7:04 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
We wondered about this a few days ago, and now it's come to fruition, unfortunately. It looks as though The Hobbit will be pushed back to 2012 instead of opening in December 2011.
Admittedly, our own speculation was due to the imminent sale of MGM, which begged bondholders on its billions of dollars in debt to forgive interest payments (massive though they are) through the first few months of next year to afford the studio the opportunity to get the ball rolling on the mighty expensive Tolkien adaptation. Regardless of what happens there, it might not move forward for a few months, anyway.
If you'll recall, Peter Jackson had stated that another round of script revisions were necessary, meaning the project probably couldn't go into production until summer 2010. Now The Wrap says Warner Bros., the studio co-distributing Hobbit with MGM, is now leaning toward a release at the end of 2012. »

Stanley Tucci and Saoirse Ronan in The Lovely Bones
Photo: DreamWorks Studios Paramount and DreamWorks Studios have just revealed 23 new images from The Lovely Bones, which hits limited theaters on December 11 and expands throughout the month and I know this is my third image post of the day, but that one above just struck me as quite impressive for those of us that have read the book (or perhaps a few Sergio Leone fans out there in what is a wild alternative to the traditional standoff). I just wish it was in widescreen and not cropped, as I imagine there is a bit of additional room to the left and right of the two characters in the actual shot in the film.

Lots of Details About Peter Berg’s ‘Battleship’
2 December 2009 9:38 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
As if the idea of a movie based on the board game Battleship wasn’t worrying enough, it was recently announced that the bad guys are going to be aliens. Although, Fyi, take my opinion about the antagonists with a big grain of salt, as I don’t think a Battleship movie is a good idea to begin with.
It appears that studio Universal and director Peter Berg have been lending their ears to the negative reaction their Battleship movie has gotten – particularly about the aliens being the “villains,” and so the studio sent some journalists and bloggers to the U.S.S. Sterett, where they got a chance to ask questions to Berg about the project.
Thanks to reports from Latino Review and Chud, we now have some insight into what shape Berg’s Battleship may take:
