Scream Queens: Kristen Bell, Anna Paquin
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Horror, Sequels, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
The cast of Scream 4 has room for all, it seems - including an Oscar winner and the girl next door.
Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell have both been confirmed to the cast of the horror flick, joining Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox-Arquette, David Arquette, Hayden Panettiere and Adam Brody on the set.
Dimension Films has offered no hints on the characters Paquin and Bell will play, but we do know that Emma Roberts will play Jill, the film’s heroine (and therefore, least likely to be brutally murdered onscreen).
The movie will be released in April 2011.

First Look: Christina Aguilera and Cher in Burlesque
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sony, Drama, Music, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
If a young Christina Aguilera had chosen to work in burlesque clubs rather than the Mickey Mouse Club, the result might have looked a little something like this.
In the Showgirls-esque film Burlesque, the “Not Myself Tonight” singer brings her small-town dreams to Los Angeles. There, she lands a job as a cocktail waitress, a mentor named Tess (Cher) and a jealous rival named Nikki (Kristen Bell).
The Sony production - also starring Julianne Hough, Cam Gigandet and Stanley Tucci - hits the stage November 24, 2010.

No Drama for Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Romance, Comedy, Celebrity Gossip,
Kristen Bell - who has been with Dax Shepard since 2007 - admits When In Rome producers were initially concerned about hiring the both of them.
“When they started casting they knew Dax and I were dating and almost didn’t hire him for that reason,” Kristen revealed. “I said, ‘I get it, you don’t want drama, but we’re not very dramatic. If you want the best person, hire him!’”
The 29-year-old actress was thrilled when Dax was eventually cast. “They did and it was wonderful,” Bell claimed.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Fox Searchlight, Lionsgate, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Music, Period, Romance, Science Fiction, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Despite receiving less than enthusiastic reviews, Valentine’s Day remained the point of attraction for many romance-minded ticket buyers this weekend. Garry Marshall’s romantic comedy wooed audiences over the holiday period while simultaneously breaking records in the process.
Warner Bros.’ ensemble cast combined their efforts to pull in $63.1 million over the past four days ($56.2 million for just the first three). The feature became the highest-grossing film during any President’s or Valentine’s Day frame while also topping the studio’s list of four-day debuts.

Box Office Breakdown: Dear John Brings Down Avatar

Dear John—And they didn’t think we could do it. Take that, blue people! XOXO, Savannah
After an exhausting seven weeks at #1, Avatar found itself in entirely new territory: sitting back at #2. Although the film had broken nearly every record in the history books (and padded another $22.9 million to its domestic total), the 20th Century Fox feature ended its win streak nine weeks shy of E.T.‘s mark.
Taking the lead from James Cameron was the latest weeper from author Nicholas Sparks. Dear John - starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried - was the counterprogramming winner during Super Bowl weekend. The romantic drama earned an impressive $30.5 million and came narrowly close to besting the record set during the same sports frame in 2008. (That was when Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour generated $31.1 million.)

Box Office Breakdown: Avatar Has the Edge Over Mel Gibson
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Touchstone, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Period, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Despite success in recent years as a director, Mel Gibson hasn’t been seen in front of the cameras in quite some time. Unfortunately, he couldn’t have picked a worse weekend to make a return.
Gibson’s new film, Edge of Darkness, debuted to a respectable $17.2 million over the past three days. While that may - may - have been enough for a first place finish at any other time, the Warner Bros. feature brought in approximately half as much as that other film.
Avatar, with its $31.3 million take, is now approximately $10 million shy of officially taking the domestic crown from Titanic. (The 20th Century Fox film finally become the worldwide leader during the past week.) If the sci-fi extravaganza remains at #1 for
nine more weeks,it’ll officially tie E.T. for that record.)

Box Office Breakdown: Christmas Carol Wins, Precious Soars
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Documentary, Drama, Family, Horror, Music, Remakes, Science Fiction, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
We’re still weeks away from Thanksgiving, but theatergoers already have Christmas on their minds.
Disney’s A Christmas Carol, the umpteenth version of the Charles Dickens tale, brought the story back to life with a visual rendition. Robert Zemeckis’ latest holiday creation earned over $30 million, surpassing Polar Express’ open by $7 million. Although the Jim Carrey film didn’t come close to its reported $180 million budget, Carol still has weeks to go before Avatar takes over 3D screens.
Meanwhile, a film with no bells or whistles made an impact just outside the Top 10. Precious, Sundance’s Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize winner, broke a record while in limited release. The 12th place entry averaged a whopping $104,025 this weekend over only 18 theaters. That’s the largest per screen average for any film opening in more than 10 locations.
