Sandra Bullock said she would gladly accept any Razzie that might come her way, and last night, she honored her promise.
On the eve of her potential first Oscar win, The Blind Side actress took time out of her busy schedule to thank those who hated her work. The winner of two Golden Raspberry Awards - one for Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple - said those who honored her clearly didn’t watch All About Steve.

Box Office Breakdown: Audiences Agree on The Proposal

It seems a little skin might just go a long way.
After weeks of talking to the media about their joint nude scene, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds saw their movie take the top spot. Was it a coincidence? Maybe. Whatever the reason, The Proposal became the actress’ biggest opener ever. Prior to this weekend, 2007’s Premonition - a horrible film, btw - had Bullock’s largest debut. (That movie grossed $17.6 million, almost 1/2 less than the romantic comedy.)
Meanwhile, Reynolds is this week’s Bradley Cooper. Sandra’s leading man, like The Hangover star, has just had his second #1 film of the year. (The first being Wolverine.)

Box Office Breakdown: Hangover Hangs on for Another Win
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Remakes, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
This is one hangover that’s taking a while to recover from.
For the second week in a row, the must-see comedy of the summer has taken the top spot at the charts. The Hangover, which already had a greenlighted sequel prior to its debut, raked in another $32.7 million over the weekend. The film has now earned over $100 million and given Bradley Cooper his second #1 entry of the year. (His first was February’s He’s Just Not That Into You.)
Sitting in third place this week (right behind Up), was The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, a remake of a 1974 version starring starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. The action thriller, which had Denzel Washington working with director Tony Scott for the fourth time, pulled in a respectable $23.3 million. Meanwhile, Imagine That, Eddie Murphy’s latest stinker, earned $5.5 million in wide release. That gross bests the premiere of Meet Dave by approximately $200,000.

Box Office Breakdown: The Hangover Rises Above Up

Unlike most Mike Tyson fights, The Hangover‘s win was no knockout.
After a back-and-forth battle with Up, Todd Phillips’ film about an eventful bachelor party edged out the animated pic by less than $1 million. Hangover - which features no major stars (unless you count the boxer) - grossed nearly $45 million on its opening weekend. That’s the third best debut for an R-rated comedy ever. (Only Sex and the City and American Pie 2 have done better.)
Meanwhile, a project actually featuring an A-lister became the summer’s first stinker. Land of the Lost, starring Will Ferrell, Anna Friel and Danny McBride, earned a sad $18.8 million over the past three days. Although that amount was good enough for third place, the film cost an estimated $100 million to make.

Get a Look at Land of the Lost
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
Back in February, we told you about a planned remake of the ‘70s series, Land of the Lost. The comedy, starring Will Ferrell, would give a modern update to the mysterious land filled with dinosaurs and things called Pakuni.
While the recreation will not have any kids (they’ve been replaced by two adult companions), other elements of the original show will remain as true as possible. In the picture above, you can see director Brad Silberling’s (Lemony Snicket) version of the classic Sleestaks. The lizard creatures - which won’t be products of CGI - will come with slightly enhanced features. Instead of being armed with crossbows, the green guys will be able to draw quills from their spines.
Production on the Universal project is currently underway.

Ferrell and Friel in ‘Land of the Lost’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
For his next film, comedian Will Ferrell will be taking a step back from his sports-related projects. After positioning himself on the race track, ice rink and basketball court—he will now find himself smack in the middle of a prehistoric world when he takes on the 70’s classic series, Land of the Lost.
The movie, based on the cult kid’s show, will also star Anna Friel of ABC’s newest hit, Pushing Daisies. The classic version (which I personally recall watching in the 80’s) centered around a family of three - father, daughter, son - who got themselves stuck on some strange island filled with dinosaurs and alien-like creatures. In this updated treatment, Ferrell will play a ‘disgraced paleontologist’ while Friel will be the obligatory love interest. (What this means for Cha-Ka and the kids, I don’t know.)
No estimated release date has been announced for the Universal production.
