‘Indiana Jones’ Trailer Coming to Theaters
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adventure, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
If you’ve lacking plans for your Valentine’s Day, consider taking your honey out to a showing of The Spiderwick Chronicles. Not only will you catch Freddie Highmore in yet another high-profile child role, you’ll get an added bonus: a glimpse of the next Indiana Jones film.
The trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be the first teaser we’ve seen for the series in approximately 19 years. The Feb. 14th debut will kick off the three-month countdown to the film’s debut on May 22nd.
Karen Allen, Cate Blanchett and Shia LeBeouf will all join Harrison Ford for the latest outing.

Shia LeBeouf Arrested in Chicago
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
This year’s ‘It’ boy has just surpassed another noteworthy milestone on his rise to stardom: the drunken arrest.
The star of Disturbia, Surf’s Up and Transformers was detained early this morning in The Windy City after refusing to leave a Walgreens. A security guard, believing Shia LeBeouf to be drunk, told Shia to exit the store. The Chicago Police Department was then asked to step in when the actor refused to cooperate. (Apparently he’s not used to taking instruction from someone other than a director.) LeBeouf - who was reportedly ‘very courteous and polite’ with authorities - posted bail after being detained for several hours. He is scheduled to appear in court on November 28 for misdemeanor criminal trespassing.
Interestingly enough, the actor held off celebrating his 21st birthday last June because of his work on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. LeBeouf told Vanity Fair he wanted to finish the Indy project before taking a sip. “People say, ‘What are you doing for your 21st birthday, Shia?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m making an Indiana Jones movie.’ What’s better than that?” (The movie is currently in post-production, so it appears he may have been a man of his word.)
And while news of a young male star slipping up is hard to come by these days, I found today’s celeb arrest to be mildly disappointing. Seriously—who hasn’t been kicked out of a store when they were 21?

Target Date For ‘Transformers’ Sequel
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, Paramount, Action, Science Fiction, Upcoming Releases,
I believe this is what you call putting the cart before the horse..
Although no director, producer or star have yet been confirmed for the project, a target date has already been set for a Transformers sequel. While Michael Bay and Shia LeBeouf are expected to return, Steven Spielberg’s participation is currently up in the air. An ongoing dispute between Spielberg’s Dreamworks and its parent company, Paramount, could unfortunately put a wrench in everyone’s plans. But it’s hoped production can at least begin before a possible Actors Guild strike next year.
If all things go as planned, expect to see the film on June 26th…2009.

Random Couple Alert: Shia and Rihanna??
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
Okay - my eyes were a bit tired this morning but they definitely woke up when I saw this story. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is reporting that Shia LeBeouf (Transformers, Disturbia) and singer Rihanna (‘SOS’, ‘Umbrella’) are currently an item! There’s no reason why I should find this strange….they are pretty close in age (he’s 21, she’s 19)....but for some reason I still do. Or at least I find it quite random.
How ‘bout you? What do you think about this latest pairing? (You can see a picture of them via the link below)

Box Office Breakdown: Bourne Breaks Bank

Matt Damon may still be vying for People magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ title—but he has one thing that George Clooney and Brad Pitt don’t have: the biggest debut for an August opening ever.
The Bourne Ultimatum‘s $70 million take improved upon the previous Bourne installments and gave Damon his largest weekend to date (and that’s including all three Ocean’s movies).
Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan should be happy that she’s holed up in rehab again—though seeing her movie kicked out of the Top Ten would have probably sent her there anyway. Apparently theatergoers can only handle one movie about Bratz at a time…

Box Office Breakdown: A Homerun For Homer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, MGM, New Line, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Musicals, Period, Political, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists, New Releases,
Looks like Homer ain’t gonna be needing a deal on donuts anymore….
With a $74 million opening weekend, The Simpsons Movie debuted higher than most of the animated features released…ever. Only the two Shrek sequels did better. Quite a head-shaking number since we can still see the series for free on television. But viewers from every single Springfield in the US—plus a thousand other cities out there—love the family so much, they were willing to pay for more. Especially when it comes with nudity.
What theatergoers aren’t willing to pay for is more Lindsay Lohan. I Know Who Killed Me placed a dismal 9th, possibly due to lack of promotional work by the star. How ironic that in the end it was Lindsay who was responsible for killing the movie and possibly her career.

Box Office Breakdown: Viewers Get Caught Up In A Sticky Web
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: FOCUS, Disney, New Line, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Animation, Drama, Family, Foreign, Horror, Mystery, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Sports, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists, New Releases,
Let’s see if it’s possible for me to say something terribly surprising…
Spider-Man 3 scored the largest domestic debut for a movie ever ($59.8 million on Friday). Two days later, it broke the box office record for the highest grossing weekend ever ($151 million). Both records were previously set by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
With no strong competitors next week, Spidey is bound to stay on top. But all things could change in just a matter of weeks when Shrek rolls into town (May 18th). And let’s not forget about that Captain Jack Sparrow. May 25th could be the day that the third Pirates installment sails in to reclaim the box office booty.
1. Spider-Man 3, Sony, $151,116,516
2. Disturbia, Paramount, $5,844,363
3. Fracture, New Line, $3,696,060
4. The Invisible, Disney, $3,261,374
5. Next, Paramount, $2,892,335
6. Lucky You, Warner Bros., $2,710,445
7. Meet the Robinsons, Disney, $2,619,654
8. Blades of Glory, Paramount, $2,409,106
9. Hot Fuzz, Focus, $2,219,346
10. Are We Done Yet?, Sony, $1,744,619
