War War Z to Undergo Rewrite and Reshoots
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Adaptation, Horror, Thrillers, Distribution, Filmmaking, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
The actor - who is also one of the producers - shot the post-apocalyptic horror film in various locations around Europe last year but Prometheus screenwriter Damon Lindelof has been brought on board to fix some problems with the first cut. Lindelof is thought to be concentrating on the film's third act which reportedly needs serious restructuring.
The December 2012 release date has been pushed back to summer 2013 to allow for six to seven weeks of reshoots in September and October.
The movie is based on the 2006 novel by Max Brooks and also stars Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, and Anthony Mackie. Marc Forster has directed the film.
The reshoots will be a blow to the studio Paramount, who had hoped to turn it into a trilogy.

Lil Kim Unhappy with Notorious New Film
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Fox Searchlight, Drama, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Lil Kim isn’t too happy with the film Notorious, and I’m not referring to Hitchcock’s 1946 joint. The diminutive singer will be characterized in an upcoming biopic of rapper Notorious B.I.G. - she says in a “false portrayal.”
Angela Bassett, Derek Luke, Anthony Mackie, Naturi Naughton and Antonique Smith will star with newcomer Jamal Woolard, who plays the title role in the flick. Currently, Notorious is scheduled to hit theaters on the 16th of January. But Lil Kim says the movie is sensationalized, as films are wont to be.

Veronica Santiago and Neil Estep review Half Nelson in this episode of FilmCrunch:
Dan Dunne, an idealistic inner-city junior high school teacher, inspires his 13 and 14-year-olds to examine everything from civil rights to Civil War with a new enthusiasm. Rejecting the standard Civil Rights curriculum in favor of an edgier approach, Dan teaches his students how change works—on both a historical and personal scale. Though Dan can get it together in the classroom, he spends his time outside school on the edge of consciousness.
