Michael Bay set to remake Friday the 13th
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: New Line, Horror, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it now: I don’t care for remakes. If it’s a new movie, shouldn’t it be a new script? At the very least, an original idea? In the wake of the success of Zombie’s Halloween remake (an idea I rejected outright as soon as I heard about it), Transformers director Michael Bay is going to re-do Friday the 13th. People…why mess with perfection? Friday the 13th has become an iconic horror movie, spawning a bevy of sequels and a whole new meaning for hockey masks. The re-make will bastardize the original movie, which featured not Jason but his mother as the scary killer. In this new version, Jason will both wear the mask (which didn’t appear in the original Friday the 13th flick) and do the dirty deeds himself. The setting of Crystal Lake, at least, will not be changed. The last Friday flick combined Jason with another horrific big screen villain, Freddy Krueger, in 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason. Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who wrote the F v. J script, will pen the new version of Friday the 13th. BAH!

Hilary Duff Back on the Big Screen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Romance, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Gamely trying to keep herself from disappearing off the radar completely, former tween icon Hilary Duff is currently shooting a new movie. Greta is currently being filmed on location in New Jersey and features Duff as a waitress who falls for a cook (played by Evan Ross). Their romance is fraught with obstacles put in place by her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn and Michael Murphy play the roles) who have an aversion of the cook’s criminal past. The dramatic tale of interracial love is a far different story from Duff’s previous movie acting credits, which include Cheaper by the Dozen and Agent Cody Banks.

Cate Blanchett to Reprise Royal Role
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Universal, Drama, Sequels, Awards, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Joining a very elite group of actresses, Cate Blanchett will reprise the role that pushed her into the mega-star category back in 1998. Almost ten years after her original performance as Queen Elizabeth I of England, Blanchett will star in Elizabeth: The Golden Years. Clive Owen and Geoffrey Rush will co-star in the flick, which will depict the controversial clash between England’s Queen and Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary Stewart is one of the most interesting characters in history, but there’s a good chance Blanchett will drown out any other female performer who shares the screen with her. As Elizabeth, Blanchett won the Golden Globe and receive an Oscar nomination for her well-loved portrayal. Will the Golden Years prove to be Blanchett’s chance for winning gold as Elizabeth?
