Will About Last Night Get Another Night in Theaters?
About last night – any of you remember what happened? No? Then this piece of remake news might help jog your memory.
The 1986 entry that, in my opinion, surpassed St. Elmo’s Fire on the chart of Brat Pack-era films, could be hitting the big screen once again.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Screen Gems is toying with the idea of remaking About Last Night – a film about a couple who try to turn a one-night stand into a relationship.

Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Television, DC Comics,
I spent Thanksgiving outside the US this year so I’m stuffed with stir-fried shrimp and chocolate ice cream, which made for an excellent breakfast of leftovers, because that's just how I roll.
If you’re out and about shopping now for the holidays, here’s the best Holiday Shopping Gift Guide you’re ever going to need for the 2010 credit card season, courtesy of Tom Spurgeon at The Comics Reporter.
Let’s see what else is going on:
Green Lantern: If you’ve been in awe of the new Ryan Reynolds trailer for Green Lantern, there’s at least one person with an alternate view worth reading: Ricky Sprague at Project Child Murdering Robot. “The Green Lantern Corps is their ‘muscle,’ enforcing their rules of righteousness. They take creatures from various parts of the universe and have them fight 'evil.' There are lots of different GLs, made up of different species from different planets. You can see where this is starting to get lame.”

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot Moving Forward
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Horror, Remakes, Science Fiction, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
A planned reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a new name attached to the project – and it still isn't Joss Whedon.
Warner Bros., the studio that had optioned the project from Fran and Kaz Kuzui, formally announced Monday that it will be moving forward with the production despite Joss Whedon’s previous declaration that he would not be involved.
"There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character's return to the big screen," producer Charles Roven explained. "Details of the film are being kept under wraps, but I can say while this is not your high-school Buffy, she'll be just as witty, tough, and sexy as we all remember her to be."

Snyder, who most recently directed Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, will work with producer Christopher Nolan on the project. His name was chosen from a field of contenders that included Matt Reeves, Darren Aronofsky, Tony Scott and Ben Affleck.

Wonder Woman Reboot: On Again
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Gossip, Rumors,
One well-known TV writer is venturing where some of Hollywood's finest scriptwriters fear to pen.
David E. Kelley (whose credits include Ally McBeal, Boston Public and The Practice) is working on a new Wonder Woman script which will re-launch the franchise in TV.
Kelley has inked a deal with Warner Brothers to bring the superheroine to the small screen—and things look promising. Kelley has a lot of TV clout, a clever way to with dialogue and a string of successful series to his credit.
Wonder Woman was previously the subject of her own TV series in the late 1970s. Lynda Carter became known as the iconic Wonder Woman of that era.
Another series was attempted in the 1990s,this time with Deborah Joy LeVine penning the script (her work includes Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), but the project was scrapped during casting of the title character.

NBC Revamping The Munsters
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, NBC, Gossip,
UPDATE: Find out what one former Munster has to say about the remake.
The minute we heard CBS was planning to redo Hawaii Five-0, we should have seen this coming. Yes, you guessed it: NBC is going to bring back The Munsters.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the network is envisioning a “Modern Family meets True Blood” type of series. (I’ll let you figure that one out.)
The (possible) good news? NBC has smartly recruited Bryan Fuller—the creator of Pushing Daisies—to help retool the 1960s comedy about a family of monsters. At this point, only a pilot has been ordered.
Word has it even Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) is even interested in doing something behind the scenes.
So what do you think of this project? Could it be enough to get NBC out of fourth place?

Christopher Nolan Inspired by Classic Superman Film
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Classics, Remakes, Thrillers, Casting, Filmmaking, Rumors,
Director Christopher Nolan is seeking inspiration from the 1978 Superman film.
Nolan, who is producing the upcoming Superman remake alongside his brother Jonah Nolan and David S. Goyer, revealed he aspires to achieve the same success as filmmaker Richard Donner did in the very first adaptation of the comic book story.
“I was hugely struck by the Donner films in the ‘70s when I was a kid. In 1978 I saw Superman and it had such an epic scope to it. It took on this incredible, iconic figure and gave that iconic figure an appropriate framing. It made quite an impression on me. It’s definitely one of my childhood touchstones on what epic cinema can be.”

Mr. T Angry Over A-Team Remake
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Political, Remakes, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases, Rumors,
Mr. T has blasted The A-Team movie for being too graphic.
The actor claims the big screen adaptation is not family-friendly like the cult series he starred in as B.A. Baracus - who is played in the new film by Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson - from 1983 to 1987 and turned down a cameo role because he was unhappy with the plot.
“They offered me a cameo role but I turned it down because I knew what was coming. People die in the film and there’s plenty of sex but when we did it no one got hurt and it was all played for fun and family entertainment. These seem to be elements nobody is interested in any more. It was too graphic for me. I’ve no doubt it will do big business at the box office but it’s nothing like the show we turned out every week.”
Actor Dirk Benedict has previously spoken out about feeling “insulted” at being a handed “three second” role in the film because the producers wanted to say they had used the original cast. Dirk - whose role of Templeton “Faceman” Peck has been taken on by Bradley Cooper - said, “If you blink, you’ll miss me. I kind of regret doing it because it’s a non-part. They wanted to be able to say, ‘Oh yeah, the original cast are in it’, but we’re not. I’m on for a mere three seconds and I find that kind of insulting.”
The film comes out in theaters this Friday, June 11.
