'Hannah Montana' Comes Home, Battles Tyra Banks In New Trailer

Posted 1/21/09 1:18 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Video


The Jonas Brothers aren't the only teen sensations with a movie coming up -- insanely popular Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus is also hitting the big screen for the appropriately titled "Hannah Montana: The Movie." And now we have our first look, as the first trailer has officially hit the web.

Featuring a new song (the film will have 12 new song total), the trailer shows exactly where this movie is heading, and that's to Miley's hometown in Tennessee. With Hannah Montana's status -- and ego -- getting out of control, Miley's dad (played by her real-life pops) decides to ship her back to her hometown to humble the star. Toss in a good-looking cowboy and a full-on battle with Tyra Banks, and you've got yourself a movie. Check out some screenshots of the trailer below, and then click here to watch it. "Hannah Montana: The Movie" hits theaters April 10.

'Iron Man 2’ & Other Upcoming Blockbusters: Feeling The Economic Pinch?

Posted 1/21/09 12:17 pm EST by in News


'Iron Man'FROM SPLASH PAGE: Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year, you know that the U.S. economy isn't doing so hot right now. Since you're here for the latest movie news, we'll spare you our personal politics on the state of the dollar -- but we will direct your attention to a just-published report explaining how the nation's economic woes are affecting some of 2010's most anticipated projects, including "Iron Man 2."

According to Variety, major studios will be "proceeding cautiously" in the coming months in terms of greenlighting projects or continuing with currently in-production ones, partly because of a possible SAG strike, but mostly due to the economy. Specifically, the piece points to "Iron Man 2" as an example, saying that potential "Iron Man 2" villain Mickey Rourke was given a low-ball offer of $250,000, and that Samuel L. Jackson may have been offered a similar low quote, leading him to say he might not return to the franchise as Nick Fury just last week.

Tobey Maguire Snags 'Good People' Thriller, Development Timeline Depends On 'Spider-Man'

Posted 1/21/09 10:54 am EST by in News


Tobey MaguireThese days, Tobey Maguire seems to be in a race with his pal Leonardo DiCaprio as to who can line up the biggest production slate for their respective companies. According to Variety, The Film Department and Maguire Entertainment have obtained the rights to "Good People," the latest crime thriller by Marcus Sakey. It's being developed as a starring vehicle for Maguire, as is the case with all his producing projects.

"Good" centers on a young couple who are deeply in debt after a round of failed fertility treatments. All their problems seem to be solved when they find $400,000 in a deceased tenant's apartment -- but you know money like that just has to have suspicious origins. Their initial excitement is squashed when a drug dealer, a vengeful robber, and a suspicious cop all come looking for the money and the man who hid it. Read More...

Sony Delays '2012,' Citing Summer Strength Of 'Angels And Demons' & 'Terminator: Salvation'

Posted 1/21/09 10:17 am EST by in News


'2012'The summer blockbuster schedule just got a little emptier. According to Variety, Sony has delayed Roland Emmerich's apocalyptic action flick "2012" from July 10 all the way back to November 13.

While such a decision seems to suggest that the effects-laden film won't be ready, or that the studio lacks confidence in the film, Sony insists that's not the case. Sony's head of international distribution, Rory Bruer, insists that the film would have been ready for its July release date. But the studio felt they had a very strong summer slate with "Angels and Demons" on May 15, and the Denzel Washington, John Travolta thriller "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" on June 12. They also have the international distribution rights to "Terminator: Salvation," so when it comes to the big bucks of the blockbuster season, they're all set. Read More...

Joss Whedon & Drew Goddard Add Two To 'The Cabin In The Woods' Cast

Posted 1/21/09 9:26 am EST by in News


Joss WhedonThe secrecy surrounding Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's horror film "The Cabin in the Woods" has been incredibly tight. But the casting of two unconventional actors may shed some light on what kind of horror film we can expect from the god and demigod of geekdom. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor") and Bradley Whitford ("The West Wing") have signed on to play the leads.

"They're the first proof that though 'The Cabin in the Woods' is a classic horror film, it isn't one you've seen before," said Whedon. Read More...

Tea Leoni Admits Past Year 'Has Been Hard,' Prepares To Debut New Film

Posted 1/20/09 9:32 pm EST by in Sundance09, Video


My admiration for the comic timing of the great Tea Leoni dates back to "Flirting with Disaster" so it pleases me to learn her new film debuting tonight at Sundance is a comedy and calls for her to talk fast and funny alongside the likes of Billy Bob Thorton. That it comes from the great Polish brothers and is called "Manure" is just icing on the cake.

When I chatted with Tea this morning I brought up her reported split with husband David Duchovny as gently as possible and she admitted the year has been hard. But she's also talking like a woman whose marriage isn't quite over (or am I reading too much into it)? Does this in fact add fuel to the speculation last week after Duchovny's Globes speech perhaps?

Kristen Stewart Earns Her Sundance Veteran Status

Posted 1/20/09 8:37 pm EST by in Sundance09, Video


What a difference a year makes.

Last year Kristen Stewart came to Sundance as just another actor. She was here for the small film "The Yellow Handkerchief," which has yet to have a wide release, as is the case for many films shown here. It's actually part of the charm.

Then she started working on her next project (maybe you've heard of it?), which catapulted her into super-stardom with young girls everywhere. This year, here to debut "Adventureland," a film in which she co-stars with Jesse Eisenberg, the experience is a bit different for the young actress. When we caught up with Kristen yesterday, the "Twilight" star specifically described the difference in the level of paparazzi she's noticed here on this go round.

Kristen goes on to talk more about the Sundance experience, and what she thinks about all the actors and celebrities who are here for -- or not for -- festival films. Check out the video after the jump. Read More...
