Remember the “Mamma Mia!” movie that came out last year? The one that starred Meryl Streep and was based on the stage musical, which itself was based on a whole bunch of ABBA songs from the '70s? Yeah, well that movie is now the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK box-office, having beaten James Cameron’s “Titanic.” Lemme state that again: “Mamma Mia!” is the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK box-office.

So, there’s gotta be a sequel, right? Read more...

Before diving in with the coming week's releases, let's take a quick look at last week's. I think the poll results usually paint a pretty telling picture of who is reading this blog. The weekend's big box office winner, Tyler Perry's "I Can Do Bad All By Myself," failed to pick up a single vote in the poll. "Sorority Row" took top spot in the poll (70% of your votes), followed in a distant second by "Whiteout" and "9," which were basically tied, at 15% and 13% respectively.

My takeaway is that you readers are on the younger side -- ie below 30, or at least not yet parents -- and that you prefer spectacle to schmaltz. That's definitely an overly broad generalization, but I do find the fact the weekend's biggest earner, by quite a wide margin I might add, didn't even pick up one vote in last week's poll. Now, let's take a look at what's in store this week... Read more...

"Jennifer's Body" is out soon. As in "this Friday" soon. In it, Megan Fox plays a high school cheerleader who is possessed by some evil force. She uses her innate hotness to lure male classmates into compromising situations... and then consume their souls. Amanda Seyfried plays her good-girl best friend, a sort of moral anchor as Fox's character slips deeper into the darkness. At some point, the two share a kiss.

You've already heard how Fox feels about the tender moment. Now hear Seyfried's side of the story in the video below.

This Friday at 7pm, MTV's semi-regular series "Behind the Screen" is back with exclusive clips and interviews from some of the fall season's most anticipated releases. In addition to getting your very first look at the set of the "Clash of the Titans" remake, starring Sam Worthington, we'll also take you behind the scenes with "Jennifer's Body."

In case you've somehow missed it -- a difficult thing to do, given all the... ummm... exposure "Transformers" star Megan Fox has brought along -- the Diablo Cody-penned teen horror flick is all about a possessed cheerleader (Fox) who preys on the souls of her male classmates while her bookish friend (Amanda Seyfried) tries to put an end to the madness. In the below interview clip, a preview of Friday's "Behind the Screen," Fox discusses a subject that I imagine most of you male readers might be interested in: kissing other women.

For the past few weeks we've been watching Megan Fox kick ass and take names in her return trip to Michael Bay's explosion-laced fantasy world of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Her next silver screen outing will trade all of those shiny robots and eye-catching explosions for blood-slicked surfaces and eye-catching bare skin. In "Jennifer's Body," Fox plays a possessed cheerleader who uses her wiles to lure male classmates into a variety of gruesome deaths.

Here we have the latest red-band trailer for "Jennifer's Body," via a ShockTillYouDrop exclusive. There's plenty of violence and suggestive undressing, along with Jennifer's bestie Needy Lesnicky (Amanda Seyfried) trying to pull her friend back from the dark side. The premise may not have the instant appeal of "giant robots destroy everything," but presuming Oscar-winner Diablo Cody's script drips with the same sort of clever wordplay that made "Juno" so fantastic, "Jennifer's Body" will definitely be one to watch.

These days, Megan Fox’s career is nearly as hot as… well… she is. At the same time, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more desired screenwriter in Hollywood than the Oscar-winning lady behind “Juno,” Diablo Cody. Factor in demon possession, girl-on-girl brawling and Fox in a cheerleading costume, and you can see why “Jennifer’s Body” is looking mighty good.

“I just did ADR on it,” Fox said of the late-stage voiceover work that that marked the end of her role in the film as it enters post-production for a September release. “There’s this scene in a kitchen. I can’t reveal too much -- but it’s the first time you see me cross over from human to whatever this weird thing is that I’ve become. I actually truly frightened myself -- which I’m excited about.” Read more...

I'm beginning to think the gang over at Summit Entertainment has a thing for star-crossed lovers. As you know, they're the studio that's bringing you so much "Twilight," as well as Robert Pattinson's "Remember Me." Now they've moved on to that other famous young couple, Romeo and Juliet. According to Variety, they have recruited Amanda Seyfried, Gael Garcia Bernal, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero to star in "Letters to Juliet."

"Letters" is loosely based on the book by Lise and Ceil Friedman, which collects the real-life letters sent to William Shakespeare's Juliet. Though she sprang entirely from Shakespeare's imagination, Verona legend has assigned her a home, a tomb, and a balcony that is popular destination for visitors and weddings. Letters have been sent to Juliet since the Victorian era, but they've increased over the years, particularly whenever a new film adaptation comes out. She's become a bit of a saint to the lovelorn, who write to her begging for sympathy and advice. Read more...

“Mamma Mia!” star Dominic Cooper has had a pretty good run as of late. His ABBA-inspired musical raked in $140+ million at the box office, he’s rumored to be dating gorgeous co-star Amanda Seyfried and—when we caught up with the British actor on the Oscar red carpet—he was getting ready to sing live in front of countless Hollywood A-listers and millions of regular folks watching on TVs across the globe.

What we really wanted to know from Cooper was if that good run will soon include a “Mamma Mia!” sequel, as has been rumored. “We’re in negotiations,” he said, before waving off that idea. “No, I have no idea. I keep hearing rumors.” Read more...

Would you cheat on your wife if Amanda Seyfried tempted to you? That's the dangerous game Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, and Seyfried will be playing in "Chloe," a film the trio has just joined according to Variety.

A remake of the French film "Nathalie," Moore will play a wife who is suspicious her husband (played by Neeson) is having an affair. She decides to test his faithfulness with the spectacularly bad idea of hiring an escort to tempt him. Read more...
