Sandra Bullock To Reunite With 'The Proposal' Director For New Rom-Com: Should It Be Her Next Film?

Posted 10/20/10 11:40 am EST by in News


Sandra BullockIt seems only natural that director Anne Fletcher would propose to Sandra Bullock that they reunite after the success of last year's "The Proposal." According to The Hollywood Reporter Fletcher did just that... and Bullock has said "I do": The two of them are teaming up for an as-yet-untitled romantic comedy that's being written by "The Wedding Planner" scribes Pamela Falk and Michael Ellis and is said to be in the vein of "An Unmarried Woman" and "Saturday Night Fever."

Though she has yet to tackle a role since her Oscar win for "The Blind Side," Bullock does have several other high profile projects in the works as we speak... and I don't think I'd be the first to suggest it might be better for her to put the rom-com down, slowly back away and try something a little bit different. That could be Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi thriller "Gravity" or the upcoming adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" or even "Most Wanted," which would reunite Bullock with her "Proposal" costar Ryan Reynolds. After the jump, we weigh the pros and cons of each and cast our vote for which film Bullock should go with next. Read More...

Sandra Bullock Heading To Space For 'Gravity'?

Posted 10/7/10 11:05 am EST by in Commentary, News


Sandra BullockLast year, Sandra Bullock scored the two biggest box-office hits of her career, "Alfonso Cuarón's 3-D space thriller "Gravity."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bullock is in negotiations to star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the film that has already seen a bevy of beautiful A-list actresses come and go.

Originally set up as a star vehicle for Angelina Jolie, Brangelina's poutier-lipped half departed the flick when Warner Bros. reportedly balked at her $20 mil salary. This summer, the studio talked to Marion Cotillard, screen-tested Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively, then shifted their gaze back to Jolie. None of this yielded a leading lady, so WB started talks with Natalie Portman, who's garnering the strongest buzz of her career for the upcoming psychological thriller "Black Swan." Read More...

Sam Raimi Drags Us 'To Hell,' Will Ferrell Gets 'Lost' And More In The DVD Report For October 13

Posted 10/13/09 4:00 pm EST by in DVD


'Drag Me to Hell'Director Sam Raimi made a name for himself (and boyhood friend Bruce Campbell) with a series of low-budget horror films that began in 1978 with "Within the Woods," a short college project that would chart the rest of his career. While that particular movie remains little seen, it led directly to the cult classic "Evil Dead" and its two sequels, "Evil Dead II" and "Army of Darkness," and forever cemented Sam Raimi as a bonafide member of the horror club.

So it was with some regret among his fans that -- as his career progressed -- Raimi drifted into other areas of cinema, most notably the billion dollar blockbuster "Spider-Man" franchise, and seemingly left his chainsaw and boomstick behind. That was until 2009, when he came roaring out of the gate with "Drag Me to Hell," the veteran filmmaker's return to the genre that made him a legend. The film stars Alison Lohman as a young bank officer who is hexed at the decrepit hands of a vengeful gypsie. Like most of Raimi's works, it's mixed with his personal flair and imbued with a sense of humor, while remaining throughout a very scary movie. "Drag Me To Hell" arrives on Blu-ray and DVD with only one true special feature -- that the "Production Video Diaries," a half-hour look at the making of the film. It's unfortunate that Raimi couldn't be persuaded to record a commentary, as it's always a treat getting inside his head. Read More...

"Bruno" has finally made a name for himself in Hollywood! Sacha Baron Cohen's latest R-rated cultural satire nabbed the top spot this weekend, making a fashionable debut of $14.2 million. Though his reviews (71% at Rotten Tomatoes) and ticket sales are solid, Deadline Hollywood Daily reports that the gay Austrian fashionista might just be a little too shocking for audiences. "It only earned a "C" Cinemascore indicating domestic moviegoers didn't like what they saw -- perhaps because of the unexpectedly in-your-face male genitalia." Read More...
