Who knew that all it would take to bring the worlds of "Twilight" and HBO's "True Blood" together was Bruce Willis? Nikki Reed and Deborah Ann Woll are now confirmed for starring roles in "Catch .44," Deadline reports. They join Willis, Malin Ackerman and Forest Whitaker in a story that follows three hottie female assassins who are sent off on a suicide mission. The movie, which starts shooting in Louisiana on July 8, will be directed by relative newcomer Aaron Harvey, who made his 2007 debut with "The Evil Woods."

10. "Glee" returns, or "Fox's Other Singing Show Comes Back"
Fox's knockout high school choir club comedy has become an instant television classic, and on April 13, it will return from its four month hiatus to air the final nine episodes of the first season. The show already had a fan following (Gleeks), had a Hot Topic tour and has been nominated for four Golden Globes including Best Comedy Series, Best Actor and Best Actress. Needless to say, seeing how the show wraps up its first season is definitely something to sing about.

'Twilight,' 'True Blood' Vampires Win Big At Spike TV's Scream Awards
Posted 10/19/09 10:00 am EST by Adam Rosenberg in News
FROM MTV.COM: At the previous three incarnations of the Spike TV Scream Awards, vampires were considered just another fanboy favorite, alongside such evergreens as zombies, killer robots, and busty sci-fi babes. But over the past 12 months, franchises like "Twilight" and "True Blood" have sunk their teeth into Hollywood, and Saturday night's taping of the fourth annual awards showed that there's no hate from the horror fans.
"'Scream' is in the name — how much cooler can you get?" marveled "The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco, looking up and down a checkered black-and-white carpet that had scantily clad women on swings overhead and a unicorn frolicking with such stars as Christina Ricci, Keith Richards and Justin Long. "Vampires are hot! It's scary stuff; they love this whole sci-fi, futuristic thing. Vampires are hot, nerds are hot. The world is coming to an end."

'Cloverfield' Director Matt Reeves Defends His Choice To 'Let The Right One In'
Posted 6/30/09 1:00 pm EST by Christopher Campbell in News
If, like me, you’re a fan of last year’s Swedish vampire sensation “Let the Right One In,” and you’ve been dreading the Hollywood remake, take comfort in knowing that there might not be reason to worry after all. “Cloverfield” director Matt Reeves has been set to script and helm the English-language redo.
While speaking to the LA Times recently, Reeves defended his vision and shared some interesting new information about his personal take on the young vampire love story, about a bullied 12-year-old who falls for the bloodsucking girl next door. "Twilight" this is not, but the comparisons are there to be made nonetheless. Read More...
'Twilight' Meets 'True Blood' In Battle... With Surprising Results
Posted 6/23/09 4:30 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Commentary
FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: If there’s one thing that “Twilight” and “True Blood” fans can both agree upon, it’s that vampires don’t suck — well, they do literally suck, but… ah, you get the point.
No matter which one you’re a fan of, both bloodthirsty franchises have strong support from their viewers. In a lot of cases, those viewers are active in the social media circuits like Twitter and Facebook. And while neither “Twilight” nor “True Blood” tends to edge the other out too badly in terms of online mentions, something very odd occurred to the contrary just last week.

Evan Rachel Wood Happy For 'Twilight' Homies, Eager to Become A Vampire
Posted 4/24/09 10:28 am EST by Larry Carroll in News
The 2003 indie flick “Thirteen” launched formidable careers for three of Hollywood’s current hottest commodities: Catherine Hardwicke, Nikki Reed and Evan Rachel Wood. Half a decade later, Reed and Hardwicke reunited to launch the “Twilight” series on the big screen. But what about the third member of their troubled-teen triad?
This week, we checked in with the 21-year-old Wood to discuss her upcoming Woody Allen movie “Whatever Works,’ and couldn’t help but ask whether she recalled any “Twilight” talk from all those years ago. Read More...
Alan Ball Preps Horror Film, Looks Towards 1930s For Screwball Sex Comedy
Posted 9/29/08 3:26 pm EST by Shawn Adler in News
It's taken Alan Ball nine years after his Oscar win for “American Beauty” to make his way back to the big-screen. Hopefully, it’ll be a much shorter trip the third time around, the “Towelhead” director laughed.
“I have two scripts that I wrote years ago, both of which I still believe in. I’m actually thinking of trying to produce one and not direct and there’s another one that I’d like to direct,” he revealed to MTV News.
Although he insists that for the immediate future he’s focusing on writing the second season of “True Blood,” his vampire series which premiered recently on HBO, Ball thinks it’s possible one or both could become big movies in the not so distant future. So what the heck are they about? Read More...
'True Blood': Our Vampire Neighbors Come Out Of The Coffin and Into Your House, By Kurt Loder
Posted 8/1/08 5:51 pm EST by Kurt Loder in Reviews
Walking down the street a couple weeks ago I passed a poster promoting something called the “Vampire Rights Amendment.” Maybe you did, too. It didn’t register at first -- living in New York, one grows accustomed to all sorts of civic grievance. The next time I encountered one of these posters, though, I went home and looked up the VRA online, and was, first of all, surprised to find it online, and then to discover that it was part of an elaborate, under-the-radar ad campaign for an upcoming cable series called “True Blood.” Okay, I was roped in.
I’ve since acquired the first two episodes of the show, and a considerable amount of obscure information related thereto. “True Blood” is drawn from the eight “Southern Vampire Mysteries” written by Mississippi novelist Charlaine Harris, who among other things, I gather, is a former weightlifter. I mean no disrespect. These books are apparently very popular; naturally I haven’t heard of them before this. They chronicle the unusual adventures of a telepathic Louisiana barmaid (already it’s getting good) named Sookie Stackhouse, whose backwoodsy hometown of Bon Temps is apparently infested with werewolves, witches, shape-shifters and, of course, vampires. In fact, the sheriff is a vampire. In fact, Sookie dates a vampire. Sex abuse and serial killing also crop up, but let’s stick with the supernaturals. Read More...

Danny Boyle Could Reteam With Simon Beaufoy On Werewolf Gangland Drama 'Sharp Teeth'
Posted 2/7/11 2:20 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Commentary, News
BBC America caught up with Beaufoy about his upcoming adaptation of Tony Barlow's comic horror novel "Sharp Teeth" and he explained that if he writes the screenplay well enough, Boyle will direct it. The film will follow the gang wars in Los Angeles except with a twist: these gangs can shape-shift at will into a pack of dogs.
"It's a police procedural mixed with a werewolf film," Beaufoy explained. "If you get it wrong, it's a disaster. If you get it right, it will be extraordinary."
Beaufoy's take on the werewolf genre sounds different than everything we've seen in recent years, but that doesn't mean Hollywood hasn't been inundated with a deluge of werewolf-related films. From "The Wolfman" to "True Blood," werewolves have been repopularized in recent years, and there are just more films to look forward to in the future.
