Plot: Forrest starts out teaching little Forrest the alphabet, but when his son brings home an F on his report card, Forrest scolds him “Remember what I told you, Forrest. A is for almond shrimp, B is for Barbeque Shrimp, C is for Coconut Shrimp, D is for Dumplings and Shrimp, E is for…”

More REC news means more REC
Both [REC] movies have proven to be huge worldwide hits. [REC] and [REC]2 have successfully entrenched themselves as some of the best horror films to be released in the last decade – not a small feat for a Spanish horror movie. If there’s any firm indication for its success it would be the fact that it got a Hollywood remake in the form of Quarantine (which is a pale imitation of the original). With success like this, you know you’ll be getting more [REC] in the future. [Read more…]
Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver reveal Ghostbusters spoiler
With interest in the proposed new Ghostbusters movie heating up, everyone’s trying to weigh in on the movie. Of course, interest won’t be complete without speculations as to what will be included in the movie.
One of the more crucial plot points in the new movie was more or less confirmed by two of the actors in the first two Ghostbusters movies — Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver.
Weaver was actually getting Ghostbusters questions during her press tour for Avatar and she finally revealed the info that Bill Murray was teasing people with. She revealed that in the new sequel, her son is all grown up now and is now also a Ghostbuster. She said she may be involved with the movie even if it’s just a small part but Bill Murray will have a little more in terms of screen time — because he will play a ghost in the new movie!
Bill Murray as a ghost is going to be awesome. I’m already sure he’s going to be a scene stealer. Just look at his cool cameo in Zombieland.
Paranormal Activity sequel to be released this year
With Paranormal Activity raking in millions — $151 million, to be exact — It’s almost a given that a sequel will be made, never mind that movies like these were not really made to have a sequel.
According to reports, a sequel is already being prepared and Kevin Greutert, the director of Saw VI. Michael Perry will be writing the script.
The sequel looks like it’s also going to be a quickie production with Paramount eyeing October 22 — OF THIS YEAR — to release the movie. Oren Peli, the director of the original movie, will be the producer, along with Jason Blum.
Peli has reassured fans of his movie that the guys who are going to make the movie “get it” and that fans will not be disappointed. We’ll really have to try to take that with a straight face. If you guys remember, another super low budget independent horror movie made with a shoestring budget made millions when it was released, which prompted people to release a sequel that sucked so much it killed the whole “franchise.” That movie was The Blair Witch Project. Good luck on these guys and their delusions.
The Hobbit to be moved to 4Q 2012
I’m pretty sure that a lot of people are eagerly anticipating the film adaptation of The Hobbit. Count me in as one of those people. I’m a huge Tolkien fan so It’s already a given but with the adaptation to be directed by Guillermo del Toro, who is one of my favorite directors, my excitement for the movie has doubled.
The initial release schedule for The Hobbit was already pegged for December 2011, and that’s just a little less than two years away. But then, this is Hollywood and schedules are sometimes meant to be broken. According to Warner Bros., it looks like The Hobbit will only be ready by the last quarter of 2012. A full year after the initial 2011 scheduled release.
Where does the movie — two of them, actually — stand in terms of its work schedule? The script for the second film is still being finished by Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Del Toro. Only after this has been submitted and approved would a budget for both movies be locked in along with the start of casting.
Looks like we’re in for a longer wait, Tolkien fans.
