Straight from Cinema Blend's fiercely independent entertainment reporters.

We just aren’t the powerful movie launch pad we once were, sad as that has become to admit. ![]() Uma Thurman Campaigns Against Gay Rights For Anita Bryant Biopic Bryant was a one-time singer and a Miss Oklahoma beauty pageant winner who made headlines later in her life by adhering to her strong, anti-homosexual Christian beliefs and fighting in public to repeal an act in Florida that prevented discrimination against sexuality when hiring for open jobs. ![]() Chloe Moretz And Asa Butterfield Making The White Circus A Hugo Reunion The film will be the first feature directed by the Canadian duo Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, who created the Oscar-nominated short Madame Tutli-Putli and the Maurice Sendak adaptation HIgglety Pigglety Pop! Of There Must Be More to Life.

But let's consider. ![]() Damian Lewis And Andrea Riseborough Team Up In Romantic Drama The Silent Storm The Silent Storm would be the first feature film for Corinna McFarlane, whose 2008 doc Three Miles North of Molkom was nominated for a BAFTA for Best British Documentary. She would direct from a script she wrote. ![]() Seann William Scott To Play A High School Counselor For Guidance Looking at Seann William Scott's American Pie character Steve Stifler, it's not exactly easy to picture him playing a guidance counsellor at a high school, but on the other hand, maybe that makes him a perfect pick for such a role in a comedy. Scott will star in Myriad Pictures' high school comedy Guidance.

Wilson about Nolan taking over Bond 24. ![]() Gerard Butler Replaces Liam Hemsworth For Sci-Fi Thriller The Raven The short showcases special effects over story, but it’s still an exciting 6 minutes of watching a guy with strange telekinetic powers hiding from the law in a future that sees autonomous drones flying through the sky, connected to a huge mothership hovering above the city. ![]() Godzilla Set Video Marks One Year Until Its Release Date It’s exactly one year before Godzilla’s May 16, 2014 release, and he says they’re about halfway through the shoot. So that you means you can expect still images from the teasers of the trailers that Godzilla will rain down upon us. ![]() Terry Gilliam Takes Small Part In The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending “Off at dawn tomorrow to pretend to be an actor in the new Wachowski’s (sic) film Jupiter Ascending. It’s a small but vital part (or so I’m told).” Not that much is known about the film’s plotline anyway, so we could know his name and occupation and still have no idea who he is. ![]() Star Trek Merchandise Fights Stopped J.J. Abrams From Building A Massive Trek World Licensing and merchandising rights debates mired Bad Robot and Paramount in legal battles with CBS about what elements from Star Trek canon could be used … and which couldn’t. In fact, these hostile negotiations blocked Abrams from turning his 2009 reboot of the series into a multi-platform entertainment experience. ![]() The Hangover Part III Red Band Trailer Takes A Trip Down Memory Lane With the movie so close to its release date it's a bit strange to see a new preview that has such a huge chunk of its run-time dedicated to showing clips from previous films in the series, but considering that Part III promises to be the conclusion, it's somewhat nostalgic to look back. ![]() |
