Trouble in Watchmen Paradise? 20th Century Fox suing Warner Bros. over rights to film "Watchmen" film. Truth stranger than fiction again?
FilmBuzz
:
"With enough toilet humor and shlocky gore, Gallic horror spoof "Vampire Party" satisfies as shamelessly campy entertainment." [Variety]
FilmBuzz
:
Poor Tom Cruise: industry giving him vast grief for "Valkyrie", film about plot to assassinate Hitler.
FilmBuzz
:
Oscar contender "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" buzz is that it's too darn long to release. But edit's done. Hmmm...

@FilmBuzz

@FilmBuzz
I won't tell anyone,I did too.Saw it 3 times @ the theater. DiCaprio/Winslet chemistry did it 4 me....should b good in "Rev Road"

@KellyGingery
I hear that they're still editing it, but I have high hopes that "Revolutionary Road" will be dramatic + enjoyable.

@FilmBuzz
Have you seen "Revolutionary Road" already?I've read a lot about it & I'm really looking forward to it.DiCaprio, Winslet & Mendes.
FilmBuzz

Wilson movie "The Rocker" released this week and ... I just don't give a hoot. Does anyone want to see this movie? Maybe a yuck or two?

FilmBuzz
:
Well worth watching when it comes out: "Revolutionary Road", which pairs Leo DiCaprio with Kate Winslet for first time since Titanic.
FilmBuzz
:
Big news in kids film: Columbia has hired Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander to adapt first book of Stine's Goosebumps. A franchise?
FilmBuzz
:
Remake of "Fame" set to start filming in November, exteriors in NYC, interiors in LA. Director = Kevin Tancharoen.
FilmBuzz
:
Backing up a bit, Simon Pegg isn't available for "Inglorious Bastards" because of his role in the upcoming Star Trek movie.
FilmBuzz
:
Remember the "Spy Hunter" movie that's been in the works for quite a while? It appears that it lost its director, Paul Anderson.
FilmBuzz
:
Casting change at Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards" set: Simon Pegg is out, Samm Levine is in.
FilmBuzz
:
Lots and lots of ads for Babylon AD. Still, looks incredibly aggressive / in your face, even for a Vin Diesel film.
FilmBuzz
:
Though I am sure that the sf/x of the water tube creature is the same used in Terminator 2. Same f/x house, perhaps?
FilmBuzz
:
Interesting how many visual sf/x become obviously layered CGI on an MPEG video signal. Ends up kinda cheesy, not thrilling like in theater.
FilmBuzz
:
Some TV news: character actor Laurence Fishburne has joined the cast of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

1 banana 2 banana 3 banana 4, 5 bananas make a bunch and so do many more. Yeah. It's seared into my brain.
FilmBuzz

@davincideb
from the 3D preview before Journey, looked like Fly Me to the Moon was a headache inducer. Did you enjoy the 3D effect??
FilmBuzz
:
Beware! Warners launching remake of "The Banana Splits" TV show from the 60s, mostly on Cartoon Network. Gadzooks, I remember that show.
FilmBuzz
:
Cumulative overseas box office for animation: Wall-E = $146.2mil, Kung Fu Panda = $363.5 mil. Indy Jones Skull = $465mil. Big numbers!

@FilmBuzz
went to Fly Me to the Moon yesterday with grandkids.They loved it.Definitely kids movie but
FilmBuzz
:
Mummy: Dragon Emperor doing far better overseas than domestically: 70% of gross from overseas, cume of $196.6mil. Foreign 3x domestic?
FilmBuzz
:
Film project goes into turnaround: "Voltron: Defender of the Universe". Anyone know what "turnaround" means, in H'wood parlance?
FilmBuzz
:
John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein working on rewrite of "Burt Dickenson, Most Powerful Magician On Planet Earth". Interesting title

@FilmBuzz
"They Live" with Roddy Piper...that movie has one of the best fight scenes ever :)
FilmBuzz
:
Nachmanoff's "Traitor" gets a very lukewarm review by Variety, is compared to Syriana, still "provocative thriller"
FilmBuzz
:
Weekend box office, so far: Tropic Thunder $26mil, Dark Knight $17mil, Clone Wars $15.5mil
FilmBuzz
:
All time USA box office top five, as of this weekend: Titanic (1997), Star Wars (1977), Dark Knight (2008), Shrek 2 (2004) and ET (1982).
FilmBuzz
:
and I'm also partial to "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" which has one of the best dance numbers evern put to celluloid too.
FilmBuzz
:
Actually I have to admit "On The Town" is on my top ten movies list, it's a WONDERFUL example of 40s musical whimsy, with a fab cast.
FilmBuzz
:
I was watching a bit of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" this morning too, with Sinatra and Kelly. VERY similar to On The Town, not as good.

@conniegreen
"Father Goose", holy cow, haven't seen that in a long time. Danny Kaye, right? Brilliant actor!

@filmbuzz
- went fishing yesterday 'Father Goose' style - the restaurant didn't see us but we still let the fish go
FilmBuzz
:
George, George, what will you think? Tropic Thunder beat Star Wars Clone Wars at box office yesterday, w/ $8.2mil one day.
FilmBuzz

@searchguru
Why so many remakes? Risk avoidance: When you spend $30-$100 mil on a movie, untried concept/property can be scary!
