Lionsgate won the battle to distribute the Eli Roth produced film, The Last Exorcism. If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard of this one before–well, you have. They renamed the film, which was previously titled, Cotton. Personally, I’m not a fan of either title, but I’ll still curious to see the faux documentary feature about a disillusioned minister who lets a film crew record his his last exorcism.
“After a career spent helping the devout through prayer and trickery, Rev. Cotton Marcus invites a film crew to document his final fraudulent days as an exorcist. Soon his faith is truly tested …read more

Nightmare on Elm Street star Robert Englund will guest star in an upcoming episode of the forensic crime-drama series, Bones. The series stars David Boreanaz (Buffy, Angel) as Detective Booth and Emily Deschanel (Spider-Man 2) as Dr. Brennan, whose nickname is ‘Bones’.
Englund will star in a new episode as a janitor at a high school where a murder takes place, according to STYD. The crime actually takes place at Booth’s old high school, which means I’m sure it will be filled with lots of annoying pseudo-witticisms to tell the background story and so on.
I gave Bones a try. It’s really …read more

In March, Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle will begin filming 127 Hours, his adaptation of the true-life story of Aron Ralston (played by James Franco). The film details the hiker’s grueling five-day ordeal while being pinned under a boulder. Anyone forced to amputate their own arm with a dull knife deserves his own movie.
In the meantime, Boyle has his sights set on a stage production of Frankenstein. Screenwriter Nick Pear (Persuasion) has teamed up with Boyle to bring the adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic tale to audiences next winter at the National Theater in London. The play will be filmed …read more

Entertainment Weekly recently interviewed the stars of Twilight: New Moon for their November 13 issue. Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson chat about the usual including Pattinson’s hair. “I sound so stupid, but in a lot of ways the hair is 75 percent of my performance,” Pattinson says. Oy. Here’s a portion of the interview which hits newsstands tomorrow:

EW: How are you all coping with living in a fishbowl?
Robert Pattinson: It really depends on the mood.  When I met you last year [before Twilight came out], I was doing interviews very sporadically and I never got recognized.  Now it’s …read more

Roger Corman, the filmmaker affectionately known as King of the B’s, will be receiving an honorary Oscar for a lifetime of achievement that includes being mentor to some of the most famous names in Hollywood: Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard.
The news was a surprise to the 83-year-old director, who spoke to reporters at New Horizon Pictures: “I predicted that I would not win because I make low-budget films, and I felt the academy would not give an award to someone who made low-budget films.” Corman will receive his award at a ceremony Saturday night along with …read more

Thanks to one of the coolest cats in the Twitterverse (gbyrd13) I discovered a band called Dead Man’s Bones.

Dead Man’s Bones is a collaboration between actors Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields who met in 2005 and became fast friends. They bonded over a shared obsession with spooky stuff and set out to create a …read more
