After 'New Moon,' What's Next For Vampires?

20 November 2009 11:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

As so many of the other posts here on MTV Movies Blog today already did today, I'm first going to remind you that "New Moon" is now in theaters. See, it's kind of a big deal. And as you might imagine, we have vampires on the brain as a result.

Now even the most rabid Twilighter will tell you that Stephenie Meyer's series isn't for everyone. The phenomenon has definitely grown beyond the core audience of teenage girls, but there are still those who prefer to see their blood-suckers swimming in entrails and terrorizing and unknowing public. Well we've got you covered. Really it's Hollywood that has you covered; I'm just here to give you an update. In the coming year and beyond, there are quite a number of vampire movies coming out, catering to a variety of audiences. Two more "Twilight" movies sure, but what else? Hit the »

Michelle Pfeiffer To Vamp It Up For Amy Heckerling?

18 November 2009 7:34 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

On Sunday The Film Experience's Nathaniel Rogers brought me along to a dinner in honor of (500) Days of Summer, where both the cast and writers and director were on hand to schmooze with various writers and industry people who have the power to influence the movie's Oscar chances (let me be clear, I was just a guest-- no one thinks that of me). While Nathaniel and I didn't wind up eating alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt or anything, we did luck out and somehow sit down at a table with Amy Heckerling, the Clueless director who also recently directed Nathaniel's favorite actress, Michelle Pfeiffer, in the straight-to-dvd I Could Never Be Your Woman. While that movie didn't work out so well release-wise, Heckerling is already at work on her next project Vamps, which follows two female vampires looking for love in modern-day New York.

Exclusive Buzz: Pfeiffer with Pfangs

17 November 2009 6:57 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Rumor Alert!

Or, rather, 'Possiblity Alert'! And one you haven't heard yet. The other evening at a dinner party, I chatted briefly with writer/director Amy Heckerling (of Clueless fame). Since her very last feature I Could Never Be Your Woman starred Michelle Pfeiffer, you know I couldn't resist gushing about my favorite actress. The conversation quickly drifted to Saoirse Ronan, who played Pfeiffer's daughter in that film. Heckerling was very proud to have discovered her (...Woman preceeding Atonement, production-wise) and wouldn't you be?

Leaving the party later, I wished Heckerling well on her new comedy Vamps which should go before cameras in the spring. Remembering me as that weirdly obsessed pfan-guy, Heckerling clasped her hands together in supplication and said 'I hope I get Pfeiffer for it.'

[Collective Pfan Gasp!]

Has an offer gone out? Could Pfeiffer finally have a vampiric role? The movie is still in preproduction with only Kristen Ritter signed. »

Michelle Pfeiffer To Vamp?

17 November 2009 5:15 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

While Twi-mania reaches a fever pitch this week, Amy Heckerling is quietly in pre-production on her own vampire venture called Vamps. The Parly Films rom-com is slated for a 2010 release and has already cast Krysten Ritter, but the Clueless writer/director is hoping to also snag her I Could Never Be Your Woman lead Michelle Pfeiffer. For those interested, Vamps is described as a "modern-day tale of two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality."

Amy Heckerling Taking on a Romantic Comedy with Vampires

9 November 2009 4:08 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

With all the complaining and frustration I've expressed with adaptations and remakes in recent news, I'm even more disgusted by anymore projects dealing with vampires. However, a part of me is curious about ScreenDaily's recent announcement that Amy Heckerling (of Clueless) is working on a romantic comedy with vampires aptly titled Vamps, a story that focuses on two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality. As long as the vampires aren't glittering, emo-hipster sissies, then we should be good to go on this one. Krysten Ritter (last seen in Confessions of a Shopaholic) will be one of the vampires with additional casting underway and Parlay Films hoping to start production in March 2010 with Ben Stiller's Red Hour Films producing. I'll admit that the premise isn't all that engaging, but »

Heckerling's vampires

9 November 2009 1:25 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

I suppose there are a few questions you could still ask about the vampire genre: What hasn't been done with it yet? How many movies will just have a small twist on the same theme? And will it end some time? Not with Clueless director Amy Heckerling, who's planning her own female-fronted bloodsucker romcom called, appropriately, Vamps. The story is a "modern-day tale of two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice... »

Amy Heckerling's 'Vamps' Takes A Seat On The Hollywood Crush Casting Couch

9 November 2009 11:30 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

From MTV.Com: What if Cher Horowitz had been a vampire living in New York City instead of a well-intentioned Beverly Hills fashionista? As if! No, seriously. Amy Heckerling, the writer-director of the beloved 1995 film "Clueless" is the latest to sink her teeth into the genre with a new romantic comedy called "Vamps."

ScreenDaily.com is reporting that the film is "a modern-day tale of two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardise their immortality." Krysten Ritter ("Breaking Bad," "Confessions of a Shopaholic") has been cast in one of the roles, meaning it's time to take a seat on the Hollywood Crush Casting Couch to find her bloodsucking bestie. After the jump, check out who we like for the role:

‘Clueless’ Director Amy Heckerling Jumps on Vampire Bandwagon

9 November 2009 9:06 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

As if! Director Amy Heckerling -- whose credits include 80s/90s faves Clueless and Fast Times at Ridgemont High -- is jumping in with the likes of Twilight and True Blood, taking on a vampire franchise of her own. According to Screen Daily, Heckerling is currently attached to the developing project Vamps, a romantic comedy about two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each is forced to make a choice that may jeopardize their immortality. It's certainly a different take on the current vampire craze, one that sounds like it could be delivered with a lighter touch. The film is set to star Krysten Ritter (pictured above), who has appeared in such films as Confessions of a Shopaholic and on various television shows (Veronica Mars, Breaking Bad). As much as this vampire movie craze annoys me, there is no denying that Amy Heckerling has made some fun »

Clueless Director Amy Heckerling Now Officially Part of the Vampire Craze with Romantic Comedy Vamps

8 November 2009 11:28 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

As far as filmographies go, Amy Heckerling has a weighty selection of hits among her misses. In addition to the fantastic Clueless, she also gave us Fast Times at Ridgemont High, European Vacation, and the first two Look Who's Talking movies. While the quality of the latter two films is debatable, at least they made money, which is more than you can see for her recent string of films which include The Loser, and the direct-to-dvd I Can Never Be Your Woman (which /Filmcast guest Richard Kelly quite liked). We've now caught wind of her latest project, and it's quite honestly the last thing I want to see right now: A vampire romantic comedy, entitled Vamps. Apparently, it will "be a modern-day tale of two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardise »

Right now on Cinematical

8 November 2009 8:30 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

The folks at our sister site Cinematical are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:

Con: Another vampire movie. Pro: It involves Clueless director Amy Heckerling and Krysten Ritter from Veronica Mars and Breaking Bad. I'm so conflicted! Good thing Ian McKellen is so graceful, otherwise, he probably would have drop-kicked Elisabeth Hasselbeck during his recent appearance on The View. Is it just me, or does The Men Who Stare at Goats look amazing? See if it lives up to the hype by reading Cinematical's review. Cinematical takes a look at some of the best and worst biopics, and I really enjoy the ones on the "best" list. Of course, I also love a few on the worst list, like Evita. »

Amy Heckerling Gets Vampy with Krysten Ritter

7 November 2009 12:33 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

I hope you don't hate vampires, because they don't seem to be going anywhere. Now Amy Heckerling, the woman behind Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless, is getting in on the bloodsucking. According to Screen Daily, Parlay Films has grabbed the international rights to an upcoming romantic comedy called Vamps, that Heckerling will write and direct.

"The film will be a modern-day tale of two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality." Krysten Ritter will star as one of the lead vamps, and they're still searching for the other bloodsucker. This marks a big jump from the actress, who has moved from bubbly side gigs on shows like Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars to some cinematic supporting roles, a lead gig in the web series Woke Up Dead, and »

Parlay Films Buys Rights to Heckerling's Vamps

5 November 2009 3:01 PM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »

According to Screen Daily, Parlay Films has bought all international film rights to Amy Heckerling's forthcoming horror comedy Vamps at the American Film Market.  Heckerling is more known for her coming of age comedies such as Fast Times At Ridgemont High and Clueless than horror fare, so it'll be interesting to see how she does with a romantic comedy about young, attractive vampires. 

Screen Daily says that actress Krysten Ritter is already attached to the project, which should start filming in March, 2010.

Afm: Amy Heckerling Not Clueless About Vamps

5 November 2009 12:27 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Director Amy Heckerling of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Clueless, and those damned Look Who's Talking flicks is ready to throw her hat into the blood-sucking arena with the new film Vamps.

According to Screen Daily Parlay Films has acquired all international rights to the romantic comedy Vamps, which will be written and directed by Heckerling.

The film will be a modern-day tale of two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize her immortality.

Krysten Ritter (pictured right) is on board as one of the female leads with additional casting under way. If the name sounds familiar, it's because she's also one of the stars of Jon Heder's new web series "Woke Up Dead" that we reported on recently.

Judging from her previous work, I wouldn't be looking for this flick »

Buzz Break: A Randy Pair

· Before Randy and Evi Quaid went on the run, they sent Nsfw, scandalous pictures of themselves to a Seattle newspaper. They're an irregular Bonnie & Clyde, those two!

· Jessica Simpson has Tweeted her thoughts on the Ashlee-firing Melrose Place: "who writes this crap?i have had bad scripts to work with,but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press."

· Joss Whedon wrote a comical bid for the Terminator franchise, and it's just...well, if you still love Joss Whedon, you might want to spare yourself the wheezing effort expended.

· "It took me a long time to live down Clueless," confesses Jeremy Sisto. "Now it's different...And at a certain point, all those kids who loved Clueless grew up and became hot women."

· Is this more embarrassing than the white boy rap Matthew Morrison's frequently made to do on Glee? »

Silverstone Interview Interrupted By Black Out

28 October 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Alicia Silverstone was given an early Halloween spook during a TV appearance on Tuesday when a power failure plunged a Los Angeles studio into darkness in the middle of her interview.

The Clueless star was promoting her new book The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight and Saving the Planet on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson when a loud bang sounded and the lights cut out.

But Silverstone simply laughed off the mishap as presenter Ferguson joked about the situation with the audience, and they finished filming with a flash light.

The black out, which struck Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, has been blamed on high winds which swept across the city, causing numerous power failures throughout the day. »
