'Pirates 4' Director Rob Marshall 'Excited' To Work With Johnny Depp
19 November 2009 10:17 PM, PST | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
'He's incredible, as an actor and as a person too. So I know it'll be a great experience,' 'Chicago' director said of his lead actor.

When "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" was announced for a summer 2011 release, fans went wild. Then the project hit rough waters following the departure of studio chief Dick Cook, a big supporter of "Pirates" star Johnny Depp. The Jack Sparrow actor subsequently expressed hesitation about continuing with the series.
Still, the project sails forward. Depp's not a lock until he signs off on the script, which he hasn't yet seen, but Captain Barbossa actor Geoffrey Rush told MTV in late September that he's been told to keep his schedule open for cameras to roll next spring.
And before any of that took place, »
Rob Marshall Confirmed for Pirates of the Caribbean 4
17 November 2009 1:06 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What began as a rumor back in July of this year has finally been confirmed by director Rob Marshall, who spilled the beans on his involvement with Pirates of the Caribbean 4 while holding a DGA screening of his latest film, Nine. Marshall will replace director Gore Verbinski, who steered the ship on the first three Pirates films, which cleared over a billion dollars in domestic box office receipts combined. According to a tipster at AICN, not only did Marshall confirm that he's on board, but he also said that he's looking forward to working with Johnny Depp. Here's a clipping from the report: I just saw the DGA screening of Rob Marshall's latest movie, Nine tonight and stayed for the Q & A after, so I thought I'd write in to share my thoughts. First, let me just get the Huge scoop out of the way: when asked about his next project (by Nora Ephron, who »

Original "The Ring" Director to Hear "Voice From the Stone"
7 November 2009 10:35 AM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
Hideo Nakata is set to direct the supernatural thriller "Voice From the Stone." Nakata directed the original Japanese version of "The Ring" ("Ringu") and the English sequel "The Ring Two" starring Naomi Watts.
Mark Wheaton ("The Messengers," "Friday the 13th") has written the screenplay based on an Italian novel of the same name. The story revolves around a female child psychologist who takes on the case of a young boy who made a promise to his dying mother. The promise? He will remain silent until her spirit returns. Tan dan dan...
Nakata is the perfect choice to helm this project. "Voice From the Stone" has a strong female character and a perturbed young boy at its core, much like "The Ring" films with Watts' Rachel protecting her young son Aidan (David Dorfman). »

The Ring’s Hideo Nakata Hears Voice From the Stone
6 November 2009 8:01 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Japanese director Hideo Nakata is most famous for directing the original versions of the “Ring” movies, or “Ringu” as its known overseas. He loved directing ghost ladies who climb out of TV’s so much, he returned to the franchise in 2005 to direct the sequel to the American version starring Naomi Watts. (And, I suppose, the nice paycheck didn’t hurt, either.) With “Ring” still apparently popular (though I suppose that’s open to debate), Nakata is currently attached to direct the third entry, which is scheduled for 2011. Before that, though, Nakata is helming “Voice from the Stone” for Zanuck Independent. Based on an Italian novel of the same name, “Voice From the Stone” was adapted by Mark Wheaton, and tells the story of a female child psychologist who takes on the case of a young boy. Nothing creepy there, right? Not so fast, my friends. You see, the hook »

Let Me In Starts Production
3 November 2009 4:40 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Let Me In, the American remake of the Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In, starts production today, transporting the coming-of-age tale from the cold and blustery Stockholm, Sweden to the dry and hot Albuquerque, New Mexico. Director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) is returning to the source material for Let the Right One In, the Swedish novel of the same name by author John Ajvide Lindqvist, to help inspire the story about a young boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee from The Road) who befriends a mysterious new girl in town (Chloe Moretz from the upcoming Kick-Ass), who happens to be a vampire.
With Richard Jenkins already cast as Moretz's caretaker, the new cast additions announced are Elias Koteas as the policeman, Cara Buono (The Sopranos) as Smit McPhee's mother, and Sasha Barrese (The Hangover) as Virginia, the character who survives a vampire attack in the Swedish original.
Reeves intends to pay homage »

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 2
27 October 2009 10:57 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Before I launch into the conclusion of my 50 Influential Scream Queens (read part 1 here), please let me remind you that this list is based upon my personal taste, and my personal taste alone. I didn't poll 100 Fango readers, the Fango staff or any other form of 'industry professionals'. It's all opinion, so if you feel I've wronged a certain actress by excluding them from the list, don't leap to brand the entire Fango crew 'vile'. I probably just don't personally find their work to be that influential. Either that or I'm just ignorant to their accomplishments!
25. Mia Farrow: Mia's genre work may be a bit limited, but that doesn't change the fact that Rosemary's Baby will forever be regarded as one of the creepiest films in history. Farrow's portrayal of Rosemary Woodhouse is harrowing to say the least, and will always remain (in my mind) one of the best performances the genre has seen. »

Eastwick's Sara Rue On Her Own Facebook Movie, Acting Politics and Being Harassed by Andy Dick
21 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Although she is best known for her work in Less Than Perfect and Popular, Sara Rue has built a comprehensive resume dating back to her starring role in NBC's Grand and a Roseanne cameo as a younger version of the star, blockbuster parts (Pearl Harbor, The Ring) and the occasional reality appearances (Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, E! Hollywood Hold'em). These days, Rue plays Eastwick's most suspicious resident -- the younger, spunkier Gladys Kravitz of ABC if you will -- while developing her own feature film and scouting her next sitcom gig. Movieline spoke to Rue two weeks ago about all of this and Andy Dick as her dogs barked in the background. »
Fall Frights: The Ring (2002; Film Review)
20 October 2009 12:48 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.
Originally published, 10/25/2002
What were the chances?
The Ring at first seemed like one of the least promising projects of the Halloween film season: A U.S. remake of a Japanese cult classic that hasn’t been given a chance to prove itself Stateside, directed by a filmmaker whose résumé is made up of comedies. Yet The Ring stacks up as the most satisfying studio horror film of the fall season. Unlike, for handy example, Brett Ratner’s Red Dragon, Gore Verbinski’s movie honors its predecessor and recaptures what made it so effective while also giving the material its own stylistic identity, and adding new material that doesn’t compromise the whole or feel gratuitous.
The U.S. Ring has as spare a mood as the original, »

Lists of Doom Xxvii: Skillet's "Monster" List
14 October 2009 3:22 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Greetings Fango Fiends! It's time once again for another installment of Fangoria Musick's Lists Of Doom - the column where we track down some of your favorite (or soon-to-be favorite) bands to get their thoughts on on the world of horror, and which films scare them.
For our 27th feature, we caught up with John Cooper, Lead Vocalist & Bassist of Skillet, the Grammy-nominated band that recently released Awake on Atlantic Records. A certified connoisseur of pop culture with "an irrational love for comic books, Star Wars, and mostly all thing science fiction", it was time for Fango to pick his brain to find out what he digs on the Horror side of life. After all, with a new single and video called "Monster", there had to be something brewing beneath the surface, right?

One of the best movies of all time! Favorite director, Ridley Scott. »

Orci and Kurtzman Not Returning To Write Transformers 3
7 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (The Island, The Legend of Zorro, Mission: Impossible III), after writing the first two, will not be returning to the script duties for “Transformers 3.”
Orci made a post on the Don Murphy forum saying he and Kurtzman won’t be involved with the third film. That means that Ehren Kruger (Scream 3, The Ring, The Ring Two, The Brothers Grimm), who also worked on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen script, will be going it alone on part three, laboring under the iron fist of director Michael Bay.
Orci wrote,
“He (Ehren Kruger) really did his homework. He’s awesome.”
Director Michael Bay recently confirmed that plans were in motion for a Transformers 3 and that he and actress Megan Fox would be returning.

Naomi Watts has been named the world's most profitable actress in Forbes's latest list. The ranking, which is named the 'Best Actresses for the Buck', was created to show which movie stars make the most money in the box office. The 41-year-old Australian actress, who has starred in films such as The Ring and King Kong, apparently makes $$44 for every dollar she is paid for films. The runner-up (more) »

Bankable actress Naomi Watts
6 October 2009 5:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Naomi Watts is the world's most profitable actress. The 'International' star has topped Forbes.com's latest Best Actresses for the Buck list after proving movie bosses can make the most money from her. The 41-year-old beauty - who has also starred in 'The Ring', 'King Kong' and 'Eastern Promises' - helped the box office rake in an estimated $44 for every $1 she was paid for her last three major films. The list's top spots are notably filled by many actresses willing to accept a lower salary than A-list stars like Angelina Jolie - who was named Hollywood's highest-earning actress by Forbes earlier this year. 'Blood Diamond' actress Jennifer Connelly, 38 - who previously won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, »
Transformers 3 confirmed for 2011

Michael Bay has confirmed on his website a summer 2011 release date for “Transformers 3.”
Bay claims they have a “great Transformers 3 story” and that he’s currently en route to Rhode Island with screenwriter Ehren Kruger (Transformers 2, Blood and Chocolate, The Brothers Grimm, Ring I, II) to chat up Hasbro and figure out which new robots will make their way into the third installment
Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.
Today is Day One. This morning started with an Ilm meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I’m flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.
P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under »

Who are the Greatest All-Time Scream Queens?
16 September 2009 12:49 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
With this week's release of Jennifer's Body it is inevitable the topic of scream queens will come up, and even if it doesn't... I'm bringing it up, but not in the form of a top ten. I really don't see how you can rank these ladies, or what purpose it would serve as several could take the top spot and the others all coming in a close second. They all bring a little something special to each of their films and remain memorable for their performances. So I present you a selection of classic scream queens, including all-timers such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh and Fay Wray, a few of my own favorites and a selection of memorable extras at the very end. However, once you look through my list tell me who I left off and who your favorite scream queens are. I think I've taken care of many of the obvious choices, »

Before You Die, You See The Ring... In 3D?
14 September 2009 2:04 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The 3D craze is giving dormant franchises an excuse to churn out another film installment. The 3D technology is remarkable, but as the sophistication of visual presentation increases, the quality of the film seems to decrease. According to Bloody Disgusting, The Ring could be next in line to receive the 3D treatment. The Ring wound up pulling in just under $250 million worldwide and The Ring Two opened in the number one spot at the box office, so making a third film was inevitable from a financial standpoint. I bet the massive success of The Final Destination in 3D sealed the deal. When you think about it, some of the scenes in the original films might have benefited from an extra dimension. Normally I.d say a third film would only happen if Naomi Watts was attached to reprise her role, but we.re talking 3D here. When you.ve got »
'The Ring 3' Coming in 3-D?
12 September 2009 9:27 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
It should come to pass that The Ring franchise is finally decided in a third film. After all, it was supposed to be a trilogy - much like its Japanese inspiration - but the second movie was such a letdown that all the momentum the series had was stopped in its tracks.
Bloody Disgusting says there is talk of reviving The Ring, perhaps as a 3-D flick. And with the success of The Final Destination, which is the biggest entry in that franchise, dusting off the Samara story can't be the worst idea in the world. I think we'll need a new Samara, however: Daveigh Chase was 11 when the first movie was filmed and now she's 19. Dead girls don't age. »

'Wild Things' Banners, 'The Ring 3D,' Megan Fox Slams Continue and More

Photo: Warner Bros. Warner Bros. sent over four new character posters for Where the Wild Things Are. You can check out the small versions above or click here to view the larger versions in the gallery. I'm sure most of you read the comments Megan Fox made about her Transformers director, Michael Bay, comparing him to Hitler. Well, some of Bay's crew members sent in a letter to the director's official site, which was reprinted, leading me to believe he has given the comments a thumbs up. Here's a snippet: We've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies," the letter says early on. [Note: the grammar ansd phraseology are weak so I've cleaned up certain portions.] "We [work] in different departments, and can't give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work.

The Ring 3 May Also be in 3-D
12 September 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
The last time we heard any talk about a new "The Ring" installment is back in January of 2007, when producer Roy Lee revealed that the plan is to hold off from making another movie for a few years and then return to the franchise "with a new fresh story." It is now almost three years since he has said that and today comes word that talks regarding "The Ring 3" have started, mostly because producers realized that developing a new movie in 3-D could mean big numbers at the box office. At this point, there is now word regarding the plot, but it sounds like the studio may develop a prequel in a similar fashion to the Japanese film "Ring 0: Birthday." »
More 'Corn' to be Harvested
8 September 2009 4:50 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Don’t stick a pitchfork in Children of the Corn just yet; Dimension Films is looking to do a new adaptation of the original Stephen King short story.
Fangoria reports that screenwriter Ehren Kruger has been hired to write the upcoming film. Children of the Corn had previously been adapted, most notably as a 1984 New World film starring Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), which spawned several sequels released direct-to-video by Dimension.
Apparently, Dimension head honcho Bob Weinstein wishes his company had handled the original movie as well. "We felt the New World film was a missed opportunity," he told Variety. "If you read the short story, it’s got such a strong feeling to it and there’s this religious overtone to it as well."
Children of the Corn is set in a fictional Nebraska town, where a demonic entity known as "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" entices the children »
