"New Moon" stars Christian Serratos and Edi Gathegi appear to be taking their conversations about gummi bear attacks off Twitter and over to a private phone conversation, for whatever that's worth. There may be some obstacles between them and this fated phone call, but they sound like they want to strike out against the odds and make it work.
In more substantive tweets, Paris Hilton has a beef with the delayed police response she says her sister Nicky received after her home was broken into Tuesday. Check out what she posted after the jump along with David Wain's take on Tiger Woods' situation, some behind-the-scenes looks at "Toy Story 3" and the "Up in the Air" DVD and James Gunn's cinematographer's impressive gear. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for December 9, 2009.

Two bit of casting news this week: Rashida Jones, the charming and delightful co-star of NBC’s “The Office”, has landed a role in David Fincher’s social networking movie called, well, “Social Network”. She joins a cast that includes Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg, and revolves around the founders of the social-networking website Facebook and their less-than-amicable split.
Aaron Sorkin wrote the script, with Fincher directing.
Over at thriller land, Frank Langella, fresh off freaking people in “The Box”, has joined the international thriller “Unknown White Male”. He joins Liam Neeson, January Jones and Diane Kruger in the film, which will star Neeson as a man who awakens from a coma to find somebody else has assumed his identity. Langella will play Cole, who comes forward as the coma guy’s colleague and gets involved as he tries to reclaim his identity.

10 Examples Of A Pulse In The Modern Slasher
3 December 2009 8:17 PM, PST
| Fangoria
| See recent Fangoria news
»
After the 80's passed it seemed that - for the most part - the slasher craze had finally come to a rest. Successful franchises like Halloween, Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday The 13th had been siphoned beyond emptiness and any intrigue the sub genre once offered appeared dead and buried. Then 1996 rolled around and Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson and Neve Campbell reminded us that good directing, storytelling, and acting is alive and well with the surprise hit Scream.
The next couple of years provided a massive batch of 'fresh' copycats and a handful of Scream sequels. Very few of any are remotely near noteworthy (quick nod to I Know What You Did Last Summer in order to avoid the onslaught of negative commentary from the obsessed Sarah Michelle Gellar fans out there J ), though Scream 2 remains a memorable franchise installment based solely on the unexpected axing of series favorite Randy (Jamie Kennedy) Meeks.

Former "Family Ties" mom Meredith Baxter attracted quite a few tweets when she came out on the "Today Show" this morning. Seth Meyers and Steve Agee, among others, took notice while a few others were still occupied with Tiger Woods.
Kevin Smith has been fielding posts about the title of his movie "A Couple of Dicks," which is getting a new, yet-to-be-determined title. I've included one of his tweets on the subject after the jump along with a former president introducing Jason Reitman's new film, Arnold Schwarzenegger's run-in with George Lucas and Paris Hilton's birthday message to Britney Spears.

"There's something wrong with Esther" reads the tag line to Orphan, the latest offering from House of Wax director Jaume Collet-Serra. Little girls with curly hair and dimples have never been so sinister.

After the death of their unborn baby, Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John Coleman (Peter Sarsgaard) decide to adopt a child from a local orphanage. The couple, who already have two children, take home an angelic nine-year-old Russian girl, Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), who has impeccable manners, a talent for painting, and an archaic dress sense.

Robert Pattinson cleaned up at the box office this weekend, along with the rest of the "New Moon" cast. One of his co-stars, however, would love to get together with him off-screen in the recording studio. The mega-release prompted reactions from Rainn Wilson and Brent Spiner as well today. "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli, meanwhile, tried to create a new vampire with a few photo tricks and a shot of Kat Dennings.
Check out all of that after the jump, along with Ice-t's photo op with the Naked Cowboy, philosophizing from Jim Carrey and Paris Hilton's new exotic pet. They're all on the little retweet mix tape I put together for you in the Twitter-Wood report for November 23, 2009.

Blu-ray Review: Orphan

Orphan is a terrible movie as it knowingly plays into all the horror cliches you can imagine, and does it twice, once to lure you into believing they won't bow down to convention and then a second time to show that they will. The film runs just over two hours, and requires absolute patience from its audience only to completely ruin any expectation you may have had with an ending unworthy of the time you dedicated to watching it.
Oh no, what's going to be behind the kitchen door when she closes it? Nothing, at least not the first time, but watch out that second time. What's going to be in the bathroom mirror when she slides it shut? Again, nothing, but that second time is a doozy.
What's that, the mother had a problem with alcohol and ended up cleaning herself up and has been sober for over a year?

The 'Unknown White Male' Nabs Diane Kruger and January Jones

If I told you the next Dark Castle horror-thriller flick would star January Jones and Diane Kruger, you'd probably be interested. If I told you that the most recent Dark Castle horror flicks were Whiteout, Orphan, and Return to House on Haunted Hill ... you'd probably be a little less interested. But with the presence of two stunning blondes (and a half-decent concept), Dark Castle's Unknown White Male is starting to sound a little intriguing.
According to Variety, Ms. Jones and Ms. Kruger will join the very busy (and very lucky) Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male, which "centers on a man who awakens from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity, and no one, including his wife, believes him." The director is Jaume Collet-Serra, whom the horror freaks may remember from (Dark Castle) flicks like Orphan and House of Wax. The stunning Diane Kruger is best-known for her work in Troy,

Variety reports that January Jones and Diane Kruger have both signed on to star alongside Liam Neeson in the upcoming Dark Castle thriller Unknown White Male . The story centers on a man who awakens from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity, and no one, including his wife, believes him. With the help of a young woman, he sets out to prove who he is.
Jones will play Neeson's wife, who gets caught up in a conspiracy regarding her husband. Kruger will play a Berlin taxi driver and Neeson's unexpected ally. (Funny, thought it'd be the other way around.)
Jaume Collet-Serra ( Orphan , House Of Wax ) will direct from a screenplay penned by Oliver Butcher, Stephen Cornwell and Karl Gajdusek. Joel Silver produces along with Leonard Goldberg and Andrew Rona.

The "last day on the battlefield" that David Slade tweeted about must have ended well, since Christian Serratos tweeted triumphantly that "Eclipse" filming wrapped in Vancouver yesterday. Elsewhere, he co-star Jodelle Ferland struggled with her Twitter icon after accidentally covering up her face with a lemon. Such have been the trials and tribulations in the Twitter world of "Twilight."
Miranda Cosgrove, meanwhile, didn't seem to be struggling with the new pair of glasses she TwitPic'd a look at for her followers to evaluate. Nor did Felicia Day seem to have any trouble with her new Twitter functionality on Xbox Live, which she appears to have installed. Check all of those out, along with some Soupy Sales memorial headlines, Paris Hilton's Hello Kitty diamonds and Emmy Rossum's call for Halloween costume ideas. They're all waiting after the jump in the Twitter-Wood report for October 23, 2009.

One of the horror genre's most recognizable faces, Sid Haig has graced the big and small screens in over 400 projects. Recipient of a Fangoria Chainsaw Award for "Best Supporting Actor" in Rob Zombie's House Of 1000 Corpses, Haig would later receive a "Best Actor" Award for reprising his role as Captain Spaulding in The Devil's Rejects.
The busy actor and Horror Hall Of Famer recently took the time to chat with Fangoria about his long career and the love of his craft.
Jason Anders/Fangoria: So after having appeared in over 50 films and 350 television shows, what do you feel is the role that first defined you as an actor? Also, going back to your childhood, tell me about your decision to go into the industry as a professional actor, and what originally inspired you.
