Watchmen’s Jackie Earle Haley who is set to play the new Freddie Krueger in the “Nightmare on Elm Street” remake, confirmed that he has signed on for two more sequels in an interview with bloody-disgusting.com. So that’s three in total.
The first remake is set to hit theaters April 16,2010. The film will also features the “New Moon” and “Twilight” star Kellan Lutz as the character of Dean who will fall victim to a quick death before the opening credits role to get the audience interested. So he won’t be sticking around as much as he does in the “Twilight Saga” films,but at least he gets to be in a classic horror production.
According to reports, writer-director Kevin Williamson has been working on a another trilogy that would bring the horror film, “Scream” that graced the big screen back in the latter part of the 90’s, back along with many of the original characters from the movie. It is also reported that Kevin Williamson has approached Courtney Cox Arquette and David Arquette to return and star in the remake.
No one has currently signed any deals as of yet, as right now there would be scheduling conflicts that could get in the way. Courtney Arquette currently has a show called “Cougar Town” that got picked up by ABC.
Michelle Morgan has been hired by Twentieth Century Fox and Lakeshore Entertainment to write a new version of the 1985 teen, comedy flick, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” which starred, Sarah Jessica Parker,Helen Hunt,and Shannen Doherty. They are currently looking to get teen superstar Miley Cyrus to star in the remake.The producers of the film will be Lakeshore’s Gary Lucchesi and Tom Rosenberg.
The Plot of the film centered around two girls who shared a passion for dancing and the hit show, “Dance TV”. It also featured the then hit song by Cindy Lauper, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”.
The extremely funny star of the 2007 hit comedy, “Superbad” movie, Jonah Hill has been given the control by Sony Pictures to remake the classic “21 Jump Street” film. It was originally a tv show back in the 80’s that starred actors, Johnny Depp and Holly Robinson. Jonah is going to be writing and producing the “21 Jump Street” remake. He said that his version is going to take a more comedic tone, but it won’t be strictly comedic. They’re also doing a full on action movie with a lot of blowin sh** up.
My sources say that he was approached by Sony Pictures because they wanted a funny take on “21 Jump Street” so Jonah has decided to make an R-rated,insane ,Bad Boys meets John Hughes type of movie.
The Cw has released another promo for their new ‘Melrose Place’ remake coming this fall.This time it’s a full 3 minutes and 17 seconds of footage. It’s split into three parts. In the first clip we see the son of Michael Mancini , David Breck (Shaun Sipos) checking up on Sydney (Laura Leighton) who has apparently been drinking. She tries to feed him a sob story about how when she first moved there, things were better,and that she wishes he had known her then. She tries to convince him that a past relationship they had was real. Then she throws the blackmail card at him over things he shared with her in the past so she can make romantic advances towards him,and get him to stay.
This just in. The original director of the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” franchise is currently working with Roy Lee and Doug Davision of Vertigo Entertainment to create a remake movie of the popular tv show that graced the WB and UPN tv networks from 1997-2003. Right,now they have not included the popular creator,Joss Whedon in on it yet. They are not ruling out his involvement. They just haven’t included him in on it yet. I hope they do,though. I can’t imagine a “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” movie without Joss as the producer.
Apparently Fran Rubel Kuzui of Kuzui Enterprises held on to the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” rights since the beginning when she discovered the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” script from the then unknown Joss Whedon in 1992.
The people over at People.com recently sat down with the entire cast of CW’s new ‘Melrose Place’ to interview them all together. The new cast includes : Katie Cassidy,Colin Egglesfield,Stephanie Jacobsen,Jessica Lucas,Michael Rady,Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (I didn’t even know that was her at first),Shaun Sipos,Laura Leighton, and Thomas Calabro.
That cute girl, Jessica Szohr who plays Dan’s longtime friend, Vanessa Abrams on the CW’s hit show, “Gossip Girl” is now branching out into movies. She is reported to be cast.in the remake of the 1978 horror flick, “Piranha” in 3D. The movie is about a small town being terrorized by a prehistoric man-eating razor-toothed fish.
It will be directed by Alexandre Aja who directed the “Hills Have Eyes” remake. Jessica Szohr will play Kelly who is a cute, young, college girl all caught up in the coed party scene for spring break. Or in other words she’ll probably be fish bait for Mr. “Piranha”. Hey, somebody’s gotta be the bait,right?
Other stars that are slated to be in this movie, is the classic Elizabeth Shue,Ving Rhames,and Adam Scott. “Piranha” will begin shooting later on in May 2009,and the release date will be March 19,2010.
