Although Gremlins 3 rumours are still continuing to circulate [1], as of right now, we haven't heard anything concrete about a possible third installment in this classic '80s franchise. The closest we've come to another Gremlins flick is the BT Business commercial [2] that brought them out of retirement last year. A sequel could still happen (and probably will), but in the meantime, a writer by the name of Marc Haimes is apparently offering his own spin on the family-friendly horror adventure genre. According to Variety [3], Paramount has picked up the rights to a spec script written by Haimes called Jitters. The story is described as a "family action pic", and is drawing comparisons to Gremlins. Haimes was a co-producer on The Legend of Zorro, and has a handful of scripts currently in development including a time travel adventure called Family History and a vampire thriller called Elevator Men. Obviously we don't »

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.

Rare is the occasion where the week biggest release isn't a new blockbuster but rather a septuagenarian, but that's the case this time as a young girl from Kanas eclipses anything New Hollywood has to throw at us. This is your DVD Report for Tuesday, September 29, 2009.
Since the advent of Blu-ray, studios have casually mined their catalogues for suitable re-releases, and while the results have often been notable, they're usually nothing to stop the presses over.

Presented in a large hardbound rectangular case, the 70th Anniversary Edition of "Oz" comes as a three-disc Blu-ray set featuring a whopping 20+ hours of bonus content, and is »
