The Return of Jessica Alba?
30 November 2009 10:32 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Sure, some would suggest that Jessica Alba really can't return to form since there never was a form to begin with. But there definitely was a time when Alba was an "It" girl -- the type to grace numerous magazine covers and star in big, flashy films like Sin City and The Fantastic Four. But then her star began to fade as she clumsily starred in one cruddy flick after another (Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck, The Eye, Awake, The Love Guru), and with other, more sensational young actresses attempting to make their mark in Hollywood, Alba sort of fell by the wayside.
But now the gal has positioned herself with a few pretty interesting upcoming projects, including two produced by Robert Rodriguez (Machete, The Insiders), one that's based on a very good novel (An Invisible Sign of My Own) and one that finds the actress taking things farther »

Jessica Alba To Star In Comic Adaptation The Insiders
26 November 2009 2:08 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
After a slew of bad films like The Eye, Awake and The Love Guru, you.d think Jessica Alba would opt to lay low for a bit. I.m not talking off the radar low, but at least out of the spotlight where she can hone her acting skills and establish some sort of positive reputation. Apparently nobody has given her any advice along these lines, because Alba is picking up projects left and right. There.s the third Meet the Parents film, The Killer Inside Me, An Invisible Sign of My Own and, the newest addition, The Insiders. According to ICv2 (via Pajiba), Alba nabbed the rights to bring the Belgian graphic novel series The Insiders to life. Don.t worry, Alba isn.t taking this project on solo, she.s actually in good company with her Sin City director, Robert Rodriguez. Mabrouk el Mechri (Jcvd) will direct and »
Alba and Rodriguez re-team for new comic film
25 November 2009 4:40 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Jessica Alba is to re-unite with Robert Rodriguez in a film based on a series of Belgian graphic novels. Whilst the pair first teamed on the cinematic adaptation of Frank Miller’s Sin City, they are now to respectively star in and produce a big screen version of The Insiders. The director’s chair will, somewhat excitingly, go to Mabrouk el Mechri whose last film, the post modern action flick Jcvd, somehow made Jean Claude Van Damme not only relevant again but, unexpectedly, an art-house darling.
The Insiders focuses on the character Najah Cruz, a “Colombian who is as deadly as she is beautiful.” Armed with the weapons skills of James Bond Cruz must, according to icv2, “infiltrate a worldwide mafia-like organization composed of businessmen and politicians” to become the bodyguard of the organization’s leader.
The Insiders marks one of many projects Alba has lined up at the moment. »

Laura Dern Joins The Fockers
19 October 2009 2:31 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Laura Dern is going to teach those little Fockers a lesson. According to THR, Dern will join Meet The Parents vets Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert DeNiro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson in the third film. Dern will play the headmistress at the kids. school while another newcomer, Jessica Alba, will play a pharmaceutical rep whose heavy dose of sex appeal makes the male characters experience some calamitous side effects. After The Eye and Awake it.s hard to be thrilled by Alba.s casting but Dern on the other hand can do no wrong. I.m Jurassic Park obsessed and therefore completely biased, but I think Dern is a great addition to the cast. The article also notes that Little Fockers is still just a working title and could be subject to change. It.s short, sweet and to the point; why change it? »
Let Me In Casting Confirmed
1 October 2009 3:17 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The saying may be "Father knows best", but in the case of Matt Reeves' upcoming Let the Right One In redux, entitled Let Me In (which happens to be the same name of the novel on which both films are based), it appears that Mother knows quite a bit as well.
Back in July Chloe Moretz's mom posted in vague terms on the IMDb message boards that her young daughter had nabbed the part of vamp girl Abby, and today that report has been confirmed.
Along with Moretz, who is no stranger to remakes, having appeared in both The Amityville Horror and The Eye, THR's Heat Vision Blog states that Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Richard Jenkins (pictured, The Cabin in the Woods and Six Feet Under) have joined the cast as well.
The film follows an overlooked and bullied boy named Owen (Smit-McPhee) who finds love and »

Jessica Alba will meet the parents in 'Little Fockers'
29 September 2009 11:54 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Jessica Alba had a pretty awful 2008. She was already coming off the bomb "Awake" the fall before, but ending up delivering two more duds in a row: the ludicrous thriller "The Eye" and Mike Myer's massive misfire "The Love Guru." After taking some time off to give birth to her daughter Honor (and attend the Clinton Global Initiative last week it seems), the former "Fantastic Four" sex symbol is trying to turn things around.2009 has found Alba has already completing a role in the star-filled ensemble romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," starring in Robert Rodriguez's indie action flick "Machete" and appearing... »

Jessica Alba, Marriage Counselor?
29 September 2009 8:27 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
When casting agents are looking for a young female lead, presumably they have dozens upon dozens of relatively famous young actresses who can star in a movie. So why do they all keep settling on Jessica Alba? According to Production Weekly's Twitter, Alba is in talks to star in First Wedding, Then Marriage, a comedy that will serve as actor Dermot Mulroney's directorial debut. You may remember our report from last May, which announced that Christopher Walken and Blythe Danner had signed on to play the parents of a marriage counselor whose worldview is rocked when they decide to get divorced. Now, Jessica Alba has played some roles that stretch credulity-- a professional violinist in The Eye, for example-- but for some reason marriage counselor seems like the craziest of all. Not to mention the notion of Alba, the child of Mexican and French-Danish parents, playing the kid of »
Whiteout and Not Forgotten (Film Reviews)
10 September 2009 9:16 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Despite minor genre trappings sprinkled throughout both, neither Whiteout (opening nationwide September 11) nor Not Forgotten (beginning a New York City engagement on the 11th ahead of a DVD release November 3) is really a horror film. That hasn’t stopped Warner Bros. from trying to sell Whiteout like one, though what they’re pitching as a literal chiller about a malevolent presence terrorizing an South Pole research station turns out to be a mystery/suspense drama without mystery, suspense or drama.
Kate Beckinsale trades in her Underworld leather garb for a parka to play U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, who’s about to wrap up a stint on Antarctica (which the film helpfully reminds us is “the coldest, most isolated land mass on the planet”). Within the film’s first eight minutes, she and the filmmakers demonstrate that they’ve remembered her fans via a lengthy shower scene, but she has »

Next 'Halloween' Has its Writer/Director
7 September 2009 9:15 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Horror flick editor Patrick Lussier will be the next Halloween director, taking the reins of the franchise from Rob Zombie, whose Halloween II underperformed at the box office.
Dimension Films’ Bob Weinstein had been negotiating with Lussier to write and direct. Now Fangoria is reporting that the former Scream editor, who was also responsible for the Dracula 2000 series of movies and this year’s My Bloody Valentine, will be delivering Michael Myers’ next set of exploits for a summer 2010 release.
Lussier also served as visual consultant on The Eye remake starring Jessica Alba and Darkness Falls.
Slasher movie veteran Steve Miner had been rumored as in the running for the 2010 Halloween sequel, to be titled Halloween 3-D. But the hiring of Lussier makes sense, given that My Bloody Valentine, which performed solidly at the box office, was also released in 3-D.
Halloween II lost out on horror movie audiences to Final Destination, »
'Buffy' Flick Gets Revived (Sans Whedon!)
26 May 2009 9:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The original Buffy was a silly early '90s flick featuring Kristy Swanson, dreamy Luke Perry as her Bf Pike, Rutger Hauer as the bad vamp about town Lothos, a post-Pee Wee Paul Reubens as one of his henchmen, and Donald Sutherland as a told-ya-so! dude named Merrick who warned her she was a predestined kicker of vampire ass. Blink-and-miss-it cameos include Hilary Swank, Ben Affleck, gossip columnist Liz Smith, David Arquette, and Ricki Lake. Really.
Now Buffy is getting a 21st century transfusion with help from the original director Fran Rubel Kuzui and producer Kaz Kuzui to create "what is being labeled a remake or relaunch, but not a sequel or prequel," according to Hollywood Reporter. So with that very oblique description in mind, it looks like this will be a sort of different incarnation of Buffy -- a different vampire "warrior" for a different generation. One with "franchise potential, »

New trailer, release details for Not Forgotten
5 May 2009 2:02 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Anchor Bay Entertainment sent along the link to a new trailer to herald the theatrical release of its supernaturally tinged thriller Not Forgotten, starring Land Of The Dead and The Mentalist’s Simon Baker. You can check out the preview below.
Directed by feature first-timer Dror Soref from a script he wrote with Tomás Romero, Not Forgotten stars Baker as a man whose search for his abducted daughter (The Eye’s Chloe Moretz) takes him through the darkest corners of Mexico, where he encounters much worse things than swine flu—including a death cult called Santa Muerte. Paz Vega, Michael DeLorenzo, Ken Davitian, Claire Forlani and Mark Rolston co-star; the behind-the-scenes talent includes Dp Steven Bernstein, production designer Craig Stearns (a veteran of genre fare going back to John Carpenter’s Halloween and The Fog) and composer Mark Isham. The movie’s big-screen play includes Friday, May 15 openings at the Mann Chinese 6 in Hollywood, »
Rise: Blood Hunter (Tribeca Flashback Review)
21 April 2009 7:21 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
“Even if you hate the movie, it’ll still look great,” said Rise: Blood Hunter writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez, introducing his film’s world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival and acknowledging the contribution of double-Oscar-winning cinematographer John Toll. As it turns out, I disagreed with both parts of that statement to different degrees; Toll’s images are good if unremarkable, and Rise itself, belying its long stint on the shelf, is a swift, efficient B-movie that doesn’t go anywhere surprising, but makes the trip an entertaining one.
Gutierrez (who previously scripted and helmed cable’s The She Creature, wrote Gothika and contributed to the screenplays of Snakes On A Plane and the remake of The Eye) gets Rise’s ball rolling with an attention-grabbing sex-and-violence sequence. He then jumps back six months to reveal how Sadie Blake (Lucy Liu) was transformed from an ambitious reporter digging into the »
No Sequel to 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D'
20 April 2009 12:39 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Despite its surprising box office success upon its release, "My Bloody Valentine 3-D" won't be getting a sequel treatment. Breaking the news, as reported by Shock Till You Drop, was the horror remake's director, Patrick Lussier, himself during his panel at the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in Los Angeles.
On the occasion, the filmmaker who serves as visual consultant on Jessica Alba-starring "The Eye" reportedly claimed that Lionsgate "has no intention of developing a sequel at all". It is further noted that the studio prefer to leave the remake film, which has scored big in its opening week with $21.2 million, as a one-shot deal.
"My Bloody Valentine 3-D" itself is a horror thriller movie directed by "Scream" editor Patrick Lussier. Starring Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, Kerr Smith and Edi Gathegi, it centers on Tom Hanniger. Ten years after he caused the terrible accident in the coal miner that led »

Battle in Seattle (review)
18 March 2009 9:35 AM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
I’ve never been much impressed with Stuart Townsend as an actor, but with Battle in Seattle, his first film as writer-director-producer, I have enormous new respect for him as an artist and storyteller. Battle in Seattle, just out on DVD in Region 1, interweaves actual news footage of the explosive 1999 protests against the World Trade Organization in that city with fictional characters and fictional melodramas to tell a story that we see all too rarely these days: of the clash of corporate and political institutions with individuals striving to reduce their overarching might; of the political as personal; of conscience and passion as powers that can change the world. Battle is an uncommonly passionate film itself, which is even more remarkable as it becomes clear how evenhanded Townsend is as a filmmaker. It’s obvious that he empathizes, for the most part, with the anticorporate stance of the protesters, but he doesn’t demonize, »

Last House's Dennis Iliadis Helming Cure Thriller Next
13 March 2009 10:23 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
I finally caught a screening of the new Last House on the Left remake this week, and more than anything enjoyed the style that Greek director Dennis Iliadis brought to it. That visual style is certainly his strength as a director, but the question is will it actually work well if the story isn't up to par. Iliadis (seen above) has signed on to direct a thriller called Cure. The story is about a man who sends his wife for an experimental treatment to save her from a terminal illness. Although she returns completely cured, she is suddenly infected with something "more terrifying." The script was written by Beau Thorne of only Max Payne. What I'm trying to say is that the story in Cure sounds a bit lackluster. This isn't the first time I've made a comparison to Jessica Alba's The Eye this week, and that's because these »

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Remaking Roger Corman's X
11 March 2009 11:10 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, best known as the guy who directed 28 Weeks Later, has been hired by MGM to develop a remake of Roger Corman's 1963 horror film X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes. The original starred Ray Milland as a scientist who is close to achieving a breakthrough in x-ray vision technology when his funding is cut off. Desperate to show results, the doc applies the eye drops to himself eventually loses control over his growing powers. It's not exactly one of Corman's greats, but it is certainly one of his classics, and I'm actually very excited to see Fresnadillo rework for modern times. Of course, the first recent horror movie about eyes that comes to mind is Jessica Alba's The Eye, but I don't think this will be anything like that. The Eye was a remake of a Chinese horror movie, not a Roger Corman classic. »
