MTV Greenlights SCREAM TV Series, Wes Craven In Talks To Direct Pilot
THR is reporting MTV has given the green light for an hour-long pilot based on Wes Craven’s SCREAM. Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, the duo behind MTV’s popular TEEN WOLF series, are producing. Craven is in negotiations to helm the pilot. Kevin Williamson, who famously exited SCREAM 4 midway through production due to “creative differences” with the Weinsteins, isn’t expected to be involved.
With the last film having underperformed at the box office (effectively killing any hopes of a new trilogy) and horror TV shows carving up the airwaves (THE WALKING DEAD, BATES MOTEL, HANNIBAL, TEEN WOLF, HEMLOCK GROVE, SUPERNATURAL, AMERICAN HORROR STORY, ZOMBIELAND, GRIMM, BEING HUMAN, and Williamson’s own THE FOLLOWING and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES), it really shouldn’t come as a surprise SCREAM is heading to television.
What is a surprise is Craven’s possible involvement which could be good or bad. On the good side, Craven might be able to bring some of that big screen mojo to the small screen and infuse this series with just enough violent verve to make it worth watching. On the not-so-good side, Craven could phone it in and deliver a dippy teen romance that happens to have a body count. It could really go either way.

Check Out New Trailers For HATCHET 3, THE PURGE, NO ONE LIVES, YOU’RE NEXT
Blood, blood, and more blood. That’s all I got from the incredibly NSFW red band trailer for BJ McDonnell’s HATCHET III. Well, that and visual evidence Zach Galligan (Billy from GREMLINS!) is alive and well. Where’s that dude been for the last twenty years?

Remember “Paperman”, the Oscar-winning Disney short that cleverly combined computer-generated and hand-drawn animation to tell the tale of a beautiful woman, a lonely man, and his paper airplanes? Of course you do. If you don’t, don’t worry, I’ve included it after the jump along with a NSFW alternate ending. Click on the pic to check it out…

DAREDEVIL Is Officially Back With Marvel
Kevin Fiege confirmed to Newsarama at an IRON MAN 3 press junket Monday that the rights to the DAREDEVIL franchise have reverted back to Marvel Studios.
Considering Fox is the studio that bungled both the 2003 film adaptation with Ben Affleck (they forced director Mark Steven Johnson to trim the hard R violence and dark subject matter and replace it with goopy romance and Evanescence tunes) and 2005 spin-off ELEKTRA (Jennifer Garner was good, the film was not), I see the rights reverting back to Marvel Studios as nothing but a good thing.
Considering Fox is also the studio that wasted nearly seven years attempting to trying to reboot a character they clearly had no idea how to reboot (their most recent attempt would’ve had David Slade and Jason Statham headlining as Matt Murdock / Daredevil and possibly Vin Diesel co-starring as Kingpin), I see the rights reverting back to Marvel as nothing but a good thing.

GAME OF THRONES Collides With Marvel In First THOR: THE DARK WORLD Teaser
Are you ready to check out the teaser trailer for THOR: THE DARK WORLD? You better be because it’s below, nearly a week in advance of its big screen debut in front of IRON MAN 3, and it is MIGHTY. Not only does this two minute slice of geeky goodness give fanboys and girls quick, but cheer-worthy, glimpses at all the returning cast members — love that jealous look Sif (Jamie Alexander) gives Jane (Natalie Portman) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has transformed himself into a Asgardian Hannibal Lecter — and their first good look at Dark Elf king Malekith the Accursed (Christopher Eccleston) but it also shows off the gritty new vibe GAME OF THRONES helmer Alan Taylor has infused into the franchise.

First Look: Jamie Foxx As Electro In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2
When news first broke that Jamie Foxx had been cast as Electro in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, I worried. Not whether or not Foxx was a good fit (Foxx, BOOTY CALL and STEALTH notwithstanding, doesn’t tend to disappoint with his performances) or if he was capable of playing a villain (his first) but about wwould the filmmakers force him to wear spandex or not.
Strange worry, I know, but spandex has a way of breaking even the most talented of actors. If you don’t believe me, just look at what happened to Ryan Reynolds in GREEN LANTERN. Or don’t. That flick is a bit of a clusterf*ck.

KICK-ASS 2 Scores An Official Synopsis, Three Trailers, And Character Posters
Apologies for the five month disappearance but that is unfortunately what happens when health and personal issues team up to take a guy down. I won’t bore you details because, well, they’re boring, not worth getting into, and nowhere near related to movies, television, video games, girls, or pop culture. Let’s just say things have turned around and I’m ready to get back to ranting and raving.
First up: KICK-ASS 2. After months of Twitter teases and spy pics, Universal Pictures has finally decided to deliver some NSFW promo material for director Jeff Wadlow’s highly anticipated sequel in the form of an official synopsis, three trailers (red, green, international), and a rather large collection of character posters.

GANGSTER SQUAD Character Posters And Trailer: No Names, No Badges, No Mercy
Warner Bros has released six posters, nine banners, and a sweet new theatrical trailer for Rueben Fleischer’s THE GANGSTER SQUAD.
Originally set to hit theaters this past October, SQUAD was, due to the events of the Aurora shooting, pushed to January 11th, 2013 so the finale, a shoot-out in a movie theater, could be removed and reshot. Reshoots took place last August and bits of the new finale, which now takes place in Chinatown, can be glimpsed in the new trailer.
Broken Record: I’m still not sure what to think of this flick. Part of me — the part that loves old-school “cops VS gangster” pics – hopes/thinks director Rueben Fleischer (let us love ZOMBIELAND and forgive 30 MINUTES OR LESS) and his absolutely fan-f*cking-tastic cast (Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Michael Peña, Frank Grillo, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Patrick, Nick Nolte, and a red hot Emma Stone) will knock this one out of the park and deliver the next L.A. CONFIDENTIAL or THE UNTOUCHABLES. That would be awesome.
The other part of me — the part that gets nauseous when Hollywood attempts to make the old-school gangster genre “hip” by favoring a hot young cast (see THE BLACK DAHLIA and MOBSTERS), a hip-hop soundtrack (I really hope the music cues in the trailer are temporary) and gobs of flashy visuals (see PUBLIC ENEMIES, HOODLUM, and ROAD TO PERDITION) over a solid, non-derivative script — is concerned SQUAD will end up being an equally unsuccessful rehash of 1996’s MULHOLLAND FALLS which, outside of some wonderfully gratuitous Jennifer Connelly nudity, wasn’t all that great to begin with. That would be less awesome.
