Wes Craven to Direct ‘Scream 4′?
Back in November the first details of Scream 4 were revealed, but we weren't sure if Wes Craven would direct the film. MTV caught up with original Scream cast members Courtney Cox and David Arquette at The Golden Globes, where the two shared some more details of the upcoming film. Both weren't on the same page though when it came to a confirmation. Asked if Craven would return to direct Scream 4, Arquette had this to say: “Yes, Wes is in, Neve is in, everyone is in.†"I can't...

While the Globes are voted on by the Hollywood Foreign Press they are still seen as an indicator of the upcoming nominations and potential winners at the Academy Awards as well. I went through each categ...

Michael Bay Talks ‘Transformers 3′
Even before Transformers hit theaters we knew we could expect massive explosions, dazzling special effects, and a not so in-depth story. That is usually the recipe for a Michael Bay film, and the first two Transformer movies were no different. Will that be the case for Transformers 3? Not according to director Michael Bay.

Weekend Box Office Predictions 1/15
The first threat to Avatar's reign at the top of the box office arrives this weekend with The Book of Eli. Also new for the weekend is the Jackie Chan comedy The Spy Next Door while The Lovely Bones expands wide after showing in very limited release for the last month. The last few years have changed the perception of January as being a dumping ground for studios. The Book of Eli looks to take advantage of an opening by providing the star-power of Denzel Washington and a story that will app...
