Trailer for Secret JJ Abrams Project Debuting With Iron Man 2
When the trailer for Cloverfield arrived from out of nowhere while attached to Transformers it created a ton of buzz that ultimately carried all the way to a big opening for a movie which had no big name stars. That trailer didn't even include the eventual name for the movie, instead just throwing up the release date at the end. It was extremely effective as rarely can anything coming from Hollywood surprise audiences in the way that did these days. Cloverfield was created and produced by J...

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3D Sequel Coming
Though A Nightmare on Elm Street was universally panned it was able to pull in $32 million its first weekend. That made it the biggest opening for a horror film ever in the April-May months.

The $32 million is certainly very good, but the film's internal mutliplier suggests that it is going to drop like a rock over the c...

Anchorman 2 and Zoolander 2 May Be Dead
After a period where they both looked likely to happen, sequels for two films that built cult followings on DVD now appear to have their fates in serious question. Both Anchorman 2 and Zoolander 2 are facing trouble due to budgetary concerns. Late last week Anchorman director Adam McKay tweeted an update on the state of the sequel that he and Will Ferrell had been hoping to achieve. Paramount passed on it despite attempts to reduce the budget for the film. Paramount owns the rights to Ancho...
