Craig Gillespie To Direct ‘Fright Night’ Remake
If you grew up in the 80s like I did, you might remember a horror film called Fright Night. It was announced last year that a remake to the classic 80s comedy/horror was in the works. FilmShaft.com is reporting that Craig Gillespie is set to direct DreamWorks’ remake.

Conan O’Brien Working Towards Deal With Fox
Though Fox has always been viewed as the most likely destination for Conan O'Brien, there have been and remain some obstacles to overcome before anything is finalized. Today an executive from Fox confirmed that the two sides are working on a deal with a representative of O'Brien stating "we'll get there".

Because of the desire to provide the absolute best audio and visual transfer the DVD and Blu-ray c...

He also is lined up to star as Dracula in Dracula: Year Zero. With such a busy schedule already, and an Avatar sequel sometime down the line, it makes it difficult to imagine him taking on another potential franchise.

‘Titanic’ 3D Release Coming In 2012
Everything being released these days is a re-boot or in 3D. Now, we can add older movies being re-released in 3D thanks to James Cameron. According to the USA Today, Cameron will convert one of the highest grossing movies of all-time, Titanic, to 3D. When asked about Titanic, Cameron said "We're targeting spring of 2012 for the release (of a 3D version of Titanic), which is the 100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship." This is quite different from what he said just last month when...

Another Name Being Considered For Captain America
Having passed the self-imposed deadline of March 1st for deciding who will get the role of Steve Rogers aka Captain America, the rumors continue to swirl with yet another new name added to the list of those seen as final candidates.
