| Brad Pitt’s ‘World War Z’ Movie On Verge Of Cancellation Even With Promised PG-13 Rating Posted: 22 Mar 2011 06:23 PM PDT  A lot of people seemed to be pretty excited about an adaptation of the Max Brooks novel, World War Z. The book tells the story of a zombie outbreak and the human fight against them told through various first-person accounts of the devastating event. A movie adaptation of the book has been in the works for a long while now with Brad Pitt attached to star and his Plan B Entertainment producing. The script was originally written by J. Michael Straczynski and recently rewritten by Matthew Michael Carnahan, with Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster locked to helm the project. Even with the long developmental period all signs pointed to World War Z being a huge future blockbuster, but now Paramount Pictures is having second thoughts...and they might just call it off completely. Sources are indicating that right now, as it stands, Paramount is excited about the movie but they don't want to risk going all-in without a co-financier. The cost of making World War Z is currently estimated at around $125 million, and they just don't want to throw down that kind of coin without someone else there to sink or swim with them.

| ‘Deadwood’ Star Ian McShane Joins Bryan Singer’s ‘Jack The Giant Killer’ Posted: 22 Mar 2011 05:08 PM PDT  It's being reported that Deadwood star Ian McShane has joined the cast of X-Men and The Usual Suspects director Bryan Singer's upcoming movie, Jack the Giant Killer, which is a brand new take on the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. McShane will play King Brahmwell, ruler of the lands and father to the princess (Eleanor Tomlinson) who is taken by a giant. The princess's capture sees a lowly farm boy (Nicholas Hoult) set off with a team to rescue her, despite the king's dislike of his daughter being so close to someone not of equal standing. The mission also risks breaking a fragile peace agreement between the humans and giants. McShane joins the cast that also includes Ewan McGregor, who's playing the top soldier in the king's army, Bill Nighy and John Kassir who play the two-headed leader of the giants, Fallon, and Stanley Tucci, who's playing an adviser to the king with plans to take over rulership.

| Must Watch: Every Bone Steven Seagal Has Broken In One Video Posted: 22 Mar 2011 02:37 PM PDT  If you've ever seen one of the many action movies starring martial artist Steven Seagal, you know the man is a cinematic legend when it comes to breaking bones. Countless bad guys have tried to dance with the scariest man with a ponytail, and many of them found themselves with at least one broken bone...if not much worse. One of the true joys of the internet and YouTube era is that anyone with a little time on their hands can put together a montage of something great -- certain memorable lines, amusing swearing, or exciting actions -- and that's exactly what Film Drunk did, putting together every broken bone that Mr. Seagal has ever been responsible for. You know you want to see this; be sure to click on over to the other side now, to see the video. [...]      |
| Release Date For ‘The Lord of the Rings’ Extended Edition Trilogy Blu-Ray Posted: 22 Mar 2011 01:39 PM PDT  Earlier this month, Warner Home Video revealed the details for The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition Blu-ray Edition box set. At that time, no release date was given, only that it's be out some time in 2011 or 2012, and that the set was now available for pre-order. Now, WB has announced that this 15-disc Blu-ray set will be released on June 28, 2011. When this set was originally announced, it was titled The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Limited Extended Edition Blu-ray Edition, and the box art reflected that name. The newly released box art (see above) shows that the word "limited" has been dropped and "The Motion Picture" added to it. Either way, it's still a mouthful, but it's worth it! (in my opinion) [...]      |
| Book Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After Posted: 22 Mar 2011 11:55 AM PDT  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After By Steve Hockensmith Paperbook | Kindle Quirk Books Release date: March 22, 2011 Prior to 2009, who would have thought that zombies invading the world of Jane Austen's literary classic Pride and Prejudice would be the break-out hit of the fiction bestseller lists, spawning countless similar monsters-meet-classic novel mash-ups? But that's just what the Quirk Classics tale Pride and Prejudice and Zombies did, so it's no wonder that the publisher decided to delve back into this twisted version of early 19th century England to churn out an original prequel, PPZ: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, as well as a sequel, the newly released Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After by Steve Hockensmith. The trilogy centers around Miss Elizabeth Bennett, one of five sisters, each of whom has been trained in martial arts and are experts at dispatching "dreadfuls," the undead creatures who crave the taste of the living. In the prequel, we learn how the Bennett sisters became the deadly protectors of England that they are; in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Elizabeth must balance her role as a proper young lady in society and her mother's wish for her to find a suitable husband, with her very unlady-like duty to protect her family and countrymen from the hordes of attacking zombies. In the end, Elizabeth snags the most eligible of all bachelors, the well-to-do Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, and the couple live happily ever after... right? [...]      |
