'Flight of the Conchords' Will Fly No More After months of speculation, the quirky HBO comedy series' co-creators Bret McKenzie, Jemaine Clement and James Bobin broke the news on their Web site. "We've noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won't be returning for a third season," they wrote. "We're very proud of the two seasons we made, and we like the way the show ended." Weaving story line and original songs, combined with the fact that the trio continues to reside in their native New Zealand, makes "Conchords" difficult to produce, prompting speculation over the past few months that McKenzie, Clement and Bobin would not return for a third season. The show's second season earned a best comedy series nomination and a best actor nom for Clement. Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

Twilight's New Moon Bootleggers Get Charges Dropped Charges have been dropped against a 22-year-old Chicago woman accused of videotaping part of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" at a movie theater. Cook County prosecutors on Friday announced in court that they won't pursue charges against Samantha Tumpach. Tumpach was arrested Nov. 28 in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont and faced a felony charge of illegally copying the film. She had about three minutes of "New Moon" on her digital camera. Tumpach has said she was taping her sister's birthday party and wasn't trying to record the movie. The film's director, Chris Weitz, came to Tumpach's defense . He told the Chicago Sun-Times there's a difference between trying to protect a copyright and prosecuting someone who didn't mean to commit video piracy. Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

Ghostbusters 3 Spoiler Sigourney Weaver Spills The Slime Channel 4 news in the UK recently did an interview with Sigourney Weaver to talk about the upcoming James Cameron film Avatar. During the interview she started talking about Ghostbusters 3 So here is what Weaver had to say: Don’t know if I’m going to be in it, I have had a couple of calls asking "would you read the script." To me it looks like she has already taken a look at the script. I know that my little son Oscar, who was kidnapped from me… I think he has grown up to be a Ghostbuster. Oscar was the little baby in Ghostbusters 2 that was kidnapped in the film. I might be in it, I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don’t think I will have a big part. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it… he’s a ghost. What Dr. Peter Venkman as a ghost? What happened? Did they kill him off and he returns from the dead. Can not wait to hear more news on this film. Please Leave A Comment- Source-UKChannel4

Avatar Getting Encouraging Feedback About The Film Avatar screened last night in London for members of the press and US screenings started this morning. I saw the film first thing today, and embargo keeps me from saying anything about it. Twitter has been fairly quiet, with those who’ve seen it abiding by the embargo so far. But some UK outlets don’t care as much about the embargo, and there is already a full-fledged review in The Sun and some useful comments in The Guardian. The Sun’s ‘review’ is typical for the paper — thin and shallow. But it is quite exuberant. “The final battle scene is 20 minutes long and absolutely mind-blowing,” the paper says. “It is overwhelming, and that is because you are emotionally tied up in the characters and the story.” The Guardian is more interested in preserving the embargo, but does pass along a couple of rumor-busting notes that are very much worth paying attention to: “And there have been a lot of rumours…Rumours that the 3D effects were making

Lauren Kate's "Fallen" To Be Made Into A Film Does this sound like Twilight? Do we need another film and novels to drive the women crazy. Isn't Twilight enough? And I am fine with Twilight I enjoyed the first movie, and yes I haven't seen New Moon yet. What could be dreamier for a young girl than having sparkly vampires and cute werewolf boys fighting over her? How about having two fallen angels fighting over her for centuries? Disney's betting on the latter, having just optioned Young Adult author Lauren Kate 's novel "Fallen", the first in a projected four-volume series, that has just that premise, The novel, which just came out this week from Delacorte Books for Young Readers, centers on a 17-year-old girl named Lucinda, who just like Isabella "Bella" Swan from Twilight has a name that is shortened to something nice and Latinate with an implied deeper meaning, "Luce." Luce goes to the Sword and Cross School, where she mee

Josh Brolin To Star In Men In Black 3? Josh Brolin could be going from "W." to K. Now he may be adding "Men in Black 3" to that estimable list. The actor is being considered for a role that would have him donning the black suit and shades for the third installment of the sci-fi comedy franchise. His exact part is a matter of discussion, but in recent days there's been chatter in Hollywood development circles of a few possibilities: He could play a new single-monikered government agent, with Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K passing the baton to Brolin's character. Or he could play Agent K as a young man. Or something else entirely. Whatever the part, Brolin could be playing against some star power: Will Smith is expected to return in the new "MIB" as Agent J. It wouldn't mark the first time J ran missions with someone else. In the second film, his character briefly chased aliens and erased memories with other partners before Jones' Agent K came

Twilight's Bryce Dallas Howard Explains Taking Over the Role Of Victoria "Twilight" fans are notoriously fickle when it comes to the actors chosen to bring their favorite Stephenie Meyer character to life. In fact, it's now the stuff of "Twilight" legend that following the announcement that Robert Pattinson's would be portraying brooding vampire Edward Cullen, online petitions circled feverishly, decrying the British actor's participation in the saga. A similar uproar occurred last July, when just weeks before production was to begin on the third "Twilight" installment "Eclipse," Bryce Dallas Howard replaced Rachelle Lefevre as villainous vampire Victoria due to scheduling conflicts. Howard revealed that the prospect of taking over the role Lefevre originated in both "Twilight" and "New Moon" was a bit daunting. "It was actually a really unfortunate circumstance where the actress who everyone really cared

James Cameron Weighs In On Terminator Salvation Cameron sat down with MTV News- "I have seen it, and unfortunately I saw it the wrong way, on cable at the hotel, while I was working, over three nights because I don’t have much time," Cameron said. "It’s better than I thought it was going to be." Back-handed compliment much? But Cameron went on to praise McG and his creative team for their efforts while also noting that the movie was missing some essential elements that made the earlier films such classics. "It's actually quite reverential to the mythos of the 'Terminator' world," he said. "I think McG and the writers tried hard to keep reacquainting you with some of those ideas in the story that they were weaving. So actually I thought it was pretty cool. I did feel that it sort of lacked Je ne sais quoi. Although I love Sam [Worthington] in it. " No surprise there, considering Cameron has made Worthington the star of his 3-D alien lo

David Lynch Turned Down Return Of The Jedi. I Had No Interest There's a bit of little-known Star Wars trivia that George Lucas once asked David Lynch to direct the third movie in the trilogy, Return of the Jedi, but I don't think we've ever heard Lynch himself describe his meeting and why he turned it down in quite this way. Until now, in the video below. At a seminar last month at New York's Russian Tea Room, sponsored by the Hudson Union Society, the director of Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive talked about the James Bond-like arrangements he had to make to meet with Lucas, how he reacted when he saw a Wookiee for the first time and why Lucas shouldn't be driving a Ferrari. "George is kinda short, and so ... his seat was way back, and he was almost lying down in the car, and we were flying through this little town in Northern California," Lynch said. "I had next door to zero interest," Lynch says at one point, adding later: "I could hardly

MTV's "Jersey Shore" Losing Advertisers I am an addict of reality shows and this one caught my eyes the other night. I could not believe people talk and act like this. But I didn't change the channel. I watched the entire show and want more. And so does my buddy Lil Jerry that is all he talked about at work today was this show. And I talked to Sandwichjohn staff member Hammer who is from Jersey and he confirmed there really are people like this out in Jersey. WOW. The ruckus over MTV's "Jersey Shore" is getting as intense as the hot-headed dramatics on the show. The controversial new reality series chronicling a spirited group of self-described "guidos" living in a New Jersey beach house has drawn protests of increasing volume from critics. Now it appears calls for a boycott are having an impact. The Italian-American group UNICO (the same group that protested HBO's "The Sopranos") has asked members to complain to MTV's adverti

Kate Bosworth Gets Lost And Loves Hotels "Young Victoria" director Jean-Marc Vallee has found his next project: "Lost Girls and Love Hotels." Kate Bosworth is attached to star and is also producing with Relativity Media. Nadia Conners wrote the screenplay, which adapts Catherine Hanrahan's 2006 novel. The story centers on a woman (Bosworth) who tries to forget her past while working in Tokyo as an English specialist at a stewardess training institute by day and losing herself in a sex- and drug-addled oblivion by night.

Deadpool Film To Be Written By The Writers Of Zombieland ? The Deadpool movie has been slowly, quietly been percolating over at Fox, and recent days may have seen some important developments. While nothing is official just yet, it looks like Fox could be hiring Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers of Zombieland, to script the adventures of the Merc With A Mouth. I did my due diligence and asked around but couldn't get a solid confirmation, so regard this one as a strong rumor. But if it's more than a rumor - and my source tells me there could be a trade break announcing this within days - it's actually a very good sign for Deadpool. While the character was sorely abused in X-Men Origins: Wolverine - seriously, sewing his mouth shut? It was like a personal 'fuck you' to fans of the character - bringing on the folks who wrote Zombieland points to a funny tone that better suits the character. Between Ryan Reynolds insisting that Deadpool would break the fourth wa

Spider-Man 4 Anne Hathaway and John Malkovich To Star In Film No matter the superhero franchise, when it comes time to make a sequel, people mainly want to know one thing: Which villains will be in it? Currently, fans are trying to crack the mystery of Spider-Man 4’s bad guys; rumors and speculation had it that every actress in Hollywood was trying out for the sexy villainess Black Cat, or that Dylan Baker’s Curt Connors would finally get to transform into the Lizard in this installment. Now, though, Movieline has confirmed with sources close to the film that Raimi’s sequel is circling John Malkovich and Anne Hathaway to play Spider-Man’s adversaries, and neither evildoer is quite what you might have expected. If negotiations proceed according to plan, Malkovich will be playing Spider-Man’s nemesis the Vulture, who packs a punch despite his advanced age. The Vulture is able to fly through the air and brandish his sharp wings to attack Spider-Man. As for Hathaway, that’s where things ge

We [are] trying as hard as we can to still meet the summer deadline though, so for the moment its still on for August." However, we're still hearing a release push is going to happen, but hopefully Jovovich is right. Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich have been working hard on the fourth installment of the "Resident Evil" franchise a.k.a. Resident Evil: Afterlife, planned as the first movie in the series filmed using 3D technology. It looks like it's going to take a little more time to make that movie then they had planned, because ShockTillYouDrop.com has learned that Screen Gems has pushed the movie back until January 14, 2011.

The Hobbit Rumors Cleared Up Since producer Peter Jackson announced that he would make two films from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, we've wondered whether he'll split the book in two or make the book the basis of the first movie and use the second to bridge The Hobbit with The Lord of the Rings. Well, he cleared it up for us over the weekend: The two movies will be based solely on the book, even though the films' director, Guillermo del Toro, had suggested the latter approach. "The second Hobbit script is still based on the Hobbit novel," Jackson said in a group interview Sunday in Beverly Hills, Calif., after a press conference for The Lovely Bones. "The Hobbit novel is in two parts." The Hobbit tells the story of a young Bilbo Baggins' quest for a treasure guarded by the dragon Smaug. In the more youth-oriented adventure, Tolkien established the world of Middle-earth, where he later set his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Whereas each of the Lord of
