DRIVE is one of those films that needs to be seen in theaters and should not be missed. At the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Drive was lauded with praise and even received a standing ovation. Reviews from critics have been positive, with many drawing comparisons to work from previous eras. Film is due out on September 16, 2011.

Bestselling Novel "The Finest Hours" Being Made Into Film By Disney Pictures

While the summer dealmaking has tapered off in the dog days of August, a big one went down yesterday. In a deal worth high-six against seven-figures, Walt Disney Pictures acquired a package to make a movie out of the bestselling book The Finest Hours , with Oscar-nominated The Fighter scribes Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson to write the story of a daring Coast Guard rescue off Cape Cod in 1952. The project was set up through Jim Whitaker's Entertainment and he will produce with Dorothy Aufiero, who worked with the writers as the original producer of The Fighter. Published in 2009 by Scribner, the Casey Sherman and Michael J. Tougias-authored book tells the story of a Coast Guard rescue undertaken after two oil tankers were torn in half by treacherous waves during a deadly nor'easter blizzard. There were four rescue efforts, including two undertaken by a handful of men on two old, wooden, motorized 36-foot lifeboats. The men understood they had no business fighting frozen gale w...

Like Crazy Full Trailer

Paramount Vantage has released the trailer for the Like Crazy . The film was directed by Drake Dormeus and stars Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence and Charlie Bewley . This has been one of the most talked romantic films in years. Like Crazy is a love letter to long distance relationships, a more realistic version of Going the Distance for a slightly younger crowd. Show me this movie a year ago, and I guarantee I wouldn't have connected with it as much as I did now, and that's because I'm going through something similar in my own life. This movie is deeply personal: if you've ever had an intense relationship torn apart by distance, it's impossible not to relate to it; if you've never experienced something like that, it will likely leave you cynical and put off. It's pure in its emotions and technically proficient in translating them to the big screen. The cinematography was gorgeous, the score was moving, and the writing was spectacular...

Cut Loose With The Second Footloose Trailer

If you were looking forward to the remake of Footloose we have the second trailer for the film. There isn't much to say but WHY? Watch the trailer after the Jump... Writer/Director Craig Brewer (“Hustle & Flow,” “Black Snake Moan”) delivers a new take of the beloved 1984 classic film, “Footloose.” Ren MacCormack (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont’s local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister’s troubled daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough) in the process.

Sony announced last week that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 would be released on May 2, 2014, before they even have any idea whether we like the first film in the rebooted franchise. But that's not all Marvel has in store for us in 2014. Disney announced today it would be releasing TWO more Marvel movies in 2014—one on May 16, 2014, two weeks after the coming Spidey sequel, and another on June 27, 2014—but they're not saying a word about just which superheroes will be invading theaters two summers from now. By then, we'll have seen Avengers (May 4, 2012), Iron Man 3 (May 3, 2013) and Thor 2 (July 26, 2013)—so where does that leave us? WIll it be time for a return of one of the superheroes we've already seen on screen, maybe a Captain America 2 ? Or will we get to see someone new, like Dr. Strange or the Guardians of the Galaxy ?

Did Howard Stern Leak "Super 8"

In a bizarre development that I can only imagine will be very embarrassing to Sirius XM's morning man Howard Stern , a bootlegged copy of the JJ Abrams-directed Super 8 has shown up on content-thieving websites. The print is watermarked with the Paramount Pictures logo , and " H Stern " in the right-hand corner. Film companies and networks like HBO routinely personalize advance screeners to safeguard against piracy. There is widespread speculation the leak came from a DVD sent to the show. I see that already, the Sternfannetwork.com features an "over/under" asking commenters to decide if Stern got $50,000 for posting the film. That is preposterous. Stern receives advance screeners so he can talk knowledgeably about upcoming films he likes, and because he does superb interviews with directors and stars. He will be upset if his show breached a trust with Abrams, a longtime friend who once thrilled Stern's daughters by putting them on his series Felicity. Th...
