Rose Byrne May Reunite With Melissa McCarthy In Susan Cooper

October 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Rose-ByrneIt’s gonna be a Bridesmaids reunion, as TheWrap reports that Rose Byrne is in talks to reteam with Melissa McCarthy and director Paul Feig for the action comedy Susan Cooper. No deal has been made yet, but it’s all expected to come together.

The film has been described as a James Bond-inspired spy comedy, but with a female lead. While Feig is known for broad comedy, Susan Cooper isn’t a parody, but is instead said to be a realistic comedy, which is heavily influenced by Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale.

The film is said to centre on two lead characters, McCarthy will be the title character, although it’s not known what Bryne’s will be called in the film. Jason Statham is said to be circling the project as well.

Susan Cooper is being set up as a potential franchise. It won’t shoot for a while yet though, as cameras aren’t set to roll until McCarthy has completed the latest season of Mike & Molly.

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones Trailer – First look at the upcoming spin-off

October 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Although Paranormal Activity 4 wasn’t as big a hit as the previous instalments, and we’re not getting a new film from the franchise this year at all, it’s still a major cash cow for Paramount as they cost so little to make. Indeed the studio is now trying to expand things with a spin-off, The Marked Ones. Now we’ve got the first trailer.

It’s not clear whether the film ties directly into Paranormal Activity movies, or if using the name is mainly for marketing purposes. We’ll have to wait and see. The film follows teenagers who go to a place they shouldn’t have and end up being “marked.” The main character, Jesse, begins to be pursued by mysterious forces while his family and friends try to save him.

The film’s due out in January, while the main franchise will be back in October with Paranormal Activity 5. [Read more…]

First Pics From Mr. Peabody and Sherman Movie Arrive

October 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mr-peabody-and-sherman-pic1The first images from Mr. Peabody & Sherman have arrived, giving us a look at DreamWorks Animation’s take on the classic 1950s animated series. Along with the pics, comes a little commentary from director Rob Minkoff, via USA Today.

The film is about a genius canine, Mr. Peabody, and his adopted human son Sherman, who spring into action when Sherman uses their time machine without permission and moments in history begin to be changed. The commentary for the pic above confirms that, saying, ‘Mr. Peabody (voiced by Ty Burrell) is a genius dog, and Sherman (Max Charles) is his adopted son. Even the WABAC (pronounced “way back”) time-travel machine is back, but modernized for a new generation.’

The film is due out March 2014.

mr-peabody-and-sherman-pic2One big update from the original — Mr. Peabody drives a scooter with a sidecar. Director Rob Minkoff says the discussion of the right vehicle for the talking dog was a long one. “This scooter just sort of fit his personality.”

mr-peabody-and-sherman-pic3
Sherman uses the WABAC machine to travel back in time to learn about history firsthand. And it works for the girls, too, including classmate Penny Peterson (Ariel Winter). Here, Sherman takes her on a spin on Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine.

mr-peabody-and-sherman-pic4
The adventure begins when Penny decides she likes ancient Egypt so much that she’s going to stay forever. This is a big no-no for time travel. That forces Mr. Peabody to save the day, torches and all. Rob Minkoff says: “The prospect of altering history is something they have to worry about.”

mr-peabody-and-sherman-pic5
The film “expands the relationship” between Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Rob Minkoff says. The oddball family has never had to deal with outside influences — like girls.

mr-peabody-and-sherman-pic6
Rob Minkoff is confident that even the generation that has never heard of the original will love the 3-D screen version. “I pitch it to kids who don’t know the characters, and when they hear that Mr. Peabody is a dog that adopts a boy, it just sort of blows their mind. They love it.”
