‘Left Behind’ Reboot to star Nicholas Cage
FilmoFilia.com

In 2001 the Left Behind franchise made its way to the movies starring Kirk Cameron and now Nicolas Cage is in negotiations to topline a reboot of the Christian-themed movie trilogy.

Furthermore, the project has found its director in Vic Armstrong, best known for his stunt work on Hollywood films since the 1960s.

This is not going to be good. You can mark my words.

‘Family Circus’ Film

‘Family Circus’ Film
Variety

Fox and Walden Media are running away with “Family Circus,” hiring the writing team of Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price to adapt the comicstrip as a live action project.

“Family Circus” has been in development since 2010, when Fox and Walden picked up the feature rights and set up the project with Jon Baldecchi and Stacy Maes.

Bil Keane debuted the comicstrip in 1960 that was based on his own family. In recent years, the strip has been drawn by Bill’s son Jeff Keane.

Someone please tell me this is a joke! Some things just shouldn’t be made into movies, and I think this is one of…

‘The Bourne Legacy’ Home Entertainment Release Date
Entertainment Weekly

There was never just one Bourne DVD.

Universal will announce today that The Bourne Legacy is coming to DVD, Blu-ray Combo Pack, On Demand, and digital download December 11, 2012. The thriller follows agent Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) as he fights to survive an epic, twisty game of cat-and-mouse — following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Jason Bourne. Edward Norton and Rachel Weisz also star. Special features include a variety of making-of featurettes, a set of deleted scenes, and commentary from director/co-writer Tony Gilroy.

I have no intention of putting this horrible film in…

‘Son of Ernest’ To Dishonor Jim Varney

‘Son of Ernest’ To Dishonor Jim Varney
/Film

Is there any character at this point that spans TV and film in the unusual way that Jim Varney‘s character Ernest P. Worrell did in the ’80s and ’90s? The seemingly bygone career of Larry the Cable Guy comes close, but Ernest has him beat. Ernest P. Worrell, played by Varney, began life as an ad pitchman thanks to the agency Carden and Cherry, then moved into his own TV show, and headlined a nine-film series. (OK, only five of those were theatrical releases. Still.)

Now John Cherry, the character’s creator and the man who directed most of the theatrical Ernest appearances, wants…

‘Bones’ Headed for Trouble

‘Bones’ Headed for Trouble
TV Line

The break-up frenzy that upended Glee earlier this month appears to be spreading to Bones.

On the heels of Sweets and Daisy’s sad split, fresh evidence has emerged that strongly suggests the long-running drama is about to drive a wedge between Angela and Hodgins too!

“Everything that came together in Season 7 is going to fall apart in Season 8,” exec producer Stephen Nathan reveals in the latest installment of Fox’s “Breakfast with Bones” video series. Adds series creator Hart Hanson: “A good template for the [season is], ‘Let’s test everybody who’s in love.’”

Casting News on ‘Reykjavik’

Casting News on ‘Reykjavik’
Entertainment Weekly

Christoph Waltz better get used to people wanting to touch his head: The Oscar winner has signed up to play former Soviet Union chairman Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik, about the historic 1986 nuclear arms summit between Gorbachev and President Ronald Reagan (Michael Douglas). Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is directing from a script by Kevin Hood (Becoming Jane).

I remain unconvinced that this film will be any good whatsoever. It still seems really strange for Michael Douglas to play this part. As I’ve said, it seems like a real slap in the face to get someone who is…

‘Ant-Man’ - I Guess They’re Making This Thing

‘Ant-Man’ - I Guess They’re Making This Thing
/Film

Ant-Man is definitely the biggest news here, confirming not only that it’ll be the first film of Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Three, but Phase Three will start in the same year as The Avengers 2 (scheduled for release May 1, 2015, and noticeably absent from the above press release). It also closes the loop, as it were, on Phase 2. We’ll be getting the one new film –Guardians of the Galaxy – and three sequels, two of which will be in 3D. That’s not to sayCaptain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians won’t be in 3D, they just haven’t started shooting yet.

This is where my weakness…

‘Taken 2’ Second Week at the Box Office

‘Taken 2’ Second Week at the Box Office
Entertainment Weekly

Liam Neeson’s Taken 2 kicked its way back into the top slot for a second weekend with an estimated $22.5 million, and Ben Affleck’s political thriller Argo and the Ethan Hawke horror flick Sinister were close second and third, respectively. The one-two-three punch helped boost the box office to a fabulous 47 percent gain over the same weekend in 2011, when Real Steel slugged its way to a second No. 1 finish.

While Taken 2 continues to outpace the 2009 original — after 10 days, it’s notched $86.8 million, in comparison to Taken‘s $53.6 million total in the same time frame — it still…
