We’re in a weird moment with mainstream movies and presidential assassinations. “X-Men: Days Of Future Past” offered up its own scenario of the killing of President John F. Kennedy, and this fall, James Franco and Seth Rogenwill try and eliminate Kim Jong-Un in the comedy “The Interview.” Hilarious, right?  Well, not unless you’re the North Korean leader or part of his circle.

With the trailer now online, though probably not viewable by most people who actually live in North Korea, officials have come out hard against the movie. Speaking with The Telegraph, Kim Myong-chol, executive…

Will audiences, like battered old ships, soon have to weather a year-long barrage of new Pirates of the Caribbean marketing? While the Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp partnership with Disney isn’t what it once was — Bruckheimer doesn’t even have a deal with the studio any longer — there’s still a plan to make Pirates of the Caribbean 5.

The film has been in development for a while, with Kon-Tiki filmmakers Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg set to direct from a script by Jeff Nathanson. Despite the fact that cast rumors have come up, however, Disney said earlier this year that the film…

There was once a time when Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini were deemed the right fit for a “Scooby-Doo” live action reboot. The results were actually pretty good (financially anyway), with the movie taking over $275 million worldwide. But by the time “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” came around (both movies penned by “Guardians Of The Galaxy” director James Gunn, FYI), audience interest had cooled, and the sequel committed the cardinal sin of earning less than its predecessor. And thus a movie franchise was dead. At least until now.

Warner…

Forgive me for linking to a BuzzFeed article, but this is just… I mean it… words fail me.

According to the UK-based BabyCenter.com, after combing through a database of 555,000 baby names, Elsa has become one of the hottest new baby names for 2014.

BabyCenter has noticed jumps in the popularity of other Frozen-inspired names. Even Olaf…

I’m going to curl up in a ball and die now. I mean, I liked Frozen too, but really? REALLY?!? I like The Matrix, like, A LOT. But I’m not about to name my son Neo, or Morpheous, or Mouse; nor will I name my daughter Trinity or Switch. This is just…

At the 11th hour, Lana and Andy Wachowski‘s sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending is being pushed back from July 18 to Feb. 6, 2015.

Yeah, we know that all good films are released in February… all good films… Sigh, this does not bode well.

On the other hand:

To boot, the February corridor is one of the quietest of the year, although Hollywood studios and exhibitors are trying to change that. Warners released Lego Movie in February, when it opened to a massive $69.1 million. It went on to gross $461.9 million worldwide.

This is true, but I definitely died a little on the inside on hearing this…

Ant-Man is getting new director. Edgar Wright has just dropped out of the Marvel movie, owing to “differences in their vision of the film.” Paul Rudd is still leading the cast of the superhero film, which also stars Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly. More details after the jump.

The unfortunate news was released in a press release today:

Marvel and Edgar Wright jointly announced today that the studio and director have parted ways on ANT-MAN due to differences in their vision of the film. The decision to move on is amicable and does not impact the release date on July 17, 2015. A new…

Apparently Hollywood has milked every single Seventies and Eighties property they can and now they’re on to the Nineties. Lionsgate has just announced they’ll be rebooting the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the big screen.

Do. Not. Want!

Because Will Ferrell had such a successful time adapting “Land Of the Lost,” he’s now teaming up with buddy Adam McKay to (exec) produce a new animated version of “The Flintstones.”

To be fair, Ferrell didn’t produce or help develop “Land Of The Lost,” but that stone-age comedy was slapped with a PG-13 rating and bombed hard back in 2009. And now “The Flintstones” seems to be headed towards a PG-rating.

A full-length animated feature, THR reports that Ferrell and McKay are executive producing a version of “The Flintstones” for Warner Bros. via their Gary Sanchez shingle. The project is…

Cue Aerosmith’s “Dude Looks Like a Lady” on your tape deck: Fox 2000 Pictures is developing a sequel to the 1993 comedy Mrs. Doubtfire. And lest you worry that they’ll cast Zac Efron in the title role (actually, we might watch that movie), the plan is to reunite original star Robin Williams with director Chris Columbus, as The Hollywood Reporter first reported. Elf writer David Berenbaum is attached to pen the script.

“Should we make a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel?”

No.

“But what about…”

OH MY GOSH, NO!
