|  |  |  | | | | | Screen Junkies | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Studios should take fan-made trailers and run them nationally as official film trailers. Fans seem to make movies look a lot more badass than professional trailer editors. This trailer for Faster emphasizes what The Rock should have been doing all along — stompin’ fools instead wearing tutus and fairy wings. Click the sht*t out of these links.

This doesn’t come as a huge surprise considering the feature film adaptation of the Jane Austen/living dead mash-up novel by Seth Grahame-Smith was one of the most sought after projects by some of Hollywood’s biggest helmers. So how did Mike White get it? Simple. The studio execs figured that someone who is as pale as Death but can walk around in direct sunlight must understand the zombie plight. Also, they liked that he’s funny. (Deadline) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we have an early look at MTV‘s “Teen Wolf” series, and it looks pretty good. By that, I mean it doesn’t look too much like Twilight. The characters have been cast age-appropriately and nobody mumbles. Yeah, Teen Wolf looks like a Jonas Brother now and nobody surfs on a van roof. But there are crossbows. Crossbows are always awesome. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This trailer for Harry Potter and the Homo-Erotic Subtext doesn’t say anything that isn’t already in the films. It just rearranges certain lines and scenes so that the final product makes Harry and Dumbledore seem as if they’re gay lovers. And who are you to judge?! Now Harry Potter and the Wank of Shame on the other hand, that has no place in children’s fiction. Kids should go directly to their professors if they need a release. **Break’s lawyers dash to my office** (BuzzFeed) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Yahhaw! Here we go with anuther Non-Monumental News Round Up! And this one is rootin’ tootinier than the last. We got a lot of non-monumental items to glance at in our boredom, so let’s git to it! Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – has a teaser poster featuring a metallic, pirate skull. It looks like The Expendables teaser poster dressed as Capt. Jack Sparrow for Halloween. (IMP Awards) 
John Cusack Is Dressed Like Edgar Allan Poe - Here’s a snapshot of John Cusack on the set of James McTeigue’s The Raven. It looks more like John Cusack dressed as Johnny Depp for Halloween. (Daily Dead) 
First Look At Cars 2- Pixar provides the first official image from Cars 2, showing Lightning McQueen and Mater the Tow Truck participating in the World Grand Prix — an international race to determine the fastest car in the world. While overseas, Mater gets caught up in the world of spy espionage. A backward hillbilly getting mistaken for an international spy? That sounds more like the plot of a Larry the Cable Guy movie. Oh. (Hey You Guys) 
Cowboys & Aliens teaser poster - Those aliens don’t stand a chance against Daniel Craig’s boomstick and Nintendo Power Glove. Sadly, no naked Olivia Wilde. Now THAT would be a tease. (Yahoo) 
Cat Dressed As A Taco - And here’s a picture of a cat dressed as a taco.

Hey gang. Welcome to the mobile edition of the weekly “Walking Dead” post. Why mobile? Because I’m sitting in an airport writing on my phone, watching on my iPad. Hence, no pics and probably plenty of typos (which my editor had better had fixed). But I still wanted to post some discussion points. I’ll be back next week with a full technicolor post and all the usual jazz. As for now? On with the show! Awesome Michael Rooker opening, with the zombies pounding at the door and him deeply dehydrated and delirious. Rooooooker!!! How mad is he gonna be when he finds the group again? 
Rick comes home and Lori has a mix of “Yay! My husband!” and “Ooooooh f**k.” Mostly the latter. Check it: 
Good to see that even though Shane was banging Rick’s wife, he seems like a decent leader. Dale lopping off the head off the deer-eating zombie was sweet, but did that piñata party remind anyone else of the scene from Shaun of the Dead when Shaun and Ed are killing the zombie with pool cues in time to music? Norman Reedus joins the cast as Daryl, Merle’s hick brother. Awesome. Shoots the still-living decapitated head of the deer-eating zombie with an arrow. Awesomer. 
Shane told Lori that Rick died? Interesting. Loving the crossbow action. Great zombie weapon for light encounters. Damn, Shane beat the crap out of Ed, the wife-beater. Gnarly scene. Ed was jacked. Merle’s hand lying next to the bloody handcuffs: great ending. 
Discuss the episode below, I’ll try to check-in deep from the Amazonian rain forest where I’m hunting down the cure for Cancer with Sean Connery and that annoying chick from “The Sopranos.” | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This past weekend, the world watched Scottie Thompson run for her life. For, like, an hour and a half. That was pretty much the gist of Skyline. Oh and she developed really bad cataracts at one point. Either that or she turned into Storm from X-Men. It was pretty hard to tell. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Looks like being trapped underground for two months is finally starting to pay off. Brad Pitt‘s Plan B Entertainment is negotiating to buy the film rights for the story of the Chilean miners. It’s not hard to believe that a Hollywood big shot would want to bring such a dramatic true life event to the big screen, but The Wrap also reports that the miners are negotiating roles for themselves. They’ve been flooded with proposals, but “want to create a holding company to equally distribute proceeds from their story before signing the deal with Plan B.” This will truly be a harrowing tale about 33 actors who turned to a life of mining for the dream of making it in Tinsel Town was just that; a dream. Now after a cataclysmic event, they finally have the opportunity to show the world that they can make it in Hollywood. Next year the Oscar Best Actor category is going to need to expand its accepted nominees by 28. It’s Chile’s time to reign. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Good news and bad news about the Footloose remake. The good news is it's no longer a Zac Efron vehicle, and it's no longer based on the Broadway musical. The bad news: it's still a remake. Dancing with the Stars' Julianne Hough plays Ariel Moore in director Craig Brewer's version and she spoke about the remake while promoting her first film, Burlesque, this weekend. "It's so true to the original and so fitting for our time the way the script is done right now," Hough said. "I don't really dance that much in it. I mean, I do but I had to kind of, not dumb down my dancing but tone it down a little bit. 'Tone down the hairography' is what Craig Brewer and I called it." Ariel is the daughter of the preacher who bans dancing from his small town in Footloose. The Kevin Bacon original was daring in 1984, so that gives the remake license for 2011. "It's really a drama with dancing in it rather than a dance movie," Hough said. "When you look back at the original, it was really edgy. It would probably be rated R in our time now. We're definitely pushing the envelope a little bit too. The fact that she gets hit in the movie and there's black eyes. There's weed in the original movie. It's like well, they had it so we can do it. So that's one thing that's good about redoing the original." They still probably shouldn't remake Footloose, but at least if they do, they can get it right. "Less based on the stage musical, it's more like the original movie. I'm so happy because I've been attached to it for so long, probably about a year and a half now. It was going to be a big musical and I was going to sing in it and dance in it. Then they changed directors and cast and everything. It's so wonderful that everything happened the way that it did to get to where it's at." Footloose is due out in 2011. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There’s a lot of back and forth whether the Ghostbusters sequel we don’t need will ever get made. If you believe Bill Murray, it won’t happen. If you believe Dan Aykroyd, it will happen and aliens exist and they are angry about 9/11. While those two work things out, we have this video from sketch group Chubby Skinny Kids to tide us over. It presupposes what the next generation of ‘Busters might be like. The youth today have no respect for the dead. (Funny Or Die) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Those hoping to see Eric Christian Olsen’s head bitten off by a Norwegian’s open chest cavity will have to update their calendars. Universal has removed The Thing prequel from their 2011 calendar for the time being. The fifth installment in The Fast And The Furious franchise, Fast Five, is being moved up to take its place with an April 29th release. This will allow Universal to kick off their summer movie season a little earlier than planned. It also ensures Fast Five a bigger opening by pulling it out of the X-Men: First Class / Green Lantern sandwich it was originally squeezed into. Though The Thing hasn’t found a new release date, I think this is a good thing for fans. Whether it lands in August or the Halloween season, at least filmmakers will have more time to fine-tune the film in an effort to diminish the scrutiny it is subject to from the purists. The move was mainly motivated because the gloomy tone wouldn’t play well with summer audiences. It makes sense that Universal wouldn’t want to put something sad on screens during that season, but have they never seen Paul Walker act? (LA Times) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Emma Stone is reuniting with her Easy A director, Will Gluck, for a second film. The ridiculously hot redhead will star as a yet-to-be-named character in the yet-to-be-named movie. In fact, we have no real information on the film, other than the fact that Gluck will write and direct. But “researching” this article did give me a chance to look at pictures of Stone, so I win.

Yesterday, we confirmed that Paul Giamatti will have a small role in The Hangover Part II. Well today, you can go ahead and file that article under “who gives a sh*t?” When it comes to Hangover cameos, there’s a new sheriff in town, and his name is Bill Clinton.
On Saturday, Clinton, who just happened to be hanging out in Bangkok, Thailand, filmed a short scene for the Todd Phillips’ comedy. The 42 President will reportedly play himself, which means there’s a good chance we will see his penis. If all goes well, it could pave the way for Hillary Clinton to play the dreaded canklepotamus in Peter Jackon’s upcoming adaptation of The Hobbit. (People via Vulture) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Paul Giamatti has landed a role in The Hangover Part II, Deadline is reporting. The Oscar-nominated actor is set to join the cast of the Todd Phillips’ comedy sometime in the next few weeks.
Although nothing has been confirmed, many are speculating that Giamatti will take on the tattoo-artist role originally offered to Mel Gibson. Liam Neeson was brought on as a replacement for Gibson, but was then given a different part. Regardless of how it pans out, I have a feeling that this may finally be the film that gets the Oscar monkey off Giamatti’s back, assuming they give an Oscar for “Best Legitimate Actor Appearing in a Scene with Thai Hookers.” | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Darren Aronofsky would like you to see his new film, Black Swan, as a companion to his previous Oscar nominated The Wrestler. Maybe they'll show as a double feature. Black Swan is about a ballet dancer (Natalie Portman) losing her grip with reality, and The Wrestler was about a steroid monster trying to make up with his daughter. You see the similarities. "I don’t really think there’s that much difference," Aranofsky said. "I don’t think it’s that much of a big deal. I think people are people and if their feelings are real and truthful they can connect. I keep saying that it doesn’t matter if you’re an aging fifty something year old wrestler at the end of his career or an ambitious twenty something year old ballet dancer. If they’re truthful to who they are and they’re expressing something real then audiences will connect. That’s always been the promise of cinema and that’s why we can see a film about a seven year old girl in Iran or an immortal superhero in America. It doesn’t matter as long as they’re truthful." Also, they're both kind of the ultimate sports movies. The wrestler took staples in his chest and jacked up his heart on steroids. The dancer breaks her toes and breaks out in hives from all the hours of training. Aronofsky portrayed the dance world as starkly as he did the ring. "The whole cinema verite handheld approach to The Wrestler was a big risk to bring over into this ballet film because I had never seen a kind of suspenseful film that had this kind of handheld camera and I didn’t know if it would work. I was always really worried that if in a really scary scene everyone would wonder why Natalie wouldn’t turn to the cameraman and go, ‘Help’, or something. So I didn’t know if it was going to work, but then we sort of went, ‘F*ck it. Lets just go for it because it’s never been done,’ and I really enjoyed the camera moving." The wrestler may have had some real life issues, but the dancer gets the full Aronofsky treatment. He goes all Requiem for a Dream on her. "Having a man hold the camera I could really move the camera in ways that you can’t in any other way. The result of that is that the first third of the film has a very different feel than the last half of the film because it’s got this very naturalistic feel which I think actually is kind of cool because it makes people feel like they’re watching a very different type of movie that can’t ever freak out like the way that it freaks out. Yet, it gives you that kind of immediacy of being in that other moment and being in this other world with little hints like she’s peeling her finger and things are going to get really freaked out. In general it just feels like a documentary in the beginning before it freaks out. So it kind of worked out for us. Black Swan freaks out theaters Dec. 3. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Darren Aronofsky discussed some of his plans for the Wolverine sequel (which I guess means this is actually happening), and it sounds like this could be a really good movie about a guy who has knives jutting out of his metacarpus. First off, the sequel is going to completely disavow its predecessor X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in favor of being a standalone (read: awesome) film. In order to distance it from the previous misfire, the film will not be called Wolverine 2, rather The Wolverine. Aronofsky’s talent for telling dark, gritty, complex, thoughtful, character studies should be well-applied to Logan’s time spent in Japan, and highlight the more tortured aspects of the mutant. Though I’m excited to see a Wolverine more grounded in reality, I do feel an “ass-to-ass” scene between Wolverine and Sabretooth would be completely out of place. Please do not include.
