In a massive start, Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” easily scored the biggest midnight gross of all-time in earning $22.2 million as it unspooled in 3,003 runs at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.I have no idea why I was just talking like Jed Clampett.That figure beats the $18 million earned in midnight runs by Warners’ very own “The Dark Knight” and the $17 million earned by 20th Century Fox’s “Star Wars: Episode III —Revenge of the Sith.”
“Half-Blood Prince” opens in the same Wednesday slot that “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” did in 2007. “Order of the Phoenix” grossed $12 million in midnight runs on its way to a $139.7 million five-day debut.
Dropping two spots to third, Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen earned another $24.2 million in its third weekend for a domestic total of $339.2 million. The sequel has passed the $319 million total of 2007's Transformers and is easily the No. 1 movie of the year domestically so far. Internationally, the Paramount/DreamWorks release has reached $364.5 million, just $24.5 million shy of the original's entire overseas gross. "Revenge of the Fallen" surpassed the $700 million mark and now stands at $703.7 million. The first Transformers earned $708.3 million worldwide.You know what really sucks? Five dollars of that is mine. I ended up going to see it with a friend. I equate it to watching open heart surgery on the Discovery channel. You don't want to see it. You know you won't like it. But you still watch it so you can tell everyone how bad it was. That's how I would describe Transformers 2, which just broke 700 million. 700 million! Frikkin' moron Michael Bay! WTF!
Mel Gibson will star in "The Beaver" for director Jodie Foster.If only I had a nickel for everytime I pretended my had was a beaver when I was feeling down.
The script, written by Kyle Killen, topped the Blacklist in December.
Gibson will play a depressed man who finds solace in wearing a beaver hand-puppet. On top of helming, Foster will play the role of the man’s wife.
Natalie Portman is starring as Jane Foster, the Thunder God’s love interest. In the original comics the character was a nurse who worked for Dr. Donald Blake, a regular old cripple who sometimes turned into Thor. - CHUD
[From Marvel’s press release] Marvel Studios expands its film universe with a new type of superhero: THOR. This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Yet this movie has Kenneth Branagh as the director. I love Kenneth Branagh. I would give him a rat’s ass in a second.
Now I hear Natalie Portman has been cast! My sweet Natalie. So pretty.
But this still doesn’t mean this movie won’t suck. Even though Kenneth Branagh rocks and Portman is beautiful and talented this is Thor we’re talking about. Plus Kenneth Branagh and Portman don’t have the best of track records. Let’s not forget about Branagh’s Frankenstein and the last Star Wars movies.
Warner Bros. Pictures has hired X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Proposal star
Ryan Reynolds to play the title role in the anticipated Green Lantern, scheduled
for a June 17, 2011 release.
Based on the DC Comics hero, the
action-adventure will be directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye)
and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti. Berlanti wrote the script with
Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.
The Hollywood trades say that
Reynolds and his camp entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio
held two rounds of screen tests, along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared
Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test. The studio had holding options
on the actors, but, except for Reynolds, those expired Monday. Reynolds' option
would have expired end of day Friday.
Production is expected to begin in
January.
The "Green Lantern" was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger
and artist Martin Nodell. Introduced in 1959, Hal Jordan is a second-generation
test pilot, an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern)
by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur's spaceship crashed on Earth, the
alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green
Lantern: someone who was "utterly honest and born without fear."
Reynolds will be the only actor to have played heroes for both Marvel
and DC. He recently starred in Fox's "Wolverine," in which he played Wade
Wilson/Deadpool. The character is now being developed for a spin-off to which
Reynolds is attached. He also played Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity.
Got an unconfirmed rumor that at Leavesden Studios - there's been some Warner Bros. screen testing on GREEN LANTERN and that Justin Timberlake was suiting up for the test. That does not mean that JT is going to be Hal Jordan, but just that he's one of the guys that they've been seriously considering for the role of our Emerald Knight.I fully admit I'm not the Green Lantern's biggest fan and by "biggest fan" I mean I really don't like the character. But come on! He doesn't deserve this shit! Justin Timberlake. Justing frikkin' Timberlake? Rumor or not that is just wrong.
"It will be the perfect date movie," said Moore. "It's got it all -- lust, passion, romance, and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let's just say it: It's Capitalism."He is being sarcastic...right?
