Paris Hilton’s Movie - Not So Good

Celebrity Poser | Movie News, Paris Hilton | Tuesday, 12 February 2008

post_image-0211_paris_hilton_shoes_00 Paris Hiltons Movie - Not So Good

Paris Hilton’s movie The Hottie and The Nottie completely tanked this weekend. To be honest, I’m surprised it made more than $1.50. But, I’m no box office analyst. Fortunately the folks at Fantasy Moguls are and, like my fifth grade girlfriend, did the math for me:

The final count will show that the critically reviled comedy featuring the seemingly talentless Hilton has sold a meager $25,500 in tickets at 111 locations over the weekend. That’s only $230 per screen for theaters that were convinced to book this disaster. That means that, based on an $8 average ticket price, 29 paying customers showed up at each location over the 3-day.

IS THIS THE CLOVERFIELD MONSTER?

Celebrity Poser | Movie News | Wednesday, 09 January 2008

5641-clover IS THIS THE CLOVERFIELD MONSTER?

Movieweb has what they claim is the first decent image of the monster from the mysterious upcoming movie “Cloverfield”.  Granted it’s just a picture of the toy version of the monster, but it’s still a little disappointing.  It looks very much like what you might think a Hollywood monster would look like. You might want to disbelieve, but I think this is it. It’s the image you’ve all been waiting for. Just check out the three claws on this nasty looking thing’s hand!
I know we have been running a lot of Cloverfield stories on the film’s viral marketing ad campaign today, but a new image of a supposed Cloverfield monster toy has “suddenly” surfaced. And it was indeed created by Peter Konig, the art director for the film.

Will Smith recruits for Scientology, is also freaking cheap

 Will Smith recruits for Scientology, is also freaking cheap

Will Smith handed out gifts to crew members after filming ended for his new movie Hancock. While it’s common practice for big stars to hand out “wrap presents,” Will Smith’s generous trinket has undoubtedly left him in danger of getting a boom mic shoved up his ass. NY Daily News reports:

His recent gift after wrapping next summer’s comedy “Hancock” was a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center.
Never mind that such tests are given free by the church anyway. The quiz is designed to convert people to the religion by identifying personality flaws that - surprise! - Scientology can fix right up for you.

Nicole Kidman has pulled out of her upcoming project

Hooters McGee | Movie News, Nicole Kidman | Monday, 07 January 2008

1012007114528pm Nicole Kidman has pulled out of her upcoming project

Page Six is reporting that Nicole Kidman has pulled out of her upcoming project, The Reader because she wants to ensure her current pregnancy has no complications. It is common knowledge that Nicole has suffered through miscarriages in the past. She has cleared out her work schedule so she can take it easy and avoid becoming overtired, overstressed and overworked. I WISH HER THE BEST (assuming this is all true).

Page Six has heard from extremely well-placed sources that the Oscar-winning Aussie - who’s suffered miscarriages in the past - not only has a bun in the oven but is so concerned about the welfare of her unborn child that she’s taking a break from her film career and has dropped out of director Stephen Daldry’s post-World War II Germany drama “The Reader,” which she was supposed to start shooting this month.

Depp named top money-making star in 2007

Celebrity Poser | Johnny Depp, Movie News | Thursday, 03 January 2008

6y2m2qq Depp named top money-making star in 2007

Johnny Depp has been voted the Top Money-Making Star of 2007 in Quigley Publishing Company’s 76th Annual Poll.

Depp, who starred in “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” in 2007, also placed first in 2006. He first appeared as #6 in 2003 and was second to Tom Cruise in 2005.

The Quigley Poll, conducted every year since 1932, is an annual survey of motion picture exhibitors, which asks them to vote for the ten stars that they believe generated the most box-office revenue in the preceding year for their theatres. Long regarded as one of the most reliable indicators of a Star’s real box-office draw because the selections are done by people whose livelihood depends on choosing the films that will bring audiences to their theatres, the Quigley Poll appears annually in Quigley Publishing Company’s International Motion Picture Almanac and at http://www.quigleypublishing.com. Will Smith, who starred in “I Am Legend,” finished second in the voting followed by George Clooney (”Michael Clayton” and “Ocean’s Thirteen”) and Matt Damon (”The Bourne Ultimatum” and “Ocean’s Thirteen.”) Clooney has been in the poll five times to date. Somewhat surprisingly, this year is Matt Damon’s first Top Ten mention. Denzel Washington (”The Great Debaters” and “American Gangster”) was fifth and Russell Crowe (”American Gangster” and “3:10 to Yuma”) was sixth.

The rest of the Top Ten in order were: Tom Cruise #7 (”Lions for Lambs,”) Nicholas Cage #8 (”Ghost Rider” and “National Treasure: Book of Secrets,”) Will Ferrell #9 (”Blades of Glory”) and Tom Hanks #10 (”Charlie Wilson’s War.”) This is the first year in 24 years, since 1983, that exhibitors have not included a female star in the Top Ten.

Perennial powerhouse Tom Cruise has been in the Top Ten an amazing 20 times since 1983. To date, Cruise has been voted number one seven times. Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds and Bing Crosby have all won five times. John Wayne, Doris Day and Shirley Temple each finished first four times, but John Wayne was voted one of the Top Ten Money-Making Stars an astounding 25 times from 1949 to 1974. Exhibitors were also asked to name the Stars of Tomorrow for 2007: one actor and one actress who they feel will be Top Money-Makers in the years to come. The 2007 winners are Shia LaBeouf who starred in “Transformers,” “Disturbia” and voice talent in “Surf’s Up” and Ellen Page who had a breakthrough performance in “Juno” in 2007.

Top Ten Money-Making Stars of 2007

1. Johnny Depp
2. Will Smith
3. George Clooney
4. Matt Damon
5. Denzel Washington
6. Russell Crowe
7. Tom Cruise
8. Nicolas Cage
9. Will Ferrell
10. Tom Hanks

Sacha Baron Cohen: Killing off Borat

Celebrity Poser | Movie News, News | Friday, 21 December 2007

bfborat Sacha Baron Cohen: Killing off Borat

According to the UK Telegraph:

The intensely private comic actor readily admits he is more comfortable talking in the guise of the characters he has created, but unfortunately for him, both Ali G and Borat have had their day. Too many people know them and he reluctantly acknowledges that he can no longer retreat behind their personas.

“When I was being Ali G and Borat I was in character sometimes 14 hours a day and I came to love them, so admitting I am never going to play them again is quite a sad thing,” he said. “It is like saying goodbye to a loved one. It is hard, and the problem with success, although it’s fantastic, is that every new person who sees the Borat movie is one less person I ‘get’ with Borat again, so it’s a kind of self-defeating form, really.

“It’s upsetting, but the success has been great and better than anything I could have dreamed of.”

Christian Bale is in talks for the role of John Connor in the next installment of Warner Bros.’ Terminator franchise.

 

If things go as planned, the actor will be headlining two major pictures for the studio — Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins and the Batman movie The Dark Knight.

 

Bale will play Connor, who will be in this 30s, in the fourth installment of the franchise, reports Variety.

 

McG is directing the project, with the picture scheduled to start production in Budapest in April next year.

 

It is scheduled to hit screens in summer 2009

 

Warners picked up North American distribution rights to Terminator Salvation in October. International rights are still open; Sony has first rights to those.

 

The picture is being produced by the privately funded Halcyon along with former Intermedia CEO Moritz Borman; the two teamed up to acquire the rights to the franchise from ex-Carolco partners Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar.

 

Producers intend the project to be the first in a trilogy reinventing the franchise.
