Superman and Lois Lane Break Up; Who Will Be There for Jimmy Olsen?

Filed under: Comic-Con, Sci-Fi



From ComicsAlliance: DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio teased a "reexamined" relationship between Superman's Clark Kent persona and Lois Lane in the relaunched DCU earlier this month, leading many to imagine a relationship that either hasn't happened yet or didn't manifest into marriage.

Today at The Source, DC confirmed that Superman's 'Action Comics' adventures will reflect a very different Man of Steel that sees him single, orphaned, flightless and sporting a costume that will evolve from street wear to Kryptonian-influenced armor.

What's more, his love Lois Lane will have a new gig -- and a new love interest -- at The Daily Planet. Continue Reading

Why Did 'Larry Crowne' Fizzle at the Box Office?

Filed under: Features, Hot Topic, Box Office, Summer Movies, New Releases


Here's a pop quiz that Universal would probably like moviegoers to take: What did you know about 'Larry Crowne,' besides the fact that it stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts? Anything? Why wasn't their combined star power enough to get you to go see it when it opened this past weekend? What else would it have taken to persuade you to go see it?

The romantic comedy, which Hanks also directed and co-wrote, cost a reported $30 million to make but earned just $13 million in its first three days of release, debuting in fourth place on the box office chart. That's one of the weakest openings ever for a film starring either of these two actors, both longtime box office champs.

There will be a lot of handwringing, both at Universal and among movie pundits, worrying that 'Larry Crowne' is a sign that Hanks' and Roberts' star power is on the wane, that maybe they're both getting too old. (He's 54, she's 43.) But both of those concerns are misplaced. Yes, there is a star power drain, but it affects all of Hollywood, not just Hanks and Roberts. The truth is, star power alone isn't enough to sell a movie anymore, particularly one as offbeat as 'Larry Crowne.' Continue Reading

Best Bad Teachers in Movies

Filed under: Best and Worst, Moviefone Canada, The Rundown

It's hard to imagine Cameron Diaz playing a teacher. That is, until you hear the teacher is rude, crude, lewd and hot for Justin Timberlake, which sounds more aligned with the roles we're used to seeing the goofy, action-loving actress tackle.

'Bad Teacher' hits theaters this week, and features Diaz as, well, basically the complete opposite of the passionate Ms. Johnson (Michelle Pfeiffer) in 'Dangerous Minds.' Diaz's Ms. Halsey is more interested in chasing the cute (and rich) new substitute, played by Timberlake, than she is in developing young minds.

Lucy Punch ('Dinner for Schmucks') plays Diaz's biggest rival for JT's affections, while Jason Segel ('Forgetting Sarah Marshall') co-stars as a gym teacher who wouldn't mind a piece of Ms. Halsey for himself. Diaz's greedy character will do anything to land JT as her latest sugar daddy, including saving up for a boob job to help catch his eye. Continue Reading

'Super 8' 86-es Competition: Box Office Report June 10-12

Filed under: Movie News, Box Office, Summer Movies, New Releases


At the box office 'Super 8' could have been a train wreck the size of the one in the movie, or it could have been a monster hit the size of... Anyway, it was neither. The film debuted in first place (which was expected) with an estimated $37.0 million from Friday to Sunday (which was a little better than expected).

Given the secrecy of the J.J. Abrams movie's marketing campaign (which took pains not to reveal the nature of the monster, à la the Abrams-produced 'Cloverfield'), its complicated premise (both monster flick and nostalgic homage to a childhood spent making home movies and watching Steven Spielberg films) and its lack of star power, it was hard for industry experts to guess how well 'Super 8' would open.

On the plus side: a wide opening on 3,379 screens (including several IMAX venues with surcharges), generally strong reviews, and fanboy fondness for both Abrams and Spielberg, who produced the movie. Predictions had 'Super 8' opening in the low 30s. Not only did the movie do better than that, but a handful of early Thursday screenings, cross-promoted on Twitter to help improve word-of-mouth, added another $1 million or so to the weekend's take, for a four-day total of $38.0 million.

Trailer Park Tuesdays: This Week in Movie Trailers (VIDEO)

Filed under: Trailers and Clips, Movie News, Video, Coming Soon


Folks, we can hardly keep track of all the trailers that come out each week, and we cover movies for a living. To help you stay on top of what's happening in the world of "In a world ... " teasers, we are launching 'Trailer Park' -- a twice-weekly roundup of previews approved for appropriate (and, on occasion, inappropriate) audiences. We'll present long-lead trailers every Tuesday at noon, and previews for the current week's releases every Thursday at noon, so be sure to check back each week.

It's been a big week with everything at Comic-Con and all filled with real superheroes and pretend ones, but throw a couple haunted houses into the mix, Ryan Gosling re-defining cool, and the best thing that's happened to claymation since 'Gumby,' and that only covers about half of the trailers we've seen in the past seven days. Like we said, it's a lot to keep track of, but there's a lot of good stuff worth keeping an eye out for.

So without further ado, go right ahead and scope out the goods from July 18 through July 25. Continue Reading

Does Oprah Deserve an Oscar?

Filed under: Features, Movie News, Hot Topic, Oscar News, Awards


You get an Oscar! And you get an Oscar! And you get an Oscar...

Seems like the Academy is emulating its latest honorary recipient, Oprah Winfrey, in being unbelievably generous. Oscar officials announced yesterday that Winfrey is the winner of this year's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. She'll join fellow honorary Academy Award winners James Earl Jones and movie makeup pioneer Dick Smith to pick up her Oscar at the Academy's annual Governors Awards on Nov. 12.

Oprah's humanitarian credentials aren't in doubt. But why would the TV icon get an award ostensibly meant for people known for their contributions to the movie industry? Continue Reading
