Taylor Lautner may bring 'Max Steel' to life

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 04:01:32 +0000

"Twilight Saga" star Taylor Lautner has another potential movie franchise in his sights: Teenage superhero Max Steel. Lautner's team is talking with Paramount about having the breakout star of "New Moon" lead a "Max Steel" movie, the LA Times' Hero Complex blog reports. The studio acquired rights to the character, which began as a Mattel action figure and spawned an animated series that ran earlier this decade. The cartoon series was about a 19-year-old extreme-sports athlete who was exposed to nanotechnology, which fused with his body to make him nearly invulnerable. He then goes to work for a secret government agency. Here's a look at the cartoon: Lautner will host "Saturday Night Live" on Dec. 12 and has two movies due in theaters next year: The romantic comedy "Valentine's Day" and the third "Twilight" film, "Eclipse."

'FlashForward,' 'V' will return in March

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 03:39:49 +0000

"FlashForward" is taking a sizable winter break, and "V" will be paired with "Lost" in the spring, ABC says. The network announced Thursday night that "FlashForward" will go on hiatus until March 4, which will give it a 12-episode run to end the season. "V," meanwhile, will return on March 30, moving from 8 p.m. Tuesdays to 10 p.m. after "Lost." In both cases, the return dates will put their respective shows' season finales in the middle of May sweeps. "FlashForward" aired a trailer for the second half of the season at the end of Thursday's episode, which was the show's 10th. The March 4 return date means that the show's 19th episode should air April 29, 2010 -- the date to which the shows' characters flashed when they blacked out in the pilot. That jibes with previous comments from the show's creative team, who have said that April 29 wouldn't be the season finale. The most likely candidate to replace "FlashForward" in January and February is probably the legal drama "The Deep End," ...

'Hills' Star Stephanie Pratt Isn't On Team Jacob: 'Get Out Of Here, Werewolf!'

Wed, 2 Dec 2009 16:05:00 +0000

'Jacob really needed to leave Bella alone,' she says of 'New Moon.' By Larry Carroll Stephanie Pratt Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Gettty Images HOLLYWOOD — One interesting thing about the "Twilight" pop-culture explosion has to be the random celebrity fans who have come out of the woodwork over the past few months, professing their love for all things Stephenie Meyer. From Tokio Hotel and Timbaland to 50 Cent and Ryan Reynolds , some unusual people have revealed their love for ab-tastic vampires. Recently, we caught up with the one-and-only Stephanie Pratt — younger sister of Spencer and sister-in-law of Heidi — and according to the "Hills" star, she's as hard-core as any novel-wielding 19-year-old. " 'New Moon,' I'm obsessed!" she said of the blockbuster and the "Twilight" novels. "I've read all the books. ... I cried the hardest [reading] 'New Moon' ...

Casting call: 'Heroes'' Sendhil Ramamurthy takes NBC pilot

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 22:31:08 +0000

"Heroes" actor Sendhil Ramamurthy is (perhaps) moving on from the show to another project at NBC. Ramamurthy, who plays Mohinder Suresh on "Heroes," has taken a role in the network's drama pilot "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer," joining David Tennant, Abigail Spencer and Jeffrey Tambor in the cast. Jane Curtin has also signed on. The Hollywood Reporter says that "Rex" is in second position to "Heroes" for Ramamurthy, meaning that "Heroes" would take precedence if both shows wind up on NBC's schedule next season. (Both shows come from NBC sibling Universal Media Studios.) Ramamurthy has been absent from the past couple episodes of "Heroes"; when we last saw him, Suresh was being checked into a mental hospital by Hiro (Masi Oka) in attempt to hide Suresh from villain Samuel (Robert Knepper). "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" stars Tennant ("Doctor Who") as an attorney whose panic attacks make him unable to argue before a judge; he then switches to coaching clients on how to represent themselves. Ramamurthy ...

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout? Twitter, 'Twilight' and swine flu, apparently

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 22:25:33 +0000

The Global Language Monitor has released the most-used words of 2009. Twitter tops the list, to the surprise of no one under the age of 70. Twitter, the social networking phenomenon that is sweeping the nation, topped the list. President of GLM, Paul JJ Payack, said that it shows "how big Twitter is globally." But the firm was slightly surprised that Michael Jackson didn't crack the Top 5. The second word on the list was "Barack Obama," while "H1N1" came in third. That's a bit of a surprise to us; we figured "swine flu" would split the usage with "H1N1," driving it further down the list. Rounding out the Top 5 are "stimulus" and "vampire." One can assume those two terms are not related and that "stimulus" refers to an economic item... but with the way Robert Pattinson looks playing Edward Cullen, could go either way.

'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' may be broken in two movies

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 17:24:26 +0000

Moviegoers may get an extra chance to visit the world of "Twilight." With the third installment, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," nearly done, Summit Entertainment is prepping to adapt the series' fourth and final book. "Breaking Dawn," though, is weighty enough that the studio is contemplating splitting it into two films, according to Variety . Thing is, Summit only contracted the lead actors, director Chris Weitz and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg for four films, and the agreement with series author Stephenie Meyer is also only for four films. Are we worried? No. The box-office success of "Twilight" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" should help all involved see why an extra payday is worth the time. More worrisome is "Breaking Dawn's" subject matter. Spoilers follow! The book covers the marriage of human Bella and vampire Edward, and so features all the sex not allowed in the first three books. Then we get into spine-crunching fetuses, oral C-sections and a weird semi-pedophilia ...

New 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' picture appears online

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 16:00:37 +0000

You can take the wizard out of Hogwarts... and, well, apparently you can keep him out for the duration of a movie. The first image from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has been posted over at USA Today , and it gives a good look of what to expect: Harry, Ron and Hermione spending a lot of time in the drab, ordinary human world. That matches the first part of J.K. Rowling's final "Potter" novel, wherein our heroes travel the magic-less world to gather artifacts that will help them defeat the evil Voldemort once and for all. Due to the book's length, the movie adaptation will be split into two parts, with the second presumably covering the final battle against Voldemort at Hogwarts. Check out the team: Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe ) and Hermione ( Emma Watson ) look appropriately worried, while Ron ( Rupert Grint , middle) definitely looks like he's been missing sleep looking for magic "horcruxes." The first half of "Deathly Hallows" opens in theaters in November 2010, ...

Timbaland Brings Pop And Rock To Shock Value II

Super-producer's new album features guest spots from everyone from Katy Perry to Miley Cyrus to Daughtry. By Shaheem Reid Timbaland Photo: Lester Cohen/ WireImage Timbaland is back for another round of mayhem with his new album, Shock Value II. Hitting stores December 8, the album branches out from strictly hip-hop and features pop stars such as Katy Perry , Miley Cyrus and his good friend Justin Timberlake , along with rockers like Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, the Fray and Daughtry . However, Drake is featured on the album's next single, "Say Something," about a famous man who makes plenty of money, but neglects to spend enough quality time with his girl. "What's a star when his most important fan is missing?" Drake raps. "We can work it out," he sings on the chorus.

Syfy adds Stephen King TV series supposedly based on 'The Colorado Kid'

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:23:29 +0000

Novelist Stephen King is getting back into the television game, though this latest project has us scratching our heads. Syfy has picked up 13 episodes of an original series, "Haven," purportedly based on King's novella "The Colorado Kid." The thing is, "The Colorado Kid" is about a young journalist who is told the story of a mysterious corpse, a man from Colorado who shows up in Maine in record time. Here's how the Syfy release describes "Haven": "Deep in the heart of Maine, Haven is a town where people with supernatural abilities have migrated for generations because it mutes their powers, allowing them to lead normal lives. At least, until recently. When hot-shot FBI agent Audrey Parker is called to Haven to solve the murder of a local ex-con, she catches the killer but uncovers a much deeper mystery about this town. Each week, as the town-peoples' dormant powers begin to express themselves, Audrey will try to keep these supernatural forces at bay while unraveling the many mysteries of ...

'Twilight: Eclipse' star Robert Pattinson calls Taylor Lautner's body 'strange'

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:26:49 +0000

Fans of the first film were surprised to see Taylor Lautner 's new abs in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." So was co-star Robert Pattison . "I didn't see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting," Pattinson told MTV. "When he came back, I had the same reaction as everybody else. I was like, 'Jeez, now I have to go to the gym!' But yeah, it was strange." (The actor, who played vampire Edward Cullen, must have gone to the gym: He did his own disrobing act for the movie.) Despite the abs competition, Pattinson said he and Lautner barely worked together on the second movie, though they'll have more interaction during the third. As for "New Moon's" box-office draw, the actor said his favorite fans are the older ones. "I always find it funny when older people come up," he told the channel. "There was a woman who came up to me the other day who must have been in her 90s. And she said all this stuff... it's very unusual. And they say exactly the same things as 12-year-old girls! ...

The awards show that celebrates independent music of all types welcomed back a true rags-to-riches story in the quartet, who toiled tirelessly on the margins for years before graduating to arena-rock size and scope.

Have you started your "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" countdown clocks yet? It's only seven months and two days away.

There's the word "eclipse" in the special "Twilight" font, a visual representation of a solar eclipse, the release date and some dark clouds.

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:47:10 +0000

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is expected to dominate theater marquees for a few more weeks, but the stars are already talking about "Eclipse." "I think Bella's little bit of treachery in the third one will be -- I think it's going to be a good scene," Robert Pattinson told MTV News. Yes, "New Moon" fans, Bella sheds her milquetoast persona in Stephenie Meyer's third book, though without giving anything away, we suspect neither Team Edward nor Team Jacob will be pleased. Kristen Stewart , who plays Bella, offered a bit more insight to MTV News: "I'm looking forward to seeing the love triangle actually becoming a problem. We sort of innocently touch on it in 'New Moon,' but it actually becomes something that is very, very real." You've got some time to mull that: "Eclipse" doesn't hit theaters until June 30, 2010.

FX sinks its teeth into 'Twilight' rights

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:54:46 +0000

FX is betting that "Twilight" mania won't have subsided by the end of 2011. The cable channel has picked up the rights to all four movies (or five -- there have been rumors that the final book in the series, "Breaking Dawn," will be split into two films) in the "Twilight" franchise. FX's rights to the series will begin with its debut of "Twilight" in late 2011. "New Moon" will follow in 2012, and "Eclipse," which hits theaters next June, will air in 2013, the showbiz trade papers say. There's no word yet on a time frame for "Breaking Dawn" on FX. The movie is tentatively scheduled to begin filming in the spring and will likely hit theaters in 2011. Showtime has the premium-cable rights to the "Twilight" series and will debut the first movie in January. FX's deal also includes several other films from Summit Entertainment, including the "The Hurt Locker," "Push" and "Knowing." Those movies are slated for 2012.

'New Moon' Star Taylor Lautner Shows Amazing Grape-Catching Abilities On 'Conan O'Brien'

'Twilight' star also jokes about taking his shirt off in film. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Lautner (file) Photo: Jon Furniss/ Getty Images Sure, there's been loads of talk about Taylor Lautner 's toned body in "New Moon." But it seems the real headline has been hidden until now: Lautner has an uncanny and almost superhero-like ability to catch grapes in his mouth from very, very far distances. It's a talent he can credit Kristen Stewart for. "Usually we'd just use a football, but if there wasn't a football ..." he told Conan O'Brien on "The Tonight Show" Monday about one way he and Stewart would kill time on set, clarifying that when there wasn't football to toss around, she'd throw grapes in his mouth. And, just to prove that he's not all talk, Conan somehow convinced the "Twilight" heartthrob to do it. Quite impressively, Lautner did it three times without fail, each time from an increasing distance. Aside from all the grape talk, he also talked about the ...

'FlashForward' reportedly hits the pause button

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:25:04 +0000

"FlashForward" is slowing down. The time-bending ABC drama will pause production through the Thanksgiving holiday, according to Variety . While that might seem ominous for a show whose recent ratings numbers have been less that stellar, an ABC rep told the trades the stoppage had been pre-planned since before the show's launch. "They want to maintain the high quality of the show, and this gives the writers the opportunity to do so," the rep told Variety . Wait, so the writers knew they'd need a break to punch up their work? That doesn't reassure us at all. Production on the show is set to resume Nov. 30. We're waiting to hear back from ABC on what the pause means for "FlashForward." More details as we get 'em.
