Peter Segal to Direct Neighborhood Watch
18 December 2009 11:42 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Variety is reporting that director Peter Segal (Get Smart, 50 First Dates) is in talks to direct Neighborhood Watch for Twentieth Century Fox. The director was planning to film the sequel to Get Smart next, but the film has been postponed for the second in year in a row by Warner Bros. due to Carell’s interest in doing another film with Tina Fey or a spec script by Dan Fogelman. This now leaves Segal free to direct Neighborhood next, which will be written by Jared Stern (Bolt) and produced by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum). The film will tell the story of a newcomer to a community “who joins the neighborhood watch to only discover that there are supernatural elements afoot.” The project was originally going to be directed by David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) with Will Ferrell set to star, but the duo have since moved on.

Date Night gets a poster
18 December 2009 10:54 AM, PST | GordonandtheWhale | See recent GordonandtheWhale news »
Date Night features two very funny people that star on two very funny TV shows in Steve Carell (”The Office”) and Tina Fey (”30 Rock”). The film is about a married couple (Carell and Fey) that, while having a “date night,” get mistaken for another couple and become the target of corrupt cops. Carell and Fey’s presence alone make the project sound interesting, even though it is directed by Shawn Levy, whose films include Cheaper By The Dozen, Just Married, the Night At The Museum films, and other mediocre or worse films.

Variety reports that director Peter Segal ( Get Smart ) is in talks to helm Neighborhood Watch , a supernatural comedy scripted by Jared Stern ( Bolt ) and being produced by Shawn Levy for Twentieth Century Fox. (What their idea of "supernatural" entails however has yet to be determined.) Originally set up as a starring vehicle for Will Ferrell, the film focuses on a newcomer to a community who joins the neighborhood watch and discovers supernatural elements are afoot. No word on production yet, but if we hear a bit more about the "supernatural" aspects of this story and they sound cool, we'll keep you posted. »

Neighborhood watches. We're thinking it's time to enlist for these bad boys. Look at all the fun "Dexter" had with his this season! And now it looks as if something supernatural may be afoot pertaining to these ever so interesting late night endeavors.

Steve Carell, Tina Fey Re-Teaming for ‘Groom’?
17 December 2009 7:21 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
The trailer for Date Night, starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell, was tragically unfunny. You’d think the pairing of these two television comedy giants (and a slew of other talented people) might find a way to delight an audience, but things aren’t looking good for the pair’s collaboration.
Not to worry, Fey and Carell may be working together again soon, giving everyone a second chance at comedy. The duo is loosely attached to Mail Order Groom, according to Pajiba (later ripped off by the Hollywood Reporter).
The high concept comedy is about a woman who is desperate to find love and winds up ordering an Eastern European husband. The story is based on an idea by Jeff Richmond, Fey’s husband. Yes, apparently she’s already married in real life. Sorry to let down “30 Rock” fans who thought they had a chance with the funny lady who »

New Posters for Kick-ass, Date Night, and Edge Of Darkness
17 December 2009 12:05 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Courtesy of IMPAwards, the world’s best movie poster site ever, we have three new posters for Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, Shawn Levy’s Date Night, and Martin Campbell’s Edge of Darkness. The Kick-Ass poster feature Chloe Moretz as “Hit-Girl” and completes the set of the previously released posters. The Date Night poster is so plain that they just took an image we’ve already seen, slapped a gray background and the movie’s titled on it, and went about their business. Still, people love Steve Carell and Tina Fey so what more do you really need? And finally, the poster for Edge of Darkness tells us that few escape justice, none escape vengeance, and Mel Gibson can’t escape motion blur. [Update -- This poster was not a finalized version of the alternate poster and we have removed it at the request of the studio]
Hit the jump to check out all the posters plus a brief synopsis on each film.
[We've updated the Kick-Ass poster with a larger version courtesy of IGN]
Here’s the synopsis for Kick-Ass, which hits theaters on April »

Tina Fey and Steve Carell to Co-Star Again in Mail-order Groom
16 December 2009 11:43 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Tina Fey and Steve Carell are tentatively set to co-star in Mail-Order Groom — a comedy about a desperate woman who orders a husband from Eastern Europe –which will be co-produced by their respective companies, Little Stranger and Carousel Productions. Fey and Carell will first be seen together in Shawn Levy’s Date Night, which hits theaters on April 9, 2010. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the concept for Mail-Order Groom comes from Fey’s husband Jeff Richmond, and the script is currently going through rewrites by Glenn Ficarra and John Requathe (Bad Santa and I Love You Phillip Morris).
Fey and Carell are two of the funniest people in television today, so I think the more they do together the better, but don’t be surprised if either or both names get dropped from the project. They both have successful shows on NBC, and their schedules are backed up due to Date Night publicity, »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Two
16 December 2009 3:18 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: January 1st 2010
Cast: Renée Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Bradley Cooper, Kerry O'Malley
Director: Christian Alvart
Summary: A family services social worker thinks she has seen it all until she meets her newest, most mysterious case - a troubled 10-year old girl whose parents try to kill her. The social worker decides to take her in herself until the right foster family comes along.
Analysis: Despite the presence of promising German director Christian Alvart ("Pandorum"), 'Case' has sat on a shelf since late 2006 and is finally being quietly shuffled out this year for one very good reason - it stinks. Having opened in Australia a few months back, reviewers utterly savaged the film as both incredibly dumb and utterly ludicrous. Lead star Renee Zellweger also scored personal criticism to a level rarely seen in film reviews outside of comments about Nicole Kidman's 'more alien than the »

Blu-Ray Review: Overly Manic ‘Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian’
14 December 2009 1:41 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The CGI smorgasbord that is “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” is likely to suffice as a babysitter this holiday season as eggnog is made or holiday shopping is concluded. Families are likely to be satisfied by the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink mania that will work for toddlers hopped up on Christmas candy, but the film itself will collapse for their parents, babysitters, and even their older siblings.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
A slight improvement over the original (a film I truly didn’t like) merely due to the inclusion of Amy Adams and the absence of that film’s overcooked father/son story, “Battle of the Smithsonian” follows the “turn up the volume” model of sequels. “What worked about the original? Let’s make it bigger! And louder!”
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian was released on Blu-Ray and DVD on December 1st, 2009.

Night At The Museum 2 Blu-Ray Review
10 December 2009 8:39 AM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Night At The Museum:Battle Of The Smithsonian (Blu-Ray)20th Century Fox Home Entertainment2009/PG/105 minsNow Available – List Price $39.98Hollywood sometimes doesn't get that just because a film made a ton of money it doesn't mean everyone thought it was good. Nor does it mean they should make a sequel, but that's just what we're getting with 'Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian'. If your kid nags you to see this, don't get upset. I didn't care for the first film and though calling this follow-up and improvement isn't saying much, it's not the worst time you can spend at the movies. I miss the days when Ben Stiller took chances and put himself out on a limb with unconventional material. He seems to be going through the motions now and though 'Tropic Thunder' was a big hit and had some enjoyable aspects, it felt very commercial to me. »
Real Steel Begins Punching You Out in November 2011
10 December 2009 4:52 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Dreamworks and Touchstone Pictures have set a release date for the first movie of the new Dreamworks era, Shawn Levy's futuristic robot boxing flick Real Steel. It will open in theaters on November 18, 2011, the same day that the 23rd James Bond film and Happy Feet 2 are currently scheduled to open. It is the same weekend that films such as Twilight: New Moon and several of the past Harry Potter films have cleaned up in recent years, being the week before the Thanksgiving weekend. In industry speak, that's prime real estate for releasing a tentpole, which makes me oddly curious about what Dreamworks thinks it might have with Steel. As we've reported in the past, the story centers on a father and his estranged 11-year old son who enter the world of robotic boxing. The robotic boxing has since replaced human boxing, which has been outlawed, and now instead of 200-pound men fighting it out, its »

Real Steel Gets a Release Date
10 December 2009 4:45 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Hugh Jackman, DreamWorks, and Disney are set to have a very happy Thanksgiving on 2011. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Real Steel, the first venture to be released by the new output deal between the two studios, will be released to the masses on November 18th, 2011. This will be just in time for Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots to make a huge comeback before the Christmas buying season kicks into full swing. That last bit was a joke…sort of.
Directed by Night At The Museum helmer Shawn Levy and based on a short story by Richard Matheson, Real Steel is set in a future world where robots have taken over the brutal sport of boxing from the humans. Jackman will be playing a former boxer turned promoter who stumbles upon a robot who cannot lose. There’s also a father/son element to it, which will make it perfect fodder »

Hugh Jackman's 'Real Steel' Gets 2011 Release Schedule
9 December 2009 11:44 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
There are still almost two more years before we are able to watch Hugh Jackman in robot boxing movie, "Real Steel". Coming Soon recently reported that Touchstone Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures have decided to choose November 18, 2011 as the day when this action drama opens wide in U.S. theaters.
In the upcoming film, the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" actor is set to take the lead role as an ex-fighter who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed for being too violent. Jackman's character then finds a discarded robot that always seems to win. During his struggle to become a successful promoter, he discovers that he has a 13-year-old son, and they bond as the robot brawls its way toward the top.
"Real Steel" was originally scripted by Dan Gilroy, and has been rewritten by Les Bohem before John Gatins and Shawn Levy did another rewrite. Levy is set to replace »

Night At The Museum 2: Battle Of The Smithsonian DVD Review
9 December 2009 11:39 PM, PST | ScreenStar | See recent ScreenStar news »
Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), now out on DVD, is the inevitable sequel to the surprise blockbuster Night at the Museum (2006), and it again stars Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson, and a certain slap-happy capuchin monkey. This go-round, the adventure moves from the Museum of Natural History in New York City to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., and now-former security guard Larry Daley (Stiller) comes to the rescue when his old pals get crated up and that darn Egyptian tablet -- you know, the one that brings inanimate objects to life -- starts wreaking havoc in the world's largest museum. The film isn't nearly as entertaining as the original, but, as again directed by Shawn Levy, it's got its moments, and Amy Adams makes for an energetic and winsome, if occasionally irritating Amelia Earhart. The biggest flaw is it »

Real Steel in November 2011
9 December 2009 6:31 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Disney's Touchtone Pictures have officially set a release date for DreamWorks' first independent movie, Shawn Levy's futuristic robot boxing movie Real Steel. The film is set to hit theaters on November 18th 2011. The 23rd James Bond film and Happy Feet 2 are also currently occupying the date, but I would expect that to change. The second weekend of November is one of the bigger release dates at the box office. Waerner Bros has released three of the Harry Potter films (Goblet of Fire, Sorcerer's Stone, and Chamber of Secrets) on that spot, earning anywhere from $88-$102 million. Recently, Summit Entertainment has staked claim on the weekend for the first two films in the Twilight series. The film tells the story of a father and his estranged 11-year-old son who enter the world of robotic boxing. You see, in the future, human boxing has been outlawed, replaced with sports combat between »
