Originally slated for release in April, Piranha 3-D has now been pushed back to August by The Weinstein Company to reportedly avoid splitting their audience demographic with Lionsgate quirky superhero flick Kick-Ass. However, ongoing speculation suggests that there may be a problem with the 3-D rendering, and that the film will most likely be released in 2-D (that’s especially sad news for fans of Kelly Brooke’s boobs).
I believe in the latter reason for the delay. Kick-Ass looks funny and will surely appeal to the socially awkward who weep themselves to sleep every night, but it doesn’t stand a chance against babes and blood … in 3-D! I mean, just check out the following trailer:
Piranha 3-D stars Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Jerry O’Connell, Eli Roth, Kelly Brooke, Christopher Lloyd and Richard Dreyfuss.
“Dexter” star Michael C. Hall scored a Golden Globe award last night for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series—Drama. The 38-year-old actor, who went public with his battle against Hodgkin’s lymphoma last week, wore a dapper suit and black skullcap, of which he quipped “It’s nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorising.”
Backstage at the show, Hall said that he went public with his illness because he knew people would be taken aback by his physical appearance.
He explained:
I had every intention of keeping it quiet, but because the award shows were imminent I thought I’d make a statement.
Hall’s illness is in remission. The actor will start shooting season five of “Dexter” later this year.
Meanwhile, “Dexter’s” season four guest star John Lithgow picked up a Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series for his chilling portrayal of Dexter nemesis The Trinity Killer. To see Hall and Lithgow talk about this year’s “Dexter” finale, click here.
If rabbit holes aren’t your cup of tea, you may want to check out Malice in Lalaland, a porn adaptation of novelist Lewis Carroll’s two most famous works: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

"Wait! I was in a Soderbergh movie! Why am I still sucking on Ron Jeremy nuts?
The XXX-rated feature is presented in 35mm (a big deal in porn where most productions are shot on a tarp with a mobile-phone camera) and stars jizz-biz queen and Steven Soderbergh gal-pal Sasha Grey.
Jack-Off Check out the trailer:
The film’s press release reads:
We proudly present “Malice In Lalaland”, a new and innovative Miss Lucifer Productions film for Harmony. Based on the two books by Lewis Carroll: “Alice In Wonderland” and “Through The Looking Glass”, we stay true to a strange world and its even stranger characters. It’s not a fantasy world, but a surreal and contemporary adaptation from the book’s.
This high quality movie is filmed in 35mm with amazing post production and high-end special effects. The crew are well known for their work in music videos, commercials and famous shows in Las Vegas which gave this movie its’ contemporary cachet. An adult movie with mainstream ambition is what we had in mind and succeeded to do.
While it’s doubtful that the producers actually read Carroll’s books, I am confident that they have seen the cartoon, ridden the Disney ride, and/or seen the trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland enough times to crank out a quirky piece of jack-off cinema. And, judging by the trailer and marketing photos, they have also seen Bitch Slap, Donnie Darko, and, maybe even, Falling Down.
The press release goes on to add:
With Sasha Grey we guarantee serious sex- and acting quality. Ron Jeremy makes a dialogue-only appearance as a caricature of himself. The story has all the ingredients one could possibly want : a well thought-of adventure, great sex scenes and rock ‘n roll!
Personally, all I need to see in a porno is one white girl and eight angry black penises. But, I’m a romantic. I do, however, think it’s smart for the producers to point out that Ron Jeremy makes a “dialogue-only appearance.” If I wanted to see a naked fat, old guy with a big cock, I would have never set my uncle Mel on fire while he slept.
Malice in Lalaland arrives on DVD on Jan. 20 For a chance to attend the film’s premiere party in Hollywood, California go here.

There’s been a lot of speculation over what director will take over Sony’s Spiderman reboot now that the studio has severed ties with Sam Raimi. While Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) is rumored to be topping the list, other names in the supposed mix include Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox), David Fincher (Se7en), Nimrod Antal (Predators), and self-proclaimed King-of-the-World James Cameron (Avatar).
Cameron, however, is the first to go on record as not being interested in the Spidey franchise. He tells MTV:
It’s a little bit sloppy seconds, let’s face it. I haven’t gotten a phone call. I don’t expect to — certainly [not] after this interview. But if you’re thinking about it, it’s sloppy seconds. I’m not interested.
Cameron’s Avatarwon a Golden Globe award last night for Best Motion Picture – Drama. The 55-year-old Oscar-winner also took home a Globe for Best Director.
In related news, Sam Raimi may be moving on to helm the World of Warcraft film. I’ll keep you posted.
