Like most fathers, mine always wants the best for me. “Son,” he says, “I hope that, if you ever get see a ‘Wonder Woman’ TV series in your lifetime, the actress playing the part is even hotter than Linda Carter was in my day. You deserve that much.”
My dad’s dream for me almost came to fruition when NBC ordered a pilot from writer/producer David E. Kelly for a new WW show with the very hot Adrianne Palicki in the role of the Amazonian heroine. But, alas, it was not meant to be.
Fortunately, someone managed to creep into NBC president Robert Greenblatt’s bedroom and swipe the pilot episode from underneath his mattress. Various clips from the show have gone online, but I am posting the one that features Palicki kicking ass in her short, star-spangled Underoos (Dad would want it that way).
Relativity has released promo stills from its upcoming Edgar Allan Poe based thriller The Raven. Among them is a first look at British stunner Alice Eve in her Victorian costume. The 29-year-old plays Poe’s wife Virginia Clemm-Poe.
Set in 1849 Baltimore, The Raven follows author Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) as he attempts to rescue his wife (Eve) from a serial killer who is tailoring his murders to match the deaths found in the novelist’s most popular books. The film, directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta), arrives in theaters on March 9, 2012.
Eve will next be seen in director Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black 3-D, in which she plays MIB head Olivia circa 1960, and in director David Brooks’ serial killer frightener ATM. She had been set to star in 20th Century Fox’s recent superhero flick X-Men: First Class, but lost the part to “Mad Men’s” January Jones.
George Lucas and 20th Century Fox know that you can not resist the power of Star Wars. With the beloved Saga coming to Blu-ray disc on Sept. 16, marketing teams have been deployed to convince you that—despite owning the films on VHS, Laser Disc, and DVD—Blu-ray is the format you are looking for.
Attendees at the 9th annual Star Wars Fan Movie Awards, held last night at Comic-Con in San Diego, were treated to a short sizzle reel showcasing deleted scenes from the Saga that will be available on the BD. Watch it you must:
Prom Night starlet Brittany Snow returns to the horror genre in Periscope Entertainment’s fucked-up frightener Would You Rather. The pretty 25-year-old toplines a cast that includes Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator), Robin Lord Taylor (Another Earth), Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (“The Wire”), John Heard (“Prison Break”) and Sasha Grey (Cum Fart Cocktails 5).
Directed by Periscope CEO David Guy Levy, the film stars Snow as a desperate woman out to save her ailing brother’s life by competing in a demented mogul’s (Combs) gruesome game of “Would You Rather.” Shooting is currently underway in Los Angeles.
Would You Rather marks Snow’s return to horror since starring as the female lead in Sony Screen Gems 2008 remake of the 1980 Canadian slasher Prom Night. The Florida-born actress was at one time set to star as Alyssa in the big screen adaptation of Capcom’s survival game Clock Tower, but the film remains in production limbo.
Footage from writer/director Andrew Niccol’s (Gattaca) upcoming sci-fi dystopian-thriller In Time (previously entitled Now) was premiered today at the film’s Comic-Con panel. Clocking in at almost four-minutes, the reel sets up Niccol’s story about a futuristic society where people physically stop aging at 25 and must find ways to buy or exchange time to live on.
Justin Timberlake stars as Will, a fugitive wanted for taking time that is not legally his. Amanda Seyfried is his hostage-turned-ally Sylvia, a bored-to-death socialite with too much time on her hands. Together they try to stay ahead of gangster Fortis and Time Keeper Raymond Leon, played by Alex Pettyfer and Cillian Murphy, respectively.
Olivia Wilde is also along for the ride as Will’s insanely hot mom.
If it’s Halloween, it must be SAW … oh, wait, I mean Paranormal Activity.
Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for the third installment of its lucrative horror movie franchise Paranormal Activity. Directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the guys behind last year’s creepy social media suspense tale Catfish, the new film serves as a prequel set in 1988.
Peep it:
Wow, after all these years, the Bloody Mary legend still freaks me the fuck out. I’m hooked. I look forward to seeing what else Joost and Schulman bring to the table. Catfish wasn’t a horror movie, but it was all white-knuckle up until the reveal.
Paranormal Activity 3 arrives in theaters on Oct. 21.
Hilary Swank is set to produce and star in a big screen adaptation of the Radical comic “Shrapnel.” The 36-year-old Oscar winner will play Samantha “Sam” Vijaya, a toothy, but sexy, former war hero in the year 2250 who takes up arms to defend colonists on Venus, the planet where she lives in exile.
Says Swank:
I am a fan of the work that Barry Levine and Radical Pictures are doing in the comic and action arena. Shrapnel and specifically the character of Sam offer me the opportunity to dive into an exciting character with many layers and depth that are rarely found in this genre.
Swank’s genre creds include Dark Castle’s end-of-days frightener The Reaping, Paramount’s sci-fi actioner The Core, Brian De Palma’s The Black Dahlia, Chris Nolan’s Insomnia, Sam Raimi’s The Gift,and, most recently, the Hammer Films stalker-thriller The Resident.
Favreau—not one to let genre fans down—captured the glorious moment on video, giving us a glimpse of the girls as they play with lightsabers, figurines, and Darth Vader’s helmet. Foot and shoe fetishists will also enjoy the sexy, strappy stripper-heels on display throughout (not that I know of such things).
Universal is laying out the welcome mat to its upcoming psych-thriller Dream House with a lengthy trailer that gives just about everything away but the kitchen sink. Directed by six-time Oscar nominee Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot), the film stars Daniel Craig as a dedicated family man investigating the murders that occurred in his recently purchased home.
Costars include Rachel Weisz (Oz, the Great and Powerful), Naomi Watts (The Ring), Marton Csokas (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King), Rachel Fox (“Desperate Housewives”), and Elias Koteas (Shutter Island).

OK, so it’s not really Twilight actress Kristen Stewart. Still, we can learn a lot from this K-Stu impersonator’s keen observations of the notoriously awkward starlet. I, for one, now see potential stardom in my brooding tween daughter’s future and will fully encourage her self-cutting, socially bumbling ways (Hello Hollywood!).
