Adam Scott Says 'Party Down' Movie Could Be Shooting Next Summer Sadly, some of the greatest shows are ones that find their audience too little too late. Some include "Arrested Development," "Veronica Mars," both Joss Whedon's "Firefly" and "Dollhouse" and another series among them is the Starz Network's "Party Down", co-created by Paul Ruddand "Mars" creator Rob Thomasand starring Adam Scott, Martin Starr, Jane Lynch, and Lizzy Caplan. Like its fellow doomed series, "Party Down" has been promised to return in film form but just like many of the series in the same boat, has failed to come to fruition. However, Scott says that could actually change next summer. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Adam Scott Says 'Party Down' Movie Could Be Shooting Next Summer | FirstShowing.net

Surprise 8-Minute Trailer for Fincher's 'Dragon Tattoo' Being Screened [video=youtube;XefybDrBGSs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XefybDrBGSs[/video] Earlier this week I received a mysterious email alerting me that there was a screening of Rod Lurie's Straw Dogsremake on Wednesday night that I reallyneeded to attend. I had no clue what to expect, but was surprised to find before the film an 8-minute long promo trailer for David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoofeaturing Trent Reznor's score and tons of stunning Fincher footage from the remake. The film's story is incredibly complex, based on Stieg Larsson's novels, and the full trailer introduces a lot of the characters and elements of that story before getting into flashes of scenes with a pounding score at the end. :demonangel: HIT THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Surprise 8-Minute Trailer for Fincher's 'Dragon Tattoo' Being Screened | FirstShowing.net
J.J. Abrams is Committed to Start Shooting 'Star Trek 2' This Winter Back in July came somewhat of a confirmed update that J.J. Abrams, the director who quite successfully rebooted the Star Trekfranchise in 2009, would be returning to direct the sequel, but the proposed summer 2012 release date was being pushed back to allow for a non-rushed completion of the script. Since then Abrams has skirted the issue of confirming his return to the director's chair. But now apparently Vulture has learned Abrams is fully committed to shooting the sequel himself, pre-production is underway, the script will be finished by the end of the month, and the film will begin shooting this winter. :demonangel: HIT THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: J.J.

?The Thing? TV Spots Tease New Creature Effects [video=youtube;S8a8WeHekVs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8a8WeHekVs&feature=player_embedded[/video] A lot of people still seem to be under the misapprehension that this fall?s*The Thingis a remake of John Carpenter?s cult-classic sci-fi/horror thriller - not only because it has the same title, but also due to the virtually identical plots of the two films (namely, scientists in the Antarctic discover a chameleon-like parasite that kills them one by one).The Thingtrailer helped reverse misconceptions by revealing that this new movie actually revolves around the doomed Norwegian expedition that uncovered the titular extraterrestrial, prior to the events of Carpenter?s 1982 film. However, the footage unveiled from the Thingprequel was also so similar to its predecessor that it left many people wondering whether the new movie would still feel like a remake (or, rather, a ripoff). :demonangel: HIT THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: ‘The Thing’ TV Spots Tease New Creature Effects | Screen Rant
?Adventures of Tintin? Images Bring The Comic Book To Life This winter?s The Adventures of Tintinis rather like the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spyadaptation ? going off the creative talent involved, it seems near impossible that the movie will turn out badly.A previously-released international trailer for Tintin teased it as being an energetic and imaginative old-fashioned adventure that properly realizes its beloved comic book source material, created by writer/illustrator Georges Prosper Remi (a.k.a.*Hergé). What many found less impressive, however, was the film?s use of motion-capture technology to bring its (literally) animated characters to life.Several new images from The Adventures of Tintinhave been released online, offering a better look at the film?s human characters (and Snowy the dog). What really matters is how they look in motion, not in still frames ? nonetheless, these stills offer a nice preview of the final product. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: ‘Adventures of Tintin’ Images Bring The Comic Book To Life | Screen Rant
