Wednesday is here with the following from the film world:
Now that Seth Rogen appears to be seeing “Rogen-fatigue” at the box office (see Observe & Report’s less than stellar open), we need something to excite us about his upcoming Green Hornet film. Director Michel Gondry is that reason. At [Splash Page] he reveals his fight filming techniques. From this end, it could make the film worth watching (and yes, that is high praise from me).
Kristin Bell will star in You Again, playing a girl who discovers her brother is marrying her nemesis from high school. [Celebrity Cafe] Film is to be directed by Andy Flickman of The Race To Witch Mountain fame.
[IGN Film Force] has a video interview with Rob Zombie from the set of Halloween sequel H2. [Entertainment Today & Beyond] also has thoughts about the film and the idea that Myers will be without a mask for most of the film.
Cam Gigandet, of Twilight fame, will be a Roommate in a new horror film. [Dread Central] He plays a boyfriend, not the scary stalker guy. Boo.
Brett Ratner speaks to [Movieline] about “disemboweling a ghost.” It’s a little off the beaten path, but gives a little more insight into the director’s tastes (for those that openly bash him for Rush Hour alone).
The Visitor’s Richard Jenkins will continue to get work as well as Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts. [Screenhead] You take out the praying, that is a legitimate life you have going there.
Though not directly related to film, the web is abuzz with “former” film star Lindsay Lohan’s eHarmony ad. I guess we should share it with you, if you haven’t seen it. [Superficial] And to think she was a BreaknecK rap focal-point during an old hit. “I’ll rub Lindsay Lohan with a slow hand.” Classic material.
