Early last month, Brett Ratner did an interview with MTV regarding BEVERLY HILLS COP 4.
A particular quote in the interview lead many to the logical conclusion that the new BHC project would have a considerably softer tone/rating than its predecessors.
When asked what is biggest challenge would be, Ratner seemed to indicate that his new film would be geared towards a very PG audience.

In MEET THE FOCKERS, the 2004 sequel to MEET THE PARENTS, we were introduced to Bernie and Rozalin Focker (Ben Stiller's parents). Now that a new FFOCKERS film is rolling around, there's been some question as to who'll return.

John Hlavin, a writer on THE SHILED, will script a new UNDERWORLD film. No word on who'll direct or star, although Len Wiseman (who directed the first two films and produced the third) will produce.

TWILIGHT: NEW MOON is expected to open to $100 million this weekend, and I refuse to believe that anyone who pays to see this non-movie will enjoy it as anything other than a shameless melange of pasty skin, chiseled abs and tween-emo longing. It's garbage. And while I'm aware there are people who mistake the torpidity of these films for tragic depth, it's my hope that many of them will soon be exposed to Jane Austen as more than a cheap allusion, at which point they'll realize - with horror-struck remorse - the ignorant error of their youth.

Hey folks, Harry here... Earlier tonight I was at the Alamo Drafthouse South - where in the lobby there was a striking (pun intended) Standee for PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF. It is the poster art, but with Percy Jackson throwing a flashing and thundering lightning bolt. Just in time for all the NEW MOON girls to notice(?) as they ponder bloodsports or bestiality. Then I spy the new trailer online and I get what Fox hopes happens with this series.

Hey folks, Harry here having just returned from the gloriousness of Werner Herzog's BAD LT... and I'm giddy. Crazy movies like that are way too few and far between... That said, I come home to a new look at the HUMAN TECH of AVATAR featurette... and yeah we all need to see this movie now. Oh - and watch out at your local theaters - there's roving gangs of women laying siege. Tis crazy out there...

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago.
I told you I'd be hounding you guys with all sorts of teasers and clips for the upcoming splendor that is UP IN THE AIR, which our own Copernicus declared "the film to beat for Best Picture this year." I happen to concur.
Today, I've got clip given exclusively to AICN that features the film's star, George Clooney, and the always-excellent Jason Bateman, who plays Clooney's boss, who is announcing his intention to saddle the solitude-oriented Clooney with a temporary partner. Enjoy!

“Lost” will air at 9 p.m. Tuesdays instead of in its traditional Wednesday berth, ABC announced Thursday.
This suggests it will have to contend with Fox’s top-rated megahit “American Idol,” which often airs in both the 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. timeslots on Wednesdays.
I think this is “Lost’s” first time on Tuesday.

One of my Twitter folk kindly pointed me towards GALAXY QUEST: GLOBAL WARNING, a comic miniseries that continues the adventures of the GQ crew.

UP IN THE AIR is the film to beat for Best Picture this year. But to
call it Best Picture is to diminish it. Best Pictures come at the
whim of a fickle Academy that makes choices that don’t always stand
the test of time. UP IN THE AIR is a rarer bird – the kind of film
that announces that there is a new important director on the scene –
one for the A-list. Jason Reitman has already shown promise with his
previous efforts, THANK YOU FOR SMOKING, and JUNO. But promise isn’t
the word for UP IN THE AIR – it is something closer to mastery.
