Merrick here...
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.

I am – Hercules!!
John Dahl is one of the greatest creators of low-grossing movies alive (rent “Red Rock West” at once if you don’t know what I’m talking about) and tonight he turns his attention to Showtime’s favorite scheming psychopath.
Chicago’s “Capone” returns his gaze to Miami:

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here, with the list of the lucky winners who get to spend some quality time with Mr. Paul Rudd at a screening of his latest film, ROLE MODELS. Those of you who won the "Why I'd Be a Terrible Role Model" contest should have received an email from me by now with the details of this event. If your name is on this list, and you did not receive an email, let me know right away.

Hey folks, Harry here... What A Bummer! I followed up with Frank Darabont about the below story, and unfortunately it is true. Frank and the production parted ways over a week ago. Oh well, my enthusiasm for the production has now ebbed.

Hey folks, Harry here... I was chatting with FatherGeek yesterday about how 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD was ripped off at the Oscars. That the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences failed to give Harryhausen the effects award for 7TH VOYAGE... and instead gave it to George Pal's TOM THUMB... ANGER. FURY. So much so, that I kinda already hate this new version, just because I've never really recovered from the stunning omission in Academy history. Yeah, I know that's petty... but I'll give you another reason...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a real hang-loose type interview I did with Gil Kenan, director of CITY OF EMBER, which opens today, as well MONSTER HOUSE.
Kenan came through Austin to show the flick at Fantastic Fest, bringing Bill Murray in tow. I didn’t get a chance to interview Mr. Murray, but I did get a chance to shake his hand get in some small talk, which rocked my socks off. I can’t believe I spoke with Peter Venkman…

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here, with my second report about my recent QUANTUM OF SOLACE adventures in London. I've already filled you in on the centerpiece of my four-day, three-night journey--interviews with QUANTUM director Marc Forster and James Bond himself, Daniel Craig--but the good folks at Columbia/Sony Pictures had many an activity planned for myself and small group of online journalists.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
At 58%, Rotten Tomatoes is being generous with this film.
Look, I love Ridley Scott as a visual filmmaker. I think he’s got an exceptional eye, and his sense of how to stage a sequence has gotten more and more impressive over time.

It wasn’t that long ago that I had very little interest in seeing a movie called ROLE MODELS. It seemed from the first trailer to be a saccharine sweet buddy film about grown children that learn to become MEN. And that stuff, like saccharine… gives ya cancer. I’m serious. If you just watch films about juvenile young men putting their childish sides aside… you will develop EYE CANCER.

A post-apocalyptic children’s film about the Morlock existence of humanity after… the big… whatever happened. That’s CITY OF EMBER. At no point do we know what year the world came to an end. Nor do we know what year the City of Ember was constructed or inhabited. We know from the pre-credit sequence that it seemed to have been made years before the end. The concept was that the people of Ember knew nothing of the outside world, so that when the outside world came to an end, they would not feel the loss for what was lost.

When AICN hosted its screening for SEX DRIVE last month, I was a little nervous. Though I was secure in my assessment of the film as a quality throwback to the best teen sex comedies of the 1980s, I was worried that I'd oversold it. After all, my first viewing was ideal; aside from a "Hey, I know you!" interview with Clark Duke at Comic Con and a fairly amusing red-band trailer, I walked in knowing next to nothing about the movie. At best, I was hoping for a quick, painless, intermittently amusing ninety minutes.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We just got a tipoff from someone in the know at Disney that Glen Keane is stepping down as director of the upcoming Disney animation film RAPUNZEL.
Keane is most known as a great animator having worked on Disney's animated films starting with THE RESCUERS. He's had his hand in everything from PETE'S DRAGON (one of my favorites), THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE, THE LITTLE MERMAID, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ALADDIN, POCAHONTAS and TARZAN (the latter two he also helped write).
