Ratner Talks BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 Rating & Timeframe!! But How Many $$$s Are Needed To Drag Eddie Back??

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.

ABC Remembers FORGOTTEN, <br>Makes EASTWICK Disappear!!<br>

I am – Hercules!!

ABC’s “Eastwick” will cease production after its 13th episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The network meanwhile has expanded its first-season order for “The Forgotten” by five episodes, but is apparently ditching "Forgotten" showrunner Lukas Reiter (“Close to Home,” “The Philanthropist”).

“Eastwick” was stronger in 18-49 than “The Forgotten” at the start of the season, but now “Forgotten” is the healthier of the two:

1.9 (2.0) (1.9) (2.0) (1.9) (2.0) (2.6) The Forgotten

We got a glowing review of Michael Caine's return to revenge cinema: HARRY BROWN!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a review from talkbacker The Lonely Dachshund who got to see the Michael Caine old-man-kicking-ass revenge flick HARRY BROWN.

No hyperbole here, but Harry Brown is one of my most anticipated flicks in the can. When I sat down with Michael Caine earlier this year he described it as what would have happened if Jack Carter had lived to a ripe old age and was called back into action. This film promises to be everything I wanted out of GRAN TORINO and didn't get...

Here's Mr. Dachshund's thoughts on the film!

Harry claws to learn from Joe Johnston on WOLFMAN set!!!

Hey folks, Harry here with my chat with Joe Johnston that took place in the Talbot family home. There was a ton of last act spoiler activity going on around us, but the Talbot Manor was exquisite. Very much the home of a hunter, taxidermy abounded. Just loved it. Now - you have to know that this was about two months prior to Joe committing to CAPTAIN AMERICA - so that wasn't even a topic that anyone knew to discuss.
