'Jack and Jill' trailer stinks big time

The trailer for Dennis Dugan's next shitty movie is here. It's titled "Jack and Jill," it stars Adam Sandler in two roles (as if one weren't enough already), and it pretty much looks like the worst film of the decade. In fact, this trailer is so terrible, I couldn't even watch it all the way through.

Sandler plays Jack, a family man who struggles to deal with his sister Jill (also Sandler) when she visits and won't leave. Yes it sounds stupid, and yes, it will be stupid, I guarantee it. This holiday season, all I wish for is an end to all those Dennis Dugan/Adam Sandler collaborations.

For some odd reason, Katie Holmes and Al Pacino also ended up in this mess. The good thing is that "Jack and Jill" won't be release until Nov. 11, 2011. Either way, the people responsible for funding films like this one should be sent to, let's say, the moon. We don't deserve this...

Trailer for 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'

Crrrreeeeeeeeppppyyy is the word to use here! The new trailer for the Guillermo del Toro-produced horror thriller "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" has arrived online, and it sure looks damn scary. Definitely something I'm looking forward to see. But not until Aug. 26, 2011. See the trailer below.

The story? A young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own. Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison (good actress, but she annoyed the heck out of me in "Just Go with It") star.

Guillermo del Toro co-wrote the script, and Troy Nixey directed. I have to say this again: "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" looks very promising. It opens in theaters Aug. 26, 2011.

Katie Holmes joins 'Jack and Jill' comedy

Yes, Katie Holmes is still acting, and she's currently in negotiations to star in Dennis Dugan's upcpoming Columbia Pictures comedy "Jack and Jill," which also stars Adam Sandler and Al Pacino.

THR says Sandler plays Jack, a family man who struggles to deal with his sister when she visits and won't leave. Here comes the shocker: Sandler will play both characters. Holmes plays Jack's wife.

Katie Holmes hasn't done anything major since "Batman Begins," but her recent smaller roles include "Mad Money," "The Romantics," "The Son of No One" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."

Daily news dose: Will Ferrell leaves 'Neighborhood;' Could Katie Holmes star in 'Sex and the City 2'?

Here's your dose of film news for August 3, 2009:

• Will Ferrell was attached to star in and David Dobkin ("Fred Claus") was set to direct 20th Century Fox's comedy "Neighborhood Watch," but both exited the project, according to Variety. The film follows a city guy who moves to suburbia, joins the neighborhood watch, and quickly uncovers a major conspiracy.

• This is just a rumor at this point, but according to TVNZ, Katie Holmes has been approached to star in "Sex and the City 2." Apparently, Holmes would play big-time company executive who will clash with Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones. I'll believe it when I see her on the screen.

• Earlier this year we found out Fox is prepping "Hitman 2," and according to ComingSoon, Timothy Olyphant said he may return as Agent 47 if the studio wanted him back. "If they want me to do another one, I supposed they could have me, yes," he said.

Kline, Holmes, Reilly to star in 'The Extra Man'

Kevin Kline, Paul Dano, Katie Holmes and John C. Reilly have signed on to star in Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's new comedy "The Extra Man."

Variety describes the plot as follows:

"Kline plays a failed playwright who works as an escort for rich widows on the Upper East Side. He develops a mentor-student relationship with a troubled aspiring playwright (Dano)."

The film is based on the novel by Jonathan Ames, who wrote the screenplay with Springer Berman and Pulcini. The duo's directing credits include "The Nanny Diaries" and the superb "American Splendor."

Kline is just the right guy to play a failed playwright. The actor was last seen in "Definitely, Maybe." As for Dano, he most recently delivered a superb performance in "There Will Be Blood."

Holmes' last film was the crappy "Mad Money," while Reilly was last seen in the mildly funny comedy "Step Brothers."
