Courteney Cox gives quick 'Scream IV update!

Courtney Cox in Scream

Courteney Cox is excited to return to horror in the upcoming sequel "Scream IV," and the actress recently gave the Associated Press a short update on where she thinks her character will be in the fourth film.

"They're probably back living in Woodsboro," she said. "I think that he's probably still deputy, and I've had a lot of kids. I don't know. I'm probably miserable, and then I'm sure a lot of murdering will happen."

Is she serious? I don't know, and I don't care. I'm glad she's back as part of the original cast, and so is husband David Arquette and Neve Campbell, who played Sidney Prescott in the previous flicks.

In case you missed it: 'Saw VII 3D' date set

A quick peek at the IMDb page for Twisted Pictures' next "Saw" film "Saw VII 3D" shows David Hackl's film will open in theaters Oct. 22, 2010. And yes, as the title suggests, it will be shot and released in 3D.

Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton return to write the seventh installment in the horror series. As you may have heard already, an eighth film will also happen. In fact, we'll "Saw" films as long as they make money.

Now, "Saw VI," the latest sequel, really tanked at the box office (the total currently stands at $27 million domestically), and Lionsgate recently blamed it on "Paranormal Activity." What a lame excuse.

So yeah, look for more Jigsaw and co. next year... and the one after that... and maybe even the one after...

'Why Did I Get Married Too' teaser trailer hits

Tyler Perry's 2007 comedy/drama "Why Did I Get Married?" was a big box office success, so he decided to follow-up with a sequel. Bad idea? I sure think so. Check out the film's teaser after the jump.

In the sequel, a bunch of couples go on their annual vacation, where things spin out of control and they fall victim to some heavy drama. As this teaser suggests, it will be verrrrrryyyyyyy dramatic, indeed.

I think that's also where I fail to connect with this preview. I really loved the first film because it made me laugh a lot, but this looks like something out of a depressing horror film, don't you think?

Ouch! Bella bleeds in new 'New Moon' clip

New Moon

It's another bright day for Twilighters, because MTV has just released a brand-new clip from Chris Weitz's upcoming "Twilight" sequel "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." Check it out after the jump.

And yes, Bella (Kristen Stewart) does bleed in this one-minute clip, which shows her enjoying some awkward time with the Cullen clan, including her vampire sweetheart Edward (Robert Pattinson).

As you know by now, the vamps adore blood and all, which makes this particular situation even more awkward. Poor Bella! In fact, this whole clip just feels a little awkward to me, but see for yourself.

'Men in Black 3' now in development

Men in Black 2

I don't think this is a real surprise, right? Considering franchise after franchise is being revived or rebooted or whatever right now, it would look weird if we didn't hear back from the "Men in Black."

As Variety reports, Columbia Pictures is definitely moving ahead with "Men in Black 3," and the studio has hired Etan Cohen to write the script for the third installment in the popular (and funny) sci-fi series.

Cohen co-wrote Ben Stiller's hilarious war comedy "Tropic Thunder." His recent credits also include "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." He is also working on a "Sherlock Holmes" comedy and "Candy Land."

Movie Review: “Saw VI”

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Seen on: October 23, 2009

The players: Director: Kevin Greutert, Writers: Marcus Dunstan, Patrick Melton, Cast: Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Mark Rolston, Betsy Russell, Shawnee Smith

Facts of interest: None.

The plot: When the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood.

Our thoughts: Kevin Greutert’s “Saw VI” definitely fails to revitalize the popular big-screen horror series, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s not as bad an installment as its two most recent predecessors. One thing is for certain though: this sixth film is still bloody and gives cinemagoers a better insight into Jigsaw’s entire scheme.

'Stomp the Yard 2' finds director

Stomp the Yard

I know this is absolutely no news to you, but I like to repeat it every now and then: there is absolutely no hope left for Hollywood. The sloppy sequels and remakes are winning, and it gets worse every day.

As you may have heard, Sylvain White's "Stomp the Yard" is getting a sequel too, and the film now officially has a director: Rob Hardy, who helmed 2005's "The Gospel" and produced the first "Yard."

The follow-up to the mediocre drama is titled "Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming," and as The Hollywood Reporter points out, Columbus Short ("Armored") may return as a talented street dancer.

No need to explain what happened in the first film, because you can guess it already from these few words: street dancer, college, and zzzzzzzzz.... The first film bagged more then $74 million, by the way.

Teaser for 'Nanny McPhee' sequel hits

A first teaser trailer for Susanna White's upcoming sequel "Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang" has debuted on the Web earlier today, and you can check it out after the jump. It's short, so don't expect much.

In the follow-up to the 2005 family flick, Emma Thompson returns as the strict nanny who uses magic to get energetic kids under control and battle a villain while she's at it. The film opens in 2010.

As you can see below, the teaser is short and doesn't give us much story. It does gives us flying pigs though, and to be honest, that's not exactly stunning. I hope the "Big Bang" has more in store for us.

That said, count me among those who highly enjoyed the first film. It was goofy and fun, heartfelt and innovative, and it's something I can easily watch again. Plus, Emma Thompson is great, as usual.

Oh! First photos from 'Eclipse' hit the web

Thanks to the wonderful world of the wide Web, Twilighters can lead a happy existence, primarily because they can log on everyday and expect some kind of "Twilight" news spreading like a real plague.

Okay, I better pick my words carefully, because I'm definitely not in the mood for a series of attacks by crazy Twilighters angry at me for comparing the "Twilight" craze to a plague. Let me move on, then...

The first photos from David Slade's "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" have found their way to the online world. The pics have been scanned from a magazine, so don't expect awesome quality. See below.

What's up with 'Independence Day 2'?

Master destroyer Roland Emmerich wants to do another "Independence Day," but apparently, it's not that easy to get the ball rolling on a sequel to the 1996 sci-fi hit flick, which bagged $817 million worldwide.

Emmerich is currently out promoting his new action film "2012," and the guys at Latino Review asked the filmmaker about the status of a potential second "ID4." Right now, things don't look all that great.

Emmerich said he and Dean Devlin are ready to develop the project, but Fox is having issues working out the filmmakers' and Will Smith's deals. And, of course, you can't have "ID4" without Will, right?
