Biggest movie franchise of all time, even bigger than Bond and theres 22 of those movies, only 6 Potter films so far.

Makes me laugh every time, now if only Blade could show up in that little coastal town and destroy the Cullen family and give all the fans what they really want, i'd actually pay to see that.

A few movie bits & bobs for you.  

James Cameron talks back to back 'Avatar' sequels

One of the expected, but pleasurable problems of having a $2.7 billion hit these days is that everyone wants to know when the sequel is coming.  James Cameron really didn't have that problem after "Titanic," for obvious reasons, but there was always a lot of attention to what he'd do next.  These days, it seems like a week doesn't go by where Cameron doesn't volunteer information regarding the possibilities of future sequels to the Oscar-winning "Avatar."

Speaking to MTV last week in conjunction with the film's re-release to 3-D and IMAX screens on Aug. 27, Cameron said there's been talk of shooting two new installments back to back.  He also feels that shooting in the motion capture format would also make shooting both films much easier than a traditional live action picture.  However, Cameron's first priority is finishing his "Avatar" novel which will serve as a "bible" for further Pandora adventures.  And yes, he's "taking notes" for a screenplay.



Sly Stallone Wants An Expendables Sequel
"I have an idea ready to go..."

Given the buzz for Sylvester Stallone's testosteronathon The Expendables, which muscles its way into US cinemas this week (and over here the following Thursday), it shouldn't really be a shock to learn that Sly is hoping it'll do well enough to warrant a sequel.

"If this does perform, I think it will open a little more liquidity in funding the sequel," he tells the LA Times. "I have an idea ready to go. People think doing a sequel is easy, but it's not because you need the element of surprise. I'm going to try to do something that's quite radical."

"Quite radical" is one thing, but sadly he wouldn't say any more about what that might entail. He's naturally being cautious – after all, the first Expendables was an effort to find financing and support for, and that's despite the shed load of action talent who had agreed to star in it.

And despite all the goodwill building in the run up to the release, distributor Lionsgate is still licking its wounds from the disappointing performance of Kick-Ass, which had plenty of anticipation but not a huge audience in the end.

Sly, though, is looking on the bright side, and accentuating the positive in what lesser men might see as a serious negative. Apparently, he started to feel more confident about the movie's prospects when he, er, broke his neck on the set. "It's a good omen," he says. "I didn't get a hangnail on the set of Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. " Right. Thanks, Sly. We'd call him a weirdo, but he'd twist our heads off.



The Avengers Has A Start Date
It will film from February 2011



Thor and Captain America are still filming at the moment, but the next Marvel offering, and the team up of those two with Marvel's other favourites in The Avengers, has a start-of-shooting date, and it's February 2011.

That's no great surprise, of course: the film's projected release date of May 4, 2012 means that it will shoot about 15 months before release, which is about standard for a big effects blockbuster these days (3-ish months shooting; 12-ish months post-production).

Still, it's good to know that we're not just dreaming, and Joss Whedon is indeed directing an Avengers movie with Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson. It's the superhero equivalent of the Wu Tang Clan, and we can't wait.



American Werewolf Remake Gets Writer
That's ENOUGH! That's enough...

It's over a year since the announcement that the Weinstein's Dimension Films had picked up the rights to John Landis' howling mad classic. But if you were hoping it had gone away in the wake of the Wolfman debacle, think on. The LA Times reports that a writer is now attached to the remake of An American Werewolf in London.

And it's Fernley Phillips, whose most visible credit to date is writing and co-producing Joel Schumacher's The Number 23, which starred Jim Carrey a couple of years ago. Safe hands then.

The thrust this time round is said to be dramatically different to Landis' classic 1981 original, but we can't really see how, given that the central premise is right there in the title. Could it be (gasp!) two female tourists that stray off the moor? But you may want to take heart that Sean and Bryan Furst are involved on the producing side. Daybreakers, which they oversaw for the Spierig Brothers, was pretty damn nifty (it's arguably a better film of I Am Legend than I Am Legend was) so maybe, just maybe, they've got something up their sleeves that'll surprise everyone.

And An American Werewolf in Paris was pretty awful (even though Julie Delpy was in it), so if this were to franchise out, maybe it'd make for better sequels. What say you?

If you thought the vampire movie genre had reached it's lowest point thanks to crap like Twilight, then this might just end it for good, it's only a 30 minute movie but still.

tisk tisk. horrible.

i'm sure the twilight mums will be hot for it .... that's what they're after and it'll generate some sales, i'd say they're thinking 'job done'.

i'm suprised we havn't had even more stuff like this tbh, Twilight is a big band wagon after all.

I have a long-standing theory that vampires have severe sinus problems.  It's the only logical explanation of why they can't seem to close their mouths.

I thought it was down to all the sh*t they spew out!

Silent Hill 2 Held Up By Manslaughter, Prison Sentence



Roger Avary of Pulp Fiction and Killing Zoe fame wrote the first Silent Hill movie. He was slated to write the second one. Then, the unthinkable happened.

In 2008, an intoxicated Avary was involved in a car accident that left a close friend of his dead, 34-year-old Andreas Zini, and put his wife in the hospital. The Oscar-winning scribe was charged with vehicular manslaughter.

Fast forward to fall 2009 when the filmmaker began blogging from what seemed like prison — it was later revealed that he was tweeting from a Ventura County work furlough program and not in "prison" per se. Avary was sent to prison for the rest of his one year-sentence. He did not tweet his experiences.

Horror magazine asked Silent Hill 2 producer Don Carmody about the status of the picture. "A little stalled now because of [writer/director] Roger Avary's [legal problems], so a little unsure yet," Carmody told Fangoria. "The original plan was Roger writing and polishing the screenplay, and when he had finished his thing, we'd begin full-blown preproduction." He is not sure of the current status.

"We know we want to make Silent Hill 2 and have a basic outline for it. We'll have to see."

Avary apparently was released from Ventura County Prison last month. He has not updated his Twitter account since last November.
