Carrie - the remake



Here is a great prediction and comparison for the original Carrie and the remake coming out soon: Kimmy at Page to Premiere writes a great comparison and prediction here.

I think she hits it right on. The original is just that, the original. It is epic and catures the raw emotion of the horror perfectly. I don't think it can be touched. To be honest, I feel that way about a lot of remakes, but especially horrors. The older versions may not have the special FX or CGI but the emotion is real.

What will they reshoot for Breaking Dawn Part 2?

We already know Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Michael Sheen are in Vancouver, with more likely on the way.

Given what we know SO FAR, what can we guess they are re-shooting in Vancouver?

Given who is here, we can narrow down which scenes they are touching up/reshooting.... Michael Sheen + Kristen Stewart + Robert Pattinson in 2nd half of Breaking Dawn = ?

My guesses:
-close-up's conversations regarding Renesme
-Close-up mind reading
-close-up battle
-


I keep saying close-ups because in those scenes there are others and with just those known to be in town, it would be close-ups. Plus in film editing sometimes they have certain shots but missed a close-up or an angle or want to add/re-do a few lines and need the actors.... I don't know.... I wish i had the call sheet... heh heh

What else do you think?

Predictions for True Blood Season 4 - based on 8 minute preview

Last week I posted the first 8 minutes of True Blood Season4 opening episode... Here it is again for those of you living under a rock...




I also watched "True Blood: Digging Up Season 3" where we reviewed last season and had interview with cast as well as a brief promo for Season 4 with some hints as to what is to come... mainly - WITCHES!!!

Flavor Wire wrote up some predictions based on the 8 minutes we got of the first episode.... Read on if you want to hear their predictions...

More...


Sookie’s fairy godmother: In the first seconds of the clip, Sookie learns that she has a fairy godmother — and proceeds to take her to task for doing a terrible job as a protector. But the fairy godmother’s visible discomfort during their introduction seems to signal that’s she’s hiding something. Is she more than just a “godmother” to Sookie? How much does she realize about and how complicit is she in the fairy realm’s dark side?

Grandaddy: The fact that, when Sookie first lays eyes on him, he looks just like he did in her memory suggests that he may not be who she thinks he is at all. Also suspicious is the fact that he jumps through the portal with Sookie, despite the fact that he’s just been told he can’t travel between worlds (although it’s certainly possible that this is simply a selfless act of love). If he is who he says he is, will the journey kill him?

Queen Mab: The clip does a good job of characterizing Queen Mab — the fairy queen who first appeared in Mercutio’s crazy speech in Romeo and Juliet and soon popped up everywhere from Shelley’s poetry to Sense and Sensibility – as we know her from literature. A mischievous and theatrical “midwife” of dreams, she’s also know for wreaking havoc on entire populations. So, it should be pretty entertaining to watch her prepare for this human “harvest” she’s so fixated on.

Fairies and witches: It seems likely, based on this preview, that this season will feature a fairly elaborate fairy subplot. And in the Season 4 trailers we’ve already seen, a coven of witches will also be taking up residence in Bon Temps. What do fairies and witches have in common? Magic and an enemy — vampires. So, will they be friends or rivals?

Sookie:
At the end of last season, it seemed like Sookie was pretty much finished with vampires. But, besides the obvious reality that ending things with both Bill and Eric forever would be terrible for the show, it looks like the witch-and-fairy business will have her thrust back into bloodsucker drama before long. Still, it seems possible that she’ll spend much of the season under neither vampire’s power.



How about you, readers? What do you think will happen in Season 4, based on this preview of the premiere?

My Casting Thoughts for the Hunger Games Series

If you have not read Hunger Games - DO IT!


I delayed, and delayed and then once I began, there was no stopping me.

I rushed through all three novels in about a week and I loved them!

They will be made into movies and I predict they will be VERY popular.... I plan to blog more about the books and the films as they get going.

At this point there is not any official casting done, but I already have my own ideas on who to cast.

First, let's hear what others say.



Leave Comments on your casting of Hunger Games Below....
•Katniss – Kaya Scodelatio
•Peeta – Hunter Parish
•Gale – Gaspard Uliel
•Effie – Kristin Chenoweth
•Haymitch – Hugh Laurie


After reading several comments and posts from other fan sites here are some suggestions and my own thoughts.

KATNISS:
Erin Sanders:


Deffo has potential. THough not how I pictured her.

Alexandra Daddario:



NGL She wasn't my first pick but she would do a damn good job... I mean she has the PERFECT look!!! I like her a lot!

Chloe Moretz:

To me she looks too young, though after Kick Ass we know she is tough!

lyndsy fonseca:


I really like her as an actress and I think she has the look but maybe a bit old? NIkita is good, she plays a tough chikita, so she could handle Katniss character.

Willa Holand:



She has serious potential also. THey all seem too old though, I mean there are three movies to film! She urkes me (well her character on the Gossip Girl does)

Kaya Scodelario:


Not bad! Not Great.

MALESE JOW:


Cute, but I prefer others.

Hailee Steinfeld:


Younger than many of the other names being tossed around which is likely better if they film all three in the next few years. She has the look and the oomf.

Saorise Ronan:


Looks too whimisical and innocent for me.

Jodelle Ferland:




I am bias because Jodelle is a local, she was in Twilight, she is a total doll and I thinks he would do a great job.. she is a bit pale, a bit innocent, but I think she would do a great job!

THOUGHTS????????????????

PEETA:

CHORD OVERSTREET


Not exactly how I pictured him but pretty close. I love him on Glee think he could be perfect! I kind of want a slightly older Peetah and Gale so I don't feel like a perv having a crush on them ha ha

Alex Pettyfer:


Again, not a bad choice, but something is slightly off from how I pictured him. He has a bit too much of a bad boy streak in his appearence I think. Better as Finnick maybe?

Hunter Parrish:


Not how I pictured him but very fitting. Or maybe as Cinna?

Lucas Till:


Cute but not quite right in my opinion.

GALE:
Drew Roy:


I have to say he is pretty perfect. Not how I imagined exactly, but pretty close. rawr

Darren Criss:


Let's just load this movie up with Glee cast ;) ha ha but I think he is stunning, though not sure "tough" enough. Obv. cut his hair ;)

Gaspard Ulliel:


Not bad, not bad at all.

Adam Gregory:


Oh very nice to look at but a bit too pretty, I see more roughness...

Eric Dill:


Not a fan so much for Gale.

Avan JOgia:


Nope, not for me.

Logan Henderson:


Better than Eric Dill but still not quite right.

PRIM:

Abagail Breslin:


She has the look but is a bit older than this photo.


RUE:

Madison Pettis:


Not how I imagined her when I read but def. could work!

Willow Smith:


No, I only see her dad when I look at her ha ha.

Elle Fanning:

Dakota's lil sister? That would be cute! But better as Prim than Rue!

HAYMITCH:

Hugh Laurie:


Not one I would have thought of myself, but a great choice! Apparently he is NOT in the running.

RD Jr


He has so many looks I think they could make him up perfectly if they wanted to.

steve buscemi:


OMG this is the kind of attitude in a guy I thought of while reading, though not the exact look.

Sean Bean:


Great Look! Almost dead on how I saw him reading! I LIKE I LIKE!

Effie:

kristin chenoweth


Again, not who I would have thought of, but a good pick? Who else?

Finnick:
Freddie Stroma:


Wow! I didn't picture him exactly this way but this way is very good indeed! Momma Likey!



Some have him as Peeta but I think he's a better Finnick.


Lot's of sites have done their own predictions:


JabberJays call their dream cast: From left to right; top to bottom: Hunter Parrish, Kaya Scodelario, Drew Roy, Julie Benz, Elle Fanning, AnnaSophia Robb, Hugo Weaving, Thomas Dekker, Justin Kirk, Kristin Chenoweth, and Unknows.)



I am tired... What about Cinna? President Snow? Foxface? Cato and Clove? Greasy Sae? Others?

COmment your ideas and I will update this with more pix and names soon!

Remember Me #1 Campaign worth it?


Apparently this is the new mission for Robert Pattinson fans via Remember Me Fan Campaign Website...

As some of you know from reading on the RM IMDb board, we have been planning a campaign to try and help Remember Me open at #1. This is a completely fan-driven event and the only way the word will get out and things will happen is if you guys who want Rob to succeed in his first movie outside of Twilight can help.

*Note -- We will be adding campaigns for the other actors including Emilie, Chris, Pierce and Tate ASAP.

The first part of the campaign is in support of Rob and getting his fans to bring family and friends and see Remember Me on March 13, 2010 as a National Fan Support Event. Yes, I'm sure as a Rob fan you'll be seeing it on Friday. You won't be able to help yourselves! But that doesn't mean you can't take another friend, a brother, a parent, your husband, your sister, etc. and drag them out to the theater on Saturday to help pull this fan event off. I'm sure another two hours of Rob won't be harmful to your health.

So, how can YOU help?

Tell your friends, contacts, anyone you know who would be a candidate to see Remember Me opening weekend. Let us know if you have any ideas for promotion. Be a proactive fan and be heard!!

Support Rob --

Remember Me Saturday, 3/13/10

A National Fan Support Event -- Bring your friends and family to support Robert by seeing Remember Me on Saturday, March 13, 2010. Let's get Remember Me to open at #1!!


Mandy's Mind - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This is a great idea, in theory, but I honestyl do not think a campaign is needed. Twilight fans and Rob fans will be going to see this opening weekend for sure.

Will it be #1?

Maybe

But Probably not.

I am not a movie expert, but here are my thoughts on what will happen in March.

March 5 - Alice in Wonderland comes out and is #1... and stays at #1 for several weeks.

March 12 - Remember Me easily beats other opening movies like Green Zone and She's Out of my League, but stays at #2 next to Alice in Wonderland. [Really - I know it's Rob but Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Classic Story, I predict #1 for the whole month at least!]

March 19 - Twifans all rush to see The Runaways and maybe even a "Robsten" double-header with Remember Me and The Runaways. Actually, that's not a bad idea - sometimes I impress even myself ;) ha ha!

End of March - Clash of the Titans makes the biggest threat to push Alice in Wonderland out of first and maybe it does, but more likely it replaces Remember Me and/or The Runaways for second.

So a Remember Me Campaign is great, but I still think my predictions are how it will go down... though I may *gasp* underestimate the power of Pattinson Power.

Thoughts?

**Again, no expert, just making my own opinions into predictions... we shall see in March eh?

My 2010 Predictions

I don't usually make predictions but I have had a ton of people ask me so let's give it a go...

  • #1 - Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will have a leaked sex tape that will make Robsten Lovers around the world quiver with happiness and joy... a full "twi-o" --- it will beat New Moon and Twilight combined for most downloaded video ;)

  • #2 - Twilight Saga Eclipse will outsell New Moon.

  • #3 - Breaking Dawn will be announced - filming will start this Fall in Vancouver. Twifans will flock to the 'couve once more, I will be bombarded with emails once more ranging from admiration, requests for information, and hate.

  • #4 - Jon Gosseline will be date raped by the Octo-mom leading to her pregnancy of another 6 children.

  • #5 - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will have a very public and messy break-up. It will be revealed Tom Cruise was infected by scientology aliens and is half robot. Katie will go back to doing what she want.

  • #6 - Brangelina will adopt 4 more children, ok maybe 3 and she'll pop out the 4th.

  • #7 - Taylor Lautner turns 18 and immediately poses for Playgirl... ha jk... Channing Tatum? Please?

  • #8 - Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens will become engaged... then single.

  • #9 - With one Jonas married, I predict another Jonas will lose his virginity ring... out of wed-lock *gasp* the sex tape will be all the talk, til Robsten's sex tape comes out of course.

  • #10 - Summit tries to sue a broadway production of Snow White for using a poisoned red apple being held in a white woman's hand - total copyright infringement... woah-wait .... LoL

  • #13 - There will be an earthquake on the west coast.

  • #14 - Sam Bradley's new album is a chart topper in North America.

  • #15 - Lady GaGa has a wild and crazy show gone wrong. I don't like to predict bad things, but I'm thinking her wildness goes too far... for even her.

  • #16 - The reason for Bryce Howard Dallas' casting in Eclipse to replace Rachelle LeFevre is finally revealed... and it is NOT just "schedule conflicts" (duh!)

  • #17 - Bobby Long and Marcus Foster return to Vancouver to perform in the Fall .... while BD is filming... Rob has one too many heineken's and joins them on stage to sing a few tunes... fans go nuts, the youtube hits are almost as high as the robsten sex tape.

  • #18 - A Summit big-wig casts another family member for another minor, pointless role in a Summit movie.

  • #19 - 100 Monkey's "Wide Awake" becomes a top played song on radio stations across the world.

  • #20 - Nikki Reed gets married... Sage writes a song for the big day.

  • #21 - It is discovered that vampires really do exsist and werewolves also.

  • #22 - Dog the Bounty Hunter has another child with Beth, meaning Baby Lisa's daughter has an auntie younger than her.

  • #23 - Dawson's Creek has a reunion, it is bigger than Saved by the Bell reunion and Pacey is hotter than ever after divorcing Joey after catching her cheating on him with Dawson for a Speilberg porno.... or something... [This is after, of course, Katie is freed from Tom and can make her own decisions in what to act in again]

  • #24 - World Peace

  • #25 - Malicious Mandy / Martini Mandy will launch a new blog - ok this isn't a prediction... just you wait - it'll be awesome!

    Happy New Year Y'all!

    Survivor Finale Season 19

    I was randomly assigned to Russell a week before Survivor began. At work we have a Survivor Pool and if Russell won I would be $100 richer...

    He was THE BEST player this season EVER !!!!

    Natalie should NOT have won.... I am VERY disappointed but, it IS just a game.

    I am thrilled Russell won fan favourite, to me that is more meaningful than the results of a bunch of bitter losers on the jury.

    I am even more thrilled about the preview for Season 20.

    February 11, 2010, Survivor Season 20 will premier. It will be HEROES vs. VILLAINS and feature returning castaways separated onto 2 teams.

    Here are 10 past castaways I predict (or hope) will be on Season 20:

    Heroes
  • J.T (Tocantins) Though he won his season, he was an all-around GREAT guy.
  • Rupert (Pearl Islands) I liked him and his tye-dye alot. He was also in All-Stars, so I don't know if they'r bring him back AGAIN... but I hope so.
  • Sugar (Gabon)
  • Burton (Pearl)
  • Brett (Samoa)


    Villains
  • Russell (Samoa)
  • Coach (Tocantins)
  • Jonny Fairplay (Pearl Islands)
  • Rob (Marquesas) Boston Rob
  • Tyson (Tocantins)

    Time will tell... I can't wait.

Taylor maybe has a rendez-vous with Taylor Swift, Robsten has a jacuzzi before bed and in the morning they start with the big day.... fancy outfits and red carpets... hopefully some kisses to the fans waiting in line for days.

    Oh to be in L.A. right now.... craziness..... I am way excited for this week.... seriously!

    America's Next Top Model

    So I have watched many cycles of this show... then I stopped for a few years now I am back into it - - -

    I am not sure why - it's always drama, girls who are "not traditionally pretty" and NOW - for Cycle 13 it is a special season of short girls...

    For real? Short Girls? Becuase you aren't 6 foot and you are pretty.... *sigh*

    I keep waiting for Tyra to do a PLUS SIZE MODEL Cycle... I mean... short girls??? but not big girls??? C'mon....

    There has been a "big girl" on a few cycles... but they never win... and *RARELY* make it far....

    let's face it - even the "Plus Size Models" are friggin' not " big " compared to the real world.... mostly just compared to the " modelling world " which really is not like any other world I have heard of ha ha.

    Anyways, I personally think lil Southern Laura is hilarious

    And Nicole reminds me of an old roomie who was constantly stoned ha ha ha

    Erin I liked at the start but she is way to immature and annoying


    I think one of those 3 will win.... we will see

    Tuesday Main Set

    It has been a busy week filming Lot's of double sets in a day and tons of fans getting to see lot's of live filming - always a plus for fans.

    I was told about Tuesday's set Monday night from a fan who noticed the set up.

    I then confirmed the location Tuesday and recognized a-unit P.A's.

    I had been told b-unit was at the camp/beach set and so I didn't bother to go up there again but instead stayed at this set for a bit to take photos before enjoying the rest of my sunny, warm day off with my family.

    Apparently this was to be Emily's house, however, rumours were that Sam's house was this house



    I have gone to this "Sam's House" and took some photos I will post at some point... but now we have this "Emily's House" rumour, and "Leah's transformation" scene and "Jacob" and "Bella" and the "wolfpack" on set...

    If I didn't know who was there I would say it looks like it could have been used as the Cullen House, however, they already have a great Cullen House from New Moon so I don't see a need to change it... it just feels to big and new to be on the reserve!!! Though if it was strictly interiors and done right (movie magic) it could be anything!




    The circus was down the street and the only eqipment up by the house I could see was in around the side and not easily photographed.

    Lainey reports:
    ... the main crew filmed Stewart with Taylor Lautner’s “Jacob” and his boys and Leah’s transformation is revealed.


    I don't know exactly what this means.... Here are some parts it could be:

    Chapter 19
    To distract her, Edward talks about the discoveries he’s made while listening to the pack mind last night. For one thing, one of the wolves isn’t a Quileute boy at all — it’s Leah Clearwater. Bella reflects how painful it must be for her and Sam to be in such intimate mental contact. Edward unsympathetically replies that Leah is making life as difficult as she can for the rest of them.


    Maybe instead they all talk about it.... Bella, Jacob, Leah, Wolf-Pack... or something? I am so thrown off by this set/scene.

    Chapter 8
    Bella and Jacob head to the beach to hang out. Bella jokingly asks about the latest pack scandal only to find out there is one. Quil imprinted bringing the total of wolves who have done so up to three. Jacob is worried that all the legends may be true. Bella sees no problem with Quill imprinting until Jacob tells her that Quil imprinted on Emily’s cousin, Claire, who happens to be two years old. Bella is shocked and Jacob explains that Quil will take care of her and look after her until she is old enough to understand.

    Maybe in the movie they are all chatting and hanging out?

    Chapter 11

    Bella accompanies Jacob to a council meeting of the elders of the tribe, where she sees the rest of the pack, who welcome her as a friend. She is surprised to find Sue Clearwater and her two children, Seth and Leah, at the bonfire as well, and surmises that they must now also be in on the secret. After a lighthearted meal, Bella realizes it’s getting late and she needs to go home, but Jacob quickly lets her know the night is for more than fun.

    Maybe before the bonfire and legend telling they all have dinner at the house?

    What are your thoughts? This one is sure a difficult one eh?
