7 Clips from MONTE CARLO

by Jason Barr    Posted: June 15th, 2011 at 1:30 pm

20th Century Fox has released seven clips for its upcoming tween “comedy” Monte Carlo. Co-written/directed by Thomas Bezucha (The Family Stone), the film stars that one girl from Disney (Selena Gomez) with the chick from that “horror” film The Roommate and CW’s Gossip Girl (Leighton Meester), and that guy who was on The Partridge Family‘s daughter (Katie Cassidy). While I can’t say that I’m in any way excited about checking out Monte Carlo, I will admit those three make for an attractive trio.  Andie MacDowell, Cory Monteith, and Brett Cullen also star in the pic which centers on one of the aforementioned trio members getting mistaken for a British heiress and the inevitable romantic hilarity that ensues.

Hit the jump to check out the clips. Monte Carlo hits theaters on July 1st.

Trailer for MONTE CARLO

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 8th, 2011 at 1:45 pm

The first trailer for the romantic comedy Monte Carlo has hit the web. The film stars Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy, Cory Monteith, Andie MacDowell and Brett Cullen. Co-written and directed by Tom Bezucha (The Family Stone), the flick tells the story of three young American girls who take a trip to Paris and, after the trip turning into a disaster, one of the girls gets mistaken for a British heiress and the three are wrapped up in a “hilarious” whirlwind of celebrity. The trailer looks like the film was tailor-made for the tween crowd, who I’m sure will love the flick. The similarities to a Disney Channel Original Movie are striking, and I had to double check to make sure the film was actually coming out in theaters and I wasn’t just watching a preview for a TV movie.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Monte Carlo hits theaters July 1^st.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: October 10th, 2010 at 3:42 am

As a child of the 1980’s, it’s been funny to watch the majority of the entertainment of that era either sequelized or remade. Whether it’s trying to emulate John Hughes’s tone in a teen driven romantic comedy, or the Indiana Jones sequel, or the birth of comic book movies, it all feels very connected to that decade. For horror fans, it seems every major and minor title is getting the remake treatment, with Wes Craven’s classic films of the period at the top of the list. Craven’s classics Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes were already done (and reasonably well), so it was only a matter of time before someone finally got to Freddy Kruger. Platinum Dunes, the remakers behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror and Friday the 13^th put Samuel Bayer behind the camera, and made the smart choice in giving the iconic hat, sweater and finger-knives glove to Jackie Earle Haley. Random teens (headed up by Rooney Mara) are terrorized by Kruger in their dreams for an unknown reason, which become evident in the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, and my review of the blu-ray follows after the jump.

Thomas Dekker, Rooney Mara & Kyle Gallner Interview A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 27th, 2010 at 8:57 am

As most of you know, opening this Friday is New Line/Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Over the past few months we’ve been covering the movie extensively with a set report, on set interviews with Jackie Earle Haley and producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, and a few weeks ago I spoke to Katie Cassidy / Thomas Dekker and Rooney Mara / Kyle Gallner at WonderCon.

Anyway, yesterday was the Los Angeles press day for the film and I got to speak with director Samuel Bayer, producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, and I also got to speak with Thomas Dekker, Rooney Mara & Kyle Gallner in a junket setting.  Since I spoke to them a few weeks ago, I used the time to try and ask new questions.  Also, I’ve now seen the film, so I could ask more specific things.  Hit the jump to check it out.  I’ve time indexed the interview so you can watch what interests you:

Director Samuel Bayer Interview A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 26th, 2010 at 7:26 pm

Samuel Bayer has a long history directing music videos and commercials.  While his resume is way too long to list in this intro, some of his famous videos are Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit, Blind Melon’s No Rain, almost all of Green Day’s American Idiot videos, and tons of others since 1991.  It’s really an impressive list.

Anyway, he finally made his first feature and it’s New Line’s/Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. The movie stars Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger, Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker and Kellan Lutz.

To help promote the film, I sat down with Bayer earlier today to talk about his experiences directing the movie, what will be on the Blu-ray/DVD, how does he feel about directors cuts, what will he do next, and a lot more.  As always, I’ve time indexed the interview so you can watch the parts you want.  Hit the jump to check it out:

Thomas Dekker and Katie Cassidy WonderCon Video Interview A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 7th, 2010 at 1:15 pm

A few days ago I attended WonderCon (it’s like Comic-Con with less people) in San Francisco and got to interview Thomas Dekker and Katie Cassidy for A Nightmare on Elm Street.  In the film, Thomas Dekker plays Jesse and Katie Cassidy plays Kris.

During the interview they talked about what it was like filming in Chicago and tell some funny stories, working for director Samuel Bayer, have they seen the movie yet, and a lot more.  Unlike some red carpet interviews that are serious, this one is very loose and extremely relaxed.  Watch it after the jump:

Collider Goes to the Set of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET – Read Our Report (With Bonus Video Blog)

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: February 22nd, 2010 at 9:01 am

If you’ve been reading Collider for awhile, you know last June I got to visit the set of director Samuel Bayer’s A Nightmare on Elm Street while the production was filming in Chicago.  I was invited – along with a few other online journalists – to watch a night of filming and also participate in roundtables interviews with Jackie Earle Haley, and producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.  With the film getting released on April 30, Warner Bros. has released us from our embargo, and I can now post my complete set report.

Since I always like to give options, I’m providing two ways to get the info.  The first is by reading about it…and the other is by watching a video blog I did with Peter from Slashfilm.  Since Peter went on a  different day, we have different takes on what it was like to go to set.  Hit the jump for more:

See Freddie Come to Life in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Preview

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: January 6th, 2010 at 10:41 am

Wanna get a preview of Jackie Earle Haley in action as the new Freddie Krueger in the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street remake without buying the new Final Destination DVD it’s featured on? Well, here’s your chance.

In the clip on the jump, Haley talks about how much fun he had diving into the iconic role, and you can tell he means it. It also features glimpses of the extensive makeup process he underwent to become Freddie, and the technology that went into updating his menacing claw. And, as you’ll see in one already creepy bathtub scene, a truly menacing weapon it should be.

Hit the jump to view the A Nightmare on Elm Street preview, and look for the movie itself April 30.
