Selena Gomez to Produce and Star in THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 23rd, 2012 at 9:36 pm

I am rooting for Selena Gomez to make that difficult transition from teen star to respected actress.  I am fond of Wizards of Waverly Place, and see a talent there that is not shared by all her peers.  It’s good to know, then, that Gomez is taking her career into her own hands.  Deadline reports her production company July Moon optioned the Jandy Nelson novel The Sky Is Everywhere as a starring vehicle for the young actress.  Gomez will play Lennie, a shy girl who reevaluates her life when her older sister dies: “Lennie soon finds herself torn between two boys: Bailey’s boyfriend, Toby, and Joe, the charming and musically gifted new boy in town.”  Okay, so maybe this particular movie is not for me.  But hopefully this sets her up for success so that, soon, she can move on from playing high schoolers and start paying dividends on my investment.

James Franco Joins Indie Flick SPRING BREAKERS; Emma Roberts May Co-Star [UPDATED]

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 1st, 2011 at 2:22 pm

James Franco has signed on to Harmony Korine‘s indie film Spring Breakers.  The plot centers on four college girls who rob a fast food joint so they afford to go on spring break in Florida.  To shock of no one, the idiotic plan fails and the girls get arrested.  They’re bailed out by Franco’s character, “Alien, a rapping drug and arms dealer who bails them out and entices them to kill his arch-rival, a murderer who is appropriately named Arch.” Variety adds that Emma Roberts is in talks to play one of the co-eds, “Candy, a southern brunette who feeds off danger.” If the plot doesn’t devolve into an over-stylized quirk pile, Spring Breakers sounds like it could be a fun little flick.  Franco will shoot his part over the course of two weeks during spring break in Florida.

Franco recently dropped out of The Iceman, and is currently shooting on Sam Raimi‘s blockbuster Wizard of Oz prequel/re-imagining, Oz, The Great and Powerful.  He’ll next be seen in the indies Maladies, The Stare, and Cherry.  He’s also expected to star in Seth Rogen‘s directorial debut, The Apocalypse (formerly Seth and Jay vs. The Apocalypse). [Update: Variety has updated their story to add that Disney Channel alums Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez are also in talks to join the cast.]

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.

First Trailer for THE MUPPETS plus Poster for Fake Movie GREEN WITH ENVY

by Collider Staff    Posted: May 23rd, 2011 at 11:37 am

The first trailer for The Muppets has gone online.  It takes a little while to get to the actual Muppets, but stick through the trailer for the first 50 seconds and you’ll get there.  This is really more of an announcement trailer, and I’m not sure what will set this Muppets movie apart, but creating a trailer that basically goes “Surprise!  Muppets!” isn’t a bad way to start.  I’m slightly confused by the set-up of a fake Jason Segel/Amy Adams romance flick called Green with Envy, but I’ll go with it for now.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer for The Muppets and the poster for Green with Envy.  The Muppets also stars Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones, and a slew of celebrity cameos.  The film opens November 23rd.

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.

Selena Gomez Knows WHAT BOYS WANT

by Jackson Bishop    Posted: October 19th, 2009 at 9:10 pm

Okay, so, everybody who loved the Mel Gibson vehicle, “What Women Want” raise your hand. Well too bad, you’re getting a sequel/spinoff thing anyway. That’s right, “What Boys Want” is coming our way, a comedy starring 17-year-old Disney starlet, Selena Gomez as a teenage girl who develops the ability to read the minds of men. Sounds, hilarious, I know. Hit the jump for more.
