M. Night Shyamalan Used UNBREAKABLE 2 Plot/Villain for THE NIGHT CHRONICLES

Posted: September 2nd, 2010 at 4:16 pm

M. Night Shyamalan has finally revealed the fate of his sequel to Unbreakable. While promoting Devil (the first entry in The Night Chronicles) Shyamalan tells how Unbreakable is one of the favourite films he has done, and whilst he really wanted to make the sequel, he was hindered by other projects. The good news is it’s coming — but not as you’d expect. Shyamalan has taken the script and butchered it, taking the villain from the story and using him in the Night Chronicles series. The word is that the third film in the NC series will be the one to feature the villain and now Shyamalan is hunting for fresh ideas for Unbreakable 2.  Hit the jump for video of Shyamalan’s comments.

Katie Holmes and Al Pacino to Star alongside Adam Sandler in JACK AND JILL

Posted: August 25th, 2010 at 7:43 am

Katie Holmes is in talks to star opposite Adam Sandler and Al Pacino in Jack and Jill, directed by Dennis Dugan (Grown Ups). According to THR, Jack, a family man, deals with his twin sister, Jill, when she visits for Thanksgiving then won’t leave. Sandler will play both siblings. Holmes would play Sandler’s wife; Pacino is set to play himself. This marks Holmes’ first major studio film since 2005′s Batman Begins and her first film role since appearing in the 2008 low-budget Mad Money.

Holmes has several movies already wrapped including romantic drama “The Romantics”, the crime thriller The Son of No One and the Guillermo del Toro-produced chiller Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. Holmes’ screen return is a good thing and it will be entertaining to see how her talents stack up against the likes of Sandler and Pacino. I think she might be capable of some good comedy, despite her weak performance in Mad Money. Hit the jump for more on Jack and Jill.

New Promises of Universal 3D Glasses for Your TV

Posted: August 19th, 2010 at 7:50 pm

You can’t use your 3D glasses for TV at your friends place while watching football — unless he has the same brand TV that you do.  Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?  Well, that’s the current state of affairs with 3D home theatre technology. “It’s like a language and everyone uses their own,” says David Chechelashvili, who heads global retail and distribution at XpanD. “3D TVs are an event-oriented social experience.  You can’t have that if everyone has different glasses that won’t work together.”  To solve these problems, companies such as XpanD and Monster have created their version of the Babel fish: a pair of universal 3-D glasses that promises to work with any 3D TV set.  Hit the jump to find out more.
