10 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
As the shooting of Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch captain in Florida continues to engulf the nation, Fox has removed the first teaser poster and trailer for its summer space-alien comedy Neighborhood Watch from Florida theaters. The studio tells The Hollywood Reporter it has done so out of deference to the growing controversy. There are no plans to change the film's July 27 release date, however.

MGM Formally Offers Lead Remake Of Stephen King’s ‘Carrie’ To Chloe Moretz
10 hours ago | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Breaking: After meeting and reading a group of young actresses for Carrie, MGM, Screen Gems and director Kim Peirce have made their decision and made the formal offer today to Chloe Moretz. If negotiations work out, she’ll play the title role in the remake of the Brian DePalma original that was based on the 1974 Stephen King bestseller. She’s expected to play the shy high school student Carrie White, who is raised by a nightmarish religious fanatic mother, and comes to grip with devastating telepathic powers just as she reaches puberty. She eventually uses those gifts for lethal means when fellow classmates use the prom as an excuse to humiliate her before the entire school in a parable about bullying. Sissy Spacek played the character in the first movie, with Piper Laurie playing her mother, and Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, John Travolta, Betty Buckley and William Katt rounding out the cast. »

'Terra Nova' Will Not Get a Second Chance as a Netflix Series
12 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Upon canceling "Terra Nova" last month, Fox made it clear that it was shopping the series around to other networks who might be interested in taking a chance on the pricey dinosaur drama. The show did have a devoted fanbase, if not a big enough one for Fox to consider it worth bringing back for a second season. Naturally, Netflix was soon in talks with 20th Century Fox Television about taking on the show -- the online service has been aggressively setting up original series with David Fincher, Jenji Kohan and Eli Roth, but it's also been looking at popular but canceled properties from other networks. Netflix gave hope to legions of faith-keeping fans holding out for the return of beloved but long-dormant properties by announcing in October that it was bringing back "Arrested Development" for a new 10-episode season. (On his blog, writer Dean Lorey confirmed that the original cast is back. »

Paramount Wants Kenneth Branagh to Direct Jack Ryan
7 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Vulture hears that Paramount is now in negotiations with Kenneth Branagh to take over directing duties for Jack Ryan, the studio's on-again/off-again effort to revive the Tom Clancy spy franchise with Chris Pine. The news comes just over a week after Lost executive producer and director Jack Bender (who had signed on a year and a half ago) stepped down from the project because of scheduling issues with a SyFy project.We hear that Bender had tired of the endless development born of creative loggerheads over the direction of the film. Pine wanted to make a character-driven espionage movie. The producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, wanted to make Jack Ryan into an action movie. Paramount executives wanted to make it a thriller. “And [screenwriter] David Koepp was supposed to sort that all out,” laughs one of our own spies, “Good luck!” Koepp had been called in after nobody could agree on »

14 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
The Hunger Games' young characters battle it out to the death in a brutal televised bloodsport, but several of the film's stars are now at the center of vicious and real-life attacks of their own. Lenny Kravitz and Amandla Stenberg have come under fire by fans of the book who question why filmmakers cast black actors to play two pivotal roles in the movie. And based on these fans' shocking tweets, their verbal knives are just as slicing and lethal as the ones wielded by the movie's tributes. A Hunger Games fan has put together a Tumblr page that collects ignorant tweets from so-called fans of Suzanne Collins' best-selling Y.A. series. But the page ended up exposing jaw-dropping »

just now | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Alert Ryan Seacrest: The Dictator is loose in New York City! Or at least he will be once the plot of Sacha Baron Cohen's latest comedy unfolds! A storyline has finally been revealed in the just-released new trailer for the comedy, which hits theaters May 11, one that goes beyond the previously seen Gadhafi-was-a-buffoon satire and heads straight into Borat-style, lost-in-America territory. Here's what we've learned: 1. You Can Take the Man Out of the Beard...: Cohen's megalomaniacal, too-dumb-to-be-scary (which is the point, of course) Middle Eastern despot Admiral General Aladeen is invited to America to address the United Nations.

Is There a Buyer That Can Steer Variety Into the Fast Lane?
12 minutes ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Variety has an iconic brand and a 100-year-plus history, but analysts and experts see a weak market for the struggling Hollywood trade. Owner Reed Elsevier placed its final U.S. magazine on the block last Friday, and Variety’s low profit margins, coupled with a lack of demand for business-to-business publications, has many scratching their heads. Just who will buy this company? “Nobody jumps out as a perfect fit here,” Ken Sonenclar, a managing director at media investment bank DeSilva & Phillips, told TheWrap.

24 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Will Kim Kardashian ever be able to walk another red carpet without having to worry about having a bag of flour dumped on her head? Probably not. So it's no surprise that all eyes were on the E! reality star tonight as she hit the swank opening of Valentino's new flagship on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills… Kardashian seemed quite comfortable when she hit the carpet with designer Rachel Roy. If Kimmy was nervous about a flour-bomb repeat, she didn't show it. She posed for plenty of pics, but declined any interviews. Inside, she hung out with friends and, of course, posed for more pics. Kardashian's longtime pal Ciara gave her props for handling flourgate so »
So True? So False? Did The Bachelor's Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson Move In Together?!
26 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Enough of the drama (for now). The Bachelor is over, Ben Flajnik picked Courtney Robertson and regardless of their rollercoaster relationship since the show aired, the duo are now a happy and engaged couple...who are also moving in together? It wouldn't be out of the ordinary, especially since the lovebirds are planning to walk down the aisle together, but when Us Weekly (who Flajnik calls "shady") reported that Ben and Court were shacking up, we thought it was kinda fast. Too fast, maybe? Don't these reality-show couples usually have some time to get back into, well, reality before making any sudden decisions? Hang on to your roses, neighbors, because this rumor is...

Watch: Explosive 30-second teaser for 'Total Recall'
29 minutes ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
In the latest example of a somewhat annoying trend that regularly sees studios releasing teasers of freakin' trailers for highly-anticipated movies, Sony has just put out a 30-second preview of the forthcoming trailer for their forthcoming "Total Recall" remake. I know, lame. But hey, at least it looks cool. Colin Farrell steps into the role originated by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1990 Paul Verhoeven version, starring as a factory worker who begins to suspect he was formerly a spy whose memories were "erased and replaced" as part of a larger war between "Euroamerica" and "New Shanghai" for world domination.

Dancing With the Stars Elimination: Are You Surprised by Who Went Home?
56 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Someone always has to go first. Tonight marked the first elimination of the season on Dancing With the Stars —and it didn't go exactly as we had planned. Oh wait, yes it did. As Bruno Tonioli told the nice-and-safe Jack Wagner last night, "There's no lack of performance value, but the jive is a bitch." And Martina Navratilova double-faulted right out of the ballroom. The tennis ace just didn't take to the jive, and she landed at the bottom of the pack for the second week in a row. "It was an amazing experience," Martina said. "Again, I wish it had lasted longer. I gave it everything I had, but I blew it yesterday, and it cost me." And we're »
