If there was ever a post that didn’t need an introduction, it’s this one.
After 24 hours of online time, this teaser trailer had been viewed 5.8 million times. Since then, counting everywhere it’s been posted, the number has likely tripled. We’ve had it up since June 1st, but to those of you who only look [...]

June 4, 2009 – 5:26 am
Adventureland Red-Band Trailer
February 26, 2009 – 12:09 pm
Just released on the web today is the actually charming red-band trailer for Adventureland, the new film from Superbad director Greg Mottola which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Twilight’s Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, and Kristen Wiig.
And Matt Bush. You know him — the kid from those AT&T commercials with the crazy mom forcing him to [...]
Chris Weitz Doesn’t Even Know Who the Author of the Twilight Series Is
December 15, 2008 – 3:48 pm
Chris Weitz has officially accepted the offer to direct the Twilight sequel New Moon, replacing the axed Catherine Hardwicke.
The official word is that Summit Entertainment hired him because they liked the look of The Golden Compass. That’s valid enough — Compass had professional-looking special effects, and Twilight did not — but Compass was, uh, a [...]
Summit Entertainment is Trying Very Hard to Screw Up the Twilight Franchise As Much As Possible
December 11, 2008 – 5:45 pm
While Twilight continues to rake in money — early next week it will cross the $150 million mark — Summit Entertainment, the fledgling studio behind it, is doing its best to make its upcoming sequel, New Moon, a complete and total mess.
First came word that Catherine Hardwicke, the director of Twilight, got fired. Well, okay, [...]
Catherine Hardwicke Will Not Direct New Moon
December 8, 2008 – 6:41 pm
Catherine Hardwicke, the director who shepherded Twilight to its $150 million plus gross, will not direct the Twilight sequel New Moon or any other future films in the franchise.
Smartly, Summit Entertainment and Hardwicke released a joint press release rather than allow rumors to swell:
Summit Entertainment and director Catherine Hardwicke jointly announced today that the filmmaker [...]
Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett?
December 4, 2008 – 1:47 pm
I’ve been catching up on some site stuff for the past couple of days (see the above post) and have neglected the news, but it turns out literally nothing happened on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m pretty sure everyone went to sleep Monday night and didn’t wake up until today.
The biggest story I could find? Kristen [...]
No Brainer of the Week: New Moon is Coming
November 24, 2008 – 2:11 pm
This is going to be quick, because I’m really sick of talking about Twilight (see: the last three posts, etc).
Summit Entertainment, the production company that hit pay dirt with the vampire flick, announced via a press release that a sequel would move into production based on the follow-up book to Twilight, New Moon.
This is probably [...]
Box Office November 21-23: Twilight Unsurprisingly Opens Huge
November 24, 2008 – 1:47 pm
There was some doubt, going into the weekend, about how big exactly Twilight would open. Its fans were crazy, fanatical, and very, very loud — which made it very hard to tell exactly how many of them there were.
Certainly enough, as the numbers now tell us.
The vampire romance flick opened to a staggering $70.6 million [...]
Our Reviews are Split on Twilight
November 21, 2008 – 6:35 pm
Well, this is hilarious.
I went into my screening of Twilight as a guy who’d never read the books and was half-expecting the movie to be a disaster. My fellow writer here at TheCinemaSource, Andrea Tuccillo, went in as a big fan of the books expecting to love it.
So who gave it the positive review and [...]
Box Office November 14-16: Quantum Needs No Solace
November 17, 2008 – 5:15 pm
Quantum of Solace debuted to a spectacular $70.4 million, making it the highest opening weekend ever for a Bond flick by a wide margin: the previous peak was Die Another Day’s $47.1 million in November 2002. All other studios cleared the way for Bond’s newest adventure, which was a guaranteed smash after it became the [...]
