Movie Buzz

On October 23, movie theaters will see the release of Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, starring John C. Reilly, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, and a bunch of other random people. Another vampire movie. We can’t have enough.

Robert Redford will direct The Conspirators, a film on the assassination of Lincoln, focusing on the story of Mary Surratt and her role in the goings on. James McAvoy is rumored to star. This film has my blessing.

Speaking of the cute blue-eyed Scot, McAvoy will also (definitely) star in the upcoming untitled comedy about cancer, based on the true story of screenwriter Will Reiser, who battles (successfully) cancer in his mid-twenties. Seth Rogen will produce and have a role, as well, since he seems to love acting in movies about cancer now.

The legend of the Fockers lives on. If you thought we were done with their marriage, you would be wrong. July 30, 2010 will see the premier of Little Fockers, starring our regular cast of Robert DeNiro, Blythe Danner, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Teri Polo. It will, presumably, focus on the kids.

This is weird…Little Murder is in the works. It’s the story of a “disgraced detective” in the wake of Hurrican Katrina who is then haunted by the ghost of a beautiful cellist as she helps him find her killer, saving his career. It stars Josh Lucas, Terrence Howard, and Lake Bell, and it sounds dumb.

Speaking of dumb and weird, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt will star in the sci-fi thriller, Adjustment Bureau, about a politician who is sabotaged by a mysterious ballerina. What? Just, what?
