Chloe Moretz to join the cast of Maggie

Chloe Moretz has joined the cast of yet another upcoming horror flick titled Maggie. The basic plot of the film is as follows:

"Set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse, the story concerns a father's unconditional love for his 16-year old daughter Maggie as she becomes infected by a zombie."

 Apparently this film will feature zombies who take months to fully change as opposed to our current zombies in shows like The Walking Dead who morph into the undead within minutes or hours. Production on Maggie is aiming to begin this September.


Personally... I am down for this. I like seeing Chloe take on more horror roles. I think it's a good habitat for her. She was fantastic in Let Me In and has also been cast as the new Carrie in the upcoming reboot.

The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood to be renamed

Yes, the famous Kodak Theatre in Hollywood finally has a new name and a new owner. The theater which hosts events such as The Academy Awards will now be known as the Dolby Theatre. Along with this name change the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have signed a 20-year contract with the realtors to stay in the theater putting. Looks like we are just trading picture for sound.

I saw the Kodak Theatre in 2005 when I was in Hollywood and it looks pretty different than it does when it's all dolled up for big events, but it is nice to see something staying put. New name or not.

Project X sequel being developed

Tickle me not surprised. I loved Project X, but after seeing the train wreck we all called The Hangover 2 I am a little afraid.

Chronicle sequel greenlit by Fox

Fox has hired Max Landis to write a sequel to Chronicle which was released this past February. Landis also wrote the first film.

I saw Chronicle (http://fort-kick-ass.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-chronicle.html) and while I had mixed feelings about it I was expecting a sequel to surface at some point. The way it ended was a dead giveaway, imo. I won't say I am necessarily jumping with excitement for a Chronicle 2, but I'll probably see it.
