The Conjuring too scary for PG-13?

Apparently the MPAA thought so.

Director James Wan revealed at WonderCon during a panel for his upcoming film The Conjuring that he shot the film to be PG-13 like Insidious was. However, when the film was screened for the MPAA they deemed it "just too scary for PG-13" and slapped the film with an R-rating. Bear in mind this movie received this reaction without any gore and the MPAA didn't cite any scenes that could be removed to lower the rating down to PG-13.
Audiences at WonderCon were also screened footage from the film and the reactions have all been positive so far. There were also real victims and paranormal investigators from the original event present for the screenings and the panel.

I'm pretty excited for The Conjuring and seeing that this received such a rating for simply being too scary... I say bring it on.

The Conjuring stars Lili Taylor, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Mackenzie Foy. It is set for release on July 19, 2013.

First teaser for True Blood Season 6

Meh.

True Blood Season 6 gets a premiere date

The sixth season of True Blood has an official release date! The vampires, fairies, werewolves, shape shifters, and whoever the fuck else will be back on HBO on Sunday, June 16th. This will mark the first season of the show without Alan Ball and it is also the first season to only have 10 episodes. The previous 5 seasons have all had 12 episodes.


I personally am growing tired of True Blood. The plot lines and characters are ridiculous at this point and I honestly don't even care anymore. The show has pretty much been shit since Season 3, but I have kept watching in hopes that something good will happen again. So far my wish hasn't come true. If Season 6 is just as bad I think I might quit watching. I've grown weary.

You're Next trailer premieres

Is it just me or does this look like The Strangers only with a whole family instead of a couple?

Judy Greer joins Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Judy Greer (Archer, Arrested Development) has joined the cast of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The catch? She has landed the role of the lead female ape named Cornelia. Yes, that means she will be doing some motion capture work with Andy Serkis.

Other cast members include Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Jason Clarke. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is set for release on May 23, 2014.

First poster for Zombieland TV show

I think I will pass on this one, tbh.

Ryan Reynolds might return for Justice League

Yeah...

"I don't know. If you're gonna do comic book movies [as big as Justice League], you really have to get them right. I believe that Joss Whedon is the guy that just nails it and Christopher Nolan obviously nails it. So if they were gonna do it like that, it would be an interesting thing to do.
It's just that... working on Green Lantern, I saw how difficult it is make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly – that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with.
So at this point I have very little interest in joining that kind of world. But, you know, a great script and a good director can always turn that around."

New clip from Evil Dead

[Random] Neil Gaiman returning to Marvel

Neil Gaiman (The Graveyard Book, American Gods) is returning to Marvel Comics to co-write 5 issues of Guardians of the Galaxy. Gaiman and Todd McFarlane's character Angela is set to join the Guardians for these five issues. Gaiman is co-writing these issues with Brian Bendis, a quite famous writer/artist for Marvel Comics, Image Comics, and Calber Comics.

There is no word on whether Gaiman will continue after the five issues. Angela originally appeared in Spawn #9 and could very well continue in the Marvel Universe.

Robert Redford in talks for Captain America sequel

Robert Redford is in talks to join Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The rumored role is a senior leadership member of S.H.I.E.L.D. Kevin Feige has described The Winter Soldier as more of a political thriller, so Redford is actually a pretty good grab if he secures a role. This also opens up the possibility of him showing up in future Marvel films for the end of Phase 2 and for Phase 3.

Others confirmed for Captain America: The Winter Soldier are Chris Evans, Emily VanCamp (Revenge), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), and Frank Grillo (End of Watch, Warrior). The film is slated to begin filming very soon and is scheduled for release on April 4, 2014.

Jude Law and Lynne Ramsay drop Jane Got a Gun

This movie has taken quite a hit in the past couple weeks. News broke today that with the exit of director Lynne Ramsay for the upcoming film Jane Got a Gun, Jude Law has also taken his leave along with her. Ramsay dropped the film by not showing up for the first day of filming.

Ramsay has since been replaced by Gavin O'Connor (Warrior, The Americans), but there is no replacement for Law just yet. We will see how this one works out. It's kind of a hot mess right now.

Vacation has its new Griswolds

Meet the "new" Griswolds. Playing the parents in the upcoming Vacation reboot will be Ed Helms (The Hangover) and Christina Applegate (Married with Children).

The new Vacation will feature Rusty taking his family on a vacation to Wally World. Applegate is playing Rusty's wife who is described as strong-willed and tired of her husband.
I have no doubt Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase will make cameos, but it isn't confirmed.

It will probably be slow on here for a bit

Truth is... I bought a new puppy and they require constant attention. I'm currently on about 4.5 to 5 hours sleep. Plus side is he's super cute.

So yeah... I will post when and what I can and be back full force as soon as I can.

American Horror Story gets its new name

Season 3 of FX's drama American Horror Story has its official name which also hints at the theme. Season 3 will now be known as American Horror Story: Coven. We know this season will be female centered which leads even more to hint that this season will be about witches. However, there is no word on exactly what time frame this will take place in.

So far we have casting confirmations for Kathy Bates along with show veterans Jessica Lange, Frances Conroy, Taissa Farmiga, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters.
