Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg unite!!!

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg worked together 4 years ago in the hilarious "The Other Guys" and they are now reuniting for Paramount Pictures "Daddy's Home" which is expected to go into production at the end of the year.

"Daddy's Home follows a mild-mannered radio executive (Ferrell) who strives to become the best stepdad to his wife's two children, but complications ensue when their freewheeling and freeloading real father (Wahlberg) arrives, forcing him to compete for the affection of the kids."

The film will be directed by Sean Anders who recently worked on "Horrible Bosses 2", the screenplay was written by Brian Burns and has undergone touches from Anders himself, John Morris, Etan Cohen, Chris Henchy and Adam McKay.

"Will and Mark are the absolute perfect on-screen duo to take on this hilarious project," Adam Goodman, President of Paramount Film Group said. "With Anders at the helm, and our partners Red Granite on-board, we are thrilled this movie is getting underway."

Paranormal Activity 5 gets a name and release date

Paramount Pictures and Blumhouse Productions have recently announced that the upcoming instalment in their Paranormal Activity franchise has a new name and a release date. The film from here on will now be called "Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension", can anybody say 80s throwback?

The release date has date has been pushed back from October 2013 to its new date of March 13th 2015. The film is set to be directed by Gregory Plotkin and written by Jason Pagan and Andrew Stark. The next instalment is said to be focusing on a new family with two more young daughters, these guys need to shut up shop and start new.

Paramount sets release date for the next "Friday The 13th"

It goes without saying these days that we can always expect a new instalment in one of the big Horror franchises i.e "Nightmare On Elm Street", "Halloween", "Hellraiser" and of course "Friday The 13th". Looks like the latter has has indeed been green lit, Paramount has confirmed this by licking down the release date of March 13, 2015!

Yes, you guessed it March 13th of 2015 is indeed a Friday, however as it stands we have no official title or information on the film. It is still currently unknown whether or not this film will be a sequel to the 2009 release or another stand alone reboot. I'm personally hoping for a reboot, the 2009 release was fun but not the best film.

"There are no further details other than that. We know Platinum Dunes will be producing the film, but there is no director and there are rumblings of the producers looking for a "found footage" approach." That worries me a lot, I do not think for a second that Jason Voorhees would work in a found footage style scenario, however I am open to being proven wrong.

Aksel Hennie joins "Hercules"

Aksel Hennie has is apparently set to join Brett Ratner's "Hercules" along side Dwayne Johnson, an he will play Tydeus. I for one know hardly anything about Hercules or Greek mythology so I haven't a clue who Tydeus actually is. The film is set to be co-produced by MGM and Paramount Pictures, and will be based on Radical Publishing "Hercules", a Comic Book of which there were two series. 



"Fourteen-hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the Earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules, powerful son of the god king Zeus, received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labors and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods, finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and the presence of death. These men and woman never question where, why, or whom they go to fight; only how much they will be paid. Knowing this, the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. Hercules begins to question King Cotys' motives when he takes his army out to battle and sees them practice on innocent men, women, and children of their neighbors. Deep in his soul something stirs, but is it enough to stop a mad king and his army of the damned from marching across Greece - or even Olympus itself?!"

"Zombieland" TV Series?

It's looking more and more likely that a "Zombieland" sequel is not going to happen, which I personally believe is heartbreaking I loved the original. But, the Zombieland TV Series that has been rumoured since I'd say 2011 appears to be on the up and up. Back in October 2011, it was announced that Fox and Paramount Pictures were discussing bringing onto the TV scene.

Back then Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick the original screenwriters for the movie were working on scripts for to be developed as 30 minute episodes. For those that were unaware, like myself "Zombieland" was originally developed as a TV Pilot which was written by Reese and Wernick so these guys have had the basic layout for a TV Series set up for a long time.

It's being reported that the project is moving onto the casting stages an the production company has sent out casting call sheets for the main characters. It's looking likely that the characters are going to differ a bit from the film, below we have some apparent information on what the characters are going to be like.


“Tallahassee is still kind of a snarky weirdo, but he seems to have a much less spiky relationship with Columbus. He and Columbus have a pretty amusing thing where they riff on the fact that Steven Seagal movies always have three-word titles like “Marked for Justice” or “May Cause Diarrhea.” But Tallahassee also dispenses homespun wisdom about how to feel happy with your life. He also tells a weird story about being in a trailer park with a perpetually nude Matthew McConaughey. He also has a somewhat heartwarming scene where he tells Columbus that he’s been wandering aimlessly for a long time, but maybe he’s been put here for a reason — to help Columbus and the others.

Columbus is much the same, except that he tracks down his grandma and grandpa (Bubbie and Peepaw) only to find them recently zombiefied. Also, Columbus is trying to deal with his newfound relationship with Wichita, after their first kiss. He has started calling her “Krista,” her real name — but there are some problems, especially after she finds him reading a book about fatherhood. He tries to organize a romantic scavenger hunt for her in the IKEA they’re camping out in, but it goes kind of horribly.

Wichita is still trying to look after Little Rock, trying to teach her math with problems about someone stealing from a liquor store and jumping on a train going 42 miles per hour, with a cop chasing in a car going 88 miles per hour. We also learn a lot more about Wichita’s backstory, including how she ran away from her father after he had her stealing people’s Christmas presents — and later, she found out she had a sister who was also being a grifter with her dad.

Little Rock seems actually kind of excited about meeting Columbus’ grandparents, before they turn out to be zombies. And she shares some of her own backstory, about how her dad parked her at a school while he went off grifting on his own — and then yanked her out of school right before a dance that she was looking forward to.”

Bare in mind that none of these details have been officially announced, with that being said what television station wouldn't want this on their network. Look at the success of some of the other Horror related shows on television now "Supernatural" has reached its 9th Season, "Walking Dead" is one of the favourite shows in the US and the UK plus the likes of "True Blood" and "American Horror Story".

"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" release delayed

"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" was originally slated to be coming out this March, of late I have had a weird feeling something was going on with two months left until it's release an no official trailer released yet. Something seemed a bit off, Paramount have now officially announced that the film is being delayed until January 11th, 2013.
The reason behind the delay is believed that Paramount are trying to capitalise on Jeremy Renner's new found fame, and his appearances in "The Avengers" and "The Bourne Legacy" will not hurt this theory. Also Paramount has had major success with their most recent horror film "The Devil Inside", they are hoping the horror fans will all be coming out next January as well.
