Watch This: Second Featurette for Nimrod Antal's Predators

Our very first introduction to Robert Rodriguez & Nimrod Antal's Predators was through a sneak peek featurette, so it's only fitting we follow up the trailer with yet another new featurette. The video comes from Germany (via YouTube) but isn't dubbed, so it is watchable and in high def, too. It mainly contains some interview segments with Rodriguez and Antal as well as some new footage, including dialogue from Danny Trejo. I totally love the Japanese guy too, I can't wait to see him fight with his samurai sword, that will be badass to watch. The more I see from this, the more excited I get, I think it looks like it could be awesome.

This Week on Netflix Instant: Moon, Clash of the Titans, More

By Ethan Anderton

Sadly, this week brings another barren installment of new releases on Netflix Instant (only 3 of the titles are new this week), and it looks like it's all because there's a ridiculously huge addition of various "Barney" and "Thomas the Train Engine" programming being added to the library, so if you have kids who like purple dinosaurs and blue trains, then this week is your week. But if you happen to like Sam Rockwell, younger Jeff Goldblum and Jim Carrey, the Coen Brothers and/or a small selection of films that are getting contemporary updates, then you might enjoy this week's other select titles just the same. So what's in our queue this week?

Rough House Lands the Rights to a 'Barefoot Burglar' Movie

By Ethan Anderton

If you didn't already know, Danny McBride, Jody Hill and David Gordon Green now have their own recently founded production company called Rough House Pictures, and Variety reports they've added a new project to their roster as they will produce the film Taking Flight: The Hunt for a Young Outlaw based on the nefarious activities of Colton Harris-Moore (seen above), one of the most infamous Frank-Abagnale-worthy teen criminals, known as "The Barefoot Burglar," who has been seen on more than a few news outlets in his successful evasion of police and FBI in the theft of cars, boats and even planes (see Time). Holy shit, right?

New Plot Details Emerge on A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas

By Ethan Anderton

Story isn't the most important part of a comedy that is fueled by dick and weed jokes, but it's interesting to find out where the titular characters of A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas find themselves, and what kind of shenanigans they'll encounter in the holiday season. Luckily Vulture got their hands on a recent draft of the script which, as John Cho revealed recently, finds the smoked out duo estranged as Harold is a married, drug-free, Wall Street executive living in a home that looks "like a house in a Nancy Myers movie" while Kumar is single, living in the man-cave with his medical license suspended for smoking marijuana.

Craig Brewer Officially Helming Footloose, But Crawford's Out

By Ethan Anderton

Last October we reported that Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer was in the running to direct the new musical adaptation of the 1984 film Footloose, starring Chace Crawford and Julianne Hough, after Kenny Ortega decided to leave the project. Variety has confirmed that he will be directing, but the project may not be good to go just yet as EW's Hollywood Insider says Crawford has backed out of the role Kevin Bacon played in the original, and the studio will probably cast an unknown, launching a nationwide search for the role. This doesn't bode well for a remake that doesn't seem all that necessary to begin with anyway.

Universal Likes Seth MacFarlane's Hard R Teddy Bear Project

By Alex Billington

This could either end up being the best or the worst decision Universal has made recently, it all depends on how it turns out in the end. Deadline reports that Universal has acquired a new Seth MacFarlane project called Ted, an R-rated comedy about "a man and his teddy bear." The film has a $65 million budget and will mix live action and CG. MacFarlane will also co-star (in the live-action role?) and provide the voice for the CG-generated title character. Media Rights Capital developed the project and is in the midst of selling it to Uni. I'm wondering why Fox, who seems to really like working with MacFarlane, didn't pick this up first?

Andrew Niccol is Preparing His Next Sci-Fi Project 'I'm Mortal'

By Alex Billington

Although we have yet to hear anything new about his other film The Cross, news comes from Heat Vision today about another new science fiction project that director Andrew Niccol is preparing to shoot this summer (instead of The Cross). Niccol is the great director responsible for bringing us Gattaca, S1m0ne, and Lord of War, but hasn't made a feature film since 2005. His new project is I'm Mortal, that he wrote and will direct, and is set in the "not-too-distant" future where the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities.

A Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Sequel is in Production!

By Alex Billington

Good news! After a rumor hit last week that a sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was in the works, io9 has confirmed that it's already in production. However, they also report that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller won't be back to direct, but will be staying on creatively and helping write the story. As was unveiled last week, the title will be Pickles to Pittsburgh which comes from the second children's book in Ron and Judi Barrett's series. There is no other confirmation about actors or anything else, but at least it's currently in development. I loved Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and I'm very excited for this sequel.

Must Read: Great NY Times Profile on Actress Chloe Moretz

By Alex Billington

Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass finally hits US theaters this weekend and that means everyone will get to spend some time with the unforgettable Hit Girl, played absolutely perfectly by the very talented Chloe Moretz. Late last week, the NY Times published a profile on the young actress that's a must read for anyone who is a fan. The article is positioned somewhat as a safety response to the recent parental complaints about a girl that young saying and doing the things she does in Kick-Ass, and also just as a profile of an up-and-coming actress who, even at only 13 years old, is already vastly more mature than her age and incredibly talented.

Chris Rock Rewriting a Remake of Kurosawa's High and Low

By Ethan Anderton

Way back in 2008 we heard about a remake of Akira Kurosawa's High and Low, a 1963 detective thriller, which would be scripted by David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross, Heist) and directed by Mike Nichols. It's been a long time since then and we haven't heard one bit of new information until today, and to be honest, it's not the most thrilling update, though it is rather peculiar. While out promoting another remake, Death at a Funeral, Chris Rock mentioned to Black Voices (via ComingSoon) that he will be writing a new draft of Mamet's script with Nichols still directing. Come on, guys, April Fool's Day is getting old at this point!

Ridley Scott Already Thinking About New Robin Hood Sequels

By Alex Billington

Don't take this news the wrong way, as it seems to be an increasingly popular trend to talk about sequels to big blockbusters months before they hit theaters. Found in a Times Online article (via SlashFilm) profiling Sir Ridley Scott and his upcoming Robin Hood movie are some new quotes about a sequel and where it might be headed. Since no one has seen Robin Hood yet, it's hard to talk about where that ends, but that's where Ridley comes in and tells us exactly where the movie ends. Apparently this movie is an origin story, compared to Batman Begins, that shows us everything up until Robin is outlawed. So what will come next?

Check This Out: Sleek 'Interactive' Iron Man 2 Trailer Widget

By Alex Billington

Iron Man! Iron Man! Paramount UK has debuted a new "interactive" trailer widget for Iron Man 2 today that runs the same trailer we've seen before but with special added quirks. "Hotspots within the video will release further content and information on the characters (new & old), the evolution of the Iron Man suit and film's centrepieces - the Monaco style 'Race of Champions' and Stark Expo 2010." Sounds pretty neat. Although I'm not personally a fan of these interactive trailers, they are very cool and do contain lots of info from Iron Man, so if you're still looking for more to dig through these last few weeks, then check this out.
