'The Evil Dead' Remake Gets an Official Early April 2013 Release Date

"Shut up, Linda!" Whether you want it or not, the remake of Sam Raimi's original 1981 horror classic Evil Dead is being put into production by Ghost House & Mandate Pictures and Sony & Film District, and it now has an official release date. Bloody-Disgusting reports it is now set for April 12th, 2013. So just before the summer of Star Trek 2, Iron Man 3, Fast 6, Monsters U. and Man of Steel, we'll get our new look at Diablo Cody and director Fede Alvarez's new take on Evil Dead (the logo above), without even an Ash character this time. Instead it's just a story about five friends holed up at a remote cabin who uncover a Book of the Dead.

Crowe's 'We Bought a Zoo' Getting Sneak Previews One Month Early

By Alex Billington

Wow this a bold move. Deadline is confirming that Fox has scheduled sneak previews in over 800 theaters next weekend for Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo, his new family film adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir. The sneaks will take place on Saturday, November 26th on Thanksgiving weekend, one month before We Bought a Zoo regularly hits theaters on December 23rd. Fox must be very confident that they have a wonderful movie on their hands, and even Crowe is behind it. "I'm really excited about these sneaks. Holding previews so far ahead of our opening is a bold move – but that's one of the many reasons I like it."

Gavin Hood's 'Ender's Game' Adaptation Set for March 2013 Release

By Alex Billington

Holy crap, it's really happening! As long as we make it to 2013. That Ender's Game movie now has an official release date - March 15th, 2013. Just like The Avengers, this is one movie I thought we'd never see, but it's coming. Summit Entertainment, who is developing this, has set a number of 2012/2013 release dates (more below) and among them is Ender's Game, which now has that early March 2013 date. I'm always unsure about March movies, but I've been hearing some amazing things and have a feeling this could turn out great. Gavin Hood is directing, but still no casting info yet. A few more dates from Summit below.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's 'Premium Rush' Pushed Back to Summer 2012

By Alex Billington

Briefly: A release update that might interest a few of you. Sony/Columbia has rescheduled David Koepp's Premium Rush, the bike messenger "action movie" starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (trailer), to a late summer August 24th, 2012 release instead of the originally planned January 13. I always felt that was an odd spot, especially after seeing the trailer, it fits better in the summer. It just sucks that we have to wait another 8 months, I really wanted to see this! Also stars Michael Shannon, Jamie Chung, Dania Ramirez and Aasif Mandvi, written and directed by David Koepp. As of this moment, nothing else is set for the 24th.

Johnny Depp & 'The Lone Ranger' Coming But Not Until May 31, 2013

By Ethan Anderton

Though surprising news came back in August that Disney had halted production on their big budget adaptation of The Lone Ranger starring Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the titular hero and Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto, it sounded like the project might actually get back on track with a lower budget that included new deals for Johnny Depp, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. That deal was made official earlier this week, but now the production delay means the film won't meet its original December 2012 release date, and will instead hit May 31st, 2013, for the summer.

By Ethan Anderton

Back in July we learned that director John Moore (Max Payne) would step up to direct Die Hard 5, and the story might take John McClane and his son to Russia for the action. Now we not only have confirmation on that news, but a release date and an official title for the next installment in the long-running action franchise starring Bruce Willis. An official press release today revealed that A Good Day to Die Hard will hit theaters on February 14th, 2013, making a perfect date movie for all those sweethearts out there. The film will find McClane trying to save his son somewhere in Russia where "nothing is what it seems."

Steve McQueen's 'Shame' with Fassbender Opening on December 2nd

By Alex Billington

Michael Fassbender in Steve McQueen's Shame

Briefly: Good news - Fox Searchlight has scheduled a limited release of Steve McQueen's controversial, but sensational, film Shame, starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, on December 2nd this fall - right smack in the middle of the awards season. The news comes from a @FoxSearchlight tweet stating that "we're releasing Steve McQueen's SHAME in the US on December 2nd, 2011!" No word on the rating, as it's expected to receive NC-17 or go unrated, but who knows. I saw the film in Telluride and loved it, and I think Fassbender has a strong chance for an Oscar nom. We'll keep you updated on cities and release plans.

'Red Dawn' Remake Finally Getting Released Courtesy of Film District

By Ethan Anderton

Back in June of 2010, we got word that the financial woes of MGM might cause the gestating remake of Red Dawn to remain shelved indefinitely. Since then we've seen a cool cast photo and rumblings of digital modifications to the film to change the villainous country in the story from China to North Korea, but there's been no talk about when we might actually see the film on the big screen. Now we have an answer as 24 Frames has learned that Film District, the company behind this year's releases Drive and Insidious is finalizing a deal with MGM to allow them to finally distribute the film sometime in 2012. More below!

See the movie everyone is cheering about! Lionsgate announced nationwide "sneak previews" this Sunday for the MMA drama Warrior, starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton as brothers and former MMA fighters who end up in the ring together.

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Returns to IMAX 3D This Weekend

By Alex Billington

Here we go again. Paramount has announced via THR/Deadline that Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark of the Moon will be returning to IMAX theaters only for a two-week run starting this weekend, August 26th, through September 8th. These will be IMAX 3D showings of the movie, which was mostly shot in 3D and digitally remastered with IMAX technology. Dark of the Moon, which I admittedly enjoyed, has already earned $350 million at the box office since opening on June 28th this summer, but don't forget it's already over $1 billion worldwide. However that's not enough for Paramount or Bay, as they want to push it higher.

'Midnight in Paris' Returning to Theaters for a Wide Release Next Week

By Alex Billington

Marion Cotillard & Owen Wilson in Midnight in Paris

"You're in love with a fantasy." Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris starring Owen Wilson, which already became the highest grossing Woody Allen film in over 25 years, is returning to theaters in wide release next week. The film originally opened on May 20th after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival (that's where I first saw it) and has slowly been opening in art house theaters nationwide. Sony Pictures Classics announced that they're re-releasing it on Friday, August 26th, in wide release, so that anyone who hasn't seen it yet can finally catch up with it. If I can make the suggestion, definitely see this if you haven't yet, it's very good.
