Despite a putrescent score of 7% over at Rottentomatoes.com, Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. took the saber tooth tiger by the tail and raked in some respectable cash, pulling in more than twice as much as its closest competitor. Last week's two other big releases, College Road Trip and The Bank Job, took second and fourth place respectively. Vantage Point enjoyed its third week in the top five, with sales already exceeding the film's $40 million budget by more than $10 million. Here are last weekend's totals:

1. 10,000 B.C.: $35.7 million.
2. College Road Trip: $14 million.
3. Vantage Point: $7.5 million.
4. The Bank Job: $5.7 million.
5. Semi-Pro: $5.8 million.

Last week's prehistoric adventure is counter-balanced by a post apocalyptic (sort of) romp, a classic children's book brought to the big screen, and teens kicking the living crap out of each other.

Doomsday
What's It All About: In the wake of a devastating plague, an entire country is walled off to prevent the disease from spreading. Thirty years later when the plague resurfaces, a military team is dispatched into the now barbaric quarantine zone in search of a cure.
Why It Might Do Well: Director Neil Marshall has The Descent and Dog Soldiers to his credit, two very cool flicks that have me curious about his latest.
Why It Might Not Do Well: The unimpressive trailer indicates a hodge podge collection of influences including The Road Warrior, Escape From New York and Underworld.
Number of Theaters: 1,800
Prediction: $9.5 million

I've alerted you to a few of Moviefone's Unscripted series, and this one is, by far, my favorite. Jim Carrey and Steve Carell sat down to ask each other a collection of questions in promotion of their upcoming film, Horton Hears a Who. A CG version of the old Dr. Seuss tale, Carrey voices Horton, an elephant who hears a plea for help from a speck of dust in the air. The rest of his animal kingdom thinks he's crazy, but he still tries to help his minute little friends. Carell plays the Mayor of Whoville.

If there's any critique for the above interview, it's that it's all too brief. I won't say too much about what you can see above, because it's better to watch it than read it. But here are some highlights: aspirations to entertain the clergy, insane people from Vermont, enjoying the taste of adrenaline, chastising questions, and the mean Carol Burnett.

The movie hits theaters this week, and also features the voice talents Dane Cook, Isla Fisher, Dan Fogler, Jonah Hill, Amy Poehler, Jaime Pressly, Charles Osgood, and Seth Rogen.

I never saw the recent movie versions of The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I mean, I'm sure they were funny and all, but Dr. Seuss' books, as well as the cartoon versions of his books (The Grinch, The Lorax), were just such the gospel to me when I was a kid -- still are, as a matter of fact -- that to interpret any of his work in live-action form seemed the height of sacrilege. (Except for the time Jesse Jackson read Green Eggs in Ham on Saturday Night Live. Whoever thought of that for a skit was either high, or a genius, or both.)

Well, it sounds like somebody's been listening to my inner nagging old lady, because Fox is remaking another Dr. Seuss book -- Horton Hears a Who! -- and this time, they're doing it ANIMATED. Hurrah! And, duh! Granted, they probably couldn't figure out a way to make the elephant look real, but I'll take my triumphs any way I can get 'em.

Teaming up for the second time (the first was Evan Bruce Almighty) are the comic dream team of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell: Carrey as Horton the elephant, who discovers an entire tiny city that exists on a speck of dust, and Carell as the Mayor of Whoville, the tiny said city that exists on said speck of dust. Oh, and a whole bunch of other people lend their voices to the movie, too ... like Carol Burnett, Will Arnett, Isla Fisher, Seth Rogen, and Amy Poehler, to name a few.

Now, a person's a person, no matter how small, but Carrey and Carell happen to be huge. And awesome. And side-splittingly funny. And it's not just because their last names are practically identical. We're delighted that they've agreed to sit for one of Moviefone's Unscripted interviews, in which they'll be interviewing each other using audience-submitted questions.

We need your questions to make it happen, though, and fast, because the interview's taping this Sunday (March 2). So submit a question by Friday for either Carrey or Carell below, and please be sure to include your name and the city where you live -- then check back here on March 10 to see if your question made it to air. Extra points if you write your question in anapestic tetrameter. Good luck!

Edited because Bruce Almighty was the one with Steve Carell in it; Evan Almighty was the one with the ark in it. D'oh!

So it's no secret that Steve Carell hasn't always made the best choices when it comes to movie roles. The same could probably be said of some of Jim Carrey's choices as well, so there could be a lot riding on both their reputations for the big-screen adaptation of the classic Dr. Seuss story, Horton Hears a Who!. Erik had brought us the first teaser back in July and now a full feature trailer has been released.

Horton is based on the 1954 children's story about a microscopic world that gains an elephant as their protector. Over the years the story's moral of "a person's a person no matter how small" has been interpreted as a response to the McCarthy anti-communist era and the importance of treating the "least of us" with a little care and respect -- pretty heavy for a kid's book, I know, but it does make me long for the days when children's entertainment had more going for it than tie-in deals. The film stars Carell as the feisty mayor of Whoville and Jim Carrey as their elephant advocate. The film has a solid supporting cast that includes some truly hilarious people; namely Will Arnett, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Amy Poehler, and Carol Burnett.

So even if you are not the biggest fan of kid's movies, after watching this trailer, you can't deny this is one snazzy looking movie with some big-name comedic talent. But I guess everyone said the same thing about Bee Movie, and we all know how that turned out. Horton Hears a Who! arrives in theaters on March 14th, 2008.

Our pals over at Moviefone have an exclusive first look at the first trailer for Horton Hears a Who, based off the book written by Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) back in 1954. Jim Carrey once again visits the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss as Horton; an imaginative elephant who's convinced there's a community of people crying out for help on a tiny piece of dust that's flying through the air. Little does he know, but that tiny speck is actually its own planet; home to a city called Who-Ville and a feisty major (voiced by Steve Carell) who's privy to the world outside Who-Ville, even if no one else is. When the residents of Who-Ville ask Horton for protection, he happily obliges -- however, the surrounding animals all think he's gone nuts. Can Horton help his animal pals hear the Who-Ville cries before it's too late, and they end up a part of "beezlenut stew?" Though it's only a teaser, I have to say this one definitely has potential -- as it should with a voice cast that includes Carrey, Carell, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Dane Cook, Will Arnett, Dan Fogler, Amy Poehler and Isla Fisher. It also goes to show that Dr. Seuss material belongs in the animation realm, and not in live action. As much as I love Mike Myers and Jim Carrey, their two Seuss-related films (The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas) were, um, not that good. Check out the trailer above; Horton Hears a Who hits theaters on March 14, 2008.

Twentieth Century Fox (through their animation studios) have just provided ComingSoon.net with some early images from the upcoming Horton Hears a Who, based on the classic children's book, which will feature the vocal talents of Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell. One look at the two beautiful pictures, and I immediately thought "Dr. Seuss would be proud of these." Go have a look and see for yourself, the images just scream classic Seuss-y style, almost as if they sprang from the pages right onto the screen and ... uh ... morphed into fancy looking 3D CGI while they were at it.

Yes, I'm an unashamed lover of all things Seuss. Really, who among us isn't? If this film plays well (and I have trouble imagining it not doing so), it is probably likely we'll see more animated Seuss headed our way soon, which is a truly wonderful proposition. Hands up, everyone who wants to see Bartholomew and the Oobleck! Who is in favor of a brand-new cinematic Great Butter Battle?*

*And wow, how timely would a Great Butter Battle movie be, given the current world climate?

Two high profile comedic actors, Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, are all set to join forces for the second time, having already starred together in the 2003 hit Bruce Almighty. The catch is, technically, neither of them will actually be seen on the screen. As it turns out, the union of these two comedians will not be seen, only heard, as they plan to team up for a big-screen adaptation of Doctor Seuss' famous children's classic Horton Hears a Who for 20th Century Fox. Remarkably, this will be the first time Carrey has lent his voice to a CGI character -- but not the first time he's done a Doctor Seuss adaptation (remember the Grinch film?). As far as who plays who, Carrey will voice Horton, while Carell will speak for the tiny mayor.

I imagine many of you out there (including myself) have particularly fond memories of Horton Hears a Who. And oddly enough, I find myself rather excited by the idea of a CGI version of it. It'll be interesting to see if they can successfully stretch it out into a full length movie, and I expect I'll be in the theater to check it out. What do you think?
