Percy Jackson & the Olylmpians: The Lightning Thief
You go years without seeing Medusa and then all of a sudden we get two in one week. Percy Jackson is a descendant of both mortals and greek gods, and apparently his lineage comes with some way cool powers and some fearsome villains who want to do him in (among which is Uma Thurman as the aforementioned Medusa). Based on a series of books and directed by Chris Columbus, who helmed the first two Harry Potter films, this looks like it could be some good escapist teen fun, though not quite on the same level as Harry Potter. Watch for this on February 12.
Clash of the Titans
As for Medusa number two, she is just one of the monstrosities in this remake of the 1981 film about the adventures of Perseus from Greek mythology. Most of the original film's charm comes from the stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen, so it will be interesting to see how well the ideas translate to modern effects technology. The clash begins on March 26.
Remember Me
Robert Pattinson plays the tortured emo kid card once more in this drama about a young man trying to find his way. He's really got the angry young man thing down and Lost's Emile de Ravin makes for an appealing romantic interest. This will be out on March 12.
Miley Cyrus Hates Twilight, Debuts New Trailer
Filed under: Romance », Fandom », Trailers and Clips »
Teen icon Miley Cyrus can't do anything these days without causing a stir of some kind. The only thing I can't figure out is if she does it on purpose or just has a bad case of her mouth running away with her. During a recent backstage interview with the singer/actress, Cyrus was asked the defining question of our generation: "Team Edward or Team Jacob?" Well, it turns out the answer is neither, and she told journalists, "I've never seen [Twilight], nor will I. I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires, I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching TV at night, I don't want anything to do with it." (Oh snap! There's going to be a tween-off. Just think, it will be like West Side Story but with glitter and blond wigs!) Personally, I think she was trying to make a joke, and if she was, her comedy skills definitely need a little work.Now, the cynic in me would mark the fact that this latest headline to spring from the tween sensation is just in time for the release of the trailer of her new romantic weepie, The Last Song. So what better way to get teen girls' attention than to bad-mouth their hunk(s) of the moment? Last Song stars Cyrus as a piano prodigy reconnecting with her father (played by Greg Kinnear) and falling in love, but this is a Nicholas Sparks story, so I can only assume somebody is going to die or get a horrible disease before the flick is through. The film is Cyrus' latest attempt to shed her Hannah Montana image and was the next step in becoming a serious actress. But now we'll have to see if she lives long enough to avoid a Cullen-inspired vendetta.

Now Miley Cyrus is Getting Paid for Her Rebellion
Message in a Bottle didn't do it, but The Notebook sent Hollywood into a Nicholas Sparks frenzy. For the most part, it's been adaptations of his novels, like that Nights in Rodanthe and the upcoming Dear John. But last September, word hit that Disney was cooking up a different type of project -- Sparks was going to switch his write the novel and sell it approach by doing a tandem project -- writing a special screenplay for Miley Cyrus while also cooking up a new novel. At the time, all details were under wraps, but now the veil is being lifted.Variety reports that the film will be called The Last Song, and Julie Anne Robinson will make her feature directorial debut with the project. (She's previously directed episodes for shows like Weeds and Pushing Daisies.) I can't help but wonder if Sparks found his inspiration in Miley, because the young actress and singer will play "a rebellious teenager sent to spend the summer with her estranged father."
Of course, this is already being touted as Cyrus' stepping stone to be taken seriously as an actress, but if this reflects her cell phone shenanigans at all, it could easily become a project that sadly mimics adolescence rather than moving beyond it. At some point, they've got to realize that the best way to be taken seriously as an actress, or to be seen as a grown up is to, well, act mature!
But now this feature needs a dad. Will the "Achey Breaky" one do?
