That Veronica Mars Movie is Up to the Fans with Kickstarter!

Veronica Mars was a tv series on UPN that last only 3 seasons before ending in 2007. The series has a pretty big cult following and has only grown over the past 6 years of it being gone. How do they fix that? They will finally make a movie based on the series bringing everyone back! The only thing is it will only be done if the fans fund it though Kickstarter.

Series creator Rob Thomas has finally figured out that fans are the people who can make this thing happen and the Kickstarter is asking for 2 million dollars to finance a low-budget movie and Warner Bros. has agreed to pay for marketing and release cost for a first quarter 2014 release. Pretty sweet huh? I think so.

The incentives range from a personalized voicemail from cast to a speaking role in film! There are many more of them so check them out on the official page at Veronica Mars Kickstarter and make a donation.

It looks like all the publicity this thing is getting is working great! The project has only been live for not even a day and has passed the 1 Million mark! Holy bejeepers! Keep the money coming fans and we can get a pretty sweet movie out of this thing.

Anna Paquin and Kristin Bell Cast in Scream 4

USA Today is reporting that Anna Paquin (True Blood) and Kristin Bell (Pulse) will have cameo's in the upcoming horror film Scream 4.

Anna Paquin and Kristin Bell 

My best guess is the two will likely be the characters killed in the opening scene. It's just way to late to actually cast full roles, but just enough time to get some up-and-coming stars to have cameos in the beginning and killed within 10 minutes. 

Also, it seems that the scipt just reached 140 pages, which means Scream 4 will be graciously long enough for hardcore fans like me. It sucks that Dimension films will probably cut it down drastically after test audiences that don't care about substance say it's to long.

Some good news is Scream 4 script just hit the 140 pages, which makes me so happy. This shows that they have one awesome twist and story to tell.

More good news is the production schedule has been extended from Labor day to September 24. They have more time for reshoots and script fine-tuning.

Scream 4 stabs into theaters on April 15, 2011.

Couples Retreat Review

Couples Retreat is a comedy about four couples that go on a retreat for their marriage problems. The film is directed by Peter Billingsley (Ralphie, A Christmas Story). The cast is star studded with many comedic figures as couples like Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers) and Malin Akerman (Watchmen), Jason Bateman (Juno) and Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Jon Favreau (Iron Man) and Kristin Davis (Sex and the City), Faizon Love (Elf) and Kali Hawk (-). Even, with the great cast the film is funny, but not as funny as it could have been. There is pretty funny scenes with Jon, Vince and Faizon, but not as much as you would expect from Jason. The female cast parts are basically boring, except for Kristin Davis and Kali Hawk. Malin and Kristin Bell are your normal wives that just go with the flow and don't do anything memorable. Jean Reno is funny(Looking) in a speedo and thats about it. Also, the therapists are really funny with Ken Jeong (The Hangover) and John Higgins (Fred Claus). I just know with this cast it could have been so much better in every way, except in the casting department. Vince and Jon should have spent less time writing their parts and more on everyone else's. The story and opportunity for so many things was there, but felt like any other marriage comedy. So, this movie is not terrible, but not a memorable comedy. I give this film 73 out of 100.
