| Tim Burton, Josh Brolin Set To Team Up For ‘The Hunchback Of Notre Dame’ Posted: 28 Feb 2011 10:49 PM PST  According to the trades, and interesting new project is beginning to take form for Warner Brothers. It's being reported that none other than Tim Burton, director of movies like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, and Alice in Wonderland is helping to develop a new film adaptation of the 1831 Victor Hugo novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. On top of that, Josh Brolin, star of The Goonies, Milk, No Country For Old Men, and True Grit is also helping to develop with Burton. Brolin will also be producing and starring in the movie, though it's unclear what role he would be playing. Burton is about to get to work on Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp, so it's still unclear whether he'll have the chance to direct Hunchback as well. That decision will come after the director has read a script. The Hunchback of Notre Dame has been adapted numerous times over the years, and tells the story of a deformed man known as Quasimodo who lives in the bell tower of a cathedral and eventually falls deeply in love with a gypsy woman named Esmerelda.

| Watch Now: ‘Harry Potter’ & ‘Twilight’ Get Auto-Tuned At The Oscars Posted: 28 Feb 2011 03:56 PM PST  During E!'s coverage of the Academy Awards Red Carpet arrivals last night, host Ryan Seacrest teased that there would be a special musical nod to Twilight about halfway through the Oscars ceremony. At the time I could not imagine what could be planned and why exactly was Twilight being incorporated into the Academy Awards. About halfway through the show, there was a music video montage with scenes from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Toy Story 3, The Social Network, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 that were doctored to make it seem as those the actors were singing. To add some humor to it, the dialogue was auto-tuned. Watch the video here [...] |

The studio already revealed a look at some characters planned for the film that didn't make the final cut. Now, we have some bonus clips from the Blu-ray regarding the establishing of important characters; the voices of Thumper and Faline; and the music of the film. Watch the clips here [...] |

| TARDIS Materializes In Brooklyn Steampunk Bar Posted: 28 Feb 2011 09:41 AM PST  Looks like I just found a new place to hang out. Way Station, a steampunk/Victorian-style bar in Brooklyn, NY, has opened its doors and within you'll find a TARDIS. Yes, a TARDIS in Brooklyn!!!
