Watch What Happens When ‘Beetlejuice’ Is Said 3 Times On ‘Community’ Posted: 05 Dec 2011 07:53 PM PST I think it's safe to say that NBC's Community is an awesome show and is definitely one of the best sitcoms to come out in recent years, which makes the fact that the network yanked the show from its Winter 2012 so disappointing. While there's already tons to love about the series, now there's one more reason: The showrunners managed to slip the name "Beetlejuice" into three episodes and we all know what happens when you say "Beetlejuice" three times, right? Watch the video here below to see what happened on Community [...]

Universal Orlando Closing Their ‘Jaws’ Attraction After More Than 20 Years Posted: 05 Dec 2011 07:00 PM PST Universal Studios announced on Friday on their Facebook page that their Orlando, Florida resort will be closing the Jaws-themed area and water ride Captain Jake's Amity Boat Tours on January 2, 2012. The ride, which was inspired by the Jaws portion of the Universal Studios Hollywood resort's backlot tram experience, has been in operation since the Orlando resort opened in June 1990 at a cost of $65 million [...]

Bradley Cooper Says ‘The Hangover 3′ Could Be Filming By September, Set In L.A. Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST At the moment, The Hangover: Part III is not officially happening yet. But considering the amount of money the first two installments made ($467.4 million and $581.4 million worldwide, respectively) and word from director Todd Phillips and now star Bradley Cooper, it's no great stretch to assume we're getting at least one more Hangover. Phillips is currently working on a script for the trilogy-maker, and, according to Cooper, the hope is that filming can begin by September. [...]

‘RoboCop’ & ‘Dexter’ Star Peter Weller Cast In ‘Star Trek 2′ Posted: 05 Dec 2011 03:02 PM PST Casting on the highly anticipated follow-up to director J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek revival, simply known as Star Trek 2 at the moment, continues to happen at a quick pace. It's being reported that Peter Weller, star of such titles as RoboCop, Dexter, and 24, has been added to the cast. At the moment, however, nothing is known about who he might be playing. Weller joins fellow newcomers Benicio Del Toro and Alice Eve, who are also up for roles of little detail. [...]

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Looking To Join Michael Bay’s ‘Pain And Gain’? Posted: 05 Dec 2011 02:03 PM PST If there has ever been a pairing as intriguing as this one, at least in the world of action films, I have yet to see it. Variety is reporting that actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is eyeing the lead role in Michael Bay's upcoming film, Pain And Gain. Mark Wahlberg is also being looked at to star alongside Johnson, in what is being described as a low budget crime flick following the story of a pair of bodybuilders that end up getting mixed up in an extortion ring. The film is being penned by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely [...]

Must Watch: Trailer For Joss Whedon’s ‘The Cabin In The Woods’ Finally Released Posted: 05 Dec 2011 12:52 PM PST Though the movie was finished filming in 2009 and originally slated for release in 2010, The Cabin in the Woods is just now giving us a first official trailer. The movie, which is written and produced by Joss Whedon and written and directed by Drew Goddard, fell victim to MGM's major financial woes, and like many others it found itself stashed away in the attic, left to gather dust. But thankfully for all of us, Lionsgate eventually showed up to save the day and set a new release date of April 13, 2012. [...]

Recently, it was revealed that both Asa Butterfield (confirmed) and Harrison Ford (rumored) were involved with the film, which will be helmed by Gavin Hood [...]

‘Walking Dead’ Producer Gale Anne Hurd Developing ‘Area 51′ For Television Posted: 05 Dec 2011 10:01 AM PST Uber-producer and former Mrs. James Cameron Gale Anne Hurd (Aliens, The Walking Dead) has a new television project, and this time rather than focus on a world besieged by undead cannibals Hurd is looking to explore the mysteries of the unknown that exist within our own borders, and I'm not just talking about the popularity of Snuggies. The producer is developing a television series based on the recently published non-fiction book Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base by Annie Jacobsen [...]
