SHORT HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES
I'm not sure what is happening, but after we've heard the news of Gerard Butler and Catherine Heigl starring in the film reboot of famous ROMANCING THE STONE, the same adventure is now also moving to NBC where they are making
a TV show out of the story which follows a writer who goes to the jungles of Colombia to find her missing brother. Long awaited premiere of the second season of mega popular TV show THE WALKING DEAD will have a 90 minute opening episode on Sunday, October 16th at AMC. The 12 episodes will be shown within each of the following weeks in 122 countries around the world making it the biggest global TV show ever to be aired almost simultaneously around the planet. It will be translated onto almost 40 languages.

A bunch of celebrities have landed in Serbia, where the shooting of new TV series TITANIC: BLOOD AND STEEL is about to start this week. The international co-production, which I mentioned
earlier this Spring, will depict the design of the ship, how it was built, and the financial compromises which ultimately lead to its untimely demise. Chris Noth (Mr.Big from SEX AND THE CITY) plays financier J.P. Morgan, while Neve Campbell plays a journalist covering the ship's first voyage to New York City. Derek Jacobi will play Lord William Pirrie, chairman of the company which built the Titanic. The cast also includes a number of Italian and Serbian actors, and young Hollywood star Kevin Zegers. The mini series will air next Spring celebrating the 100th year after Titanic's first and last voyage. The huge construction of Titanic has already been built in Serbian city of Kragujevac where the shooting will take place.
Hey Dezzy! I love Amy Adams. And Kevin is yowza!
ReplyDeleteI love Amy too, and Kevin is yowza!
ReplyDeleteYes, your site is full of yowza. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd watch that Amy Adams movie, even though it sounds kind of scary.
Maybe on the Adams movie.
ReplyDeleteFor sure on the mini and you can keep the rest.
Gotta love this site.
Weird about ROMANCING THE STONE. I rewatched the original recently... it gave me a chuckle of nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to THE WALKING DEAD
Oooh Titanic and financial decisions leading to many deaths. I wonder how this show will turn out (not plot wise, quality wise).

Lots of good stuff. Question for you: do you plan to do a 'what's on tv this fall' both new and old series?
ReplyDeleteoooooh! i've heard the orphanage is ScArY!!!!! yay!!!!
ReplyDeleteand the walking dead season 2! wow! how cool is it how international that one is going!?!?! i hate the wife character on that show though. i keep rooting for her to get turned into a zombie. :P
Titanic sounds interesting and all those celebs running around, how fun! Say hello to Kevin for me ;D
ReplyDeleteI look forward to Amy's movie; sounds really frightening...
I actually red the Walking Dead comic but I stopped eventually.
ReplyDeleteFreaked me out too much but the story is excellent.
I can't wait for Walking Dead season 2, though their decision to split the series in 2 is a little annoying. Still, a 90 minute epic premiere will make up for it :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they are remaking the orphanage, completely pointless.
ReplyDeleteBut the news of The Walking Dead is excellent. I have set an iCal event
@Luanne
ReplyDeleteyowza is my middle name :)))
@Mary
thank you for loving the site :)
@Lyndy
such films reminds us of lovely 80's when movies were light, fun and entertaining unlike the darkness that surrounds today's cinema :(
@Libby
ReplyDeletedon't worry, sister, it will be of great quality since the producers are great and it is being made by Italian television and they always have high class projects when it comes to historical shows
@Damon
glad you liked it
@Clarissa
I already did a huge spotlight on the new shows this Fall, you can find it here:

@Vics
ReplyDeleteoh, sister, I thought I was the only one who thought the wife in THE WALKING DEAD was seriously annoying and deserving of a kick in the ass :) I know they won't turn her into a zombie, but we can always dream :) I must admit I'm not a fan of the characters in the show, they are quite weak and unappealing when you come to think about it. The only strong one is the sheriff himself.
@Ella
I'll say hello to Kevin and take him out for a drink if I met him :))
@DWei
ReplyDeleteit is a freaky show :)
@Jamie
yes, I don't get the split of the show till February either? What's that about?
@Scott
I've no idea what iCal is :) but I'm excited about THE WALKING DEAD too, it's the only show which is broadcast freshly here as well, we have to watch all others on the Internet :(( or some on HBO Central Europe, but my cable operator doesn't offer that channel :(
As I have said in AM...jezz another remake? please stop it!
ReplyDeleteWow...how cool is that,Serbia in the spotlight ;)
I guess you'll never gonna watch the always adorable Amy Adams in that Orphanage movie. :)
ReplyDelete@Novia
ReplyDeletesince we've opened some new studios and lowered taxes on foreign productions, people are shooting films here like crazy :) And, beside that, Serbia is one of the countries with the longest history in making films (we have the oldest depots of ancient movies in the world) so we also have lots of experts and people who know the job, and foreign producers like that
@Jaccsy
I might not :)unless someone holds my hand :)
Thanksfor the update. This is Munir over here at Focus.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of movie news out of Serbia lately. TITANIC: BLOOD AND STEEL sounds interesting... so glad it's about history and not vampires.
ReplyDeleteAw, I like Amy, and THE ORPHANAGE sounds awesome possum
ReplyDelete"English language version of Spanish horror" hmm not so sure im interested heheheh
ReplyDeleteMore TV versions?? Maybe the Titanic set will become a Serbian tourist attraction if the show is a big hit.

Tossing It Out
@Anon
ReplyDeletebe welcome, Munir
@Doralynn
oh, hush, sister, Hollywood might hear you and really put vampires on Titanic :) Not that I'd mind watching Leo De Caprio eaten by vampires :P
@Kelley
we all like Amy :)
@Coneforce
ReplyDeleteah, what can you do ...
@Arlee
it could, but I'm not sure they're building the whole ship or just a deck or something. But we could always use more tourists :) Most tourists come here for nightlife and for our Roman sites, since Serbia was the birthplace of more than 16 Roman emperors.
Lots of great news. A romancing the stone tv show, huh? Could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteit could be, if done right, we could use an adventure show on TV!
ReplyDeleteI so love Amy in that outfit, I think it was on Marie Claire magazine that I subscribed to at the time. I'm not gonna watch the movie though, no interest in such a scary movie, plus why remake something that's just been released, it's just silly.
ReplyDeleteDezzy, I know I'm old enough to be Kevin's um, older sister, but when I saw him in Jane Austen Book Club, I was like YOWZA!! That guy is beautifuuul! :D
yep, I've been using and abusing her pics from MARIE CLAIRE photo shoot in my posts a lot :) It was such an amazing photo shoot. There's also one with her in a red dress, amazing as well.
ReplyDeleteKevin IS a rather nice thing to see :)
I just noticed i haven't been leaving you much comments, sorry about that. And as i said before at AM, i'm not sure what to say to the Orphanage remake...it just seems so pointless and desperate to me
ReplyDeleteWhat's AM?
ReplyDeleteYep, most remakes seem pointless ... we deserve more originality!
Wait! Amy Adams as Lois Lane? How the hell did I miss that?
ReplyDeletehow the hell did you miss that? :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a piece of news I reported almost ecstatically this spring :)
