VICTORIA AVEYARD'S
RED QUEEN Meanwhile, Universal has grabbed the movie rights for Victoria Aveyard's fantasy novel RED QUEEN set in a fantasy world where society is divided by the color of blood. It features a 17 year old girl who, to save her family, must assume the role of a long-lost princess while secretly aiding a revolution; her actions put into motion a deadly and violent dance, pitting prince against prince and her against her own heart. 22 year old Aveyard recently got a shocking mid six figure deal from Harper Collins for the book scheduled for 2015!
SECOND 'THE HEAT' TRAILER
SANDRA BULLOCK & MELISSA MCCARTHY
Your trailer for today is the second one for this summer's comedy THE HEAT which puts together Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy as two unlikely police partners! Hitting cinemas this July, the hilarious comedy will see Sandra Bullock playing uptight FBI special agent Sarah Ashburn who is paired with testy Boston cop Shannon Mullins, played by McCarthy, in order to take down a ruthless drug lord. The hitch: neither woman has ever had a partner - or a friend for that matter. The cast also includes Marlon Wayans, Michael Rapaport and Demian Bichir.
Poor Sandra!

DeleteI am so excited for Heat! Melissa is so hilarious and such a great comedic actress. Plus, she's from my home area and is a cousin to Jenny McArthy, a big Chitown fave.
ReplyDeleteLove Amy Adams and even if I don't see her movies in the theater, I always catch on DVD. can't wait for Man of Steel and she looked so cute as Clint Eastwood's daughter in Trouble with the Curve.
I'm really anxious to see if MAN OF STEEL will do good or if the evil fanboys will destroy it with their bad marks :(
DeleteIt always flabbergasts me when movies are sold of books that haven't even hit the market yet. How do they know the book will be popular? What if it really stinks?
ReplyDeleteDezzy will tell you the best kept secret, Mikey: the stinky book usually are the most popular :) So they find them following the biggest stench :)
