Quickie: Little Red Riding Hood getting a movie... a gothic one
Variety is reporting that Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, is set to produce a new Little Red Riding Hood movie... with a Gothic twist. They've already picked up David Leslie Johnson to write the script, he wrote the creepy looking Orphan. In researching to make sure this was accurate, everyone had a suggestion for director, in fact they all said the same thing... Tim Burton. He could easily bring together Alice in Wonderland and Sweeny Todd, but I have someone else in mind. I believe the man for the job is Guillermo del Toro! The man is responsible for movies like Pan's Labyrinth, Blade II (talk about Gothic) and the upcoming The Hobbit (prequel to the Lord of the Rings). He could do an incredible job. But we'll have to wait and see. What do you think about a Gothic kid's story?

Quickie: Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones trailer
I have to admit, Peter Jackson is one of my favorite directors today. His work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy really changed the way movies are made. His King Kong wasn't my favorite, in fact, I hated it. But that doesn't mean everyone else didn't love it. Agree to disagree I always say. His latest film is The Lovely Bones, based on the best selling novel. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci. Impressive cast!
The movie is about a girl named Susie who is murdered at the age of 14. She goes to "her perfect world" and looks over her family.... and her killer! In the meantime her father (Wahlberg) is relentless in finding the killer. The visuals of Susie's world is breathtaking, and we'd expect nothing less from Jackson. Here is a link to the official website where you'll be able to see the trailer yourself. Come back and let us know what you thought!

Sandra Bullock's The Blind Side trailer
We here at AtD are big Sandra Bullock fans. From her performances in Demolition Man (yep, remember that Stallone movie?) to her work on The Proposal (excellent movie!). She was a highlight in the Oscar winner, Crash. Now comes The Blind Side. A true story about Michael Oher, a lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. It follows Oher's poor upbringing to when he was one of the most in demand college prospects in the country. Sandra Bullock plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, a woman who adopts Oher and takes care of him. This movie has all the makings of an "early Oscar favorite". So see the trailer for yourself and tell us what you thought. Enjoy.

Clip from The Goods. Live Hard. Sell Hard
Ed Helms is really making a name for himself in Hollywood. Most people know him from the TV hit "The Office". Anyone who doesn't watch that show knows him from The Hangover. Well he's about to co-star in the upcoming, The Goods. Live Hard. Sell Hard. The movie also stars Jeremy Piven (a favorite of ours). It's about a group of salesman trying to clear out a used car lot over the course of a weekend. Helms plays a competing lot owner, who juuuuuust so happens to be in a boy band.
