James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow in Race for Oscars and Green Globes
James Cameron has been cleaning up at the movie award ceremonies this year winning Best Director and Best Motion Picture at the Golden Globe Awards and receiving a stellar nine Oscar nominations for the March Academy Awards. He has also received seven nominations for the Green Globe Film Awards with Best Picture, Best Action Film, Best Science Fiction Film, Best Director, Best Music/Song in a Film, 10 Best Pictures of the Decade, and 10 Best Filmmakers of the Decade.
The highly celebrated Canadian film director, producer, screenwriter, editor and inventor has been competing with his former wife Kathryn Bigelow (Hurt Locker) who took the Best Director Award at the 2010 Directors Guild of America Awards and Producers Guild Awards. Bigelow tied Cameron with nine Oscar nominations this year, and the Green Globes may give Cameron the upper hand in the award race as Bigelow only received one Green Globe nomination for Best Picture, as opposed to Cameron’s seven.
Brand New Chloe Poster
Earlier we posted the trailer for “Chloe” drama thriller and now we have a brand new poster.
Atom Egoyan’s remake of the French thriller “Nathalie centers on Catherine (Julianne Moore), a Toronto-based gynecologist whose husband, David, (Liam Neeson) spends so much time away from home that she begins to suspect he’s sleeping around. On a whim, she hires nubile hooker Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to seduce David and test his fidelity. Although this recalls the basic premise of Mike Judge’s “Extract,” the tone in “Chloe” aims less for outright humor than a dark progression of uneasy tones. Touted as a change of pace for Egoyan, it plays more like a weird pulp version of his other movies. As the titular character obsesses over Catherine’s life, setting her eyes beyond David and onto the couple’s rebellious teenage son, Michael (Max Thierot), the movie veers into film noir when its main heroine takes on a femme fatale mystique.

Speaking to the Daily Mail,Murray revealed that killing off his character Peter Venkman was his own suggestion.
“I’ll come back in Ghostbusters 3 only if I get to be a ghost,”
Murray commented.

David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan Working on Batman 3 Script?
According to Deadline Hollywood, David Goyer (Blade: Trinity) has left his role as showrunner on ABC’s sci-fi drama “FlashForward” to concentrate on his movie career.

“I’m proud of the show and excited about the relaunch. It’s in great hands.”
He will still be involved with the show as the 23-episode order is completed.

“The Back-up Plan” Super Bowl TV Spot
CBS Films has debuted new Super Bowl XLIV TV spot for “The Back-up Plan” online.
“The Back-up Plan” is a comedy that explores dating, love, marriage and family “in reverse.”
After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. That same day, Zoe meets Stan (Alex O’Loughlin) – a man with real possibilities.
Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says he’s in. Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed – Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow. Or, where “date night” consists of being the “focal point” at a near-stranger’s water birth which does for kiddie pools what “Jaws” did for swimming in the ocean. The real pregnancy test comes when both of them realize they really don’t know each other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations. With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other.
