Second “Ghost Town” Poster
Second poster for the upcoming “Ghost Town” comedy, starring Ricky Gervais, Tea Leoni and Greg Kinnear has been released, featuring a shot of Gervais being bothered by a Kinnear’s ghost.
In the comedy “Ghost Town”, Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais) is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired.

Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Tea Leoni). That puts Pincus squarely in the middle of a triangle, with spirited results. Continue Reading…
Tom Cruise to Star in Comedy “Food Fight”
Tom Cruise has been linked to Universal’s new high school cafeteria comedy “Food Fight“.
Cruise would play a snooty New York chef who, for some odd reason, is forced to cook in a school cafeteria.
Taking a step into comedy sounds like a good step for Cruise. As already said, he’s terrific in “Tropic Thunder“. He’s never really made a purely comedic film, only films with comedic elements, and that’s not for want of comedy talent.
Veteran scribe Adam Brooks who wrote and directed the enjoyable film “Definitely, Maybe” is attached to write the screenplay. A search for a director is under way.
Cruise next stars in historical action film “Valkyrie“, in which he plays a very serious role: Klaus von Stauffenberg, the Nazi commander who plotted to kill Hitler. I can’t wait to see it. From sneak preview reports – it’s a must-see movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

But once the boys catch the eye of some of the older sorority girls (Haley Bennett, Camille Mana and Natalie Walker), the threatened Frat-boys increase the pre-frosh humiliation and blackmail them by threatening to expose their age. The boys decide to fight back, retaliating with a major revenge scheme that lands them on top. Continue Reading…
