With Hollywood increasingly adopting the trend of turning toys, board games and commercial characters into feature films, it was just a matter of time before popular food mascots got cast in their own films.
According to the trades, Centris Productions and General Mills are developing a feature film based upon the company's popular 'Jolly Green Giant' character, which has been used to sell food products for the company since 1928. Entitled Jolly Green Giant, The Ripening, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has signed to star in the title role.
Stephen Maddington (It Happened One Night in the Bathroom) and Cien Opstanshiki (The Dark Within) have been hired to pen a first draft of the script. Though story details are sketchy at this point, it's been revealed that the plot will combine elements from "Jack and the Beanstalk" and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Verne Troyer will also appear as the Little Green Sprout,...

You probably already read our story on Monday concerning publisher Grand Central Press' trailer for author Seth Grahame-Smith's novel "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter", a fictional account of Abraham Lincoln that portrays the 16th President of the United States as the world's most skilled vampire hunter.
Deadline is now reporting that Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) have used their own money to acquire film rights to the novel. No studio is involved as of yet.
Graham-Smith has made a career out of cross-breeding classic literature and pop culture tropes. His first book, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" imagined the Jane Austen tale with a twist: flesh eating zombies. That book is already headed for feature film treatment with Natalie Portman attached to star.
We're curious about your thoughts on all of this, or if maybe you have some movie mashup ideas of your own. Let us know below.

On Monday, Eric Chu talked about the current obsession Hollywood has with making damn near everything into 3-D these days, and referenced an article over at Slate.com about "cost effective" (read: cheap) ways to obtain the 3-D effect for almost any property…new or archived.
Now, in a new article over at Variety about converting films into 3-D, the trade says Paramount is playing with the idea of making Transformers 3 in 3-D (as if the last film wasn't enough of a sensory bombardment already). Here's what the trade had to say:
Bay's next project is "Transformers 3," and there have been discussions among Bay, Paramount and Industrial Light & Magic about going 3-D with the pic. The big stumbling block is the extra time required to do production and visual effects in 3-D, as the movie's release date is already set. Having the pic post-converted could alleviate that problem.

Our own Eric Chu has twice expressed his skepticism over Hollywood's resurrected fascination with 3-D (read more here). The trend, which was all the rage in the 1950s, lost popularity by the '70s despite some technical advancements. It thus never really caught on as anything more than a fad back then, and Eric — along with a number of other industry insiders — think that history is set to repeat itself, despite new 21st century advances in 3-D technology. While the reasons for this skepticism are several, the chief stumbling block remains, for many, the inconvenience of having to wear those blasted glasses (no matter how fashionable they make them).
You can count Jason Reitman among those unconvinced by 3-d's sudden resurgence. Speaking recently with MovieRetriever, the director of such films as Juno and Up in the Air told the site that that he's not sold on the concept of 3-D.

Back in April, our own Eric Chu wrote an article, 'New' 3-D: The Next Big Thing...?, about how the old "fad" of 3-D has become the new "fad" of 3-D. Sure, the technology has improved: polarized glasses, rock steady projectors, digital processing, etc. But the basics remain the same, which leads us to wonder if this "new" trend will be all the rage for a few years, then disappear into filmic oblivion once again after the gimmick wears off. Certainly the 3-D footage of Avatar shown at Comic-Con wasn't particularly impressive by virtue of its dimensionality (I fully understand the full effect wasn't rendered in Hall H), more by virtue of the CGI and performance capture, so one wonders what all the fuss is about...again?
Meanwhile, some while ago Iron Man director Jon Favreau was invited — along with a who's who of Hollywood filmmakers — by James Cameron to witness...

Apple ignited the frenzy that has the tech world all shook up with mobile-app fever. How startups, big brands, and the iPhone's rivals are vying to cash in on the booming market.
If you hold shares in Apple and you're keen to help the company boost iPhone sales -- not that it needs your help -- try this: Next time you're at an office happy hour, whip out your phone, open the App Store, and buy a title called Ocarina (it'll set you back a buck). Now hand the phone over to an iPhone skeptic and watch him figure it out.
Ocarina starts up with four mysterious blue circles on the screen, and in the lower right-hand corner, a flashing yellow arrow with the instruction, blow into the mic. Your pal does that -- and when his breath hits the phone, the device emits an ethereal, high-pitched tone, perhaps what...

Yes, kids, Tokyo Zombie is now on shelves and the time has come to announce the winners of our DVD giveaway contest. To win all you had to do was name three films that Show Aikawa starred in for Takashi Miike, which I realized was a stupid question that could be answered by simply saying “The Dead Or Alive trilogy” shortly after people started doing exactly that. I was thinking more along the lines of Gozu, Zebraman, Waru etc, myself, though I honestly don’t recommend watching Waru. It’s pretty bad. But I digress. Winners! Five of ‘em! Congratulations to: Chris Smith, Jordan Andrei, Eric Chu, Marc-Andre Goulet and the fabulously named Yasir Makhdoom.
