‘Hobbit’ Release Date Revealed

Mark O. Estes — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:20:52 +0000

“Lord of the Rings” fans, rejoice! “The Hobbit” finally has a release date.

EW.com reports that Warner Bros. has announced that the first installment of “The Hobbit” will ‘hopefully’ be released in December 2012, with the second installment dropping a year later in December 2013. Keep in mind though that the script is still being hammered out, so, without that must-have backbone pretty much nothing can be moved forward in terms of production. Peter Jackson, the director of the “Lord of the Rings” films, is coming back as a producer, while Guillermo del Toro (”Hellboy 2: The Golden Army,” “Pan’s Labyrinth”) will direct both installments of the long-awaited live-action take on the classic prequel tale.

What do you tweeters have to say?

Twlight Saga’s “New Moon” Premiere Sets Records

Shari Weiss — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:50:20 +0000

When “New Moon,” the second film in the “Twlight Saga” series, premiered at midnight, it had already set records. According to EW.com, several online ticketing services reported selling more advance tickets than ever before, beating records previously set by monster box office films like “The Dark Knight,” “Harry Potter,” “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings.”

Accordingly, per GossipCop, the midnight grosses surpassed “Potter” and “Knight,” making “New Moon” the biggest midnight opening ever.

Tickets for the midnight showings began selling out early as September, with some theaters showing “Twilight” earlier in the evening fans could watch the two flicks back-to-back.

Fans were as excited as ever while non-fans remained turned off:

The Harvard Lampoon Creates “Twilight” Spoof: “Nightlight”

Kaitlin Mattison — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:24:32 +0000

According to EW.com, the Harvard Lampoon has tackled their first parody novel in more than four decades. The lucky recipient of the honor is Stephanie Meyers, as the Lampoon has targeted her hit book “Twilight.”

On November 3, “Nightlight” will be published in anticipation of the November 20th release of “New Moon” (the second book of the Saga) in theaters.

Meyers is in good company, as the Lampoon’s prior parodies include “Bored of the Rings” (a spin-off of Tolkien’s fam series), and “Doon,” a take on Frank Herbert’s “Dune.”

The Twitter world weighed in on the Lampoon’s latest venture:

ribonberry Next book : the nightlight by harvard lampoon ♡

acidink the harvard lampoon is making a parody of twilight. now THAT is a book I’ll wait in line for.

VBear @bribri1987 Harvard Lampoon released a parody novel of Twlight, Nightlamp. Hahaha

popture The Harvard Lampoon is writing a Twilight satire, Marge Simpson is next month’s Playboy cover and in 85 days it will be 2010. Fair enough.

Michael Jackson Movie Tickets Already Selling Out

Bobby Pellegrino — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:47:12 +0000

Even in death, Michael Jackson will perform to record-breaking, sell-out crowds. Advance screenings of the documentary “Michael Jackson: This Is It” have sold out within hours after tickets were released, according to a report form the Associated Press.

The documentary, which opens nationwide on October 28, is compiled from hundreds of hours of rehearsal footage of the “King of Pop” preparing for his 50 sold-out comeback shows, which were scheduled to begin July 13.

Outside the U.S., ticket sales are also strong. More than $1 million in tickets were sold in Japan on the first day of their release, according to Reuters. In London, where Jackson was scheduled to begin his comeback tour, fans bought more than 30,000 tickets on the first day, surpassing advance ticket sales for the “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings” movies.
