Freddy Krueger To Kill Black CW Sitcoms In Their Sleep
The return of Freddy Krueger. The sad remaining of Chace Crawford and Christina Ricci books a porn movie, The Hangover goes out on the town again.
Though the first one hasn’t even been released, Warner Bros. has already struck a deal with director Todd Phillips to create a sequel to The Hangover, a comedy starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis. The film has apparently tested well and a trailer had people rolling in the aisles at ShoWest. [Variety] Joel Schumacher, the sometimes-hackish director who nearly killed the Batman franchise until Christopher Nolan, dressed as Florence Nightingale, ran over to save it, has assembled one of the weirder casts possible for his new movie, Twelve. The film about youth and drugs and murder, based on a book, will star 50 Cent, Ellen Barkin, Kiefer Sutherland, Nancy Drew, the youngest acting Culkin, and Chace Crawford. [Variety]
New Line has cast area creepo Jackie Earle Haley as its next Freddy Krueger. The movie haus is putting together a sequel/reboot of their classic kills-you-in-your-sleep franchise, creatively titled A Nightmare On Elm Street. It’s good casting, but man oh man must Robert Englund be pissed. [Variety] Jason Katims, the busy showrunner type from Friday Night Lights and the upcoming Parenthood, has signed on to steer another series. This one is called Dorothy Gale and is a modern Wizard of Oz story about a girl who moves from Kansas to big, bad Manhattan to pursue her dream of working in the art world. Katims’ first act as boss? Deeming the original title, Ugly Dorothy Has Sex in the City with Her Friends and then Meets Your Mother, too long. [Variety]
Erstwhile Hollywood star Christina Ricci has been cast in the new Adam Sandler movie, though it doesn’t look as though Sandler himself will star. But he did write it! It’s about a guy who discovers that his parents were secretly porn stars in the 70’s, so he moves to Hollywood to continue the proud family tradition. Ricci plays the confused girlfriend. [THR]

Man, won't Freddy stay dead this time?? And no Robert Englund = Fail in my mind...although I should reserve judgment until I see the final product.
The youngest acting Culkin is supposedly good in that movie Lymelife, if we're talking about the same person.
Having just come over from The Daily Beast, I thought that picture of Freddy was one of Christopher Buckley. Oy.

JEH is such a good choice, I imagine Robert Englund is probably pleased.  He is
a really interesting talented actor, not some guy who's going to do an
impression of RE in his Freddy costume.
Based on the trailer alone, I'm very curious as to how much TBS will have to cut out of Crank 2 to make it FCC-worthy.

Wait, isn't that Adam Sandler movie based on Thora Birch? Weren't her parents in 70's porn?
The film about youth and drugs and murder, based on a book...
LOL.
@propertius: Soon it will be the Broadway musical based on the film about youth and drugs and murder, based on a book ...
@Macloserboy:
Yes they were. They met on the set of Deepthroat. I smell a lawsuit...

A Chace is a terrible thing to waste.
Wow, "The Game" is so much better than Tyler Perry's two shows. And I'm a Madea fan. But his sitcoms are really, really not funny.

@MickyK: *It's NOT overdone at all ;D
@JudyPaceFace: I am surprised to say, but The Game is actually entertaining at times. It's overdone at all.
Tyler Perry's shows are complete shit though. Definitely could lose that crapfest.
