Back in August we gave you your first peek at the new Hayden Christensen film, Vanishing on 7th Street. Even though we’re not avid fans of the man’s acting we had to admit that the film’s premise had us intrigued. It brings a new meaning to the phrase “things that go bump in the night.” Check out the latest trailer courtesy of Yahoo Movies…
Tyler Perry is stepping outside of his comfort zone with his latest film, For Colored Girls. It’s the first film that he’s written and directed that’s not based on his own material. The story is adapted from the award winning stage play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf, which was penned by Ntozake Shange in 1977. Was Perry able to successfully adapt the material for the big screen?

This weekend the feature adaptation of the stage play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf will open in theaters nationwide. The film is directed by Tyler Perry, who also adapted and wrote the screenplay based on this heartbreaking material. The cast of For Colored Girls is a who’s who of stage, film, and television legends including Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, and Thandie Newton.
We had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Newton about her role in the film and the dark subject matter that For Colored Girls addresses. Her character’s name is Tangie, an oversexed, overly aggressive woman who isolates herself from the world. She’s angry, hurt, and acts out against everyone because its the only way she knows how to survive. We had an interesting conversation that addressed the root of Tangie’s behavior and it was an eye opening experience to say the least.

Hayden Christensen is at it again. The star of this month’s action flick Takers, has another film on the horizon that goes into darker territory. It’s called Vanishing on 7th Street and it’s a horror flick that features a lot of unnecessary yelling and bad editing to create suspense. The first trailer for the film has been released over on ShockTillYouDrop, but we’ve got the video for you right here. Take a look…
A week ago news broke that the multi-talented Tyler Perry would direct his first feature film that’s not based on his own work. Perry will adapt the 1975 stage play entitled, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf. It was originally written by Ntozake Shange, and features a series of monologues based on the colors of the rainbow. According to Latino Review Perry recently teased that the film will feature a “dream cast” of talent, which would include African American and Latina women.
Hayden Christensen has officially signed to star in writer/director Brad Anderson’s upcoming thriller Vanishing on Seventh Street according the THR. Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo are also currently in negotiations to join the project.
The biggest thrill about this film is that it’s not based on anything nor is it a remake! GASP! People can still do that?
***Update: You can check out an interview from Woody Harrelson Jesse Eisenberg, and Emma Stone promoting Zombieland, as well as director Roland Emmerich‘s views on his upcoming film 2012.
3:46: A fan asked Roland if the world did end in 2012, how would he want it to. He said that he hopes it doesn’t end. If we stopped having so many wars, we could start working on the planet.
3:43: A Spanish fan just asked Roland why he never destroyed Spain in any of his films. I think that was an attempt at humor but blah!
3:39: Roland wants to do a film adaptation of the sci-fi series, The Foundation from Isaac Asimov. He said he’s trying to get a script right now.
3:38: Holy Sh*t!!! For that to be 70 percent done it looked amazing!!! How much destruction can you put in one scene!!
