Did Mad Males cause Darabont to exit Walking Dead?

We all know Mad Men's Don Draper could be a little of the bad boy, but did he really cause Frank Darabont to depart The Walking Dead?This is the claim produced by the La Occasions, which cites a brand new $10m-a-season contract AMC brokered with Mad Males creator Matthew Weiner as the reason for Darabont's departure.Based on the newspaper, the Mad Males deal created a shortfall in funding for other high-profile AMC shows, such as the Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.The Walking Dead apparently had $250,000 per episode cut from the second season budget and also, since AMC is the owner of the show (unlike Breaking Bad, the industry The new sony property) there could have been no room for settlement.AMC Leader Charlie Collier refused the a couple of things were connected."We are trading a lot more than we have ever have before. The truth that future seasons of Mad Males would be costly isn't a surprise to us. We have taken probably the most costly, riskiest shows around and nurtured them and handled to develop our network," Collier stated.

Fraser Leads Escape From Planet Earth

He's part of the new 'toon.... Despite the fact that their last stab at animation with fairytale sequel Hoodwinked Too didn't exactly see money rolling into the company coffers, the Weinstein Company isn't letting that discourage their efforts to compete with the likes of Pixar and DreamWorks, announcing the latest title in their arsenal as Escape from Planet Earth. And they've grabbed up a celebrity cast in the shape of Brendan Fraser, Rob Corddry, Sarah Jessica Parker and more. We're introduced to the planet Baab, where dwells a race of blue-skinned aliens (let's hope they're not trying to catch on to the Avatar bandwagon a few years late, shall we?) The hero of the planet is astronaut Scorch Supernova (Fraser) a daring, square-jawed type who specialises in dangerous rescues and assorted spectacular feats with the help of quieter, nerdier brother Gary (Corddry). But then their boss as BASA, Lena (Jessica Alba) informs them there's an SOS being transmitted from a dangerous other world (you can guess where from the title), Scorch heads off once more, against Gary's better advice, and ends up caught in a trap set by Shanker (James Gandolfini). Now it's Gary's turn to step up and be the hero for once, looking to save everyone including wife Kira (Parker). Yup, sounds like The Kids Today are in for another message about believing in yourself, all wrapped up in 3D eye candy. But the co-writer/director is Cal Brunker, who has worked on the likes of Despicable Me and Horton Hears a Who, so we have a little more hope. Still, the time to judge will be when this one lands in cinemas either next year or in 2013...

Joe + Belle

Produced by Veronica Kedar, Amir Fishman. Directed by Veronica Kedar. Screenplay, Kedar, Stav Davis.With: Sivan Levy, Veronica Kedar, Romi Aboulafia, Yotam Ishay, Irit Gidron, Ra'anan Hefetz. (Hebrew, English, French dialogue)The harder that "Joe + Belle" tries to exert its hipness as a black comedy about two young lesbians accidentally killing people and eluding the law, the greater the strain shows. Israeli director, co-writer and co-star Veronica Kedar tends not to notice when her film's antics are becoming annoying, and displays little aptitude for comic timing. Feeling long at even 80 minutes' running time, pic's local July 31 release will draw little attention despite its uniqueness on the Israeli cinema scene. Fest run will be mild. Joe (Kedar) arrives in Tel Aviv from Bangkok for no particular reason, especially given how she says she doesn't care for the country. She soon encounters Belle (Sivan Levy, overdoing it), just released from a psychiatric hospital and already running away from her mom. Their unlikely courtship, which is never convincingly portrayed by the actors, includes shooting Joe's ex-b.f. Matan (Yotam Ishay) and dumping his body. The chase ensues to Eilat, climaxing with a wan music contest in a bar. Pic's design elements attempt a retro look, but this plus a few political dollops are merely irrelevant bits of business.Camera (color, B&W, HD), Ron Haimov; editor, Daniel Keysary; music, Daphna Keenan; production designer, Marina Gorevich; costume designer, Ofri Barel. Reviewed on DVD, Los Angeles, July 14, 2011. (In Outfest.) Running time: 80 MIN. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

This Holiday Season, Will Your Kids Subject You to Singing Chipmunks or Singing Penguins?

Munk yourself! Better yet: munk your whole family, because the new trailer for Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked not only employs the phrase “Munk Yourself,” but wants to treat your darling sons and daughters to the chipmunk-equivalent of Boat Trip. If Dave Seville’s furor isn’t in your family’s budget, however, maybe you’ll want to check out Happy Feet Two, which samples Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack” in a sultry penguin dance-off. Whatever you decide to do this holiday season, know one thing: both you and your kids are at the mercy of vulgar, singing cartoon animals. First, here’s the trailer for Chipwrecked, which combines the high-seas debauchery of The African Queen with the unbearable nuisance of real chipmunks. Perks: · Trenchant Titanic reference · Chipmunk rapping · Jason Lee’s tortured, cartoonish exasperation. · “Bad Romance” as interpreted by rodents Looking good so far. Let’s see what Happy Feet Two offers. Perks: · Trenchant LL Cool J reference · The worrisome come-on, “We’re bringing fluffy back.” · The questionable voice-acting of Pink · Robin Williams yelling, “Mamacita” in a Spanish accent like it’s 1981. Which is more tolerable? Depends on your taste in cassette tapes you threw out as a preteen. Chipwrecked comes out Dec. 16 (in time for Oscar consideration), and Happy Feet Two arrives on Nov. 18. Head over to Apple to watch Alvin and his chipmunk friends in HD.
