Ever After High Dolls

Ever After High gets a movie and series deal on Netflix

June 18, 2014By

Ever After High Dolls

Ever After High is a spinoff of those Monster High dolls, except they’re based on fairy tales instead of monsters. Like Monster High, they have a bajillion characters and complicated back stories, including a bunch of webisodes, tv specials, and a book series. And now they can add a movie and Netflix original series to their piles of content! As Monster High has many more films and webisodes, Ever After High has a ways to go to catch up. But I believe in Ever After High!

All the characters are kids of fairy tale characters, so you get people like Humphrey Dumpty, the son of Humpty Dumpty; Cedar Wood, the daughter of Pinocchio; Dexter Charming, the son of King Charming, the twin of Darling Charming, and younger brother to Daring Charming; and Kitty Cheshire, the daughter of the Cheshire Cat. There are even one or two characters from Monster High that have transferred into Ever After High, because crossover money, baby!

Ever After High has no affiliation with that upcoming Disney Channel movie Descendants which has children of Disney fairy tale characters in high school. It does show that high school is the future of fairy tales.

No word yet on if that rumored live-action Monster High musical film is actually going to get made. UPDATE: @rwmead has pointed out they confirmed a 2016 release date last month, so fingers crossed!

Zendaya IS Aaliyah on Lifetime!

June 16, 2014By

Stay with me folks, because I’m quoting a site called Necole Bitchie! It’s one of those celebrity gossip sites like Perez Hilton, except it isn’t Perez Hilton, so it’s automatically 10% better. But the gist of it is Zendaya will be playing Aaliyah in a biopic from Lifetime! This is amazing news in Lifetime biopic circles! If you aren’t familiar with Zendaya, she’s the singular-named Disney kid starring in the upcoming original movie Zapped, as well as a lead role on the series Shake It Up. This news has been confirmed by Indiewire and Lifetime thanks to the power of an emergency press release to get ahead of the internet news cycle:

Before Beyonce and before Rihanna, self-proclaimed “street but sweet” Aaliyah was poised to become a global icon with top-selling albums, a hot movie career and an adoring fan base. But behind the spotlight, Brooklyn-born, Detroit-raised Aaliyah Dana Haughton struggled to succeed in a tough business while staying grounded in the midst of her growing celebrity. The film follows the beautiful and talented performer’s inspirational journey, from her debut on “Star Search” at the age of ten to the challenges she faced during her rise to become the Princess of R&B. On August 25, 2001, at the height of her popularity, her life was tragically cut short when a plane carrying the singer and some of her video crew crashed after takeoff from a Bahamian runway. Although just 22-years-old at the time of her death, Aaliyah continues to lead a legacy as Billboard’s tenth most famous R&B artist of the past 25 years and one of the recording industry’s most successful artists in history.

The film will be based on the book Aaliyah: More Than a Woman by Christopher Farley, and currently has the working title Aaliyah: Princess of R&B. I really expect that to change, because, blech!

Lifetime is getting way into the dead singer biopic market, because they also got that Whitney Houston biopic in the works, even though certain relatives are trying to sue it out of existence! The movie is still going ahead with Yaya DaCosta now cast as Whitney Houston!

Hercules Reborn Asylum
InMovie News

Yes there is an Asylum Hercules!

June 11, 2014By


Everyone else is doing Hercules, so why not Asylum? Theirs is called Hercules Reborn, featuring an aged Hercules returning from banishment to be a hero again. It’s called keeping yourself busy while in retirement!

When a young man’s bride is kidnapped by an evil king, he turns to Hercules for help. The fallen hero has been living in exile, banished for killing his family, but the young man’s courage inspires Hercules. Together, they fight to rescue the bride and reclaim Hercules’ honor.

Hercules is played by WWE’s Johnny Nitro himself, John Morrison. Costarring Christian Oliver, James Duval, Christina Ulfsparre, and Dylan Vox. Hercules Reborn director Nick Lyon has helmed Bermuda Tentacles, 4Closed, Species 4, and Grendel. Writer Jim Hemphill has written and directed two prior films, including the horror film Bad Reputation. I’m not sure which Jose Montesinos is the cowriter, but I think it’s this one.

Hercules Reborn officially releases July 8th. It certainly won’t be the worst Hercules movie of the year!

Grumpy Cat Lifetime Christmas

Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever – a live-action Grumpy Cat movie on Lifetime!

June 11, 2014By

Grumpy Cat Lifetime Christmas

In deformed cats getting exploited by their owners news, Grumpy Cat will be getting a Lifetime Christmas movie where the cat will talk and other internet memes will stop on by for guest spots. Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever comes complete with a self-descriptive title, though the irony may be lost.

Grumpy Cat will talk, playing an ignored pet store pet (it couldn’t be a shelter pet, could it?) who talks to a 12-year-old girl. No one, not even Grumpy Cat’s voice, has been cast yet. Tim Hill and Jeff Morris will write the script for Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever. Hill previously did work on SpongeBob SquarePants and Action League Now!. So maybe the script won’t be that terrible. Maybe.

Lifetime is casting the voice of Grumpy for the live-action project, which will shoot this summer. The cable network said the movie, which (vp original movies Arturo) Interian describes as “a little Home Alone and a little Die Hard,” would also feature cameos from other famous Internet memes.

Grumpy Cat Die Hard. Right. Unless the other memes take the pet store hostage and Grumpy Cat murders them one by one, this sounds completely awful. Will Lil Bub show up? What about other deformed cats? Will a cat play a keyboard? Questions people will ask, that will only be answered this Christmas on Lifetime!

Thedeal was announced a year ago, though it’s obvious from the story the original intent was to get it to theaters. Lifetime has snatched it up, and is cementing itself as the leading source of schlocky exploitation film. Only Asylum is even close, and they’re one of Lifetime’s movie sources!

Expect more news on this as we approach the holidays, including trailers and stills and casting announcements and catnip possession scandals.
