With Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno being shown at the Toronto Film Festival, focus has now shifted on Smith’s reported new movie, which is in the horror genre.

The movie, called Red State, is about a group of people who encounter fundamentalists “in the heart of the country.” Smith said that he hopes to be able to make the movie but he is still looking for funding for it. He said the movie is not commercial and this will really make it hard to find the funding that is needed. He hopes to be able to make the movie for about $5 million and wants a cast of unknowns.

Prepare for a new Ghostbusters movie.

According to different media sources a new Ghostbusters film is being developed by Columbia Pictures. This is not going to be a reboot though, but a sequel to the original movies. The script is reportedly already being developed. What’s bugging Ghostbusters fans is whether the original cast of Billy Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson will be back.

Rumors are abuzz that director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire has signed on to work on Spider-man 4 and Spider-man 5. The plan is that the movies will be shot using a script by James Vanderbilt, which is going to span two films. The first of the two movies is reportedly slated to be released on 2011.

There are no news about Kirsten Dunst but Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson character will be featured in the movies. There are no reports though of recasting for the role.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could appear again on the big screen.

TMNT co-creater Kevin Eastman has confirmed that Warner Bros. is pursuing making a live action movie on the characters. The CGI movie that was released a couple of years ago did well in the box office but the current belief is that a live action movie is a better candidate for re-inventing the Turtles to a newer audience. The idea is to reintroduce the characters and re-tell even their origin stories.

We’ll keep you posted as this story develops.

The Dark Knight may have broken its last record this week. The highly successful movie has surpassed the $500 million mark in the US box office this weekend. Its total take domestically now stands at $502.4 million. Titanic, which still holds the top spot, has a domestic haul of $600.8 million.

TDK is only the second movie after Titanic to break the 500 million mark and now has the record for the fastest to reach that mark by doing it in 45 days, compared to Titanic, which reached it in 98 days. Another piece of interesting information is that Titanic reached the 600 million mark in 252 days. This means that if TDK could actually last that long, it has a big chance of beating Titanic.

Four years after The Chronicles of Riddick, details about a new Riddick movie are finally coming out.

In an interview, Vin Diesel revealed that the possibility of getting two sequels to Riddick is there. He said that David Twohy is already writing the script for the two movies and they are considering doing the Lord of The Rings route and filming both at the same time.

Of course, that’s a method of actually saving up on funds. The possibility of getting the sequels done had been quite low because TCoR was not well received and only made $115 million out of a $100 million budget. I love the two Riddick movies though and I really hope that the other two sequels will be made.

It’s been reported that actor Shia LaBeouf is now back on the set of the Transformers sequel.

If the picture above is any indication, LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky character is in for a world of hurt. There are talks that the injury he sustained in his car accident more than a month ago will be written into the movie so that the production of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, will not get delayed.

Great news! The new Bond movie will be released earlier than expected. The movie “Quantum of Solace” will hit theaters on November 14.

Critics are slamming “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2″ for its implausible plot. But come on, it’s a chick flick. And, a chick flick for teens. A great majority of the people who’ll flock to the theaters think Miley Cyrus is the best thing that happened to music, and doodle their crush’s name on the margins of their History notebooks.

The movie plays right into the teen’s world, with its fantasies, fears, and generally sunny view of life. Of course the plot’s implausible. But do you really want a 15 year old to be as cynical as the rest of us? Give them their childhood, for goodness sake, including movies that are slightly sugarcoated. They’ll have plenty of time to grow up and face reality — both on and off the screen.

Think “Revenge of the Nerds” but with bigger boobs. “House Bunny” is the story of a centerfold wanna be who gets kicked out of the Playboy Mansion and then goes out and saves the fate of the Zeta Alpha Zeta — social losers who (stereotypically) dress in plaid and act like absolute idiots around men.

You have, of course, the “Mean Girls” rip-off — Phi Iota Mu — who want to steal the nerds’ home. And the smart-but-nerdy guy who eventually wins the centerfold’s heart. Whole thing seems to be a mish-mash of “Hottie and Nottie” and “Legally Blonde” and “Clueless.” But without the lovable charm of Alicia Silverstone or Reese Witherspoon, and the natural entertainment value of Paris Hilton.
