Why Is Universal's 'Identity Thief' Trailer So Funny?

Despite snow storm Nemo wrecking havoc on the Northeast, Identity Thief still had a strong opening this weekend at the box office. While other movies didn’t fare so well.

 Funny woman Melissa McCarthy and the always lovable Jason Bateman  are comedic gold in their movie Identity Thief. The unique duo brought in an estimated $11.2 million on its opening night from 3,141 locations. If the flick stays on track, Universal Pictures is expecting $35 million in sales for the weekend, which would be the best opening yet in 2013. | Full Story

The new psychological thriller from Steven Soderbergh, Side Effects, stars Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The film follows Emily Taylor (Mara) as she copes with anxiety surrounding her husband’s (Tatum) release from prison. Her psychiatrist (Law) prescribes a new anti-depressant, only to discover it has horrifying and dangerous side effects. Based on the trailer it seems like something more disturbing is afoot than just a wonky new drug.

This is Rooney Mara‘s first big movie since she signed on to play Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy. | Full Story

A teaser poster for director Steven Soderbergh’s latest has gone online. Soderbergh has said that Side Effects will be his last theatrical film before a lengthy “sabbatical,” during which he’ll supposedly focus on painting. Let’s hope he changes his mind (he already has, since that sabbatical was originally planned as a complete retirement from filmmaking). The man’s been on an incredible winning streak since The Informant!. Or maybe it’s best for him to bow out at the top of his game. | Full Story

Side Effects Mara

Steven Soderbergh‘s upcoming film Side Effects released its first trailer today, promising audiences an all-too-familiar thriller involving pharmaceuticals, sex and scandal.

The famed director has been wowing audiences left and right for the past 15 years, gifting filmgoers with such titles as Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Ocean’s Eleven, and Contagion. Sure, there have been the occasional mistakes (The Informant!), the quirky films made for elitists (The Good German), and the just plain bad (The Girlfriend Experience), but Soderbergh has always found a charming way to earn back the trust of his fans (Magic Mike). | Full Story

steven soderbergh bails on MAN FROM UNCLE

Steven Soderbergh  and Warner Bros. have parted ways after a long, drawn-out casting process.  The Academy Award-winning filmmaker has decided to opt out and will no longer be directing “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.“, a project he and writer Scott Z. Burns have been developing since early 2010.  Recent talks between Soderbergh and WB execs this weekend have resulted in unresolved disputes over casting and budgets.

Warner Bros. introduced a $60 million dollar budget proposal for the first installment of what is supposed to be a franchise threequel.  Soderbergh argued the figure was insufficient for a ‘60s set period spy film that takes place on four continents, and decided he could no longer wait for the studio to refine numbers or set cast. | Full Story
