Henry 'Yes I Made Nightmare Before Christmas" Selick directs the story adapted from the Hugo Award-winning, internationally best-selling novel. Coraline is a spine-tingling tale about a curious girl who unlocks a mysterious door in her family's new home and enters into an adventure in a parallel reality. On the surface, this "Other World" eerily mimics her own life - though it is much more fantastical. In it, Coraline encounters different versions of her own life, including off-kilter neighbors and an Other Mother who attempts to keep her forever. Ultimately, Coraline must rely on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to get back home.


 
 

Hollywood studios appear to be abandoning Tuesday as the traditional release day for new DVDs, Video Business observed on its website Tuesday. The trade publication noted that Paramount, Sony and Anchor Bay Entertainment are all releasing new titles on different days in the fourth quarter. Paramount, in fact, plans to release three films on December 28, a Sunday. The films are Eagle Eye, Ghost Town, and The Duchess. Meanwhile Sony is releasing The House Bunny and Anchor Bay, Traitor, on December 19, a Friday. Video Business has noted that the non-Tuesday releases will likely encourage retailers to break the official street date since it will be difficult to police the movable dates. Tom Paine, owner of the DVD Now chain, told the publication, "Everyone will just have their own street date ... and if stores have their own dates, it will just be too chaotic."

What does this mean for your Movie Pressers out there? Well it mean's our DVD Column might shift around to a new day, but we will do everything we can to keep you in the loop.



 
 

Disney is converting its (mostly) hand-drawn animated classic Beauty and the Beast to 3-D digital, with plans to release it in 2010, studio executives disclosed Tuesday at a 3-D technology festival in Singapore. The studio plans to apply its proprietary digital 3-D technology to the original background, effects and character elements, much as it did to its newest release, Bolt, which premieres on Friday. The entire conversion process is expected to take about nine to ten months. The studio also intends to release 3-D versions of Toy Story 2 and 3 in 2010 as well as the all-new Disney/Pixar feature Rapunzel. Disney said today (Wednesday) that it will also release five movies in 3-D IMAX in 2009-2010, beginning with A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey, in November 2009.


 
 

Gossip Girl, The O.C., and Chuck fans unite! Josh Schwartz has been nabbed by 20th Century Fox to pen an X-Men: First Class screenplay. Schwartz was also offered the director's chair, but he declined, leaving the job open for now.

Word has it, all the younger kids introduced in the X-Men films will be headlining this one. Meaning Jubilee, Iceman, Colussus, and others. Anyone excited? Maybe they can re-cast Colussus as Benjamin Mckenzie, that Ryan Atwood did have a penchant for punching people in the face.

If cute-as-shittedness had a scale, Wall-E would be an 11. If there was a martial arts called Warm-Yur-Hart, Pixar would be 8th Dan black belts in it. Check out our pick of the week and all the other releases, from close seconds all the way down to dirty crap, and it's all right HERE.



 
 

Aaron Eckhart is attached to star in Battle: Los Angeles, a sci-fi actioner that Jonathan Liebesman is directing for Columbia.

The story, written by Chris Bertolini, revolves around a Marine platoon's encounter in the battle on the streets of Los Angeles against an alien invasion. Eckhart will play the platoon leader in the film, which has yet to set a start date.



 
 

Christopher McQuarrie has signed on for double duty with United Artists.

UA has brought in the Oscar-winning scribe to write and produce two high-profile projects: The Champions and The Monster of Florence.

Champions is derived from a late-'60s British television series about a group of government agents who encounter a hidden civilization that grants them superhuman talents. McQuarrie is hashing out the script with Guillermo del Toro, who will also produce the film but is not attached to direct.

Tom Cruise and former UA co-owner and CEO Paula Wagner also are producing.

Monster tells the strange-but-true tale of popular author Douglas Preston and Italian journalist Mario Spezi, who began investigating a series of unsolved murders in Italy and wound up implicated in the case. Two years ago, McQuarrie optioned the film rights to Preston and Spezi's ensuing best-seller along with producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen (American Beauty). Cruise may take one of the leads in Florence.



 
 

James Bond must have slept with Miss Topofthe BoxOffice, because he sure crushed the competition. It appears as though America much prefers Daniel Craig's bulldog face and hyper real violence to the prissy prancing of Pierce Brosnan in an invisible car zooming around a castle made of ice, as Quantum of Solace knocked Madagascar down a notch. Check out the rest of the Box Office Results HERE.
