Boasting original music from Justin Timberlake, and a cast including Jason Sudeikis, Maisie Williams, and Jessica Biel, sometimes the moviemaking stars don’t align. Indeed, when “The Book Of Love” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this spring (under the title “The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea“) the response was pretty chilly (even our own review).

Review: Cirque Du Shit: ‘The Vampire’s Assistant’ Sucks

Rodrigo Perez — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:09:00 +0000

Vampires are all the rage these days. Between “True Blood” and the unstoppable “Twilight” franchise, it seems like everyone is rushing out to capitalize on the bloodsucker craze (is The CW’s hastily put together “Vampire Diaries” even on the air anymore?)

When Universal optioned “Cirque du Freak,” the first in a 10 book (!) series from Irish author Darren Shan, they must have thought they hit pay dirt. Not only would the film appeal to fans of vampires and horror movies, but with its teen-centric cast and fantasy elements, they probably thought they could tap into the “Harry Potter” market too.

Random Features: Actors Left On The Cutting Room Floor, Worst Critics Of The Year & The Great Lost Movies

Rodrigo Perez — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 16:27:00 +0000

– IFC.com has a great little feature about actors that were cast in films, but then left on the cutting room floor. They note 15 actors who were paid to show up to set everyday and act, but when screening time came, they were nowhere to be found. They note that Orlando Jones was originally in “Magnolia,” but his story was cut due to the long-ass running time, James Van Der Beek was excised from Todd Solondz’s “Storytelling,” Harold Ramis got the axe from “High Fidelity” and more recently, “Southland Tales” which originally had a small role for Janeane Garofalo, but it too got wiped out in editing.
