Everyone’s favorite creaky-boned actor, Christopher Lloyd, is coming to your television! Maybe!!

Lloyd has joined the pilot for Only Fools and Horses. Based on a British comedy, this remake stars John Lequizamo and Dustin YBarra as two streetsmart brothers who, with the help of their grandfather (Christopher Lloyd), put together crazy and shady get-rich-quick schemes.

It’s about time that Christopher Lloyd did something that showcases his Latino roots. (Deadline)

9 Scary-Ass Movie Clowns

Wookie Johnson — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:38:54 +0000

There’s no better time than Halloween to watch horror films. And the under-appreciated sub-genre in horror, the scary clown film, should not be overlooked when looking for a fright. They’re not all just big shoes and bike horns. Some are maniacal killers eager to rip their victims open. Others are psycho killers, ghosts, or demons who know an ironically scary look when they see it. They’re like the hipsters of the horror world.

I’ve never understood why anyone would be afraid of a clown, but I am sure that the clowns on this list aren’t helping matters.

The Violator - Spawn

As one of the most over-the-top villains in comic books, Spawn’s evil clown The Violator is the devil‘s right-hand demon. Something was lost in the movie translation, however, leaving John Leguizamo to try and carry the entire film with his performance. Alas, there is only so much one actor can do. Danny Devito really dodged a bullet here.

SCARY BECAUSE: The clown transforms into a heart-eating monster.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space

The first in a planned series of films, Killer Klowns From Outer Space tells the story of a sleepy little town suddenly overrun by alien blood-drinking clowns. There’s something for everyone in this film. Horror, comedy, gore, and a gigantic Queen clown. How have there not been eleven sequels yet?

SCARY BECAUSE: Could happen.

Don’t Panic: Everyone’s Back For ‘Ice Age 4′

I know you’ve been worried about whether Ray Romano and Queen Latifah will return for the next Ice Age movie. You can stop refreshing the Screen Junkies home page because… *drum roll*… yes, they will be. Time to take a deep breathe, I have to keep reminding myself.

Fox’s $2 billion dollar grossing Ice Age series is coming out with a fourth installment, Continental Drift, a “high seas” adventure. More returning cast members that have been thawed out include Denis Leary, Josh Peck, Seann William Scott and John Leguizamo.

New warm-blooded additions to the cast include Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lopez, Wanda Sykes, Keke Palmer, Drake and Aziz Ansari. Though I admit Ansari will probably be a great voice actor, I will not pay $38 to see another Ice Age movie in 3D. I’d rather just watch”Parks and Recreation” with my eyes closed and pretend his character’s a squirrel or something.

Continental Drift lazily drifts into theaters July 13, 2012. (Hollywood Reporter)

Apocalyptic ‘Vanishing on 7th Street’ Trailer Makes Detroit Look Like…Detroit

There’s a new trailer for Vanishing on 7th Street, staring Hayden Christensen and John Leguizamo. And from the looks of it, there’s a reason director Brad Anderson chose to shoot in Detroit.

An unexplained blackout plunges the city of Detroit into total darkness, and by the time the sun rises, only a few people remain — surrounded by heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows.

Yeah, that description pretty much sums it up. It’s basically the real story of Detroit told in one night instead of over decades, and with a blackout instead of a rusting auto industry. Watch the trailer above and see for yourself. (Collider)
