Weekly Ketchup: Star Wars Spinoff Films Confirmed (65 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Feb. 08 2013, 05:40 PM

This week saw the movie development scene rewarded with a plague of blessings. The start of the Berlinale, one of the major film markets, provided lots of smaller announcements that would have normally made the "top ten" cut. However, they were mostly drowned out by bigger franchise stories, many of them thanks to Disney's various fanboy-friendly subsidiaries. Like the Hulk (or really, superheroes in general), animated movies, and Star Wars? This was the week for you.

Weekly Ketchup: Jurassic Park Set to Reopen in Summer of 2014 (47 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Jan. 18 2013, 04:45 PM

This week's Ketchup covered a seven day period in which Hollywood recovered from weeks of almost zero activity with enough newsworthy movie development announcements for two of these columns. Indeed, this writer expects some omissions to be pointed out by commenters, but hey, there's only ten slots available each week. The stories that did make the cut include high profile sequels (Jurassic Park IV, Pirates of the Caribbean 5), a much lower profile sequel (Hot Tub Time Machine 2), remakes (Ben-Hur and possibly Gremlins), and the inevitable Lance Armstrong biopic.

Weekly Ketchup: Oscar Nominations Reveal Snubs and Controversy (51 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Jan. 11 2013, 04:20 PM

This week's Ketchup actually represents a full three weeks since the last true Weekly Ketchup was published on December 21, 2012. Even so, most of these stories actually did happen in the last seven days, because the period before and after Christmas and New Year's is a time when Hollywood is basically a ghost town as far as movie development goes. Included in the mix are stories involving Tina Fey, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Brad Pitt, and directors Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and Robert Rodriguez.

Yearly Ketchup: The Freshest Stories of 2012 (41 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Jan. 04 2013, 04:09 PM

The Yearly Ketchup continues on from last week's review of the 12 most "Rotten Ideas" with twelve of the year's top stories, most of which were classified under the "Fresh Developments" banner. There's a little bit of everything here, as long as your definition of "everything" is limited mostly to superheroes, Star Trek, Tolkien, and Star Wars.

Yearly Ketchup: The Most Rotten Stories of 2012 (51 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Saturday, Dec. 29 2012, 10:20 AM

Few industries enjoy taking really, really, really long extended holiday vacations like Hollywood. So when we get to this time of the year, there's really not much in the realm of "movie development news" to discuss, especially not in a weekly column which normally includes 10 different stories. So, this week and next, we're instead going to review 12 of the year's best stories, presented to you in monthly chronology. These twelve stories include six remakes (like Evil Dead, Ninja Turtles, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?), three sequels (Alice in Wonderland 2, Casablanca 2, Scary Movie 5), two toy adaptations (Candy Land and Tonka), and one lame spoof (The Starving Games).

Weekly Ketchup: Vin Diesel to Star in Big Screen Version of Kojak (26 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Dec. 21 2012, 02:34 PM

The last full week of 2012 was another sort of slow week in the world of movie development news. Things, however, will really slow down to a crawl until January (and indeed, the next two Fridays will see this column become the "Yearly Ketchup"). The last news items of 2012 included two movies based on 1970s TV shows (Kojak and Gaiking), two sequels (the next Muppets, and The Expendables 3), a spinoff of Cars called Planes, and a biopic about the early career of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
