Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Elisabeth Shue in Piranha 3-D, Less Than Zero Sequel, American Pie: Book of Love
I didn’t get around to posting a Weekend Wrap-Up last Sunday, so this installment will collect two weeks’ worth of leftover news stories. Some of the biggest discussions over the past week focused on the Observe and Report controversy and Billy Bob Thornton’s on-air hissyfit, but some intriguing new projects from Errol Morris and Sofia Coppola were also announced. Elsewhere, we heard some casting news for the remakes of Piranha and Clash of the Titans, plus yet another American Pie direct-to-DVD sequel. Hey, Eugene Levy’s gotta get a paycheck from somewhere!
