According to Mike Epps, the actor/comedian set to star as Pryor in the untitled biopic says a dispute between Pryor's first and second wives over his assets caused preproduction of the film to come to a standstill.
Said Epps to MTV Movie News: "It just didn't fly right [with me]," he said. "And I'm glad it didn't. Whenever you want to do a story about someone and don't want to involve their kids, that ain't right. I don't care how good the script was, how true to [life] it was, if you gonna do a movie about someone and the kids were there, you got to make mention of them and let them participate. 'Cause if you don't, that's going too much against the grain."
The Pryor film is scheduled to begin filming sometime next year, but in the meantime Epps will join the cast of "Resident Evil" for the third installment of the series and star in a reality-based gambling film called "The Grand."
Ice Cube has allegedly been in talks with Epps for a possible role in the remake of "Welcome Back, Kotter." Reports MTV Movie News.
MTV reports that Epps is confident the newest script is an accurate portrayal of Pryor's life, and largely based on a memoir written by Pryor's daughter Rain. The new script is coming from the perspective and eyes of Pryor's daughters, Rain and Elizabeth.
Variety reported that writer, director and actress Kasi Lemmons, currently posting "Talk to Me" has now signed on to direct the project. Kasi played fellow FBI in training Ardelia with Jodie Foster as Clarice in 'Silence of the Lambs."

World Trade Center released
It's a true story which happened on 11th September 2002. In the aftermath of the World Trade Center disaster, hope is still alive. Refusing to bow down to terrorism, rescuers and family of the victims press forward.
Their mission of rescue and recovery is driven by the faith that under each piece of rubble, a co-worker, a friend a family member may be found. This is the true story of John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, the last two survivors extracted from Ground Zero and the rescuers who never gave up.
It's a story of the true heroes of that fateful time in the history of the United States when buildings would fall and heroes would rise, literally from the ashes to inspire the entire human race.

A Rare Condition Leads to a New Definition of Gender Bending
Androgyny rules in “Zerophilia,” Martin Curland’s audacious feature about a fictional chromosomal abnormality that wreaks havoc with one’s genitals. When the virginal Luke (Taylor Handley) is energetically deflowered by a mysterious Englishwoman he encounters while camping, the incident triggers a dormant condition known as zerophilia, which causes sufferers — if that’s the word — to spontaneously change their sex. Thereafter, every orgasm comes with a price, and it’s not one you can charge to your credit card.
A novel teenage comedy with an astute understanding of adolescent sexual confusion and the nebulous nature of desire, “Zerophilia” suggests an elastic view of gender that’s alternately gleeful and terrifying. As Luke sprouts breasts during a romantic dinner with a date (Rebecca Mozo), then awakes after a night of passion to discover he has morphed into a curvaceous female (Marieh Delfino), the movie balances nightmare and fantasy with cool agility. Helped by assured performances from his mostly young cast — particularly Dustin Seavey and Alison Folland as Luke’s closest friends — Mr. Curland fashions his bizarre material into a surprisingly subtle exploration of identity and anxiety.
If your movie news facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important movie news information slip by you.
Slow to get going, but worth the wait, “Zerophilia” is ultimately less about sex than about the rewards of friendship. “Being a woman doesn’t make you any less of a man,” says one of Luke’s friends, encouragingly. It’s a line Dietrich would have been thrilled to utter.
Written and directed by Martin Curland; director of photography, Graham Futerfas; edited by John Randle; music by Kevin McDaniels; production designer, Kenn Coplan; produced by Jay Whitney Brown, Mr. Curland, Alan Grossbard, Gregory J. Lanesey and Matt Radecki; released by Microangelo Entertainment. At the Village East, Second Avenue at 12th Street, East Village. Running time: 90 minutes. This film is not rated.
Now you can be a confident expert on movie news. OK, maybe not an expert. But you should have something to bring to the table next time you join a discussion on movie news.

Actor/Comedian Tim Allen Ties the Knot
LOS ANGELES — Tim Allen tied the knot with his girlfriend of five years, actress Jane Hadjuk, in an intimate Colorado ceremony, his spokeswoman said Monday.
The couple's family were the only guests at the private affair, held Saturday in Grand Lake, Colorado, said Allen's publicist, Marleah Leslie. Allen's 17-year-old daughter, Katherine Dick, was among the attendees.
It is the first marriage for Hadjuk, 39, and the second for Allen, 53. He was previously married to Laura Deibel.

superman
This article explains a few things about movie news, and if you're interested, then this is worth reading, because you can never tell what you don't know.
If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole movie news story from informed sources.
The Superman myth is well told, from his birth on the doomed planet Krypton to his childhood in a small Kansas town and beyond, in Richard Donner's blockbuster. After he comes of age, young Clark Kent, as his Earth parents have named him, learns the truth of his alien birth on a voyage of discovery to the Arctic where he builds his "Fortress of Solitude".
It is there that he learns--through a link to his long-dead birth father--of his superhuman abilities and his responsibility to preserve and protect "truth, justice and the American Way." Once he adjusts to life in the big city, Metropolis, he discovers that hiding his superpowers as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) isn't easy as he flirts with hard-nosed Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and battles supervillain Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).
The film's all-star cast includes Jackie Cooper, Marlon Brando, Ned Beatty, Glenn Ford, Terence Stamp, and Valerie Perrine, among others, all camping it up wonderfully.Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Music, Best Sound and Best Editing.Academy Awards: 1, Special Achievement Award for the groundbreaking special effects.
So now you know a little bit about movie news. Even if you don't know everything, you've done something worthwhile: you've expanded your knowledge.

latest movie news
This interesting article addresses some of the key issues regarding movie news. A careful reading of this material could make a big difference in how you think about movie news.
Scream 4 is pretty much a done deal according to Icons Of Fright. Read on for the blockbuster news which comes straight from the mouth of Wes Craven.
Icons Of Fright Reports...
Big news for "Scream" fans from Wes Craven. During his panel discussion Craven revealed that he had recently had breakfast with Neve Campbell. He told us that she had recently spoken with the Weinsteins about coming back for "Scream 4". Wes made it clear that this was the first he'd heard about it, but Campbell seemed to be seriously considering another stab at Sidney Prescott.
Most of this information comes straight from the movie news pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you'll know what they know.
My 2 cents on Scream
Back in 2000, when the third film was released, and I saw it, I felt things had been brought to a satisfactory conclusion as far as the "Scream" universe goes, despite the ominous ending. Now here we are 4 years later, and the rumor of a 4th movie still lives, and now with this latest lump of coal added to the fire, seems to have gained steam. Truthfully, I would pay to see a 4th film, but still alot of questions remain... We know Williamson won't be involved. Craven most likely won't be. Who will write and direct then? Neve Campbell has been a long time hold out for doing a 4th film if you believe what you read on most of the "Scream 4" rumor sites. Just who will and won't be returning? and finally, what direction can this story continue in? Sids already disposed of Mrs Loomis, and her Brother Roman, as well as Billy and Stu, whos left at this point? Sure there are plenty of relatives out for revenge type scenarios, but which one makes the most sense?
Now might be a good time to write down the main points covered above. The act of putting it down on paper will help you remember what's important about movie news.

As more participants in the scam are revealed, soon no one knows who is playing whom which results in an explosive and unexpected finale, which ultimately reveals the true players.

Gridiron Gang (2006)
Hopefully the brief description presented will help you understand about this movie before you watch it. The synopsis as following:
Juvenile detention camp probation officer Sean Porter, along with another officer, Malcolm Moore, turns a group of hardcore teenage felons into a high school football team in four weeks. Confronted with gang rivalries and bitter hatred between his teammates, Porter teaches some hard lessons--and learns a few himself--as the kids gain a sense of self-respect and responsibility.
In a world where 75 percent of these juvenile inmates return to prison or meet with violent ends on the streets, Porter and Moore face seemingly insurmountable barriers. No one wants to compete against convicted criminals, but through relentless pursuit and a jolt of inspiration, Porter and his team fight their way to redemption and a second chance.

New released movie, The Protector
Kham's life is turned upside down when an international mafia syndicate, based in Australia, captures his two beloved elephants and smuggles them thousands of kilometers away to Sydney. The two elephants are far more than mere animals to Kham and his father; they are part of his family and were being prepared to be presented as a token of devotion to his Majesty the King of Thailand.
The only way Kham can possibly save the animals is by venturing into a foreign land for the first time. Taking on a mafia group to rescue two elephants from a foreign country presents a huge challenge, even for a martial arts master like Kham. Despite the help of Sergeant Mark, a Thai police Sergeant based in Australia, and Pla, a Thai girl forced into modern day slavery, the going gets tough.
They must take on the ruthless gang of Madame Rose, whose henchmen include Johnny, a Vietnamese thief and martial arts expert, and the hulking TK. Kham has no choice but to risk his own life for the animals he loves.
