"THE LION KING 3-D" REIGNS OVER BOX OFFICE


Still from The Lion King
Family always comes first and that would be the case at the Box Office this weekend as Disney's The Lion King 3-D reigns supreme with $29.2 million earned from 2,330 theatres.

Former Champion Contagion by Stephen Soderbergh slips to second this weekend with $14.4 million after landing on-top last week.

Debuting in third is early Best Picture contender Drive starring Ryan Gosling, with $11 million for Lionsgate/Alliance Films, opening in 2,886 theatres. It currently stands at a stellar 93% on Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes.

Disney's The Help also is still going strong in fourth spot this weekend in its sixth week of release with $6.4 million this weekend, just ahead of the Remake of Thriller Straw Dogs in fifth spot, starring James Marsden and Kate Bosworth.

I Don't Know How She Does It starring Sarah Jessica Parker opens in sixth spot this weekend with $4.5 million and poor reviews at 20% on the Tomatometer.

The excellent Warrior is in eighth spot with $2.7 million in its second week for Lionsgate/Alliance Films, which is a pity.  Hopefully it will see strong numbers overseas.

JAMES MARSDEN IN SEPTEMBER 2011 ISSUE OF "GQ"


James Marsden in September 2011 issue of GQ
The incredibly attractive James Marsden really steps-it-up in the September issue of GQ Magazine, sitting down to chat with Devin Gordon, with Photos by Nathaniel Goldberg. Marsden who stars in the upcoming Remake of Straw Dogs - which by the way looks pretty terrifying - tells Gordon, "There's plenty of people out there who will say this movie did not need to be remade". He then draws a comparison to Classical Music, saying "But there are plenty of symphonies out there playing Mozart, you know?".

Marsden looks amaze in a selection of Tweed Suits. Click here to see more Photos from the Shoot.

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR "STRAW DOGS"


Still from Straw Dogs
This actually looks pretty terrifying! Sony Pictures is set to release a Remake of the 1971 Film Straw Dogs starring Dustin Hoffman originally. The Story based on the Novel The Siege of Trencher's Farm, is about a Couple, Amy (Kate Bosworth) and David (James Marsden) who relocate down south where soon they find that tensions amount as they clash with some Locals including Charlie (Alexander Skarsgård). Rod Lurie who directed one of my favourite Films of 2008, Nothing but the Truth starring Kate Beckinsale, produces, writes and directs this one.

I really am a Fan of the Horror flick The Strangers, also from 2008, starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman where a Couple are held captive in their homes and terrorized and see some similarities here in themes and mood, although the violence looks amplified here.

Sony Pictures releases Straw Dogs on September 16, 2011.

See the Trailer below:
