Everything sells, if you know how to convince the public to dig deep into their wallets and purses. In these economically-challenged times when we should be saving not spending, the clamour for must-have goods – or goods we’ve been told are must-have – is as strong as ever. The Joneses is a timely satire about consumerism run rampant and the catastrophe that awaits a credit-driven society determined to buy now and pay later – much, much later.
After one weekend the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake has made more than $30 million, and, like an inevitable storm of inevitability, a sequel is already being planned in… yes, you guessed it… 3D.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has had its budget cut! Pirates 4 will be made for a completely pathetic $200 million, rather than the juicy $300 million the last film, At World’s End, had to play with. Disney’s new chairman Rich Ross “wants to be mean and lean and cost effective,” according to Pirates 4 producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

They spend millions producing top notch blockbuster films, paying big Hollywood stars huge salaries to star in their movies and creating the most impressive CGI effects, all to get us through the door and part with our cash. However, despite all this, we here at Best for Film (just like a MasterCard advert) like nothing more than to pedantically pick out all their mistakes. Priceless! So here is our collection of the best and worst outtakes and bloopers and mistakes in movies.
Good Lord, we have so much to learn from this man. Playboy tycoon and serial robe-wearer Hugh Hefner has saved the iconic Hollywood sign from property developers by donating $800,000 to the cause.
Whether the news makes you want to rejoice or reach for the scotch, it looks like Anchorman 2 is becoming an unstoppable force – with most of the original cast ready to jump back aboard.
Horror fans rejoice and praise whatever god you believe in – Paramount Pictures are making a new The Ring movie! And just like every new movie that will ever be made ever, it’s going to be in 3D.
No, really. Paramount have managed to secure the rights to funny-man Cohen’s new project by giving him two goats; one delivered to his LA home, and one to his Beverly Hills offices.
