Amy Winehouse not ready for Bond after allMay 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 am

No, Amy is not doing that James Bond theme as rumored earlier after all. It is true, she and her producer Mark Ronson were working on it, but Ronson now states it would take ’some miracle of science’ to complete the song. I’d say Amy Winehouse knows all about those ‘miracles of science,’ but that might just be me.
When the news broke last week, Ronson was already cautious by saying an Amy Winehouse Bond theme was just speculation. And now he adds the rehab singer is ‘not ready to record any music.’ Is she ever?
The score for ‘Quantum of Solace’ will be composed by David Arnold, who also did the score for ‘Casino Royale’ and the three Bonds before that. The first official glimpse of ‘Quantum of Solace’ will be given by a trailer at the release of Sony’s ‘Hancock,’ July 2.
‘Prom Night’ does a scary $22.7 millionApril 13th, 2008 at 8:00 pm

I guess not screening ‘Prom Night’ for the critics worked out pretty good for Sony Pictures. Even beating the high expectations of $22 million, the horror ‘Prom Night’ made an estimated $22.7 million in its first weekend.
In second, came ‘Street Kings’ with Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker, making a decent $12 million. While Miramax’s ‘Smart People‘ made the 7th place with $4.2 million, higher than the expected $3 million.
‘Prom Night’ will do $20 million without criticsApril 11th, 2008 at 3:15 pm

While ‘Leatherheads’ didn’t have a great start last week due to poor reviews, ‘Prom Night’ is expected to become this weekend’s number 1 without help of the critics. Sony Pictures’ horror is expected to do between $18 and $22 million this weekend, covering its production costs within the first couple of days.
Without big supporting actors, places like MTV were used to promote the teen movie. TRL hold a ‘Prom Week’, while several radio stations held a ‘Pimp Your Prom’ contest. Sending out celebrity DJs to schools to play some tunes. And like similar horrors the company produced, Sony is again using a slow weekend for less competition.
