Twitter Now Promoting 'Paranormal' Piracy
Deadline.com — Hollywood already knows what a powerful marketing tool Twitter has become. But now Twitter subscribers are using that power to promote film piracy. Someone is promoting a web page that offers a full-length digital video of Paranormal Activity. Does Paramount Pictures know about this?

TOLDJA! About Who's Not Hosting Oscars
Deadline.com — October 29th, Variety: No Oscars For Jackman : "While speculation is running high on who’ll host the Oscarcast, it won’t be Hugh Jackman. Jackman, who’s currently starring on Broadway with Daniel Craig in the drama “A Steady Rain,” quietly turned down the job within the past several weeks, sources said." October 16th, Deadline Hollywood: Oscar Can't Always Gets What He Wants : "I'm told that AMPAS is about to check on the availability of Hugh Jackman to host for the 2nd year in a row. What an honor for the Aussie actor, who recently helped the show win the Emmy. But I've learned people around Jackman are going to privately recommend against him doing it twice. "He's a ...

H'wood Hardly Visits Obama White House
Deadline.com — clooney obama 2 The Obama administration did a Friday afternoon news dump of the names of 500 visitors to the White House spanning the time period from January 20 to July 31, 2009. And almost no one from Hollywood showed up to meet the president or his family or his aides. Weird, especially since so much of Hollywood was supporting the Obama campaign. But the list is not comprehensive, just a response to specific disclosure requests. So who stopped by? George Clooney who once visited Vice President Joe Biden; Denzel Washington, twice, as part of a group tour; and Oprah who came by twice -- once for a reception, and once to conduct an interview with Michelle Obama. Also, Jeff ...

Mel Gibson Sells UK Arm Of His Icon Group
Deadline.com — Gibson Davey Mel Gibson has always been better known as a movie star and film director than as a Hollywood mogul. Yet he has been at the head of LA-based Icon Group with partner Bruce Davey since 1989. Today they announced the sale of the UK operations of their film and entertainment business to the US-based industrial group, Access Industries. The deal includes Icon’s international sales company, the distribution operation based in the UK, and the Majestic Films & Television library.

Mr. Rogers: Gone But Not Forgotten

In addition, WQED, the PBS station in Pittsburgh that was the home of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, is renaming its studio after the kiddie show host. He was on the air at PBS for 40 years successfully entertaining children with no violence, little commercialism, and almost no special effects. Think about it.

Defensive Leno Goes On Offensive; He Phoned Affiliates "To Get Feedback"
Deadline.com — leno jay jerry It's well known that NBC affiliates are beginning to balk about this fall's "Leno effect" drain on their late news ratings. Stations in Miami, Los Angeles, and New York report losses ranging from 22% to 30% compared to last year. And with the Jay Leno Show eking out just a 1.5 or 1.6 rating after 5 weeks on the air, and losing to a week of repeats even though it's got fresh episodes 46 weeks out of the year, it's no surprise that defensive Leno is going on the offensive since he admits his numbers will get even worse during November sweeps. Jay told B&C ...

Peter Jackson's 'District 9' Crosses $200M; Sequel May Happen "At Some Point"
Deadline.com — The alien apartheid film likely to snag one of the newly expanded 10 Best Picture Oscar nominations did it in worldwide box office this weekend -- $115M domestic and $85M international so far (with China and Japan to come). And, remember, this indie prod's negative cost was only $30M.  By the way, not only does QED Intl have dibs on the franchise, but Sony has first opportunity to lock down the sequel for their territories. Which is why Sony is pushing for a District 9 sequel since the studio is lacking in fresh franchises. But those close to producer Peter Jackson and director Neill Blomkamp say only it may happen "at some point" when the duo "figure out what the story is ...

MPAA Urges FCC Protect Creative Content Online In National Broadband Plan
Deadline.com — Washington, D.C. – The Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) has urged the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to make the protection of creative content online a core and guiding principal of the National Broadband Plan. In a filing late Friday with the FCC, the MPAA wrote: “If the National Broadband Plan is to serve as a successful road map for ubiquitous broadband for all Americans, the government must recognize the vital role that high quality, high value content plays in driving adoption of new technologies. Compelling content is an essential ingredient in the consumer Internet experience and a key driver of broadband adoption. Inadequate respect for ...

So If 'This Is It' Is Such A Success, Why Can't Sony & AEG Reimburse L.A. Taxpayers For That $6 Mil Michael Jackson Tribute Cost?
Deadline.com — Michael Jackson's This Is It bounced back from a soft Saturday for a stronger Sunday up 18% to $8.3M and a weekend actual of $23.2M domestic. That's still underwhelming given all the pre-sales hype. But for the past 5 days, the companies behind the film have boasted nonstop to the media about how much money they have made now that the pic went over $101M worldwide. So, if both Sony and Anschutz Entertainment Group are taken at their word, then how about both companies stepping up to the plate and forking over that $6 million to reimburse L. A. taxpayers? The cash strapped City Of Los Angeles facing a $530 million budget deficit wound up stuck with the bill for the millions ...

TOLDJA! NBC Lets 'Southland' Go To TNT

People working on the show were told to prepare for good news on November 2nd. And they got it. One minute NBC was boasting about this sophomore cop show. The next the network was dumping it. And then NBC wouldn't let it go to TNT. For weeks now, TNT and NBC were negotiating moolah terms. "This behavior from NBC has been unbelievable and amazingly fucked-up -- even for them -- which is really saying something..." Anyway, that's all over. Barry Meyer did a solid for John Wells so TNT has ...

Adrian Pasdar Let Go From NBC's 'Heroes'
Deadline.com — So I watched this show its first season, loved it, and then never watched again. (My inner geek was satiated.) Still, Adrian Pasdar's forced exit is surprising unless flying is no longer considered a cool enough capability. More likely is that the show keeps suffering lousy ratings because it never recovered from being interrupted during the writers strike. (Poor Tim Kring was collateral damage as well as his Heroes sequel.) Here are all the superheroes who've been axed from the series since Day One: Season 1 -- Tawny Cypress, Santiago Cabrera; Season 2 -- Noah Gray-Cabey, Dana Davis, Kristen Bell, Leonard Roberts; Season 3 -- Dania Ramirez. Given the failure of NBC ...

Comcast & GE Pact Not To Have NBCU Talks With Anybody Else For Week Beginning Yesterday; Financials "A Done Deal"; All That Remains Are "Complex Structural Issues"; Universal "Of More Interest" To Comcast Than NBC Network Which "Loses A Huge Amount Of Mon
Deadline.com — I've got some more detail on Comcast-GE-NBC. The 290-page "Project Crimson", which has been the deal's code name from the beginning, was delivered to legal departments yesterday. All sides agreed Friday to the transaction's financials after the rough framework was okayed a month ago. Barring some last-minute holdup from Vivendi regarding the sale of its 20% NBCU stake, "It's a done deal", an insider tells me. "Nothing has been signed yet. But it's quite close. There's still lots of really complicated structural issues -- tax and indemnity shit. But not fundamental deal issues." Another step forward is that Comcast just got GE to agree there wouldn't be any conversations with ...
