Sorority Row and 'Shutter' Shuttered

For all you FD4 fans out there, or in loyal reader Seth's case, FDs 1-4, I give you Hollywood's latest masterpiece, Sorority Row.

This slasher/horror film comes out next Wednesday. And yes, I expect it to be the No. 1 movie of the weekend (yes, even beating 9).

Here's your trailer:



I think White Out kind of looks interesting too. Would peep that if I wasn't so behind (still need to see GI Joe, Ingorious and the just released Extract).

-In shitty news, Shutter Island, Scorsese and Leo movie based in Boston was pushed back from an October release until February. Saaccckkks. I can't believe I have to wait this long. October was hard enough.

It also means that the movie won't contend for any Oscars this year. This, according to the NYT:

"Paramount has spent heavily already marketing its summer movie hits 'Star Trek,' 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' and didn't want to shell out another $100 million on advertising and prints this year, especially when it has two other releases -- 'The Lovely Bones' and 'Up in the Air' -- that it will also be pushing for Oscar consideration. The best picture category for the Oscars has been expanded to 10 starting next year, but apparently Paramount needs one that goes to 11.

"Still, the decision is not without risk. Scorsese was told earlier this week that this was being considered and if it ends up backfiring on the studio, it could strain the director's relationship and deal with Paramount Pictures and its chairman, Brad Grey."
