Ice Cream Recall Ignored During Dairy Week Celebration

After a five-year absence from the HTG big screen, producer Mattricks of Slacker Mafia Films is returning this summer with his new comedy, Space Travel on a Budget.

Sheltered fifteen-year-old Albert Tanner (Kodi Smit-McPhee) tracks down his idol, reclusive science fiction novelist and disgraced rocket engineer Demetri Stanko (Bill Murray), with the hope that he can spend the summer learning under his guidance. He is instead drawn into an underground space race, complete with an eccentric philanthropist starman, a beautiful ageless extraterrestrial and a Dutch cult. However, the biggest obstacle of his summer might just be the girl who lives down the hall.

Directed by Sofia Coppola, the movie is scheduled for June 12. Advertising is expected soon on the HTG message board. PJ Flip, after his successful campaign for They Came From Planet Earth, has been hired for poster work.

Joining Smit-McPhee and Murray are Zooey Deschanel, Emma Watson, Naomi Rapace, Adrien Brody, TJ Miller, Gael Garcia Bernal and Aasif Mandvi.

"A full-length comedy by the unicorn killer himself? I'll be there!" exclaimed a local movie goer.

Space Travel on a Budget opens on June 12.

Tentatively scheduled for June, the fate of Decepticon Liberation Front's comedy Peak Evil is still unknown. The description so far of the movie is as follows:

In an evil world dominated by supervillians one not so evil scientist formulates a theory of peak evil. His theory posits that the world is approaching the maximum output rates of evil after which it will entire terminal decline and run out. He tries to warn the world at large about the impending disaster that could bring society itself crumbling down but is scorned and ignored. Taking it upon himself to do something about it, he becomes the first superhero in a generation.

A cast has not been mentioned for the movie yet, nor a director. Will we be seeing the release next month?

"That Teufel fella plays his cards pretty close to his chest," stated an industry insider this weekend. "But, with the success of The Warriors, he can pretty much do whatever he wants. I sure hope Peak Evil comes and comes soon. We'll see, I guess."

Shakespeare Play Cancelled, Waffle House Takes Up Former Theatre Space

Shannon Elizabeth did not receive a hickey during production of Miracle Pictures' Flying Saucer Movie, despite rumors floating around town.

The actress, who is making her first HTG appearance in the upcoming film, was spotted with a red mark on her neck. Jokes concerning the source of the mark turned to gossip, with varying results. Various people associated with MPFSM have reportedly given Elizabeth the alleged hickey, from actor Jason Mewes to producer Marlowe.

"I guess people have nothing better to talk about" explained Marlowe through a representative of Miracle Pictures.

According to someone close to Elizabeth, the actress merely had a small skin rash on the day in question.

Miracle Pictures' Flying Saucer Movie opens on May 22. It features characters from the View Askew Universe and is set in HTG Hollywood.

Knight to Queen's IN YOUR FACE!

Shooting for the upcoming film Chess Club got heated late last week, although initial production has gone smoothly. But things turned violent when a huge brawl erupted between several men and women.

According to witnesses, about a dozen people can been seen fighting. Security did their best to break up the melee, but things turned ugly very fast. At one point, a door is said to have been knocked off the hinges. No primary talent was involved in the fight, and it’s not clear what started the brawl. The film crew has also made no mention of the fight on social media pages, though something could easily be said by the end of shooting.

Chess Club centers around a group of 20-somethings (for the most part) and their quest to get their new organization ready for matches against a regional favorite. Producer Chris Harmer of Jade Falcon Productions last worked with Miracle Pictures in last year's Another Time to Die Hard.

Being in pre-production, no release date has een set.

After months of production to get things right, producer Teufel of Decepticon Liberation Front can relax. His latest film, The Warriors, is now in theatres. This reporter chatted with Teufel at a local eatery and asked if he was happy with the release.

"I sure am," the Washington native remarked. "My one regret is not casting Harmer in a cameo as the cop. He would have nailed it."

Chris Harmer, producer/actor, was last seen as the star of Miracle Pictures' The Chris Harmer Mysteries. A call to the MP offices were not answered. Will Harmer appear in another detective film soon from them? Rumors are that a sequel is in the works.

21CC's The Warriors, along with Flip Brothers' They Came From Planet Earth, are now in theatres.
