Worst Movie EVER! Can Now Be Yours Online For $5

Today in Worst Movie EVER! news: The infamous $11 mockbuster has a new Web site where you can download the movie for the low, low price of $5. Yes, $5. We might double this thing’s gross by lunchtime! But wait, there’s more! Filmmaker Glenn Berggoetz is pledging a “reward paid in nickels” for any evidence leading to the identification of Viewer Zero, i.e. the lone man or woman who paid admission to see WME! in its brief midnight engagement at the Laemmle Sunset 5. It’s increasingly harder for me to believe that this person has not yet come forward or been positively ID’d, but hey. If a reward in nickels won’t draw someone out of hiding, nothing will. Berggoetz also now offers the film’s soundtrack (“Composed and performed by Norwegian Soft Kitten. It’s completely free! It’s not very good!”) and promises a dubbed version of WME! for the film’s burgeoning Italian following (I can’t make it up, seriously). Other international distribution arrangements are reportedly forthcoming, as are future screenings in the U.S. — starting this Wednesday at the Alamo Drafthouse in Winchester, Va. Or, again, you can just cut out the middle man and revel in the box-office bottom-scraping for a mere fiver. Just putting it out there. PREVIOUSLY · The $11 Question: How The Worst Movie EVER!

Hunger Games teaser arrives

You may think MTV's Music Video Honours are merely any excuses for a ballroom filled with braying stars to find yourself in trouble right into a free bar. Well obviously that's a part of it, but once in awhile the crowd is treated to some mouth-watering nugget of previewy goodness.Last night's ceremony provided one particular bit as the very first official teaser trailer for approaching teen saga The Hunger Games. Created by star Jennifer Lawrence, it provides for us an initial take a look at her character for action, with youthful Katniss clearly pretty handy having a bow and arrow.Have a look in the footage below... Using the film presently at the time of production, it's possibly understandable the footage displayed is a touch slight, but we can at any rate make sure Lawrence looks the part for that all-action role.Just in case you have been living in the cage these past couple of several weeks, The Hunger Games informs the storyline of the future society where a war-ravaged America continues to be split up into numerous districts. Each district must provide two teens to compete inside a battle to the dying, a brutal public event referred to as Hunger Games.The film is placed hitting United kingdom screens on 23 March 2012. Hopefully we'll get a glance at an effective trailer at some point.

Telluride's Big Real Estate Listings

Every year, the Telluride Film Festival (Sept. 2-5) transforms the Colorado mountain community of 2,500 into a hot spot for the movie biz, a far cry from the town's Wild West origins. After all, this was where Butch Cassidy committed his first bank robbery.our editor recommendsDick Ebersol Lists $13 Mil Telluride Home (Exclusive)Telluride Film Festival: THR's Film Critic Todd McCarthy On Why Secret Lineup Works Hollywood also has long favored the ski town as a place for second homes. Telluride's vibe might be low-key, but the real estate is as elevated as its 13,000-foot alpine peaks. It's the state's most expensive city, with median sale prices at about $2 million this year, double the second-most-expensive city, Aspen. A wave of recent listings showcases the market's tip-top end, with asking prices nearing $20 million. THR has learned that former NBC Sports chief Dick Ebersol and his wife, actress Susan Saint James, have put their house, located in the tony Mountain Village enclave, on the market. The seven-bedroom home, priced at $13 million -- they bought it for $10.4 million in 2004 -- includes a home theater. STORY: Telluride Film Festival: THR's Film Critic Todd McCarthy on Why Secret Lineup Works In August, famous divorcee Roxanne Pulitzer listed her seven-bedroom Mountain Village property for $19.9 million. Purchased in 2001 for $4.9 million, it includes a 45-foot, full-scale replica of a labyrinth in Chartres, France. Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld put their 11-bedroom, multi-building compound on the block in July for $18.25 million. The couple created the 26-acre estate from two properties bought for nearly $10 million in 2007 and 2008. The high-end houses might not move fast -- many sit unsold. Producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall's European chalet-style house, listed in December for $19.75 million, recently was reduced to $18.25 million. The nine-bedroom compound, created from three parcels bought around 1990, is being offered furnished. Some sellers won't budge on price, according to local real estate expert Judi Kiernan of Telluride Consulting. She estimates that 50 percent of high-end buyers paid cash, meaning those owners aren't underwater on mortgages. "There is no motivation to discount the price," says Kiernan. In total, 24 single-family homes sold in the first seven months of 2011, compared with 33 in the 2010 period. The real appeal of Telluride seems to lie in its remote location (there are no direct flights from L.A.), easygoing lifestyle and increasing draw as more than a ski destination. "The summers are, for us, more spectacular than the winters," says director Barry Sonnenfeld, a non-skier who has built a luge track on the property he purchased with his wife more than a decade ago. EXCLUSIVE: Dick Ebersol Lists $13 Mil Telluride Home Some call it the anti-Aspen. Case in point: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who own a 210-acre ranch, spent the summer after their daughter Suri's birth hiking the trails surrounding Telluride. "They have their privacy," says Sotheby's broker Matthew Hintermeister, who has the Pulitzer listing. "No one photographs them as they walk down Main Street." GOT $175 MILLION FOR A RANCH IN JACKSON HOLE? The top prices in Wyoming's exclusive ski destination easily outdo Telluride's People come from California and get sticker shock," says John Pierce of Hall and Hall, the broker for what is believed to be the country's most expensive listing, the Jackson Land & Cattle ranch, which has a $175 million asking price. Located in Jackson Hole, Wyo. -- where Harrison Ford owns an 800-acre ranch and Sandra Bullock lives part time -- the 1,750-acre spread includes 35 buildable home sites and a 52-stall equestrian center. The property, owned by resort developer Richard Fields, went on the market in July. Not far away, the 1,848-acre Walton Ranch -- which has 3 miles of frontage on the Snake River and includes a three-bedroom house -- was recently listed for $100 million. The high prices, explains Ranch Marketing Associates' Billy Long, who represents the Walton Ranch, are driven by a tight market. "Ninety-seven percent of the land is composed of national parks and conservation easements. Only 3 percent is available for private ownership," he says. "The real estate is dear." -- Degen Pener Related Topics Dick Ebersol Jerry Seinfeld Real Estate

Jennifer Love Hewitt Denies Relationship With The Bacherlorettes Ben Flajnick

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jennifer Love Hewitt caused quite a stir on Twitter last month when she wrote, Watching The Bachelorette! I love u Ben!! Take this rose I have for u! Choose me!!!!:). However, the former Ghost Whisperer star says she didnt mean anything by her enthusiastic Tweet, and that ensuing rumors of a romance with The Bachelorette cast-off are just that rumors. I was looking for something pop culture to sort of tweet about Im new to the Twitter situation. I wanted to have fun with the tweeters out there in the world, Jennifer told Ryan Seacrest in an interview on his KIIS FM radio show on Wednesday, when asked if she and Ben Flajnik are dating. So, I sent out funny tweets about Ben F., and then it got all sort of like, blown out of proportion or whatever, and now its like the rumor mill is crazy. I have nothing to say except Im totally single, she continued. I dont know why people are making such a big deal. You know, it was timely. Despite her denial, Jennifer was recently spotted in San Francisco with Ben himself, but the actress chalked their meeting up to chance. We did meet, but totally by coincidence, she told Ryan. Did you make out with him? Ellen K, Ryans radio co-host, asked the actress. Rumors are rumors, Jennifer answered with a laugh, avoiding the question. One question Jennifer didnt hesitate to answer was whether producers have asked her to be the next Bachelorette. No, they didnt, she said. As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Jennifer split from actor/director Alex Beh in May. Reports of their romance first surfaced in July 2010. Past beaus of J.Loves include Jamie Kennedy, Carson Daly, John Mayer, John Asher and Ross McCall, to whom she was engaged. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.

AMC Renews 'Breaking Bad' for 16 Final Episodes

Breaking Bad will return for 16 more episodes on AMC before bidding farewell.our editor recommends'Breaking Bad' Producer Sam Catlin Inks Overall Deal at SonyBryan Cranston in Talks to Join 'World War Z' (Exclusive)Tim Goodman's What Men Should Be Watching on TV List'Breaking Bad's' George Mastras Sells Two TV Projects (Exclusive) The news follows weeks of behind the scenes squabbling over terms of the Sony-produced drama's renewal. Though few believed it would ultimately come to it, the studio was putting out feelers to rival cable networks about carrying the series in the event that it couldn't come to an agreement with AMC over financing. STORY: 'Breaking Bad' Deal to Be Done 'Fairly Soon,' AMC Networks CEO Hopes During a second quarter earnings callThursday, AMC Networks president Josh Sapan praised the studio and alleviated concerns about the project moving networks. "We think Sony's done a spectaclar job and they're a great partner," he said, "so we're actively working on a new [agreement] wth them." Breaking Bad, which will commence production in early 2012,has become an awards magnet for AMC, garnering six Emmys, including three consecutive wins for lead actor Bryan Cranston. (Due to the lengthy hiatus, the series is out of contention for this year's Emmys.) Itaverages 4.3 million viewers, hardly hit figures but nearly double whatMad Men delivers for the network. The current season --the show's fourth-- is delivering 28 percent more total viewers and over 45 percent more viewers in the coveted 18 to 34 demographic compared to last season. What's more, the serieshas proved an important piece of AMC's growth as an original series destination. Despite recent growing pains, the net has built a meaningful portofolio of critically acclaimed series, including Bad, Mad Men and The Walking Dead, to help differentiate it from the cable clutter. "Watching this story evolve into the complex, compelling, and intense roller coaster ride that it has become has been an incredible creative experience for everyone at AMC," said AMC presidentCharlie Collier in a statement Sunday. "While it is sad to even contemplate the end of the series, we are so happy to have had the chance to go on this ride, and truly look forward to presenting the rest of this amazing story." STORY: What Really Happened to Fired 'Walking Dead' Showrunner Frank Darabont Creator Vince Gilligan expressed the mixture of appreciation and relief that comes with being able to wrap a series on your terms. "It's a funny irony -- I'd hate to know the date of my own last day on earth, but I'm delighted to know what Walter White's will be (episodically speaking). This is a great gift to me and to my wonderful writers. It's knowledge which will allow us to properly build our story to a satisfying conclusion. Now, if we don't manage to pull that off, we've got no one to blame but ourselves." As one of those writers, Sam Catlin, recentlytoldThe Hollywood Reporter,"It's always tempting to keep it going, especially since we all know that this could very well be the best job we've ever had, but we would all hate to overstay our welcome and be the show that just kind of lingered." He added, "We'll make the mistake of leaving too soon and not too late is my guess."

Mike Myers has signed on for Austin Powers 4

According to a report by HitFix, Mike Myers has signed a deal to reprise his most famous screen role as Austin Powers, in a fourth outing for the shagadelic superspy.Powers is surely the most famous of all Myers' big screen characters (excluding his voicework in the Shrek franchise), with Wayne Campbell coming a close second.Seeing as he hasn't played either of those characters for almost 10 years, and in the interim we've suffered The Cat In The Hat and The Love Guru, it's not surprising that Austin's crushed velvet suit is being taken out of storage.That said, is anyone actually clamouring for another Austin Powers movie? By the time it got to Goldmember (saved by the magnificent, cameo-packed opening sequence), it felt like the series had been wrung of every last drop of humorous potential.There's no word on who could direct this latest instalment, and we haven't heard a hint of a possible plot, though presumably Myers will also be resuming scripting duties as well.Myers' last onscreen appearance was a neat little role in Inglourious Basterds, and he also has a long-mooted Keith Moon biopic in the pipeline.
