All Eyes On Britney Spears

On August 20th Britney Spears posted on twitter “#AllEyesOnMe www.britneyspears.com” and since then has been posting numerous mysterious tweets. Every single Britney fan, myself included, has been extremely curious as to what this could mean. So we’re going to dissect some of her most recent tweets to come up with our own theory of what these many mysterious tweets could mean.

6f46de9f45b2321243a2ecae1375160bOn August 20th Britney also tweeted British singer Sia saying “The song is both beautiful and heartbreaking @Sia. Evokes SO much emotion every time I hear it.” Then she proceeded to tweet “One of the most beautiful songs I have recorded in a LONG time :)” So this tweet is clearly talking about a new song from her album. We’re hoping this song she’s talking about is going to be another ballad like “Everytime” because that’s personally one of our favorite Britney songs!

August 23rd she tweeted “Heard #AllEyesOnBritney24Days was trending. Any guesses what’s coming? ;)” By the sound of this tweet your first thought might be that she was going to make an announcement of some type. However, if you’ve been a Britney fan since day one, you know Britney likes to do things big. So we think that the hashtag she previously used that started all of this may not actually be a song title, because she uses those words in her lyrics for her song “Circus” and she also uses the words “all eyes on us” in her most recent hit with will.i.am. So the hashtag may just be an innuendo to her new song that she’ll be premiering soon.

Lastly, in our opinion possibly 2 of the most crucial tweets. On August 28th she tweeted “Taking a quick break to say hi to all my tweeps 🙂 Rehearsing for something top secret happening next week… #WERK” This tweet just screams, “Hey ya’ll I’m actually going to be doing a really amazing performance hope you’re ready for it world! ;)” And the final tweet to date in our mysterious tweets was on August 30th “Just finishing up with my vocal coach & now I’m off to dance rehearsals. How’s everyone’s Friday? Where you going for Labor Day weekend? :)” So Britney is obviously rehearsing for something and she wants us all to see it.987db71e6f89001900c0211eec9eb08a

So our theory as to what all of these tweets could possibly mean is that we think Britney is either preparing for a performance to debut her new single or is filming the video as we speak. We’re hoping she goes with the performance because we love to see her perform! What are your theories on what the Princess of Pop is preparing for us??

Katy Perry is Back with a ROAR!

PRISM

Having remained relatively quiet since the July 2012 release of her movie “Katy Perry: Part Of Me”, Katy Perry has crashed back onto the scene with the upcoming October 22nd release of her latest album ‘Prism’. It has been talked about for months among her ‘Katy Cats’ as we have eagerly awaited news. Katy has been in and out of the Studio over the past couple months.

Announcing the album by releasing a Golden semi truck unexpectedly on the City of Los Angeles and then across the country to New York, where she descended from the PRISM truck in a haze of smoke to promote the release of her single.

Katy Truck

The first single from PRISM was released on Aug.13 just hours before Lady Gaga’s ‘Applause’ leaked, but in typical Katy fashion she proved her place as pops princess by beating out Lady Gaga for the number one spot. This week following the VMAs  we also got a sneak peek listen of two of PRISMs other tracks “Dark Horse” and “Walking On Air” thanks to Pepsi. All amazingly different to what we saw on Teenage Dreams (2010)  but at the same time they could not be more Katy Perry-esque and we LOVE them! The Subject matter of this album is expected to cover Katy’s divorce from Russel Brand and her relationship with John Mayer but still have the fun pop sound of Katy.

Katy who closed out the VMAs last week with a performance of her single ‘Roar’ tweeted Friday that “The #Roar Music Video is Coming to You In Junglescope Sept 5th!” The tweet was accompanied by this amazing photo;

Katy Perry picWe cannot wait to see what Katy has in store with this Album and the tour that is sure to follow, if we have learned anything about it so far, we know it’s going to be WILD!

Sneak Peek at Revenge Season 3

The lies, betrayal, deception, drama, love, death..it’s all coming back! Check out the sneak peek at season 3 below!

She’s in a wedding dress,  she says sorry and then BAM! She gets shot! *insert WTF gif here.* Did that seriously happen? So many thoughts are running through my head.. Was it a dream? Is she wearing a bullet proof vest? Was it a set up? And this happens in the first minute of the show?!  Talk about starting off with a bang.

I can’t even begin to focus on any of the other characters in the trailer (I’m looking at you, Conrad.) because my mind is racing with ideas about Emily. I was already excited for this show but this teaser has me wishing my way to September 29th!

The third season of Revenge premieres on ABC – Sunday Sept 29 at 9|8.

My question for you all is: Who do you think shot Emily?!

Dan Waters on Treating the Supernatural as Completely Natural

Movies.com was able to get some time from Vampire Academy screenwriter Dan Waters while in he midst of post production to get his view on why this young adult series turned movie sets itself apart from the genre that has become a trend. Here’s how their conversation went:

It’s easy to look at the promotional campaign for the adaptation of Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy and brand the film another Twilight or just another one-note teen supernatural adventure, but screenwriter Daniel Waters is well aware of that and expects to prove those naysayers wrong come February 14, 2014.

The film’s first teaser trailer just dropped and, as it should, only scratches the surface of the narrative: best friends Rose (Zoey Deutch) and Lissa (Lucy Fry) attend St. Vladimir’s Academy, your typical high school filled with young love, parties, and gossip. Oh, and vampires, too. Lissa is a Moroi, a benevolent breed of vampire whose existence is threatened by the malicious Strigoi. That’s where Rose steps in. She’s a Dhampir, half human and half vampire, and is studying to become Lissa’s guardian in order to protect her from the Strigoi.

Again, that’s only the surface. The story is loaded with curious characters, varying relationships, sass, action, and a particularly unique set of world rules. The film isn’t due in theaters until Valentine’s Day of next year, but Waters took the time out of post-production work to give us an update on the project, enlighten us on his adaptation process, and offer some thoughts on the book-to-film potential beyond Vampire Academy. Catch it all for yourself in the interview below.

Movies.com: How far along are you in the editing process?

Daniel Waters: We’re just coming on our first cut, so it’s still very early on. We’re trying to get out at Valentine’s Day so everything is a little accelerated. Things are going good, but it’s still at the first cut stage.

Movies.com: Based on the footage you’ve seen so far, is there anything that you’re particularly excited to show fans – perhaps even in the marketing campaign?

Waters: Well, yeah. It’s tricky because I’m still recovering from the over-hysteria and over-analysis of the one-minute teaser trailer. I’m afraid to turn on my computer nowadays. [Laughs] But unfortunately, for me, a lot of my favorite scenes are the scenes towards the end of the movie that you don’t want to give away in a teaser or a trailer, so it’s gonna be weird to see how we end up using that in marketing. The problem I have with marketing in general when you tie it to trailers and commercials and things, is that only the surface clichés of the vampire genre are gonna come across, when the movie, like the book, is much richer and more complex than any commercial or any trailer could be.

Movies.com: How would you describe the tone of the film? How would you compare it to, let’s say, Heathers and Mean Girls?

Waters: I gotta get my brother to stop saying the word “comedy.” When I hear the words “vampire” and “comedy, I start to think, “that vampire’s a real pain in the neck! He’s not my blood type!” [Laughs] I start thinking of all these awful Saturday morning jokes. To me, it’s not a comedy, but it does have some wit to it. It’s not Heathers or Mean Girls; it’s Vampire Academy. You look at Vampire Academy and it’s got that same mixture of tone, that sometimes it’s scary, sometimes it’s intense, sometimes it’s romantic and sometimes it is genuinely amusing. There’s a couple of scenes where we went for a laugh, but I think it’s not like we take you out of the movie. It’s not too goofy. Some of my movies people have accused of having way too many tones and being way too crazy, but my brother’s definitely much more the left-brain, stern taskmaster. He’ll like slap me on the face if I go too far, so if I try to make it too goofy, he’ll draw it back. I think this is what makes us different than other teen films. I’ve seen Mortal Instruments, I’ve seen the trailer for Divergent, and to me it looks like homework. It looks like, oh my god, it’s so tied into the plot that I feel like I should be taking notes. But I’d like to think Vampire Academy is a little more breezy about such things. It plays it a lot more naturally. I think that’s been our motto from the beginning, to treat the supernatural as completely natural.

Movies.com: Can you talk about your adaptation process? Do you mark the book up a certain way, make notecards, or anything like that?

Waters: Yeah, certainly my copy of Vampire Academy is ravaged. I think I really did tear it apart. The problem is, you’ve got this huge over-300-page book, and when a movie is a bullet, it’s kind of like taking a bathtub of gunpowder and trying to pack it into a bullet. I packed as much as I could in there. There’s certainly nothing worse than going to a concert where the artist doesn’t play your favorite songs, and I can assure everyone that everybody’s favorite stuff is in there. There’s a lot of stuff I had to maybe make tighter. I’m already getting grief for accelerating Rose’s training. Yes, she gets to train with the silver stake in the first movie and she waits until the second book. I’m sorry! But then there’s little things like, yes, in the book the shopping scene comes before the ankle scene, but in my movie the ankle scene had to come before the shopping scene. It’s little things like that, but everybody should be happy that I do have a shopping scene and I do have an ankle scene. It’s not like I added crazy stuff like a talking dog or anything like that, either. It definitely was all about not doing whatever I wanted. It was definitely me trying to serve the material as best I could.

Movies.com: Can you reveal more about the pieces you might have added? Richelle gave you more than enough to work with, but what Daniel Waters originals will we see in the movie?

Waters: Definitely the dialogue, maybe, is a little openly more witty, but I definitely didn’t try to mess with a blimp with laser beams or a flying giraffe. It’s like you say: there’s so much stuff in there to begin with. I mean, I think a lot of things is connecting material. Like the steel casing around the bullet. How do you make things connect a little better? I think the main part of the adaptation process was that a lot of the book takes place in Rose’s head where Rose has information that even the reader doesn’t have, and I tried to move away from that a little bit. Maybe Rose doesn’t know as much about Ms. Karp as she thought she did. It involves her being more of an active protagonist, more of someone who has to play detective in certain things, which is much more interesting than going to see a movie where the character’s narrating everything and saying, okay, this happened and this happened. The book’s a lot like that, but because of Richelle’s beautiful writing it works. You’re in Rose’s head with her, but in a movie you just don’t have that luxury. I think a lot of it’s got to be surprising to the characters as much as the audience.

Movies.com: This may sound silly, but do you have a favorite character?

Waters: The problem is, to me, it’s always like, who’s your second favorite character? Rose is obviously the character that, to me, is fascinating because I love the fact that she’s not even likable a lot of times. She’s sometimes really irritating, which makes me like her all the more. I think she’s just such an original character in that she’s not a weak character like we see in a lot of these films. But I even think strong female characters are boring when they do everything right! [Laughs] Rose is strong, but she can be weak, she’s vulgar, she’s loving, she’s mean. I think there’s just so many shadings with her that I could do a whole movie of just her alone in her room. That’s what makes her fascinating. I can tell you, there were characters that I wasn’t crazy about in the book. I thought both Mia and Natalie were kind of one dimensional in the book. It worked for the book, but I think in the movie I was very happy that Sarah Hyland as Natalie and Sami Gayle as Mia — and hopefully me as a writer too — we brought a little more layers to those characters. You definitely feel sorry for them at some points and you can see their point of view a little bit better, so it’s kind of cool.
