This Listicle is Event-Sized: Trade Roughage, 10/10/07

It’s hard to pick a single line to isolate from this Variety story about the soon-to-be-in-production fourth Terminator flick–I LOLed throughout. Is the the part where the film’s budget is described as “event-sized”? Maybe the part where the producers shamelessly hint that Governor Schwarzenegger will make a cameo? Or, maybe the meticulous breakdown of the Terminator chronology, ending with financier Derek Anderson’s insistence that “this is set in the future, in a full-scale war between Skynet and humankind” (phew!) Actually, everything you need to know is contained in the proposed title: Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.
Brad Silberling will direct Will Ferrell in a big-screen adaptation of Land of the Lost. The project, which is categorized as an “event comedy” (when did ‘event’ become an adjective?) is set up at Universal, who took a bath on their last “event comedy”, the bloated Evan Almighty. Thus, the Lost budget “was recalibrated from $125 million to $100 million in order to earn its start date.”
Rejoice! Fred Durst’s directorial debut The Education of Charlie Banks is FINALLY coming to theaters and DVD! Caption that photo however you see fit.
