"OK, last week, Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer moved Prince of Persia back almost a year. The film was supposed to open on June 19, 2009, and now it's Memorial Day, 2010. Why the postponement? If I had to guess, seriously, I think it's so Disney can get a Comic Con jump start next summer. Look what it did for Iron Man, and watch what it will do for Watchmen.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Otherwise, I have no idea why they'd push it back that far unless it's the labor issues, but that doesn't seem to be stopping very many movies at the moment. When they pushed the release date back, though, it opened up a major hole in the Summer 2009 schedule, and studios have been frantically trying to fill it. However, most of the tentpoles are set, so June 19th, kind of like the Get Smart-Love Guru weekend this year at the same spot, is shaping up to be filled with filler.
Variety reports that Disney has thrown another title in Persia's place on June 19th, the Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds rom-com The Proposal. How awful does that sound? Sandra Bullock...romantic comedy...called The Proposal. Yeesh.
Another comedy will now also swoop in on the 19th of June, with Fox's The Tooth Fairy staking its claim for the kiddies. The movie stars Dwayne Johnson, who I'd prefer in more action-oriented stuff, but a guy's gotta eat, I guess.
Will anything cool open on that weekend? Could be. We have the Judd Apatow Factory's 2009 model, Year One, a Old Testament-era comedy directed by Harold Ramis (one of the smartest guys I've ever met in the business of show), which stars Jack Black and Michael Cera. Given the growing clout of all things Apatow (with apologies to Drillbit Taylor...or maybe that should be the other way around), you'd have to put the smart money on this Sony release that weekend.
Will there be other moves in 2009? Possibly Transformers, scheduled for the next week, coincidentally enough. That's entirely contingent on Shia LaBeouf's ability to keep up with the shooting schedule following his recent accident. Even still, it's highly doubtful they'd miss that weekend bleeding over into July 4th, so I'm sure they'll figure something out. Maybe less effects in the third act. Couldn't hurt".

"Caution: there's a way-against-type cameo spoiled in the below trailer for NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST. Most of you won't care, but die hard fans of Judd Apatow's television output might want to skip out on the last thirty seconds. If NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST ends up working (and it better, since I've been waiting for Peter Sollett's follow-up to RAISING VICTOR VARGAS for six years now), it looks like it'll be due to the chemistry of Michael Cera and Kat Dennings. I guess Dennings is a bit of an x-factor here: I've liked her in stuff prior to this (most notably THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN), but I don't think I've seen her in a substantial role outside of the kind of awful CHARLIE BARTLETT. Eh, I'm sure she'll be fine.
Other than that, it's kind of odd to see Cera playing a character in a band so close to SCOTT PILGRIM. Good thing he appears to be playing rhythm guitar instead of bass". Source: www.aintitcool.com
In the book it's Nick who asks for Norah to be his five minutes girlfriend to avoid his ex-girlfriend Tris, in the film it's Norah who will ask for Nick to kiss her.
In the novel:
Nick: "She sees me. She can’t fake surprise at seeing me here, because of course she fucking knew I’d be here. So she does a little smile thing and whispers something to the new model and I can tell just from her expression that after they get their now-being-poured drinks they are going to come over and say hello and good show and—could she be so stupid and cruel?—how are you doing? And I can’t stand the thought of it. I see it all unfolding and I know I have to do something—anything—to stop it.
So I, this random bassist in an average queercore band, turn to this girl in flannel who I don’t even know and say:
“I know this is going to sound strange, but would you mind being my girlfriend for the next five minutes?” "The flick tells the tale of Nick, a high school guitar player who has just been dumped by his girlfriend Tris. At Nick’s band’s show, Tris is there on the arm of a new guy. Norah is also at the show, taking care of a friend. Nick is trying to avoid Tris, as is Norah. The two pretend to be lovers for five minutes to show Tris how not uncool they are, and the story takes off from there.
Set in Manhattan against the whirlwind of the city lights and excitement, Nick and Norah have an unforgettable adventure sure to win over the hearts of audiences everywhere. Much like indie-hit Juno, this film is just as much about music as it is about storyline, featuring great talent such as: Band of Horses, The Ravonettes, Modest Mouse, and Vampire Weekend, amongst others on the soundtrack.
Starring in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist are Michael Cera (Nick), Kat Dennings (Norah), Alexis Dziena (Tris), and a crew of other up-and-coming young actors. Based on the novel by young adult author extraordinaire Rachel Cohn (Gingerbread, Shrimp, Cupcake) and David Levithan, this story is surely not one to miss". Source: www.filmschoolrejects.com
