Corey Haim meant a lot things to the posters in Twitter-Wood, and his unexpected death this morning triggered an outpouring of rememberances. Ashton Kutcher called him a "childhood hero," Alyssa Milano said he was a "sweet boy," and numerous other noted their favorite Haim films, from "The Lost Boys" and "Lucas" to "License to Drive" and "Dream a Little Dream."
Whether they remembered him as a someone they watched before coming to Hollywood or as a fellow actor whose career spanned decades, Haim got a lot of love from the Twitter community today. "The Lost Boys" will outdo "Twilight" every time on my all-time favorite vampire films lists, and Haim will remain there along with it. Check out what everyone had to say after the jump, and feel free to share your own memories in the comments.

While doing some early publicity interviews for his work on the upcoming Mother's Day, director Darren Bousman has also been dealing with a little bit of a sticky situation.
There's been a lot of speculation amongst the fanbase regarding the similarities between Universal's upcoming film Repo Men and Bousman's own Repo! The Genetic Opera. Given that both films were in production at roughly the same time, people are wondering which came first.
Over on DarrenLynnBousman.com Bousman has addressed the situation once and for all. We recommend you head on over and check it out as it's a really interesting read. One that will hopefully put all the speculation and chatter quietly to bed.
Coincidence? Rip-off? Decide for yourself. Either way, we're sure both films will have their fans, but I think that Repo!'s fanbase will remain the most vocal and loving for many years to come. We'll see...

On his blog, director Darren Lynn Bousman just posted an update on his upcoming reimagining of the cult classic Mother's Day. In it, the filmmaker remarks that he's deep into editing, and that all the performances are so strong he's having a tough time cutting anything. He also posted a new pic from the film. Check out the full image after the jump. Bousman says he doesn't have a distributor for the film, as it's independently financed, but that he doesn't have a problem with the wait and with it opening after the actual holiday, with which it shares its name but not much else.

Suburbia as a metaphor for hell... seems kind of obvious, doesn't it? ABC seems to think so, as they are currently working on a series called The Gates, set for a summer premiere. According to THR, in it, a "big-city cop becomes chief of police in a sleepy planned community, only to discover there's much more to the residents than meets the eye." Frank Grillo (Prison Break, the upcoming Mother's Day remake) will star as the new chief of police.

Will two great television tastes taste great together? ABC is taking the cop show formula and infusing it with elements that make True Blood , The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural successes. The outcome will be The Gates , a new series making its debut this summer. Here a bit city cop becomes the chief of police of a sleepy "planned community" and discovers the residents are not all they're cracked up to be. Richard Hatem and Grant Scharbo serve as writers. Hatem produced The Mothman Diaries and is a Supernatural and Dead Zone vet. Frank Grillo - seen in the upcoming Mother's Day - has taken the lead role. Luke Mably is a "vampire-like creature."

Sounding very similar to how Darren Lynn Bousman's Mother's Day kicks off comes Atm, which centers on three co-workers who -- on a routine stop at an Atm -- unexpectedly end up in a desperate fight for their lives. The Safran Co. and Gold Circle Films picked up the spec script by Buried writer Chris Sparling. David Brooks, who gained fame with his short "Gone", will get behind the camera this fall. Paul Brooks ("A Haunting in Connecticut") will also produce. "Buried," starring Ryan Reynolds, was the first major sale at Sundance with Lionsgate snapping up domestic distribution rights for $3.2 million. Scott Neimeyer, Norm Waitt and Dan Clifton are exec producing "Atm." Safran is also producing actioner "Elephant White," starring Djimon Hounsou, and action-comedy "Flypaper," starring Patrick Dempsey. Paul Brooks is a producer on Warner Bros.' "Life as We Know It," starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel.

Shanghai
Opens: 2010
Cast: John Cusack, Gong Li, Ken Watanabe, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chow Yun-Fat
Director: Mikael Hafstrom
Summary: In the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, an American man arrives in Shanghai to find his friend recently murdered. In investigating his friend's death, he stumbles upon a secret the United States government has been keeping and falls in love in the process.
Analysis: After being granted permission to shoot in the Chinese city, the $10 million production found its permit quickly being revoked by the Government who expressed concerns about the script. The result is Bangkok and the United Kingdom standing in for the real Shanghai which seems kind of against the entire point.
Cusack himself has emphatically endorsed the project in interviews, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity", but being stuck at the cash-strapped Weinstein Company means that its release plans are unsure beyond a vague promise of a limited bow around Easter.

The Last Airbender

Summary: A live-action film based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series. In a fantastic world where civilisation exists as four great empires, a reluctant young child sets out on a perilous journey to restore balance to a world torn apart by war.
Analysis: It has been quite the decade for M. Night Shyamalan, who started it as a household name with the label of a modern-day Hitchcock thanks to the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs". Today he's considered more of a one-trick pony and in some cases a punchline due to rampant stories of egomania run wild and a series of much derided onscreen flops like "Lady in the Water" and "The Happening".

Darren Bousman is up in Toronto filming the Mother's Day remake with Rebecca De Mornay, Jaime King, Briana Evigan, Alexa Vega and Shawn Ashmore and has taken some time out of his busy day to file a video blog from the set.

It's supposedly the first in a series of videos Bousman will be filing from the set. Though we don't get to...

Saw II & III director Darren Bousman's remake of Mother's Day has been rushed into production fairly quickly. It was only five months ago that we first learned it was even happening and now Bousman is already shooting this up in Canada. Darren just posted the first official photo from the remake on his Twitter today. It's not a behind-the-scenes shot but rather an actual photo showing Patrick Flueger (I think?) wrestling with what looks to be Jaime King. Either way it's a pretty dynamic first look at the movie, although it doesn't show much (in terms of story). Bousman also debuted a behind-the-scenes first look on IGN today as well. This remake, written by newcomer Scott Milam, will see the villainous family return to the house where they grew up and terrorize the new owners and their guests. The story will reflect today's times and the rough economy. "She's...
