Trailer for the new movie She Wants Me starring Josh Gad, Kristen Ruhlin, Hilary Duff and Charlie Sheen.
I would love to see this movie get distributed so I can see it on the big screen, but I'm not going to hold my breath. It looks like a direct to DVD candidate.

Foodfight! Trailer Surfaces
A new trailer for the animated movie Foodfight! has been making the rounds.
Foodfight! was a movie that was originally planned to be released in 2003. It was later pushed back to 2005 and then 2007.
Charlie Sheen, Eva Longoria and Wayne Brady were the major voice actors involved, along with Hilary Duff, Chris Kattan, Christopher Lloyd, Cloris Leachman and Jerry Stiller. Haylie Duff even had a small part as the role of Sweet Cakes.
Hilary talked about the movie in a 2007 radio interview with Z100 and in early 2008 some new images from the movie were released, but no news since then.
My best guess is the movie is never coming out. From what I can remember they had problems getting licenses to use the food products featured in the movie.
There was also an issue with the main villain of the movie being named "Brand-X" which presented a problem with parents who didn't want their children thinking generic brands were inferior.
The animation is also really bad. This is somewhat understandable since it was probably done around 2002. I don't think anyone would pay to see those graphics in a movie theater 10 years later though.

Hilary Dropped from Bonnie and Clyde Movie
Our long national Bonnie and Clyde nightmare is over, as Hilary Duff has been dropped from the non-existent film.
TMZ is reporting the filmmakers are "shopping for a new Bonnie, and the split was amicable."
Kevin Zegers was supposed to play Clyde, but he is also being replaced due to scheduling conflicts.
Filming is "scheduled" to begin this fall, but then again it was also supposed to begin last fall and again this spring. Fool me twice, shame on...
UPDATE: August 30, 2011:
It's being widely reported that Hilary got a $100,000 buyout severance package for being terminated from the project.

Bloodworth starts slow at Box Office
The new Hilary Duff movie Bloodworth had a slow opening weekend at the box office. The film was playing on 10 screens across the country, and managed to make $9612.
Obviously Bloodworth is a small movie with little to no marketing budget, but this number is still disappointing. Assuming each theater showed the film ten times over the weekend at $10 per ticket, that means on average only 10 people showed up for each showing of the movie.
The poor box office performance probably means that Bloodworth won't be expanding to many more theaters in the coming weeks.
Numbers from Box Office Mojo.

Hilary talks about Music Career
Hilary Duff did another interview for the movie Bloodworth. This time she was interviewed by Izumi Hasegawa of Buzzine.
The whole interview was pretty good, but I found Hilary's comments on her music to be particularity interesting:
IH: Do you have any plans with music?
HD: I do, actually. I'm just starting to build a new team of people, and I'm going to start writing, and I think I'm going to make another record. It's been four years. I really just needed that time to take a break and reevaluate, and grow a little bit outside of being onstage and stuff. Trying to change people's perception of who I am now and accept that, I think it's the right time now, and I've got that itch.
IH: Do you want to write all your own songs, or collaborate?
HD: No, I want to collaborate. I think I'm a big believer in collaboration. I haven't done it for four years, so I'm not sure where my competence level is, of just trying to write the whole thing. If there's an amazing song that I love that's done right now, I'd sing it, or I'd love to sit down and write with people. I think it'll be a mish-mash.
IH: Are you going to do the same style of music?
HD: It's definitely going to be pop music. I'm a sucker for a catchy song and dance music -- that's my sweet spot, so I'll definitely do that.
Now, to be fair Hilary has been saying pretty much the same thing about her music career for a while now. That she is looking to restart it soon and she has the "itch" to get back into singing. So I'm taking this with a grain of salt, but it's good to see Hilary talking about music again and taking steps to start up the process.
For the whole interview, go to Buzzine.

Hilary is still Bonnie - For Now
Hilary Duff still holds the lead role for the upcoming movie The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.
Last week it was reported that Hilary had been fired from the role, but those reports apparently had jumped the gun.
Today, a story by Contact Music revealed that Hilary was emailed by the director Tonya Holly saying, "You know you're my Bonnie and of course I don't even know where this all came from and I'm so sorry..."
Hilary was quoted as saying, "So, if the movie ever gets made, I think I'm Bonnie... It's been a long time coming. With these independent movies, sometimes they never get made or sometimes they take 10 years to get made."
So it looks like Hilary is still Bonnie, for now. I would imagine that it's still possible she could be replaced because of scheduling conflicts or any other reason. It's even more possible that the movie will never be made.
