Chloe Moretz Stars inside the Most Terrifying Sunny D Commercial Ever

The fine folks at Funny or Die have released a creepy video before Halloween. Inside the clip, actress Chloe Moretz stars as Enid Krysinski also called "the terrifying girl the truth is in each and every frightening movie." Searching suspiciously like the actress from 'The Ring,' Krsysinki talks in the raspy whisper, wears white-colored contacts and contains powder-white-colored skin. But, as she describes, she's just an "regular teenage girl." She likes going to the mall, hanging along with her pals -- she even started a pop band! Still, which has not prevented her from frightening everybody she's ever are uncovered to. Before striking it large in movies, Enid carried out most likely probably the most terrifying Mess Bell ever in their school's rendition of 'Peter Pan' in addition to were built with a feel and look inside the show 'iCarly.' However, the positive thing from the video reaches the conclusion, where Enid tries to transition from frightening girl in movies on track girl in Sunny D ads. It does not go well.

The season of radical honours thinking

This seasons hopefuls funnel The Nobleman Speech for kudos inspiration. Variety's annual Honours Season Launch starts on-page 19 today, marking the condition start of kudos season (kinda/sorta/not always -- people happen to be planning campaigns for more than a year, but we just figured today was as good a period of time every to acknowledge it has began). To describe a Passover question: Why honours season different then other award seasons? The optimist inside me states this might be -- needs to be -- yearly of radical rethinking. Within the last few years, there's been many key changes round the kudos scene, as well as the mind of steam could keep building. The pessimist states it won't be easy to affect the DNA. Reasons for hope: Oscar has two occasions formerly three years broken its 66-year tradition of naming only five best picture nominees. Plus, the Governors Honours were spun off, the Oscarcast faster having a month, and will also be moved even earlier. Plans are afoot for electronic voting. Streaming of films is becoming an problem as companies are thinking about getting choices to screeners. Could this function as year that honours voters think outdoors el born area, retaining their "prestige" criteria but reinvigorating the "enjoyment" factor that has been dormant too extended? And could this function as year that AMPAS board people and ABC professionals finally consider major changes for the show? The current format was spectacular if the first demonstrated on tv in 1953. But, uh, occasions have changed. More will probably be mentioned on these subjects inside the several days ahead. The various, many several days ahead. And, yes, I've only been speaking in regards to the Oscars, while you will discover other honours occasions. Many, many, many other honours occasions. But Oscar might be the Alpha male in cuckoo kudosland, if the Academy of motion Picture Arts & Sciences makes changes, everyone else will too. However, a number of things stay: the passion for certain films, the hopes, the excitement which evolve into glassy-eyed numbness and verge-of-tears, wanting-it-will-finish-soon exhaustion. Reading through with the tea leaves Every year, strategists make an effort to develop a formula for fulfillment. Though secret ballots, experts is only able to make guesses, calculating the prior year's wins will be the Rosetta stone that opens all the methods of Academy voters' tastes. A year ago, "The Social MediaInch was winning everything until "King's Speech" won the SAG Honours and continuing its unbroken streak for the Oscar win. Consequently, many honours hopefuls this year works round the supposition that SAG is vital which any film with Kleenex-y uplift features a appealing factor. While not so quick. Indication No. 1: Experts aren't people in the Academy and the other way round. Around bloggers would rather proclaim bellwethers, this is often a very inexact art. Indication No. 2: Tastes change from year upon year. "LOTR: Return in the King" and "Slumdog Uniform" won top honours in the last decade without any single Oscar acting nomination. "Gladiator," "The Departed," "No Country for Old Males" and "The Hurt Locker" were not exactly heartwarmers. The acting in many of individuals was superb but not one of them was an "actors' movie." "The King's Speech" won because it was terrific. Plus it was terrific cuz it was not trying to mimic almost every other movie which is exactly what voters respond to. Rules of engagement There's another annual kudos tradition: Every season, the truly amazing old Academy tries to get tough on campaigning. (The topic is addressed in depth on-page 19 by Variety's new and socko honours editor Christy Grosz.) The Academy is trying to at the same time deal with reality and perception. Can we think people selected for "King's Speech" since they got a free of charge dinner at Chateau Marmont? AMPAS honchos understand that people election for faves, nonetheless they live in fear that authors and consumer-press bloggers might say Oscars might be "bought." Keep things in perspective Another annual tradition: The whole process of honours season will probably be overanalyzed and mocked as if it's another instance of Hollywood egos run amok. Basically, it comes down lower to creativity. But it's be also a period for marketing, networking and business, since some films the ones will increase earnings substantially. Ego stroke? This can be a bonus. As well as the season might be fun, if you're inside the right mood. Really the only real question is the best way to sustain that mood It is therefore official! Honours season has began! Permit the games begin! And let's make sure that for an additional handful of several days, most of us stop using lots of exclamation points!

Kermit the Frog Has Done 17 Things Worse Than Living in a Mansion

I was feeling really good about 'The Muppets.' In a world where our possible financial doom seems more and more like a reality every single day -- not to mention all of those pesky wars and natural disasters -- was it too much to ask to let me be happy about one thing? Apparently. Over the last few months, the marketing has constantly brought a smile to my face and, boy, does Jason Segel ever look like he's having the time of his life with this project. Every interview I read of his (including my own for Vanity Fair) the guy just oozes Muppets. So, what was there not to like? Enter: Frank Oz. To Oz's credit, at least he's got the balls to go on the record with his own name about his displeasure with Jason Segel's version of 'The Muppets,' unlike some other Muppeteers. "I wasn't happy with the script. I don't think they respected the characters," he told the British site Metro. What really stings about this situation is how much I admire Oz -- he brought Yoda to life, for Christ's sake! -- but this just sounds like Oz being a sourpuss. Oh, yeah, that's his own word" "But I don't want to go on about it like a sourpuss," he said. OK, then! At least he admits it! But these other unnamed sources go on to complain about unrealistic plot points, which include Kermit living in a mansion. Actually, that seems to be the main complaint: "Kermit would never live in a mansion, as he does in this movie." So, let me get this straight: The beef with Segel's 'The Muppets' is that plot point, which is so unrealistic that it "creates a false history that the characters were forced to act out for the sake of this movie," according to one of the sources. Right. So, Kermit would never, ever live in a mansion, but based on past films and television shows, Kermit would: · Throw pies into the faces of other Muppets and humans. · Take on the identity of Captain Abraham Smollett · Become a Broadway star · Become a news reporter who is also, inexplicably, identical twin brothers with a bear. · Drive a Studebaker across the country. · Become engaged to a pig. · Become bitterly jealous of Peter Ustinov's talents. · Become bitterly jealous of the Christopher Reeve's looks · On more than one occasion, cancel Fozzie's comedy act -- the one thing Fozzie loves in this world. · Visit the Planet Koozebane · Argue with a Moose who talks like John Wayne. · Force poor Fozzie to do all of the stagehand work because of a simple misunderstanding in which Fozzie sent all the stagehands into the country. · Call Beauregard "an idiot" because of a simple misunderstanding involving some confusion over elbow grease versus axel grease. · Fire singing duo Wayne and Wanda. · Throw out Mark Hamill as host after not liking the way he sings. · Trick poor Gene Kelly into performing, when all the dancing legend wanted to do was watch the show. · Fire the love of his life, Miss Piggy So, yeah, guess what: Kermit's history is laced with ridiculousness and prickliness -- but, right, he would never live in a mansion. Give me a break. [Photo: Paramount] You can contact Mike Ryan directly on Twitter. Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook RELATED

With Excalibur canned, we all know that Bryan Singer's next project after Jack The Giant Killer is a giant screen version of Battlestar Galactica. What we should have no idea without a doubt is exactly what his Galactica movie uses since it's influence.Does it lean for the original seventies Television show - as Singer has formerly recommended - or funnel the gritty drama from the up-to-date, newer television outing?A job interview with film writer John Orloff (Anonymous) has not shed much light on that decision."I've got a pretty radical take," Orloff told The La Occasions, before adding.

But whatever approach we take to go, I am sure it will likely be complementary towards the whole Battlestar Galactica mythology," he dodged.

Successor tops Iger to-do list

IgerNow that he is set to remain at the top of the Walt Disney Co. through 2016, Bob Iger can start focusing on his five-year plan.High up on his to-do list is picking a successor.Many inside the Mouse House consider the job to be Tom Staggs' to lose.Since becoming chairman of the company's theme parks and resorts group in 2009, Staggs has presided over the division's largest expansion in years.It includes the $1 billion makeover of Anaheim's California Adventure; the first major overhaul of Fantasyland inside Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom since it opened in 1971; the addition of an "Avatar"-themed land at Animal Kingdom, also in Orlando; the launch of new cruise ships in its fleet; the opening of a Hawaiian resort; and the $4.4 billion construction of Shanghai Disneyland.That park is set to open in 2016, just as Iger is set to hand over the reins. The venture has been one of his pet projects: Disney's sixth park in the world will provide the company with a lucrative way to capitalize on growing leisure travel in China.Staggs had previously served as Disney's chief financial officer (he's climbed the ranks since 1990) but moved over to the parks division when Iger wanted him to switch posts with Jay Rasulo in order to gain more operational experience. Before making the move, Staggs was instrumental in helping Iger acquire Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion.Staggs has recently undertaken a charm offensive as he's stepped up to serve as the face of the company -- a role in which he seems comfortable -- while giving presentations at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim in August and while introducing revamps of "Star Tours" and new rides at California Adventure.But Rasulo shouldn't be counted out of the running just yet. The theme park vet has gained respect on Wall Street as CFO since 2009 and helped grow the company overseas. He joined the Mouse House in 1986 as director, strategic planning and development.Other candidates include Anne Sweeney, co-chair of Disney's media networks group, the company's biggest moneymaker, and president of Disney-ABC Television Group. Studio chairman Rich Ross may also be a contender, but the former Disney Channel topper has his hands full at the moment as he tries to overhaul Disney's film biz.Although bizzers are sure to obsess over the succession issue, Iger has more on his plate in the coming years than mulling over the candidates to replace him.In addition to investing heavily in Disney's parks group, Iger is in the midst of making big changes to the company's overseas operations, and like every other showbiz CEO he is navigating its move into the era of digital distribution, particularly as it pertains to VOD and homevid. He has earned praise as a risk-taker for embracing new platforms like Apple's iTunes, iPod and iPad but has also raised the ire of exhibitors for wanting to drastically shorten theatrical release windows.Iger is not adverse to shakeups within the Mouse, as evidenced in the Staggs-Rasulo job swap in 2009, choosing Ross to head up the film studio and moving homevideo vet Bob Chapek into posts where he first overhauled the studio's theatrical biz and now heads up consumer products.As he pushes Ross to make more Disney-branded films that can spin off sequels and tie-ins that the rest of the company can take advantage of (especially Marvel's superhero pics and Pixar's toons), Iger is still intent on making the company's games group profitable by 2013; it's switched gears to focus on making games for social networks and mobile platforms.Iger has said he's not opposed to improving the bottom line through acquisitions. Early in his tenure as CEO he orchestrated the Pixar acquisition, and he surprised the biz with his stealth purchase of Marvel in 2009. Iger also acquired social game developer Playdom last year and put its exec in charge of the Mouse's interactive arm.Under the terms of the five-year employment contract Disney revealed Friday, Iger, who has served as prexy and CEO since 2005, will become chairman and CEO at the Mouse's annual shareholders meeting in March, when current chairman John Pepper is to retire. By 2015, when the new CEO is set, he'll transition to a 15-month period as exec chairman, ending June 30, 2016. After that, Iger is expected to retire from Disney.His new contract will pay him $2.5 million a year, up $500,000 from his previous contract. For three years he will also receive an incentive bonus of $12 million, based on the company's operating income, cash flow and earnings per share, while he's eligible for another $15.5 million in stock options.The bonus and stock options drop to $6 million in 2015, once Iger becomes executive chairman.Last year, Iger earned $28 million in salary, bonus and other awards, according to proxy filings.(Cynthia Littleton contributed to this report.)
