Big screen newcomer Jonny Weston’s been out on the road doing publicity for the dramatic surf movie, Chasing Mavericks, based on a true story. And one of his stops on the publicity tour was at a high school in San Diego where he posed for photos with students and signed autographs. After answering questions about shooting the film and his own surfing experience, Weston gave away a replica surfboard identical to the one he used in Chasing Mavericks.

The Plot:

Chasing Mavericks is the inspirational true story of real life surfing phenom Jay Moriarity (played by Weston). When 15 year old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (played by Gerard Butler) to train him to survive it. As Jay and Frosty embark on their quest to accomplish the impossible, they form a unique friendship that transforms both their lives, and their quest to tame Mavericks becomes about far more than surfing.

Cheers co-stars Rhea Perlman and Kirstie Alley (best known recently for her Dancing With the Stars appearance) are getting back together for the TV Land pilot, Giant Baby. According to TV Land, Perlman will play Alley’s long-suffering best friend.

TV Land executive vice president, development and original programming Keith Cox made the announcement, stating: “We’ve hit the jackpot getting Kirstie and Rhea back together. It’s a dream to work with such talented comedic actors like these ladies and create a show for them that’s funny and has interesting characters – Giant Baby hits all of those notes.”

The Plot:

Giant Baby revolves around Madison “Maddie” Banks, a Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when Arlo, her long-lost son, turns up looking to connect after his adopted mother has died. However, Maddie doesn’t exactly see nerdy and schlubby Arlo fitting in with her luxurious lifestyle. When her attempt to change Arlo backfires, Maddie finds that perhaps they both could use a little change in their lives.

Sony Music will be releasing the soundtrack to Life of Pi on November 19, 2012. Based on the critically acclaimed bestselling novel by Yann Martel, Life of Pi is brought to life on the big screen by Ang Lee and stars newcomer Suraj Sharma and Irrfan Khan. 20th Century Fox is planning a November 21, 2012 theatrical release of the film.
 
Mychael Danna composed the score which, according to Sony Music, reflects “the international character as well as the religious and philosophical aspects of Life of Pi.” The score, which includes the use of an Indian flute, an Indonesian gamelan, celeste, and accordion, was recorded by a Los Angeles studio orchestra.

Danna also co-wrote the film’s original song “Pi’s Lullaby” with “Indian vocalist Bombay Jayashri, who performs the song in her native Tamil language.”
 
The Plot:
 
Life of Pi takes us through a young man’s incredible adventure – at turns thrilling and spiritual; joyous and harrowing; humorous and tragic. Audiences will follow Pi Patel as he travels from an exotic zoo in India on a voyage across the Pacific, where he survives a shipwreck and is cast adrift in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger as his only company. Adrift in an endless expanse of ocean, Pi struggles to survive and train his companion, landing on a magical island that offers the two their only respite on their desperate journey.

Is it December yet? No? Well, then I guess we have to just settle for this short new TV spot for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to tide us over until Warner Bros and/or filmmaker Peter Jackson decide we need another peek at the upcoming much-anticipated first film of the trilogy.

The Plot: The Hobbit follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), Bilbo (Martin Freeman) finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters, and Sorcerers.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s ‘precious’ ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to imagine.
