"How many ghosts have you actually caught?" Signature Entertainment in the UK has revealed an official trailer for an animated comedy called The Canterville Ghost, meant to be "fun for the whole family." The movie opens in UK cinemas starting in September. This Oscar Wilde tale adaptation reunites Fry & Laurie and a fantastic voice cast in this spooky animated adventure.

We Brits are known for our sense of class, or to be precise, upper class. Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry embody this stereotype beautifully, whether it’s stealing the spotlight from Rowan Atkinson in the various Blackadders, playing to their perceived personas in Jeeves and Wooster, or indulging in the middle class alternative to Bottom with their sketch show A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
It’s been two years since it was reported that the duo would be getting back together for a one-off adaptation of the Oscar Wilde novel The Canterville Ghost, but not a peep has been heard since then. But what I’m asking for here isn’t just a one off, I, and I’m sure many others included, wouldn’t mind something a bit more permanent.
Obviously, and sadly, the pair are in no position to warrant a substantial reunion. They’re both...

31 projects were presented by nine Russian production houses at a pitching to the Russian Cinema Fund.
Russia’s answer to Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity and an updated, Russian-set adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost were among the 31 film projects presented by nine Russian production houses - the so-called ‘leaders’ - at a pitching to the Russian Cinema Fund (Rcf) this week.
An expert committee gave each of the 31 projects a rating, but the final decision on how much production support - and whether it is a subsidy or conditionally repayable loan - will be decided by the Rcf later in the year.
Sergey Selyanov’s St Petersburg-based Ctb is behind the “first Russian space thriller”, Salyut 7, which would be based on the true story of the rescue mission for the orbital station in 1985. The film is budgeted at RUB320m and Ctb is looking to receive RUB150m from the Cinema Fund.

Author Neil Gaiman needs little introduction, thanks to his wonderful comics and books, such as American Gods, The Sandman and Coraline, and his screenwriting work on shows like Neverwhere and Doctor Who. Imagine how pleased we are, then, to learn that Gaiman's striking out into the interactive medium, and that Wayward Manor is to be his first videogame creation.
Developed in conjunction with The Odd Gentlemen, an indie studio who you might know for The Misadventures Of Pb Winterbottom, Wayward Manor is set in a 1920s mansion, and casts the player in the role of a ghost. Perhaps taking inspiration from the Oscar Wilde short story The Canterville Ghost, the player's job is to scare all the obnoxious residents of the mansion out of their wits - and,...

Hugh Laurie has revealed that he and Stephen Fry have discussed plans for a possible reunion in the future.
The former House actor told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs host Kirsty Young that he and his former comedy partner "often" talk about working together again.
However, Laurie ruled out the chances of the pair filming a new sketch show.
"I think probably sketching is a young man's game because, by and large, it's about mocking people much older than you," he said.
"We are now not only the age of cabinet ministers, we are actually probably older than half the cabinet."
Fry and Laurie first met at Cambridge University, before making four series of the sketch show A Bit of Fry and Laurie. They also starred together in a TV adaptation of PG Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster.
Speaking about Fry, Laurie said that he had a "pretty instantaneous" friendship...

Speaking about Fry, Laurie said that he had a "pretty instantaneous" friendship...

From Japanese ghost stories such as Ringu (1998) and Ju-on (2002, remade as The Grudge) to modern revisionist ghost stories such as Brad Anderson’s Session 9 (2001) and Ti West’s The Innkeepers (2011), cinematic specters have nearly always been evil, or at the very least, malicious. Scary movies have long held the belief that ghosts should frighten us, and Hollywood had lined their pockets with that notion, but is it possible to make a good movie about “good” ghosts? We think so, and here’s our proof… our Top Ten Movies About Friendly Ghosts.
10. Heart And Souls (1993)
Anything starring Robert Downey, Jr. is worth checking out in my book, but this comedy was surprisingly enjoyable. Downey plays a guy used by four ghosts to reconcile their lives before moving on into the afterlife. The catch is, Downey is less than enthusiastic, but finds himself the catalyst for something bigger than himself and goes along for the ride.

The NAACP has passed a resolution supporting marriage equality. “Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law,” says NAACP president Benjamin Todd Jealous.
As the Facebook Ipo fizzled (funny how a magic $100 billion appearing is a fizzle), Bono was reportedly set to reap a lot of money through his Elevation Partners, which purchased 2.3% of the company two years ago. Word was, he'd become the world's richest musician, surpassing Sir Paul McCartney's $1 billion net worth. But Bono says that the stock is owned by many partners, and the news of his ascension to billionaire is grossly exaggerated.

If you only know Hugh Laurie from his work on the Fox series House, you'd be forgiven for not knowing that he's actually an Englishman. Now that House is coming to an end, The Hollywood Reporter says Laurie is teaming with former comedy cohort Stephen Fry for a new animated film based on Oscar Wilde's story, The Canterville Ghost.
Fry stars as the title character, Sir Simon de Canterville, a 300 year old ghost, while Laurie stars as his nemesis, a lowly gardener who is revealed to be Death himself. Set in rural England at the end of the nineteenth century, it tells the tale of Canterville who, for hundreds of years has been haunting Canterville Chase. Everything changes when an American family - the Otises from Boston - buys Canterville Chase and moves in.
Sounds like a typical haunting comedy (Beetlejuice, etc.), but with Laurie taking a turn from...

With the series finale of House, M.D. almost upon us, Hugh Laurie is poised to move away from the small screen and back into theaters. He has Andrew Adamson‘s Mister Pip scheduled for release some time this year and now, reports surface that he and Stephen Fry, are going to finally reunite after 13 years for the CGI animated film The Canterville Ghost. [Fry's Twitter via Empire]
An adaptation of Oscar Wilde‘s classic short story, the film will feature Fry as Sir Simon de Canterville, a 300-year-old ghost, and Laurie as a lowly gardener who is actually Death in disguise. For those unfamiliar with it, Canterville Ghost is the story of Canterville who, for hundreds of years has been haunting Canterville Chase.

Patricia Highsmith novel to be adapted for big screen; and Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie to reunite in animation
Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska are to play the leads in a film version of Patricia Highsmith's lesbian classic Carol, adapted by Phyllis Nagy and directed by John Crowley.
The novel, first published in 1952 under a pseudonym, dared to suggest a happy ending for the lovers at the heart of the tale, rather than the doom usually served up at the time to homosexual women in fiction.
Lesbian romances remain thin on the ground in mainstream cinema, but the film's producer Elizabeth Karlsen said: "We've come a long way since Dirk Bogarde starred in Victim. We've had Brokeback Mountain, A Single Man, Far From Heaven – and President Obama came out in support of gay marriage."
Blanchett, who has recently been starring in Botho Strauss's play Big and Small at the Barbican theatre in London,...

10.04am: Day three of Cannes 2012 rolls round. If you want to catch up with what happened yesterday (whenever that was), here's yesterday's blow-by-blow live blog.
But as is the way with Cannes, it's history already; all that's left is to pick over the bones. And that will assuredly be happening in the video we'll post later this morning, when Peter, Xan and Catherine run the rule over Rust and Bone, last night's biggie. We'll also have a gallery of red carpet pictures, featuring star Marion Cotillard and ice-cold director Jacques Audiard. (I've said it before, I'll say it again: he's the person I want to be when I grow up.)
So what to look forward to today? The line-up is perhaps a tad less starry that on days one and two: the competition films are Reality, from Italian director...

With the long-running medical drama series "House M.D." coming to an end next week, I'm hoping that means Hugh Laurie will have more time for feature films. He's lent his voice to films like Hop, Monsters vs. Aliens and Arthur Christmas recently (since voice roles are considerably less time consuming when hiatus between seasons of a TV show), and he's adding another one to the mix. However, this time THR reports Laurie will reunite with his old comedy cohort Stephen Fry for the first time in 13 years to lend their voices to an animated film called The Canterville Ghost, an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's short story. The two made quite the name for themselves in their comedy series "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" and now they'll star opposite each other with Fry playing the title character, Sir Simon de Canterville, a 300 year old ghost, while Laurie voices his...

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, before they went on to become an American TV star and a British national treasure respectively, were best known for their work together as a comedic team back in the 80's be it their own sketch show to their memorable turns in "Blackadder".
Now the duo are reuniting for an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "The Canterville Ghost" in which they'll be voicing characters. Fry himself broke the news through his Twitter feed (via Empire) saying "M'coll Hugh & I will be working together to voice the new animated feature of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost."
Melmoth Films is currently seeking financing for the project which "That Mitchell And Webb Look" co-writers Keiron Self and Giles New are adapting.

Now that House is wrapping up leading man Hugh Laurie is free to stop pretending both that he is American and serious. He is now free to go back to being British and very, very funny. He is, in short, free to continue with one of the longest running and most consistently high quality comedy duos of our age. Yes, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are getting back together.Fry tweeted yesterday that "Hugh Laurie and I are cooking up a project together. We will be working again soon. Sorry to be mysterious but more news when I can." He followed that up with notice that the duo were contributing voice work to an animated version of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost but my gut...

The ever-enigmatic and brilliant pairing of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie will be reuniting once more!
The duo have been working together for decades, starring not only alongside each other in Blackadder, but bringing us their own programmes in the form of A Bit of Fry and Laurie (1987-1995) and Jeeves and Wooster (1990-1993).
Fry has taken to Twitter to announce that he and Laurie will be working together again to lend their voices to Melmoth Films’ animated production of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost, currently in pre-production, being developed with the assistance of the BFI.
The film is an adaptation of Wilde’s original short story, first published in 1887.
Kim Burden (Stressed Eric) is directing from a script co-written by frequent collaborators Giles New and Keiron Self (That Mitchell and Webb Look), with Sprout Pictures (co-owned by Fry) co-producing with Hibbert Ralph.

This week, naturally, it's all about the scares and there are plenty of films and shows to provide the shivers for Halloween and the next seven days or so.

They can be harmful. They can be helpful. They can be annoying as all get-out. The film world has given us everything in the spectrum of ghost virtue from Bruce Willis to the creepy girl from Ringu. Today, in honor of The Lovely Bones, we salute the good guys, the friendly ghosts who ride high along with Casper in the act of moral solidarity.

Debbie Rochon, often described as a scream queen herself, wrote in an article originally published in Gc Magazine that "a true Scream Queen isn't The Perfect Woman. She's sexy, seductive, but most importantly 'attainable' to the average guy. Or so it would seem." Nastassja Kinski Films: To the Devil a Daughter (1976) [1] Cat People (1982) [2] The Day the World Ended (2001) [3] Inland Empire (2006) [4] Kinski will always be remembered for the iconic photograph shot by Richard Avedon (with a snake coiled around her body) and her role in Paul Schrader's (not so good) remake of Cat People. Needless to say, it was a hit at the box office and Kinski deservingly received a Saturn Award for Best Actress.
