There are few things guaranteed in the upside down, always changing world of Hollywood, but here's one thing you can bank on: a successful film, if at all possible, will get a sequel.
And as the summer moves forward, "Bridesmaids" is becoming more than just a success.
A big opening weekend got the speculation started, but having just passed "Sex and the City" as the highest grossing R-rated female-driven comedy of all time, there's little doubt that Universal will be hungry for another helping of the Kristen Wiig-starring, Paul Feig-directed and Judd Apatow-produced laugh factory (with names like those, was there any doubt it'd be a hit?).
Thus far, no green light has been given, but Feig already is licking his chops to get it made -- if the script is worthwhile.
"It's not officially been moved toward, but I'd be very open to it," he told Movieline. "It would just have to be as good or better than this one. What you don't want to do is the one that ruins the memory of the first one. But nothing would make me happier if we could make another one with this amazing cast, and people go, 'That's awesome!' If it's as good or as better than the first one, that would be fantastic. Because everything around it was great -- the cast, the people behind the scenes, the stories we're telling, the fact that we get to do movies for and with hugely talented women. What could be better than that? It would be great to carry that on, but, again, it has to be high quality."
Feig made similar comments back in May, when he wasn't quite sure how well the film would do at the box office.
"Who knows? I mean, it depends how we do in the next couple weeks, but I know there's definitely ... it's already been brought up," he told NY Magazine. "So, um, you know, when you get a group that's this deep and this good, it's a crime to not use them again. You just want to make sure that you do it as well as you did the first one and try to make it better, even. So, we're up for the challenge."
Even as Patna University (PU) has failed to maintain its academic calendar for the academic session 2010-11, it is striving hard to publish the results of all the examinations. The process of admission to various undergraduate and postgraduate courses has already started.
PU has published the results of BA, BSc and BCom honours part III examinations and efforts are on to publish degree part II honours exam results by next week, said PU examination controller D N Sharma.
The results of many degree part III examinees are pending as their part II examination results are awaited. These students are unable to apply for admission to postgraduate courses. They would lose one precious year if their results are not cleared before July 11, the last date for submission of application forms for admission to PG courses.
Sharma said the results of self-financing courses at undergraduate and PG levels, about 80 in number, have been published. The results of MA part II examination in different subjects of humanities have been published and those of social science subjects would be published within two to three days. The results of MSc part II examination are also in the process of publication. The results of LLB part I, II and III examinations have also been published. The results of library science examination would be published on Tuesday, Sharma added.
The Anna University results 2011 are now online for students. These are very important exam results for the Anna University of Technology at Chennai, which will help determine educational plans, careers and possibly alter summer plans as well. There is also some news available on the Anna University of Technology Channai Exam schedule as a change has been made to an exam's timetable.
The 2011 exam results can be obtained for all students who took the particular exams for April and May of this year. Students simply head to the Anna University's specific result section, enter their registration or roll number and submit to get their exam score. The latest exams for Anna University include Distance Education and UG/PG Examinations for the Mark or Credit systems.
The good news for those students who aren't happy with their initial Anna University results for 2011 is that there is a Revaluation process. It will cost some money but if done before July 13th, students have a chance to do better during Revaluation. The Revaluation costs 700 rupees, which is the equivalent of$15.75 in US Dollars, so not as daunting a figure as it may look.
Anna University, known for its reputable educational programs in India, was officially split into six different universities between 2007 and 2010, including the Chennai University of Technology. The technology university in Chennai officially started on the 1st of February 2007 and is located in Tamil Nadu of India.
There is news for the Anna University of Technology Chennai regarding an exam schedule change on the time table. An important note for students in the M.E. Computer Science and Engineering branch has also been announced online. The 241074 Soft Computing examination was changed from it's original schedule of 5th of July 2011 and will now occur on the 6th of July 2011 from 10AM until 1PM local time. Students should definitely make sure to take note of this so they don't show up for a test on the wrong date!
Casey Anthony's lead defense attorney has finished his closing argument insisting that the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee was an "accident snowballed out of control."
Jose Baez spent most of his four-hour argument Sunday concentrating on holes in the prosecution's forensic evidence, saying it was based on a "fantasy."
The judge overseeing the case indicated that the jury will begin deliberating on Monday.
Prosecutors contend Caylee was suffocated with duct tape by her mother, who then crafted elaborate lies to mislead investigators and her parents.
Baez says the toddler accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool and that her father made the death look like a murder, which he denies.
Though countryside skies and childhood fairytales promise a notion of their proximity and generosity, the truth is, stars rest in space at a distance beyond the mind's capacity to fully conceive. Steady fireballs burning lightyears away, it's more than their glow that make them the perfect metaphor for Hollywood's fame hierarchy: the sheer will it takes over so many thankless years to reach star status parallels the space flight required.
With that grit and patience and understanding of greatness required to reach that star level, conversely, the meteoritic rise and atmospheric flameouts of Hollywood one-hit wonders mimics the dangers of untethered space travel. So often, it's the child actor, shot from a rocket into show business at an age far earlier than is truly advisable, that assumes that arc of the solar flare, or the imploding dwarf that never shone bright enough. The stories of troubled adulthoods following childhood flame are legion, with a certain extra mettle required to avoid the fate.
Perhaps appropriately, given his character's legendary magical powers and storyline of simmering bravery and valor, it seemed that Daniel Radcliffe, the big screen's Harry Potter, would defy those pitfalls and reach that star status, so calm and collected and level-headed, he. And as his final Hogwarts adventure rushes toward worldwide release, it does indeed look as if he will be the exception to the rule, a star in his adult years akin to a Ron Howard or Michael J. Fox. But as he reveals, it wasn't always so written in stone that he would make that transition.
Speaking to GQ UK about a mid-Potter lapse in self-control and appreciation, Radcliffe revealed that for a while, "I became so reliant on alcohol to enjoy stuff. There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me."
Now 21, Radcliffe largely escaped much paparazzi scrutiny for his hard-partying ways (though some photos were captured by the Daily Mirror), a stroke of luck rarely afforded a child star in the midst of growing pains. And though any photos that would catch him drinking would now only reveal a partier, not a law breaker, Radcliffe says he's moved past that point.
