Sorry, those of you in the UK, Irish Republic, and Italy: Alice in Wonderland will not be shown at your local Odeon theatres. Following Disney’s demand to reduce the window from theatre to DVD from 17 to 12 weeks, the cinema company issued a eff you to Disney. Odeon, Britain’s largest cinema chain, reportedly won’t be showing Tim Burton’s new film, claiming it would, “set a new benchmark, leading to a 12-week window becoming rapidly standard.” Now the question is, is Odeon standing up to Disney’s bullying, or are they just painfully aware of that free admission pass you keep forgetting to use, acquired when the sound kept cutting out on Return of the King ? Goddammit, you’re never going to get to use that thing.

The Pirates of the Caribbean series continues to attract a surprisingly respectable list of actors to its ever expanding cast. Heat Vision tells us Ian McShane, best known to US audiences for his roles on Deadwood and commercials for that show with all the fucking butterfly imagery, is in talks to join the latest chapter of the franchise, On Stranger Tides . If signed, McShane would play Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, the second most dastardly pirate ever. And who might be playing the most dastardly pirate? You. If you illegally download Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides rather than purchase it on DisneyDVD and Blu-ray. This post presented by Disney and the swashbuckling adventure of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” in theaters 2011!

The ridiculously direct literalness of Disney’s High School Musical worked for them so well, the studio has decided to go for it again. Variety reports Disney is currently developing a new film about some kids going to prom.That they’re going to call Prom . Because it’s about prom. The comedy will likely feature a High School Musical -like cast of mostly unknowns (unknown until they’re hanging in my locker!); Joe Nussbaum, whose résumé includes the modernized, Amanda Bynes-starring Snow White update, Sydney White , and the straight-to-video American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile , will expertly direct. It sounds like everyone is working really hard to bring us the best Prom ever, guys, so let’s all have a great time and create some Memories To Last a Lifetime!

SOMETHING’S HAPPENING. ComingSoon has some shots from one of the packages the Tron Legacy marketing team has been sending around. Inside: a plastic Tron bit perfect for topping a really nerdy Christmas tree and a link to this page , which code crackers (anyone who can read binary) have determined is a clock counting down to Wednesday, 5:30 PM Eastern. Could this mean a trailer will be arriving next week? Or is the Master Control Program just really excited about the episode of Reba The CW will be showing? It’s impossible to know.

Welp, “the creators of Finding Nemo , Up , and WALL-E ,” whoever they may be, have made something else that will probably be beloved by young and old alike. Some sort of “toy” “story” “3″?

Hoping to add some sexy ladyparts to the Pirates of the Caribbeans since the departure of Keira Knightley, Disney is in talks with Penelope Cruz to join the upcoming sequel, On Stranger Tides . Details of her character are still unknown, but THR claims “she is to be Sparrow’s foil and equal in many ways.” Sounds like some sexy tension! Or maybe I’m still just worked up from seeing Tyrese’s sexy Twitter icon. I’m going to be smothering in that sensuality for days.

Ever wondered what Disney princesses would look like dressed as their villains ? WELL WONDER NO MORE MY CARTOON -LOVING COMPADRES! Because they’d look like this.
