“The Wizard of Oz” had its 70th anniversary earlier this year and many theaters played the film nationwide to celebrate. Apparently the event was successful enough to throw an encore, which will play for one night only on November 17, at 6:30 P.M.

Now through February 7, LACMA is holding an exhibition on comic books from India. “Heroes and Villains: The Battle for Good in India’s Comics” places modern-day comic retellings of Indian myths alongside the museum’s historical collection of Indian paintings and “examines the legacy of India’s divine heroes and heroines in contemporary South Asian culture through the comic book genre.”

LACMA Film Program

Weekends will be Audrey Hepburn nights, featuring “Charade,” “Wait Until Dark,” “War and Peace,” and “My Fair Lady.” A sneak preview of “Fantastic Mr. Fox” will be held November 10, at 7:30 P.M. Visit their full schedule for times and other films in the program.

Aero Theatre

Tomorrow night is a 25th-anniversary screening of David Lynch’s “Dune,” followed the next night by a disaster triple feature: “Earthquake,” “The Towering Inferno,” and “The Poseidon Adventure.” Also this month are “Carrie,” “Citizen Kane,” “Singin’ in the Rain,” and many more classics.

New Beverly Cinema

The New Beverly holds really fun midnight features. (Unfortunately for me, I can no longer stay up that late.) Among them are “Near Dark,” “Teenage Mother,” “Re-Animator,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Idiocracy,” and “Reservoir Dogs.” For squares like me, there are still plenty of classics, cult classics, and other odd novelties of a bygone era to enjoy earlier in the day.

Cinefamily

The non-profit Cinefamily restored the Silent Movie Theatre in L.A. recently and though I haven’t visited yet, I’m dying to see not only the location but how they run the place. They have a fascinating schedule and I highly suggest you check them out (and let me know how it is).

The following week is a doozy. The “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon,” arrives on the 20th. Say what you will about the first installment (if you even bothered seeing it), but much like M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening” of the same year, I found “Twilight” to be a brilliant (though unintended) comedy. Go in expecting to laugh hysterically and you’ll have a wonderful time. I’d love to see John Woo’s return to China, “Red Cliff,” a war epic set during the Han dynasty that has been called the most expensive Asian film to date. But what I am anticipating the most this month is the great director Werner Herzog’s remake of “Bad Lieutenant,” starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes. The film looks like a drug-fueled acting wonderland.

The adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s latest novel, “The Road,” has received some rather tepid reviews, while “Ninja Assassin’s” computer-animated blood and lack of ninjas has flat-out bored many a critic. In New York City and Los Angeles, Zac Efron will strut his stuff in “Me and Orson Welles.” There are also plenty of wonderful films being screened in revival houses this month, so keep an eye on your local cinema. Here’s what’s coming for the month of November.

I have yet to see “Where the Wild Things Are” or the Coens’ “A Serious Man,” but “Zombieland” and “The Invention of Lying” were a real blast. Out now in limited release that may be of interest are “An Education,” “Bronson,” and “Black Dynamite.” The controversial “Antichrist” hits theaters in Los Angeles and New York next weekend, followed by Michael Jackson’s concert rehearsal footage in “This Is It” and the slow-burn horror flick “The House of the Devil,” among others. For the younger set, next week’s “Cirque du Freak” looks like a heck of a lot of fun.

Looks like Germans loved the revisionist history of “Inglourious Basterds.”

Meanwhile, director Joe Lynch (”Wrong Turn 2″) is next making “The Knights of Badassdom,” which John Landis describes as a “heavy metal horror adventure;” Rob Zombie would love to make a “nasty,” “realistic” pirate movie; and the Weinstein Company has pre-bought “The King’s Speech,” about a stuttering King George VI.

Photos

• “The Host 2“—This prequel will have none of the cast or crew returning from the first, exquisite film.
• “MacGruber“—Ryan Phillippe, Will Forte, and Kristen Wiig star in this film based on a “Saturday Night Live” skit that spoofs “MacGyver.”
• “Machete“—Robert Rodriguez is expanding his fake trailer from “Grindhouse” into a feature-length film starring Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, and Lindsay Lohan.

In the Grave

Variety’s head critic Todd McCarthy destroyed the long-awaited adaptation of author Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road,” saying it “falls dispiritingly short on every front, showing clear signs of being test-screened and futzed with to death.” He believes the star, Viggo Mortensen, “lacks the gravitas to carry the picture; suddenly resembling Gabby Hayes with his whiskers and wayward hair,” and says that director John Hillcoat “just hopscotches from scene to scene in almost random fashion without any sense of pacing or dramatic modulation.” The story, about a father and son wandering a post-apocalyptic wasteland, does flit from scene to scene, but it also does have a “sense of pacing” and “dramatic modulation.” Such a brutal review does not sound good for the film’s Oscar prospects, which is especially bad for the struggling Weinstein Company.

The “Downfall” parodies have officially come to an end:

Posters

• “2012“—Roland Emmerich’s (”Independence Day,” “The Day After Tomorrow”) latest disaster epic comes out November 13.
• “House“—The sixth season of Hugh Laurie’s medical drama television show debuts September 21.
• “Where the Wild Things Are“—There is also a new New York Times Magazine article that starts off by quoting my colleague Devin Faraci. That’s twice for him this year. Congrats!

Back From the Dead

Continuing the LACMA Misadventures, Los Angeles County Museum of Art director Michael Govan announced that he plans to raise the film program’s budget from $350,000 to $500,000 and raise between $5 million and $6 million in endowments. But his choice of naming the new $50 museum membership add-on “CineClub” infringes on UCLA’s three-year-old “Cineclub” program and he has said that the new club will be renamed immediately. Also, the Los Angeles Times recently ran a photo gallery with quotes from major movie directors remembering the museum’s film program.

Trailers

• “The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day“—Troy Duffy returns after a decade to continue his story of two brothers out for justice.
• “Defendor“—TAJN-fave Woody Harrelson stars as a deluded crime fighter in this comedy with Sandra Oh, Kat Dennings, and Elias Koteas.
• “Extract“—Mike Judge’s old characters, Beavis and Butt-head, introduce some clips from his new comedy.
• “Fantastic Mr. Fox“—A new behind-the-scenes featurette on Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated film that still somehow stays within his distinctive visual style.
• “Leslie, My Name Is Evil“—A jury member at a Manson Family trial falls in love with the defendant. And it’s a comedy.
• “El Superbeasto“—Some very quick cuts from Rob Zombie’s long-awaited dirty, dirty animated film.

Unoriginal Content

Book Adaptations of the Week—John Goodman plays Paul Bunyon and Jeff Foxworthy is his faithful blue ox, Babe, in MGM’s animated “Bunyon & Babe,” about an evil developer (Kelsey Grammar) trying to ruin a small town. Paul W.S. Anderson (”Alien vs. Predator”) and Andrew Davies (”Bridget Jones’ Diary”) are working together on a “Three Musketeers” flick in 3D! (sigh)

Comic Adaptations of the Week—Jon Favreau is directing Robert Downey, Jr., in D.W. Mark Fergus’ and Hawk Ostby’s (”Iron Man”) script for “Cowboys and Aliens” for producers Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard, though Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (”Transformers”) are rewriting it with Damon Lindelof (”Lost”) first. Guy Ritchie (”RocknRolla,” the upcoming “Sherlock Holmes”) will direct Don Payne’s (”Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”) PG-13 script for “Lobo” for Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Rona. Michel Gondry’s “The Green Hornet” finally started shooting three days ago with Seth Rogen, Edward James Olmos, Tom Wilkinson, and David Harbour. Nicolas Cage is still in negotiations to appear in the film, which is scheduled to debut December 17, 2010.

Sequels of the Week—”Tron Legacy,” which has started post-production work, will be in theaters on December 10, 2010, and Randi Mayem Singer is writing “Big Momma’s House 3.”

Remake of the Week—Rebecca De Mornay will star in director Darren Lynn Bousman’s (”Saw 2-4,” “Repo! The Genetic Opera”) “Mother’s Day.”

Final Words

“True Blood” is one of the best shows on television right now and I just recently figured out the only way to describe it: it’s the flamboyant gay guy of TV shows. And I mean that in the best way possible. It started out shaky, trying to figure out how to combine comedy and horror and sex and camp and really only started to find its voice halfway through the first season. Now that its second season is coming to an end, I’m amazed to see how far this show has progressed. It’s one of only a handful of series that I feel comfortable rewatching over and over and tonight is our chance for a whole mini-marathon. In anticipation of next week’s season finale, HBO is using this week’s timeslot to air the previous three episodes to get everyone caught up for the big showdown between the maenad, Maryann Forrester (played by the awesome Michelle Forbes), and Anna Paquin’s telepathic protagonist, Sookie Stackhouse. The festivities start at 9 P.M.

September 4

• All About Steve
• Carriers
• Extract
• Gamer
• No Impact Man: The Documentary [limited]

“All About Steve” and “Gamer” could be nice diversions, but the real meat this weekend is Mike Judge’s (”Office Space”) new comedy, “Extract,” and the documentary “No Impact Man,” about a family that tries to go a whole year without making a net environmental impact.

September 9

• 9

September 11

• I Can Do Bad All By Myself
• Sorority Row
• Whiteout
• The September Issue [limited]

Word on the long-delayed adaptation of the graphic novel “Whiteout” is terrible and the only things worth seeing this weekend are “9″ and “The September Issue.” Tim Burton produced the Shane Acker animated film “9,” which is based on Acker’s short film of the same name. “September Issue” documents the production of Vogue magazine’s biggest issue of the year, and as frivolous as that may seem, the focus on editor in chief Anna Wintour and her staff has been called “a text on how to get the best work out of people by treating them with kindness and respect,” a far cry from Meryl Streep’s caricature in “The Devil Wears Prada.”

September 18

• Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
• Jennifer’s Body
• Love Happens
• Bright Star [limited]
• The Informant! [limited]

I did not like “Juno.” I’m going to be real upfront about that. But that is not stopping me from eagerly awaiting screenwriter Diablo Cody’s second feature, “Jennifer’s Body,” a tongue-in-cheek horror film starring Megan Fox as a real man eater. Also of interest is Steven Soderbergh’s next film, “The Informant!” Matt Damon is surrounded by a terrific cast in this dark comedy about corporate whistleblowing.

September 23

• Astro Boy

September 25

• Coco Before Chanel
• Fame
• Pandorum
• Surrogates
• Brief Interviews with Hideous Men [limited]

“Pandorum” has been really hard to pin down. Various promotional items place it either as a psychological space thriller or an alien-on-the-loose film. Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster star as a pair of crew members on a spaceship who awaken with amnesia and realize they may not be alone. Bruce Willis’ next film is based on the comic book “Surrogates,” about an entire population that uses robot avatars to interact in the physical world. Fans of the late author David Foster Wallace will be interested in “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men,” based off of his short stories and directed by actor John Krasinski of TV’s “The Office.”

October 2

• Capitalism: A Love Story
• The Invention of Lying
• A Serious Man
• Whip It
• Zombieland
• More Than a Game [limited]
• St. Trinian’s [limited]

This will be a great weekend: “A Serious Man,” “The Invention of Lying,” and “Zombieland” are sure to be crowd pleasers, not to mention Michael Moore’s new documentary, “Capitalism,” and Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, “Whip It.”

Jon Hamm (”Mad Men”) has joined Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, and Carla Gugino in Zack Snyder’s follow-up to “Watchmen,” the 1950s-set “dark, hardcore, actiony” story, titled “Sucker Punch,” about a girl sent to a mental hospital by her evil stepfather. Before she’s to be lobotomized, she imagines a fantasy world that sounds an awful lot like a very, very violent “Wizard of Oz.”

Continuing the theme of over-the-top violence, Nicolas Cage will star in “Drive Angry,” Patrick Lussier’s follow-up to his 3D remake of “My Bloody Valentine.” Cage plays a father whose daughter is killed and finds his granddaughter kidnapped. He then goes on a crazy road rampage revenge streak. Production starts in April in Louisiana.

To calm things down (though only a bit, looking back at Gus van Sant’s entire filmography) Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Bryce Howard will be producing Jason Lew’s first screenplay, “Restless,” with van Sant set to direct. The story is unknown, but it’s said to be a “contemporary and distinctive take on young love.” Van Sant last directed “Milk” and is also set to adapt “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.”

Comic Adaptations of the Week—There’s more drama in the Marvel/Disney acquisition. Fox seems to be a little blue about the whole situation, but they do have one ace up their sleeves: as long as they make more movies based on the Marvel characters to which they own the rights, said rights will be theirs “in perpetuity.” Which is why, right after the Disney deal was announced, Fox appointed Akiva Goldsman as producer of a “Fantastic Four” reboot, with “Heroes” scribe Michael Green on scripting duty. Also in this perpetual rights standoff are the characters from “X-Men,” “Daredevil,” and “Silver Surfer.” Meanwhile, “The Green Hornet” has been moved from June of 2010 to December, which will give more time for post-production and Comic-Con marketing, and Nikolaj Arcel (”Island of Lost Souls”) will be directing “Deadman” for Guillermo del Toro.

Sequels of the Week—Peter Craig will write “Bad Boys 3” for Columbia Pictures and the Weinstein Company has decided to make a third “Halloween” film in 3D for next summer, though it’s not known if writer/director Rob Zombie will return.

Final Words

The Academy Awards are turning Communist!

Under the deal, Disney gets all of Marvel’s 5,000+ characters, including Iron Man, Spider-Man, the X-Men, Captain America, the Fantastic Four, and Thor. What Disney won’t get are some of the film and theme park rights, at least not right away. Marvel’s deals with several studios will remain, including “Spider-Man” at Sony, “X-Men” at Fox, and the five remaining pictures with Paramount, which includes “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” “The First Avenger: Captain America,” “The Avengers,” and possibly “Ant-Man.” Universal Studios also has its Marvel-based attractions in theme parks across the world. Once the deals expire Disney controls everything, but this won’t be for up to a decade or more. Paramount will really be feeling the hurt as it already lost DreamWorks to Disney earlier this year.

Disney will benefit tremendously; DVD sales, ABC advertising, and consumer spending at theme parks have all been sagging lately, contributing to the 26 percent drop in Disney’s profits in the third quarter. Expect to see Marvel characters popping up in Disney theme parks and consumer products and be used to make further inroads into the young boys demographic. Disney’s Princesses and “Hannah Montana” have been extremely popular with girls, but it’s been hard for the company to attract the opposite sex. Marvel would make a good addition to their new Disney XD channel. There are also rumblings about something brewing between Marvel and Pixar. CHUD reports that Pixar’s “John Lasseter and Marvel honchos recently met and got so excited the suits had to tell them to calm down, the deal wasn’t done yet.”

Marvel itself will be relatively unaffected. Marvel Studios won’t be moving from its Manhattan Beach headquarters and, as Bob Iger, president and CEO of Disney, said, “if it’s not broke” then Disney won’t interfere on the movie production side of things. This will also help sell comics, which is always a good thing for a comic book company. In summary, Marvel gets more money to play with and Disney gets more merchandise to sell.

Iger said in a statement: “This transaction combines Marvel’s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney’s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories.”

To balance that off, we also have two dumb stories today. Director James McTeigue (”V For Vendetta”) is going to direct “The Raven,” which imagines Edgar Allen Poe hunting a serial killer who models his kills on stories Poe himself has written. Secondly, prepare yourself for SIX Shakespeare plays filmed in 3D!!! Expect to be assaulted by “a ghost that hovers in front of the aud’s eyes, cannon fire that flies into the auditorium and a sword fight that appears to happen all around viewers.” Ah, literature.

Bryan Singer (”The Usual Suspects,” “X-Men,” “Superman Returns,” “Valkyrie”) has a whole lot on his plate: he might be making a cinematic remake of “Battlestar Galactica,” might be remaking “Excalibur,” and might be making up with Fox and returning to his franchise with “X-Men: First Class.” His next project though will most likely be “Jack the Giant Killer,” “a riff on the Jack and the Beanstalk legend that was developed by New Line with scripters Darren Lemke and Mark Bomback and producer Neal Moritz.”

In the Grave

Universal has moved “The Wolfman” from a fall release date to February 2010, signs that the studio has no confidence in the film whatsoever. A more puzzling release date change is that of Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island.” The film has also been moved to February, but rumors are that it’s due to the economy; Paramount reportedly does not have enough money to publicize the film as a nominee for the Academy Awards. Lastly, “The Green Lantern” itself may not be dead, but its original shooting location is. Due to the rising value of Australian currency, Warner Brothers has decided to move the production from down under to the big easy, New Orleans. Shooting is still scheduled for some time next year.

Back From the Dead

Just recently I reported that the LACMA film program is shutting down in the next couple of months, but just as quickly a $150,000 pledge swooped in to save the day. The Los Angeles Times says that “the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., which organizes the annual Golden Globe Awards, and Time Warner Cable, in association with Ovation TV, have each agreed to put up $75,000 toward the LACMA film program, which had been scheduled to close in October.” The cable companies also promised to spend an additional $1.5 million across the nation to market the film program. Unfortunately this will only last them until June of next year, so please continue attending, donating, and spreading the word.

John Carpenter is back in the director’s chair! He hasn’t made a film since 2001’s “Ghosts of Mars,” and though he did direct a couple episodes of “Masters of Horror,” it just hasn’t been the same without him. He’s already deep into filming “The Ward,” about a mental hospital patient (Amber Heard) plagued by a ghost.

Also coming out of the woodwork is John Landis, who is directing “Burke and Hare,” about the duo who murdered up to 30 people and sold their bodies to science in 1800s Scotland. As if that wasn’t awesome enough, Simon Pegg is set to star as one of the two killers.

Sony Pictures Classics might possibly distribute Terry Gilliam’s latest film, “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus,” Heath Ledger’s final and unfinished role, which was completed by Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell. The film has already had international distribution for quite some time, which is set for the end of the year. Meanwhile, Lionsgate has picked up “Kick-Ass,” based on Mark Millar’s comic book, for 3,500 theaters. Both films were previewed at this year’s Comic-Con before they even had distribution deals.

Book Adaptations of the Week—Steven Spielberg will direct the late Michael Crichton’s soon-to-be-published “Pirate Latitudes.” Robert Downey, Jr., will take over the role Tom Cruise originated as the vampire Lestat in a reboot of Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles.” Randall Wallace (”Braveheart,” “Pearl Harbor”) will rewrite Justin Marks’ (”Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li”) script for McG’s “Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” Al Gough and Miles Millar (”Smallville”) will be adapting James Frey’s (a fake memoir) and Jobie Hughes’ teen sci-fi novel, “I Am Number Four,” for Michael Bay (overloaded films). Lastly, “Napoleon Dynamite’s” Jon Heder will star in Bradley Denton’s sci-fi novel “Buddy Holly is Alive and Well on Ganymede.”

Comic Adaptations of the Week—Frank Darabont will adapt “The Walking Dead” as a series for the AMC television network.

Music Adaptation of the Week—Director Bobcat Goldthwait (the upcoming comedy “World’s Greatest Dad”) is next working on a movie about a spree killer. But after that he’s heading into musicals, and more precisely a musical based on an obscure Kinks rock opera called “Schoolboys in Disgrace.”

Biopics of the Week—Robin Williams has reportedly been asked to play singer Susan Boyle, who became famous after being ridiculed and then showing a ton of talent on “Britain’s Got Talent.” Robert Redford will direct “The Conspirator,” about Mary Surratt, who was involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. Paul Giamatti will play Larry in the Farrelly Brothers’ “Three Stooges” even though both Sean Penn and Jim Carrey have dropped out. Producer David Permut has picked up the rights to “A Life in the Day,” by Tony Gittelson, about Beatles manager Brian Epstein.

Toy Adaptation of the Week—Producer Dan Lin (”Shorts,” “Sherlock Holmes”), with the help of Warner Brothers and screenwriters Kevin and Dan Hageman, will attempt to adapt Hasbro’s Lego building blocks into a live-action/CGI feature film.

Sequels of the Week—Director Peter Berg hints that there might be another superpowered god guy in “Hancock 2” and writers Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara have been hired to try to possibly fit that into the plot. Ericson Core will direct “XXX 3.”

Remakes of the Week—James Woods and Willa Holland have joined James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, and Alexander Skarsgard (”True Blood”) in the cast of Rod Lurie’s “Straw Dogs.” Bruce Joel Rubin (”Ghost,” “The Time Traveler’s Wife”) will remake the 2002 Japanese film “Yomigaeri” (”Resurrection”) as “Rainbow Bridge.” Lastly, fresh off of “Halloween 2,” Rob Zombie will direct “The Blob.”
