Fantasy movies a hit overseas
'Compass' is latest family-friendly pic to thrive
By DAVE MCNARY
Hollywood knows there's no such thing as a sure thing in the international marketplace, but it's found a consistent sweet spot outside the United States: fantasy-adventure films aimed at families.
"The Golden Compass" has become the latest in a long line of sword-and-sorcery pics that are mining gold outside the United States, with four times as much coin (on its way to $300 million) overseas as it took in domestically.
"Compass" has many reasons for this discrepancy. But the film is far from the only one with such a gap. The five Harry Potters, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" trilogies and "The Chronicles of Narnia" took in roughly two-thirds of their grosses internationally; several other recent fantasy titles such as "Enchanted," "Stardust" and "Eragon" have also shown far more traction outside the United States.
"Stardust," for example, was a dud domestically with $39 million but then regained its shine overseas with nearly $100 million.
Paramount Intl. president Andrew Cripps points to extensive promotional efforts that established British-made "Stardust" as a family-friendly film once it opened internationally. "Fantasy adds an element that makes it much more accessible," Cripps contends.
So why do stories about wizards, fairies and talking animals score in foreign countries? Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Motion Picture Group, believes part of the appeal is the nonspecific -- although often vaguely British -- locations.
"The fantasy genre travels exceptionally well, partly because there's nothing that makes it geographically unique," he notes. "For example, the Narnia films don't take place in any specific country and its themes are pretty universal -- good vs. evil, loyalty, the family sticking together."
Disney is making its second and third runs at "Narnia" with "Prince Caspian" opening in mid-May and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" in pre-production for a 2010 release. Zoradi's bullish on "Caspian," which will open on a staggered pattern between May and July to coincide with school vacations.
"With 'Caspian,' we're aging it up significantly, with Ben Barnes starring and more action and edginess than the first," Zoradi adds. He's hoping that the Mouse House can eventually make movies from all seven books in the C.S. Lewis "Narnia" series.
"We knew we had seven books to work with when we began on it so the first wasn't just launching a movie; it was starting a worldwide franchise, as with 'Pirates,' " he adds. "Doing multiple films is what justifies the enormous cost of the individual productions."
Disney's also hoping it can get a fourth "Pirates" going, and Warner Bros. has the sixth Potter pic ("Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince") set for late this year. While a Warner sequel to "The Golden Compass" is possible, it seems a given that the studio will eventually make "The Hobbit" with MGM as a logical extension to "The Lord of the Rings."
Disney's also hoping to turn "Enchanted" -- which is nearing $200 million overseas -- into a franchise. "Enchanted" producer Barry Josephson, who spent a decade developing the project, believes the foreign numbers were exceptional given the lack of awareness of the movie prior to its opening.
"We got a lot of crossover audiences in foreign markets -- people from outside the target audience of young girls," he notes. "That happened because it was original enough to make it seem very fresh, but there were also universal themes that broadened its appeal."
Hollywood execs handling foreign distribution contend that they can work magic offshore, given enough time to give a film a local feel via such means as signing up local stars for dubbing duties. The trick is to still offer all the trappings of a must-see tentpole picture since international audiences -- who attend films less regularly than those in the U.S. -- tend to opt for "event" type of films where the entire family attends at once.
That's been the case for years with animated films, perhaps the most dependable overseas performers. Last year's "Shrek the Third," "Ratatouille," "The Simpsons Movie" and "Bee Movie" combined for $1.4 billion in foreign grosses.
Par's also expecting decent overseas business from "The Spiderwick Chronicles," with a run that's likely to easily exceed the domestic total, now at $60 million. And producer Josephson is planning another fantasy for Fox called "They Came From Upstairs," centered on two families who discover aliens upstairs in their vacation cabin.
"Upstairs" is shooting in New Zealand, and Josephson believes the aliens are endearing enough to have worldwide appeal and perhaps launch another franchise.
"I think 'They Came From Upstairs' is a family movie with a lot of crossover potential," he adds. "I'm hopeful that we'll get a Christmas release."
NZ's just what she's been looking for
Hollywood star Ashley Tisdale isn't shy about why she likes New Zealand.
"Kiwis are awesome," she says, between takes on the set of her new movie. "They're really cute, too."
The 22-year-old actress - who shot to fame with young viewers as spoilt rich girl Sharpay Evans in the Disney hit High School Musical - has been in New Zealand for four weeks, shooting the $60 million comedy, They Came From Upstairs.
Tisdale's first feature is set in a rambling old villa transported from Remuera to a farm in North Auckland. Security is tight, and film-makers have asked to keep the location secret. But fans still managed to find the star filming at Narrow Neck Beach.
"There were, like, 20 guys around my age, standing on the side," she says. "I came out and they were like, whistling and stuff. I don't really have that a lot. I usually get the young kids but seeing, like, a bunch of guys waiting, I was like, 'Wow, that's awesome, I don't know what to do. Should I go over and talk to them?"'
Fans might have a better chance of chatting with the star when she's not working. Some of her favourite spots are Waiheke Island, Takapuna beach and Mission Bay. She'll be in New Zealand with her mother until mid-March but before she returns to LA, she hopes to see Auckland band Goodnight Nurse play live.
"I saw their music video on MTV. I absolutely love them, I'm a really big fan."
Described as Gremlins meets Home Alone, the film co-stars acting veteran Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) and is produced by Barry Josephson (Enchanted, Men In Black). Tisdale plays a teenager forced to defend the family holiday home from invading aliens.
After the two Top 20 singles "He Said She Said" and "Not Like That," Ashley Tisdale will continue her sucesss by releasing her next single "Suddenly" in Germany during the summer. She is also currently working on her 2nd album, which is scheduled to be released later on this year.
It is not much news, but it is something. I am really looking foward to hearing new music from Mizz Tizz. Ashley is still filming in New Zealand, which is why we have not seen new pics for almost a month. Hopefully, we will see some new pics soon!

Some more pictures from People's magazine photoshoot have been realeased. She looks amazing in all of them! And one of them is used for the new banner I made
Sharpay Gets A Possible Mini-Clone
Just recently, E! News confirmed that Ali Lohan (the younger sister of actress and singer Lindsay Lohan) will be trying out for a role in the upcoming "High School Musical 3" theatrical film. The role that she hopes to get is very similar to Ashley's character Sharpay Evans. Stay tuned for more info!
Ashley Tisdale: No Plans for Boob Job
Ashley Tisdale may have gotten a nose job for a deviated septum, but that is where she draws the line.
"Completely false," her rep says in the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, when asked if the High School Musical singer, 22, wants to get a boob job.
Star magazine recently reported that Tisdale had contemplated the procedure.
Ashley's New grandmother
Doris Roberts will play Ashley Tisdale's grandmother in the 20th Century Fox movie "They Came From Upstairs," which is shooting in New Zealand.
The 20th Century Fox project revolves around a family who defend their Maine summer home after an invasion of aliens.
"Upstairs" marks the third feature for Roberts since the end of her nine-year stint as an intrusive mom on "Everybody Loves Raymond" in 2005. Her other roles were in the Fox comedy "Grandma's Boy" and Miramax's "Keeping Up With the Steins."
New OK! Magazine pictures
There new pictures of Ashley's OK! Magazine photoshoot from 2007! These pictures were taken by photographer Antoine Verglas. She looks great on these pictures.
A new Ashley Tisdale video has surfaced on YouTube that you’ll want to check out. It’s from her Fall RED Marc Ecko Tour and features pro shot clips that have been edited to Headstrong, Not Like That and He Said, She Said.
Marc Ecko Promo Pics and Behind the Scenes video
New behind the scenes video and promo pictures from red by Marc Ecko ad were added. Ashley really does look great in them. I want to see pics of how she looked in the other outfits. Well here are the pics and video.
As for news on her sophomore album, I talked to a source from Warner Bros. and she said that although Ashley is working on her album, she has not recorded yet, she is the process of writing and listening to demos. She gave a rough time that she may start recording late in the spring or early summer.
