Monte Carlo starring Selena Gomez has a new release date. The film’s opening date of February 11th has changed to July 1st, 2011.

The reason for the switch is perhaps the competition in February – Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never is set for the Valentine’s Day weekend market and Sel’s Carlo costar Leighton Meester, has The Roommate out the week before February 4th. Both of those films will draw heavily from the same crowd of moviegoers. The date in July pits it against Transformers: Dark of the Moon – a much different fan base.

Katie Cassidy and Cory Monteith costar in the romantic comedy about three girls on vacation in Paris who head to Monte Carlo after being mistaken for an heiress and find themselves at the center of attention.

The Emma Roberts film, The Winning Season, is finally getting a release date (September 3rd) and Hollywood Crush has a posted great new clip with Emma.

The sports comedy, starring Sam Rockwell as the washed up coach trying for a shot at redemption by taking on the local girls varsity basketball team, also has Rooney Mara (the actress cast in the big screen adaptation of the book The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and Shareeka Epps (she was amazing in Half-Nelson with Ryan Gosling.)

Epps is also in Yelling to the Sky with Gabourey Sidibe and Zoe Kravitz. Mara will be onscreen next in The Social Network and Roberts is working on Scream 4 with Hayden Panettiere. Some amazing, high profile projects for all.

Roberts and Epps are great in this little teaser. What do you think?

Logan Lerman is getting used to Daniel Radcliffe comparisons. The actor is the star of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief due in theaters in February, and the similarities to Radcliffe’s popular role (the title character to a very popular series of hero quest books turned into films,) Lerman is trying to differentiate the two:

“I’m being compared to Daniel Radcliffe a lot these days,” says Lerman. “Honestly, my character doesn’t have much in common with Harry Potter besides the fact that he’s an unlikely hero who’s thrown into a huge situation.”

The actor, who is costarring with some of Hollywood’s biggest talent (Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman)  says he is focused on his character but would be up for the massive fame that is potential with this movie.

“I’ve been studying mythology for months, reading about Perseus, Poseidon, Apollo, Medusa,” Logan says. “I don’t know if the movie will reach Twilight levels of obsession, but if it does, I’m ready for it!”

I hope this movie does well. The books are enjoyable and the trailer looks like it will do justice to the novels by Rick Riordan.

The movie hits theaters February 12, 2010. Anyone else looking forward to this?

The sixth installment of the magical wizarding world was originally set for a fall 2009 release, then moved to July 17th. Now, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince will come out in theaters on July 15th 2009.

Has Twilight  completely replaced your interest in Harry Potter? Or will you see both?
