Peter Berg Reveals 'Friday Night Lights' Movie Details

The script for a spin-off movie for the "Friday Night Lights" TV series is close to being finished, but director Peter Berg said that his cast might be too busy with their other gigs to commit to it right now. In other parts of the web, Jaden Smith posted a new image from the Costa Rica set of "After Earth," Andrew Stanton is already working on a "John Carter" sequel and director Brian Taylor has been tapped to helm a "Twisted Metal" feature adaptation. It's February 15, and you're checking in for today's daily news round up. Peter Berg Promises "Friday Night Lights" Movie Still On Its Way Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. At least that seems to be the mentality director Peter Berg and showrunner Jason Katims are having when it comes to creating a "Friday Night Lights" movie. Berg told MTV News that Katims is close to finishing the script for a second "Friday Night Lights" movie that parallels the real-life story of Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach. The problem with bringing the movie together, though, is that the majority of "Friday Night Lights'" stars have moved on to bigger things and now have pretty busy schedules. Jaden Smith Shows Off "After Earth" Costume Ah, the wonders of social networking. Jaden Smith took to his Who Say account to post a new image from his upcoming M. Night Shyamalan-directed sci-fi film "After Earth." In it, he can be seen wearing a futuristic one-piece outfit that seems to be an armor of some sort, and potentially wearing a weapon on his back. Despite our Shyamalan skepticism (sorry, "The Last Airbender"), this actually looks pretty cool. Director Andrew Stanton Already Outlining "John Carter" Sequel Ain't It Cool News conducted a lengthy interview with "John Carter" director Andrew Stanton in which he touched upon many elements of the upcoming movie "John Carter" and its prospective sequel. The interview is too long to summarize in this one blip, so I encourage you to read its entirety there. But one of the major points Stanton talked about was that he is already hard at work planning a "John Carter" sequel even though he's waiting to see how successful the first film is before he gets the go-ahead from Disney. Like most franchises in Hollywood nowadays, the "John Carter" films were conceptualized as a trilogy. "Ghost Rider" Co-Director To Helm "Twisted Metal" Adaptation Hot off this Friday's release of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," co-director Brian Taylor has been tapped to direct the upcoming adaptation of video game "Twisted Metal." Deadline has the news about Taylor's first solo directing effort. Taylor will both write and direct the film. "Game Of Thrones" Production Trailer Released Hungry for more "Game of Thrones"? Well you're in luck, because HBO just released a new production trailer about the show filming in Iceland.

Clive Davis 'devastated' by Houston's loss

Music mogul Clive Davis and Whitney Houston arrive at the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party held at the Beverly Hilton in 2007.An emotional Clive Davis called Whitney Houston "a beautiful person who had talent beyond compare" as he addressed the crowd at his pre-Grammy fete Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, hours after the death of his talented but troubled protege.Meanwhile, CBS and Grammy Awards producers scrambled at the Staples Center Saturday night to revise the broadcast to acknowledge Houston's death. Exec producer Ken Ehrlich wound up recruiting Jennifer Hudson to perform a tribute to Houston, as CBS confirmed in a tweet. There had been speculation that Davis, the mogul who launched Houston's career on his Arista label, would sit out his annual star-packed party after the shocking news of his protege's untimely passing earlier in the day at the age of 48, following years of well-publicized problems with substance abuse.Davis took the stage shortly after 9:30 p.m. and said that he was "personally devastated by the loss," noting that Houston had "graced this stage with her regal presence so many times." He said that Houston "would have wanted the music to go on" and said that her family had asked that the party's planned performances continue. He called for a moment of silence, which was followed by the appearance of Tony Bennett.Bennett surprised many in the crowd by calling on the government to legalize drugs, after noting the recent passings of Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse "and now the magnificent Whitney Houston."Bennett cited the situation in Amsterdam, where certain drugs are legal, which he called "a very sane city." After his remarks, Bennett segued into the Patti Austin hit "How Do You Keep the Music Playing."Recording Academy prexy and CEO Neil Portnow, who once worked for Davis, also spoke at the party, recalling the time he saw Houston perform an early solo show at Hollywood's Vine Street Bar and Grill. "You could tell this was going to be the star of all stars," he said.Portnow said they never considered canceling the party. "You could hear Whitney saying 'C'mon guys, this is show business. The show must go on.'" Houston's legacy, he added, "will be here forever.Sean Combs was also among the speakers who took the stage to laud Houston's memory.The vibe inside and outside the Hilton bordered on the surreal amid the media frenzy that erupted after word of Houston's death spread Saturday afternoon. Many of the music biz luminaries attending the party were visibly stunned by the news. At the Hilton, the usual paparazzi turnout Davis' bash grew exponentially as media outlets around the world sought reaction and details of Houston's death -- particularly because Davis played such an instrumental role in Houston's career. According to media reports, the singer was found dead at Hilton earlier in the day. A source at the hotel said singer Dionne Warwick and other members of Houston's family were seen entering the hotel late Saturday afternoon.With the media swarm, the security and police presence around the Hilton was dramatically increased, as uniformed officers virtually ringed the hotel's perimeter around Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards.Although the mood was somber, the affair continued largely business as usual with a red carpet for the stars and schmoozing in the International Ballroom prior to the sit-down dinner.
