While the Cheat Sheet is normally packed with the usual suspects – The Hunger Games, The Dark Knight Rises and Twilight, just to name a few – this time around, we’ve got some rather unique stories to share. Unfortunately for Howard Stern, he’s part of the bunch as a hole in his team led to the leaking of Super 8. Another punch to the gut also goes out to 3D technology, as a recent study proves the extra dimension does nothing to enhance a story, rather only offers the potential for discomfort. On the brighter side, Kenny Ortega snagged a dream of a gig, as he’s been recruited to direct…

How many horror movies have you seen where the hot young college kids drive out into the middle of nowhere for some boozing, only to be stalked and ultimately hacked to death by hillbillies?

There’s a reason filmmakers are churning out found footage films; they’ve got an inherent draw. Writer-producer Ryan McCoy is the latest to jump on the bandwagon with his film Evidence, a piece that follows four people into the canyons near LA. There’s no witch, rabid virus or ghosts here, rather a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on their home movie. The film’s trailer is up and running and not only proves the sub-genre’s got some juice left in it, but that McCoy knows how to work with the format and director Howie Askins has got the eye to bring McCoy’s script to life. On top of that, the guys must have…

It was also a busy week for trailers as far too many debuted to even squeeze into this Cheat Sheet….
