The first teaser trailer for director Troy Nixey (Latchkey's Lament) new horror movie, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, debuted at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, but now that the movie has secured a distributor a full-length theatrical trailer has finally been released. Written (with Matthew Robbins) and produced by Guillermo del Toro, the movie is a remake of the 1973 made-for-TV movie of the same name and tells the story of a young girl (Bailee Madison) who is sent to live with her her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) and unwittingly awakens the evil creatures living in the basement of the mansion that they are renovating.

If you missed it the first time around, you have a second chance to catch the 8-part movie event this weekend on ReelzChannel. The Kennedys will air in its entirety over Saturday and Sunday. ReelzChannel CEO, Stan Hubbard, commented on the network's record-breaking number of viewers who tuned in for the original run.
Viewers responded strongly to the tightly scheduled mini-series format that played out over nine nights during the World Premiere week. The intensity of viewing was so remarkably consistent on an episode by episode basis, we’re doing it again in an even tighter schedule.

ReelzChannel Celebrity Rundown
Maksim Chmerkovskiy dropped Kirstie Alley on last night's Dancing With the Stars, but the couple recovered nicely to score in the middle of the pack. The chivalrous Chmerkovskiy blamed the accident on a "charlie horse," not the fact that his partner outweighs him by at least 10 pounds.

Rihanna's hit single "S&M" is clearly autobiographical, as she tells Rolling Stone that she's into the rough stuff. "Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of your s**t. That's fun to me...I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. I'd rather have him use his hands."

As the New York Daily News speculates on the top five possible replacements for Katie Couric's anchor chair at the CBS Evening News, TMZ reports 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley is the choice of CBS chairman Jeff Fager to turn around the flagging broadcast.

Sean Hayes, best known as the guy from Will and Grace, has joined Will Sasso as a stooge in the Farrely brothers Three Stooges movie. (The role of Moe is still up for grabs.) The pic was originally set to star A-listers Sean Penn as Larry, Jim Carrey as Curly, and Benicio del Toro as Moe.

Former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff still has it, as the 58 year-old star is dating 31 year-old Welsh model/factory worker and Pamela Anderson lookalike Hayley Roberts.

Jane Fonda has weighed in on The Kennedys miniseries on her blog, calling it "pretty good," and praising the performance of Katie Holmes as Jackie. "Kate does Jackie really well, I think. It's interesting. I knew the Kennedys and never knew that Jackie wanted a divorce before Jack ran for president. Didn't realize the extent to which father Joe ran the show. Talk about patriarchy! In that family it was quintessential!"
Be sure to tune into ReelzChannel TV tonight at 8ET and 8PT for the third episode of The Kennedys.

It was a huge night for ReelzChannel and The Kennedys.
1.9 million people watched the world premiere of the The Kennedys, a record for ReelzChannel. The Kennedys received a 2.5 gross household coverage area rating. For comparison, the popular Mad Men had 2.3 million viewers for its season three finale.
Acquiring The Kennedys after The History Channel opted to not air the eight-part movie proved to be a successful risk for ReelzChannel and CEO Stan E. Hubbard.
Viewers across America showed their ongoing fascination with the Kennedy family and, specifically, their desire to see such a star-studded cast in the highly-anticipated The Kennedys. In acquiring The Kennedys, our aim was to give viewers an opportunity to watch an incredible movie event with massive star power and to also put a spotlight on our network like never before. Viewers proved they could find our relatively new and independent network and when they did, Greg, Barry, Katie and Tom delivered!
