Mumblecore Mavens & Fox Searchlight Tap Marisa Tomei, John C. Reily and Jonah Hill For 'Safety Men'
We can't say much for mumblecore so far. It sure earned itself a lot of press last year and got film bloggers with an indie agenda all up in a tizzy, but it's either ok and charming or terrible. Nothing so far has been flat out great (then again, to be honest we haven't seen it all because some of it heavily turned us off). That said, Hollywood is banking on them improving and is giving them the keys to better actors and bigger budgets. The Duplass Brothers, the writer/directors behind "The Pu

Prejudicial Paparazzi? [Lawsuits]
A photographer in California says Keanu Reeves ran him over with his car last year, and he's suing the dull celebrity for damages. But the paparazzo's lawyer is asking the judge to keep the words "paparazzo" and "paparazzi" out of the trial, because he claims they're prejudicial. It's an interesting philosophical question: is it prejudicial to call someone a "soulless celebrity bloodsucker" if they are in fact that very thing? Probably not any moreso than calling Keanu Reeves a "mumbling stone-faced subhuma

Gerard Butler to Hunt Down Jennifer Aniston’s Bounty
I’m not sure what it is about the freezing cold winter mornings in Ohio, but the always seem to have odd effects on the way I think. Take for instance this morning, when I first took aim at this story about Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston’s upcoming project. According to Variety, Butler and Aniston have signed on to an untitled bounty hunter project in which Butler will play a bounty hunter that is contracted to retrieve his wife (Aniston), who has skipped bail. Oddly enough, my

Jonah Hill to Play Marisa Tomei's Jealous Teenage Son?
Variety reports that Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei, and John Reilly may form one of the stranger triangles in recent Hollywood filmdom. Reilly will play a divorced man who falls for single mom Tomei, and Hill will play Tomei's jealous teenage son, who also happens to be a 40-year-old studio executive. Okay, we made up that last part, but if the writers can fit it into the script somehow, it will make the whole thing more believable.

Oh, No ... It’s You Guys Again [A Call To The Bullpen]
Boomp3.comIt must’ve been a case of déjà vu for actor Jonah Hill as a photographer sneaked up on him again while jogging in Hollywood. However, this time around, the photographer did not tempt Hill with cupcakes or other delicious treats. Instead, the photographer was more interested in Hill’s beard and simply asked, “What’s the deal with the beard, dude?” Hill explained that he was growing the beard because he’s going to do a guest spot on Deadliest Catch as well as to make a stab at credibil

‘The Wrestler’ looks awesome …
When I first heard about Darren Aronofsky making a movie about a washed up wrestler I immediately thought it would be about Rick Flair or Hulk Hogan. To my surprise I found out it was about a fictional character played by Mickey Rourke! So it immediately brought back all of the memories of 80’s wrestling, and all of the superstars from back in the day. Here is the synopsis: Randy “Ram” Robinson (Mickey Rourke) is a professional wrestler from the 1980s who is forced to retire after a he

‘17 Again’ Trailer: Matthew Perry Lives the Dream; Zac Efron Wakes Up in a Nightmare
Tagline: "This is a chance to have my life over, but to do it right!" Translation: AS ZAC MOTHERFUCKING EFRON! The Verdict: Somewhat predictably, the most unbelievable thing about 17 Again isn't the film's wacky, done-before premise about a 37-year-old guy who falls through a wormhole that lets him reenter his 17-year-old body and go back to high school — it's that someone at New Line actually thought people would believe that Muppet-faced Friends actor Matthew Perry looked anything like Zac Efron
