It appears they're signing up the hottest little number to wear an earpiece - everyone's favorite Uhura.
Hollywood Reporter has it that Zoe Saldana is up for the role. Sounds and looks good to me. I'm still skeptical about this whole thing, but we'll see. I certainly like the rumors that they're trying to nail down Russell Crowe to play the villain. If that happens I'm on board 100%. But I…

After seeing STARDUST I was excited to hear that Matthew Vaughn would be directing the
THOR movie. I feel even better after reading what he has to say about the project:
“Marvel were so surprised to see this other side of me with Stardust,”
recalls Matthew Vaughn of his initial meeting to discuss his vision for
the God of Thunder. “They actually said to me, ‘You are going to make
Thor more macho? Right?’ Well, don’t worry – Thor’s not going to be
wearing a… Continue

Donnie Darko, has started his own production company called, appropriately enough,
Darko Entertainment.
The company is picking up several films by other directors. First on the list is
Dirty Girl about a titular character who joins up with a introverted girl in High School special ed class, and they go a-roadtripping.
Also to be released under the banner is Kelly's next film (after the 2 years…

Big, green, and hopefully not lame this time,
The Incredible Hulk is currently filming in Toronto and
Ronin Kengo has some
cool pics of a pseudo-Harlem that's all kinds of smashed up.
Things seem to be progressing smoothly and quickly on this re-do that is written by
Ed Norton, who also plays
Bruce Banner, and is directed by
Louis Leterrier (

ANSWER: He's too damn old to running around firing RPGs at people. At least that's what the studio thinks.
For the 4th installment of the FIRST BLOOD/ Rambo series, titled
JOHN RAMBO, they want the hero to be around the age of 45. Despite the fact that the Vietnam War ended 30 years ago and
Sylvester Stallone,
God bless him, is
61-years old! Through the use of...uh,
substances Stallone has managed to pack on the muscle to do it, BUT there's just not…

...Surprisingly, this time the word "Tramp" isn't being used in place of "Skank".
Farrell reportedly told shop assistants, "Get him anything he wants. Whatever he needs," before shelling out $2,100 on new clothes
and outdoor gear at Toronto's Europe Bound Travel Outfitters store.
Staff at Toronto's Europe Bound Travel Outfitters store helped
the homeless man, known as "Stress", and Farrell pick out a coat,…

This sounds more like a pitch for a movie than a news headline from a real story. But as with most 'real' stories, it's not nearly as exciting as the headline. I don't care how many times he's watched OCEAN'S 11-13, O.J. would have to have balls of adamantium to try to pull off such a high-profile crime--

This was ridiculously great news. Murder Party is this awesome little indie-that-could that played SXSW this past year, and was the one film I went to see twice. A true movie lovers horror film, it is the story of a complete loser idiot who finds an invitation to a Halloween party and decides to crash it. Unbeknownst to him, however, the party is nothing but a trap set up by an insane rich artist who is holding a $300,000 grant over the heads of a group of art students. Their…

Harry Potter is tired of only having time to save the world and wants to move on to being able to get some serious play as well. What the hell am I talking about?
Daniel Radcliffe apparently is being pursued for the role of the young
James Bond in a new spin-off theatrical series based on a series of books.The story follows Bond through his college years and the inevitable adventures therein.
While this sounds like a pipe dream from the license holders of the…

By now everybody knows that Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon have divorced...although, did you notice that nobody really cared? No constant coverage. No crawl on CNN. No drama queen teenagers tearfully pleading on YouTube for us to "Just leave them alone!!!"
Luckily you have the boys from Spill.com to bring you the story nobody asked for, in the
contestants couple's own words:

Okay, now this is odd. In the same week that we get news of a STEPFATHER remake...we get this.
This is the true story of one creepy, fucked up little man. A trucker and family man that may in fact be a serial killer. This is like the plot to three different horror movies all rolled into one, true story. And it gives one pause. When you start to put together the pieces of this, you have to wonder…

In one of the more surreal news stories this year,
Al Pacino will be playing the famous artist
Salvador Dali in the upcoming film
Dali &I: The Surreal Story.
Yes, I know, I punned. Move on.
The film will take place between the 60s to the 80s during the time which Dali wasn't doing so much of his famous work as he was being invited to parties and public events so he could be fabulous. And Pacino playing that?
Oh man, this could be…

So by now you've no doubt heard about the naked pictures circulating the net of Vanessa Hudgens. And, if you're like me and you have a penis, you've already looked at them. It doesn't matter whether or not you know who she is. You've gazed upon her young naked flesh, because, well, someone said "Hey look! Young naked flesh!"
But you've been had. At least, I'm pretty sure you have…

Well, it's about time the Weinsteins got around to getting into bed with George Romero. I mean, isn't this why we keep the Weinsteins around? So they can assemble a legion-of-superheroes-like organization of directors who strike out against mediocrity with awesome, cutting edge films? Or at least really good ones?
Well, apparently, the Weinsteins are distributing the new…

Woot! Tony Scott TV! I think it's safe to say that being as big a Tony Scott fan as I am, this is pretty exciting. Here's a pair of press releases. Warning, the second one contains what appears to be mild Spoilers about the season opener.
Feature film director/producer Tony Scott ("Man On Fire," "Déjà Vu") makes his network television directing debut, helming the season premiere of NUMB3RS, to be broadcast Friday, Sept. 28 (10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television…
