Michael Douglas To Play Ronald Reagan In Indie ‘Reykjavik’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 29, 2012 2:55 pm EST We’ve heard a lot lately about actors being courted to play US Presidents, but most are for one film, Lee Daniels’ new movie The Butler. That one has Alan Rickman set to play Ronald Reagan, and Jane Fonda controversially set to be Nancy Reagan. Over in a different corner of the indie landscape, Mike Newell has taken up the directorial reins of a film called Reykjavik, and has set Michael Douglas to play Reagan, the 40th President of the United States....

Paramount Picks Up Young Adult By Diablo Cody And Jason Reitman

By Russ Fischer/Oct. 7, 2010 4:48 pm EST As we’ve reported on the quick pre-production and casting of Young Adult, written by Diablo Cody and to be directed by Jason Reitman, there has been no studio involved.

Russell stepped away from Sony’s tentpole Uncharted, it looked like The Silver Linings Playbook, based on Matthew Quick’s novel, would be his next film.

Ricky Gervais Invited To Host Golden Globes Once More

Ricky Gervais Invited To Host Golden Globes Once More By Russ Fischer/Nov. 16, 2011 2:30 pm EST Few awards hosting appearances have been as divisive as Ricky Gervais’ stint on the last Golden Globes. That gig kicked off with a detailed evisceration of Charlie Sheen before taking time to poke ugly/accurate fun at many celebs nominated for awards, and at the Globes themselves. The fallout was quick, with then-president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Philip Berk saying Gervais “definitely crossed the line....

See A Long-Lost Ad For The ‘Tron Holiday Special’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 20, 2010 2:00 pm EST Way back in 1982 I would have loved to see a Tron Holiday Special, but I don’t think the rest of America was quite there. Thank Funny or Die, then, for imagining an ad for the Tron TV spectacular that never was. Peek back at an alternate 1982, after the break. Who needs the Star Wars Holiday Special?...

Tarzan To Be Animated Again This Time In 3D But Not By Disney

By Russ Fischer/Aug. 9, 2010 10:20 am EST A new adaptation of Tarzan, the classic adventure story by Edgar Rice Burroughs, is swinging into action. (That’ll be the only vine pun, I promise.) The German outfit Constantin Films is prepping a 3D animated version of the story. Constantin recently bought rights to all the Burroughs Tarzan novels; one might guess that the first book, Tarzan of the Apes, will be the launching pad for this film....

There Will Be A Three Hour Porno Version Of Reservoir Dogs

There Will Be A Three-Hour Porno Version Of ‘Reservoir Dogs’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 30, 2010 4:00 pm EST “Dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick.” “How many dicks is that?” “A lot.” Quentin Tarantino pretty much embedded the idea of a porn version of Reservoir Dogs in the dialog for the film’s talky opening sequence. And while the idea of porn parodies of popular films is all but comically bankrupt, I’ll admit there’s some brief amusement value in thinking about the porn version of, for instance, the sequence where Mr....

Warner Bros. And Joel Silver Reportedly Developing Tentpole Version Of Don Quixote By Russ Fischer/June 11, 2010 11:15 am EST If this news is true, it can be read, basically, as Warner Bros. and Joel Silver giving Terry Gilliam the finger. But that’s Hollywood, right? The studio and producer are reportedly fast-tracking a tentpole film based on Miguel Cervantes’ massive novel Don Quixote. Pajiba says that the WB / Joel Silver film is “described as a Pirates of Caribbean-style swashbuckling version of a story in which we discover that Don Quixote isn’t crazy and that there is, in fact, a fantasy world....

‘Jack Reacher’ Trailer: “Remember, You Wanted This” By Russ Fischer/July 3, 2012 10:00 am EST Over the weekend we saw a low-quality Russian-dubbed version of the trailer for Christopher McQuarrie’s film Jack Reacher in which Tom Cruise plays a serious hardass ex-MP drawn into what seems like an open-and-shut sniper killing. Now the real thing has arrived, and it clears up a couple things. One is that the color palette of the film is nowhere near as dingy as the last look suggested....
