Trailer for “Rango”
I hadn’t heard a thing about this movie until I saw the trailer. You know, it looks just gloriously weird enough to be good.

Greed is Good
Greed also apparently has a last name – Douglas.
Diandra Douglas is taking ex-husband Michael to court, seeking half of all the money he earns from his upcoming film, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. (Dumbest. Title. Ever).
Diandra divorced Michael in 2000, getting a hefty $45 million settlement from the actor, including half of any money he earns from merchandise, residuals, or spin-offs from movies he made from the time they got married in 1977.
Diandra’s argument is that Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is a spin-off, so it qualifies under the terms of the divorce settlement, while Michael is claiming that it’s a sequel, so she shouldn’t get anything.
Yeah, I thought a spin-off and a sequel were basically the same thing too, but apparently not. At least not legally. Sequels are separate entities from the original work entirely, while a spin-off takes the premise and/or characters from the original work and puts them in a different environment or medium.
Stay tuned. This fight’s just getting started.
Eclipse behind the scenes sneak peak
Check out his clip about the fight scenes (there’s quite a few of them) for the upcoming third installment of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
The film clearly isn’t just from Bella’s POV (unlike the books) and probably stands to be the most accessible (something for everyone) to date.
Apparently, some Twi-freaks have been complaining that the movie focuses too much on action and not enough on the Edward/Bella/Jacob love triangle, without of course having seen anything but the trailers at this point.
Mind-boggling.
Haters to the left.
Is Megan Fox doing a “House of Wax” remake?
No?
Ok then (no reason just wondering).
Megan Fox was looking….altered on the red carpet Thursday night at the premiere of her new film, Jonah Hex.
Word is the movie’s so bad it’s almost unwatchable and is the latest entry for “worst movie summer 2010″. On the plus side, Jonah Hex may be total crap, but at least it’s short crap. Apparently it doesn’t even run 90 minutes (still 80-something minutes too long).
Megan also recently got re-engaged to long time on again off again boyfriend Brian Austin-Green, whom she seems to have a volitile relationship with. Last year, rumour was she was set to kick him to the curb with the commercial success of Transformers 2 under her belt, now that she’s no longer involved with the franchise…well, a girl needs to keep her options open, does she not?
More Les
Looks like those ads and appearance at the MTV Movie Awards with Tom Cruise as Les Grossman: Mega-Mogul were a bit of test run to see what the public’s reaction to the character would be post Tropic Thunder
Mst have been positive. Word out of Hollywood this morning that a movie featuring “Less Grossman” has been greenlit by Paramount Studios, with Ben Stiler and Stuart Cornfield producing.
In a press release (which treats Les Grossman like an actual person and not a character) Tom writing as as Les said, “To quote my great friend Kirk Lazarus, ‘I don’t read the script, the script reads me.”
“He [Cruise as Grossman] has assured me he plans to, quote, ‘F*cking kill the sh*t out of this movie and make Citizen f*cking Kane look like a piece-of-crap home movie by the time we are done.’” added Ben Stiller.
Playing along, Paramount President Adam Goodman wrote, “Everything I learned in this business, I’ve learned from Les. I started out as his assistant, and from the first day he threw his desk at me when I got his lunch order wrong, I have loved him like a father.”
Heh.
Sounds like this could be a real hit, although the potential for confusion on the project is high, since the cast and crew are going to end up being unsure if their dealing with Tom, or his alter ego Les (you know he’s going to have enjoy messing with them).
MTV Movie Awards Spot with Les & Rob
Do you think Les Grossman follows Xenu?
Rhetorical questions aside, check out this brilliant spot with Tom Cruise as “mega-mogul Les Grossman” and Rob “Sparkles” Pattinson for the MTV Movie Awards.
Cruise is playing the same character he did in Tropic Thunder, a great take on every overly smarmy and completely fake stereotypical Hollywood type you’ve ever heard about.
The MTV Movie Awards airs Sunday June 6th.
Good thing Transformers isn’t about acting
Guess that over the top Victoria’s Secret ad she shot with Michael Bay directing a while back was a taste of bigger things to come.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a model with no prior acting experience (aside from standing around in lingerie looking seductive while wind machines blow her hair and explosions go off in the background) has landed the coveted role of Shia LeBeouf’s out of league love interest in the upcoming Transformers 3.
Rosie replaces Megan Fox, who quit of her own accord or was canned for being either too skinny or too bitchy in her criticisms of Michael Bay, depending on who you want to believe.
Somewhere out there, Heidi Montag is convincing herself that she actually had a shot at the role, and lost it because she hasn’t had enough plastic surgery.
So is Michael Bay on to something with this casting couch choice or is he out of his mind? We’ll find out July 1, 2011 when the movie comes out.
What happened to the rest of him?
Fiddy is that you?
Curtis Jackson (aka Fifty Cent), went all Christian Bale and dropped over 50lbs for his role in the movie Things Fall Apart, in which he plays a pro-football player who develops cancer.
Fiddy says he lost the weight by spending 3 hours a day on a treadmill and sticking to a liquid diet for nine weeks (you just know that got Victoria Beckham’s attention). If you lose a lot of weight do your eyebrows automatically look fat? Just wondering.
Fiddy has been busy putting the weight back on and training for his upcoming tour, promising “I’ll be back in shape in no time”.
Huh. Guess it is possible to be too thin. Who knew?
The gift that keeps on giving
.
Seriously, Heidi Montag is a god-send (but not for the reasons she thinks).
Never letting something like reality and lack of acting talent stop her, the boobtastic plastic surgery victim posted a 30 second clip of herself at an LA shooting range on her Facebook page as her audtion for a role in Transformers 3 left vacant by Megan Fox’s departure.
Better luck next time Heidi. The rumour floating around today is that Victoria’s Secret model turned actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has gotten the part.
Maybe Heidi should try out for the role of a fembot instead, you know she’s got enough plastic and silicone in her now to play one convincingly.
They’re already lining up…
… trying to get Michael Bay’s attention to be Megan Fox’s replacement in Transformers 3. Can you just imagine some of the calls agents are fielding from their clients today in Hollywood? The temper tantrums, meltdowns, and ass kissing must be epic. We’ll be hearing more about this by next week, count on it.
As for director Michael Bay, word is he’s already got several different actresses in mind for the new role. Top on his wish list is Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace, Clash of the Titans, Price of Persia:The Sands of Time) who’s making quite a name for herself in genre films. I think she’d be a good match with Shia LaBeouf, you?
