I have to mention this first, since this is the CUTEST LITTLE THING I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE MUPPETS?????????
Pictured are Jim Broadbent and the magnanimous Meryl Streep as the Thatchers in the upcoming The Iron Lady, based on the first female British Prime Minister. Ms. Streep just immerses herself completely and just transforms into her character. That's why she's freaking Meryl Streep and no one will really compare to her star power in my generation.
Sean Hayes in The Three Stooges, which I still think should've included Jim Carrey, because I don't know what it is--he just seems to be back on top with his comedy. It's refreshing to see him be funny again. His SNL comedy sketch was the funniest I've seen come out of SNL since Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon's skits. But Will Sasso from MADTV will be Curly, with Sean as Larry, and Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe. I don't know. Let's go at this with a grain of salt, yes. But with at least an ounce of hesitation. Also the fact that Jane Lynch is in this, gray skies are turning blue.
Now THIS, I'm actually looking forward to. Rock of Ages is this hit on Broadway, and it's coming to the big screen, with Footloose star Julianne Hough as the female lead. I'm kind of excited for this!! It's all about the 80's scene and music and all that, and Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti, Bryan Cranston, Russell Brand and Mary J. Blige are all in it, with Tobey McGuire and Adam Shankman producing it. So you know it's bound to be good if the Shankman has his fingers in it.
IN SADDER NEWS, according to the website Deadline , we're told that there soon should be good news and bad news on the Star Trek sequel front. The good news: With his film Super 8 set for release June 10, JJ Abrams is expected to announce shortly his return as director of Star Trek 2. The bad news: Even moving at warp speed, Abrams will be hard pressed to make the June 29, 2012 release date that the studio set for the film. I'm told that the move being considered right now is to push Trek back for a Holiday 2012 release. This comes after Paramount pushed back the other franchise film in its arsenal that has Chris Pine as its star. Pine's also playing Jack Ryan in the reboot of the Tom Clancy-created series. Pine was expected to shoot that film first, but the script wasn't ready. Thing is, in order for the film to succeed again, they need exactly all the right pieces to fall together at the same time, and unfortunately, his excellent team of director, exec producers, writers and such are all busy doing other awesome-but-not-as-equally-fantastic projects. The film has three top-flight writers in Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. Kurtzman directed Welcome to People. Orci has been busy on Cowboys & Aliens, a film I'm STOKED AND EXCITED AND THRILLED AND ANXIOUS to watch, and in prepping the Gavin Hood-directed sci-fi epic Ender's Game. Lindelof has been busy working on Prometheus, the Ridley Scott film (brilliant man, Mr. Scott) for Fox. The result? It doesn't sound like they are close to having a script that will live up to the high quality of the last film that revived a dead franchise.
OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Jersey boy Zach Braff is in final talks to join Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful for Disney Pictures. Braff will play the role of Frank, the loyal but under-appreciated assistant to Oz (James Franco), a charismatic circus magician who is treated as a powerful wizard after his balloon blows off course into Oz.
Kim Basinger, Heather Graham, Catherine O'Hara and Jason Patric are all in final negotiations to star in the dark indie comedy Fortune for Nasser Group North says Variety. The story revolves around four characters - a petty thief who seeks a way out of his life after a roadside killing, and two broke sisters who team to get the bounty on a female mobster. They all collide in Las Vegas.
Jamie Chung, who recently starred in The Hangover Part II, Julie Bowen, who also recently starred in Jumping the Broom, Connie Britton, and Jennifer Morrison (funny how I just mentioned Star Trek and she had a previous small role in the first film) are all in negotiations to join the cast of the indie political drama "Knife Fight" reports Variety. Bill Guttentag is directing and co-writing the script with Chris Lehane. Rob Lowe (man looks great at any age--bratpacker to West Wing to now....rawr) stars as a political crisis manager who specializes in playing hardball on behalf of scandal-plagued clients. Chung plays his savvy assistant, Bowen an ambitious TV reporter who sleeps with him for scoops, and Britton an earthy liberal looking to run for public office. Mader plays a masseuse/prostitute bent on blackmail, Morrison plays one of her classmates, and Welliver plays a private investigator working for Lowe.
And that's a wrap, folks!!!!
