Joss Whedon Tops Louis Letterier for Avengers Gig

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It had been rumored for a little while, and now it looks like Joss Whedon is in negotiations to direct Marvel’s all-star team-up The Avengers . (You may remember Clash of the Titans helmer Louis Letterier was also on that shortlist .) The Buffy the Vampire Slayer just wrapped his last gig, directing an episode of Glee ; this will surely prove invaluable when Iron Man leads his fellow heroes in a rousing, Auto-Tuned group-sing of JoJo’s “Too Little Too Late.” [ Deadline ]

How Totally Random are This Year’s Tribeca Film Festival Juries?

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Answer: Pretty totally random! Tribeca today sent over a release announcing 35 jurors for its 2010 festival, ranging from Oscar winners to a Twitter co-founder to a State Department member to Jessica Alba, Zach Braff Aaron Eckhart, and Alicia Keys — in no particular order, and not quite where you’d likely expect them to show up. It hardly seems right that they’d snub Movieline’s distinguished staff on our birthday , but there’s always next year. Speaking for myself, I’d give up a chair for Brooke Shields or America Ferrera any day. The rest, though… you really must see it to believe it.

Every Star Wars Geek on Earth to Appear in Stitched-Together Remake

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The event has been coming for a while, and now it appears April 19 is officially D-Day for the fan-generated Star Wars Uncut . The project solicited 15-second clips from 472 amateur filmmakers around the Web, finally tying the pieces together in a kind of patchwork remake of George Lucas’s original classic. No CGI Jabba the Hutt inserts, no revised battle scenes, no generally Lucasian BS — just Lego Obi-Wan cut down by his archnemesis Lego Darth Vader, grown men in casual Wookiee wear, abstract cutaways of dogs, incompetent green-screen deployment, creatively used ladders and so, so much more. I call dibs on the frozen Han Solo sequence in the inevitable Empire Strikes Back Uncut sequel. Click through for the video.

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Introducing the Bruno Tonioli Heart-Attack Meter

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Instead of grading yesterday Dancing with the Stars ‘s rumba/tango night using the judges’ scores as a rubric, why don’t we base the winning performance on what really matters? I’m talking about how close judge Bruno Tonioli came to a staggering heart attack. That’s the tell of real artistry. After the jump, we revisit the nine remaining performers’ routines, rate Tonioli’s bodily response on a scale from 1 (inert) to 10 (meth-splattered convulsions), and reinterpret Tonioli’s critiques as we remembered them. We also listed the real scores for your statistical pleasure.

EXCLUSIVE: Olivia Wilde Cast as Sexy Stripper in Butter

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Curious as to why Olivia Wilde has been hitting up her Twitter followers for tips on mastering an Iowa accent? Movieline can reveal the reason: it’s because the House actress has been cast in Butter , Jim Field Smith’s satirical comedy that plays out the themes of the 2008 Democratic primary by using an Iowa butter-carving competition as the setting.

What’s On: Bunches of Bergeron!

Posted on April 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Tom Bergeron isn’t just your hard-smiling, completely cynical game show emcee anymore — now he’s a bona fide thespian and convincing murder victim. Tonight, in addition to his usual stint on Dancing with the Stars , the former Hollywood Squares host will appear in a dramatic role on another series. And he’ll die! I’ll take your unhinged outrage to block.
