Eddie Murphy is Back Already in A Thousand Words Trailer

So this whole Eddie Murphy dropping out of the Academy Awards thing has to be good for someone, right? Maybe even for Eddie Murphy and DreamWorks, who have cleverly unveiled a trailer for the long-postponed Murphy comedy A Thousand Words today, hoping that a little publicity will go a long way for what appears to be a knock-off of one of your favorite Jim Carrey titles.

New Snow White and the Huntsman Art Suggests Alice-Like Tone

Set photos of an armored Kristen Stewart and the star’s own description of Snow White and the Huntsman ‘s bloody edge had me thinking this could be the more transgressive of the two Snow White projects in the works (the other being Tarsem’s newly titled Mirror, Mirror , starring Lily Collins and Armie Hammer). The first official SWATH banner art, however, suggests something a bit more kid-friendly, even Alice in Wonderland -esque. Or am I reading too much into the fantastical, Photoshopped flora and fauna swirling around Stewart, Chris Hemsworth , and the disembodied head of evil queen Charlize Theron ?

Aaaand Now Brett Ratner Wants to Ruin The Last American Virgin

A brief tangentially related rant in the middle of RatnerGate : I usually give remakes a relatively fair shake before they prove their worth (or lack thereof), but Brett Ratner’s potential redo of the underrated ’80s teen sex comedy The Last American Virgin , I cannot abide. News of Ratner’s intentions slipped by in his recent Howard Stern appearance, understandably, but he had this to say: “I think I jerked off to [ LAV star Diane Franklin] at least two hundred times.” Please, universe, don’t let this guy ruin the most surprisingly sensitive teen comedy of the ’80s. #RatnerFreeRemakes, anyone?

So Much For #RatnerFreeOscars! AMPAS Stands by Producer: ‘It Will Not Happen Again’

I’m still waiting for anyone from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to bother replying to my request for comment about yesterday’s Brett Ratner “rehearsing is for fags” imbroglio , but AMPAS president Tom Sherak has officially weighed in on the controversy: “He knew it was wrong and he issued that response as quickly as any human being ever has. The bottom line is, this won’t and can’t happen again. It will not happen again.” So much for the #RatnerFreeOscars ; it was nice to imagine while it lasted.

Muppets Song/Dance Sequence: Can Jason Segel Sing and Dance?

Of course The Muppets begins with a happy-clappy street symphony that looks like an outtake from Bjork’s “It’s Oh So Quiet.” It’s The Muppets , dammit! Perkiness on tap, puppetry on parade. Here, in this opening scene from the new movie, Jason Segel and his Muppet brother Walter don matching suits and sing about lovin’ life . Because they do.

About That Time Clint Eastwood Pulled a Fast One on Armie Hammer

Leonardo DiCaprio tried his best to buck Clint Eastwood’s reputation as a one-take director but it turns out that his J. Edgar co-star Armie Hammer had a totally difference experience than the leisurely ten-take routine described at last week’s press conference. “There would be takes that we did where I was under the impression we were shooting a rehearsal,” Hammer told Moviefone . “Or that the cameras weren’t even on … and that’s what we used. At one point he was like, “OK, cut, print.” And I was like, “Whoa, whoa, Clint, I had my sides in my hands, I thought we were just rehearsing that.” [ Moviefone ]

We Are Not Cool Enough for an Absolutely Fabulous Movie

Jennifer Saunders will begin scripting a feature version of her classic BBC series Absolutely Fabulous sometime next year, after she finishes work on the Spice Girls stage musical Viva Forever in London. Deadline reports that Ab Fab: The Movie will open with “Patsy and Edina waking up hungover in the empty drifting yacht of an oligarch in the middle of the ocean. Even worse, their cellphones can’t get a signal.” I’m torn — I want to be excited that the movie’s happening, but I can’t shake the paralyzing sadness of Ab Fab ‘s most recently aborted revival.

Watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt Sing R. Kelly’s ‘Ignition (Remix)’

When Joseph Gordon-Levitt isn’t busy playing cops and pimping his HitRECordJoe empire, he clearly spends a lot of time studying the arts. Because, my friends, you don’t just learn the lyrics to R. Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix)” overnight. I speak from experience. Hit the jump to watch JGL make sweet, dirty aural love to an audience at OSU with his guitar and the R&B stylings of Mr. Robert Sylvester Kelly.
