Following the recent success of Midnight in Paris and the filming of Bop Decameron in Rome, Woody Allen is apparently planning to set his next film in Germany . Exciting! And maybe a little predictable, but I’m enjoying the minor Zelig flashback this news conjures. Do you have visions for locales in the next leg of Allen’s film career? There’s one hope I refuse to let go…

Sure, we’ve already gotten a sneak peak of what Bradley Cooper could look like as the devil in Paradise Lost , but that doesn’t mean Legendary Pictures is done casting their adaptation of the John Milton novel. Just today, Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou joined the Alex Proyas-directed production as Abdiel, the angel of death. If Paradise Lost still needs an archangel of divine street fights, may we suggest Ryan Gosling ? [ Variety ]

Hoo boy. The late-summer movie bottleneck has caught up with Hollywood, relegating this weekend’s trio of new wide releases to the bottom of the top five at the box office. Above them, a pair of leggy holdovers scrap for the top spot, with the ladies of The Help putting some distance between themselves and James Franco’s tenacious Rise of the Planet of the Apes . Your clinically lethargic Friday box office is here.

When The Fighter premiered last year, Lionsgate was sitting on Warrior , another “fighter” film about the deeply rooted rivalry between two working-class brothers. Directed by Gavin O’C onnor ( Miracle ), the action drama features burgeoning stars Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy (both of whom force fed themselves chicken and trained brutally to attain realistically rock hard MMA physiques) and Nick Nolte as their recovering alcoholic father who so desperately seeks their forgiveness. In anticipation of this gritty Sept. 9 release, O’C onnor and his stars Nolte, Edgerton, Hardy and Jennifer Morrison gathered Friday at the Los Angeles press conference to discuss Warrior , their upcoming big budget projects ( Dark Knight Rises and The Great Gatsby ) and in the case of Nolte, Katharine Hepburn’s affinity for drunks and the enduring social message of his ’80s Eddie Murphy comedy 48 Hours . Click through for the revelations.

Devotees of Tom Holland’s 1985 vampire pic Fright Night , Anton Yelchin would like to allay your fears about Craig Gillespie’s remake of the horror cult classic. The new Fright Night , in theaters today, pays loving homage to the original even as it updates the setting to suburban Las Vegas, turns teen hero Charley Brewster (Yelchin) into a savvy, sneaker-freak cool kid with a hot girlfriend (Imogen Poots), and makes new changes to Fright Night ‘s cast of characters, from the dangerously sexy vampire next door ( Colin Farrell ) to the angry geek “Evil” Ed ( Christopher Mintz-Plasse ) to the drastically re-imagined Peter Vincent (David Tennant), now a Criss Angel-like Vegas magician with a penthouse suit on the Strip.

You raised him up — to the heights of a movie star, I mean! Josh Groban, the affable Oprah favorite with the groin-jitteringly rich voice, was a major perk of Crazy, Stupid, Love as Emma Stone’s all-wrong boyfriend Richard. Now he’s set to star on something called “television” as Ed Helms’ onscreen brother on The Office . Are we at the dawn of Josh Groban’s big-time jump to screen stardom?

My name is Cassidy and I’m 16 years old. I love Justin Bieber so much and I would never have thought in a million years I would ever meet him…but like Justin says: NEVER SAY NEVER! One of my good friends Paige and I would always talk about him in our biology class and she would always tell me about her Bieber experiences, and would say that I’ll meet him one day. On Tuesday morning, August 16th, I woke up and got all these phone calls that Justin was in town at our local sky high and trampoline place. I was with my friend and we literally got dressed and rushed over to the movies (Muvico) around 11:30am because we thought for some reason he might go there that night to watch a movie since he has been there with Jaden Smith before. I was calling all my friends to see if they were at the mall and if they had seen Justin there but they said no. I don’t know why but I had this gut feeling that he was going to be there. I waited in front of the movie theatre literally all day and by 9:00pm my friend Natalie and I were about to give up and leave because it was about to close anyways. My friend said we should just go, he’s not coming. I told her no we can’t, I still have a feeling he might come! Then about an hour later around 10:00pm I see a group of girls running towards someone and I look over a car and it was JUSTIN BIEBER! I felt like I was dreaming. He was with Jaden Smith and Moises Arias too. I started running to him but he was already running towards me because he had to hurry and get in his car before girls started attacking him! I quickly asked him if I could get a picture together and he said, “Yeah is your camera already on?” and I said “Yessss!” Then his bodyguard took the picture. I honestly couldn’t remember anything after the picture. I don’t even remember saying thank you and if he said anything, I was just so shocked/speechless that I just met and got a picture with Justin! After that my friend Natalie asked for a picture and with him and he said, “Sorry I can’t. I’m in a rush” but she at least got a picture of his back getting into his car. It was seriously a dream come true for me! My friend and I walked to the curb of the parking lot to watch him drive away and that’s when I started crying so hard. I’ve never cried so hard in my life. The very first person I called was my friend Paige because we had been talking throughout the day. I then called my mom and told her the same thing and she thought I was in a car accident or something because I was crying so hard and couldn’t talk. That whole time I honestly thought it was all a dream, it just didn’t feel real to me, it was so crazy! I am most definitely proud to say that I met Justin Bieber and I’m going to frame that picture of us and keep it forever! My dreams finally came true, I can’t thank Justin enough for what he does for his fans and I can truly call him my inspiration! I love you Justin Drew Bieber. – @ cassidyaddison Original post: My name is Cassidy and I’m 16 years old. I love Justin…

With “Laugh At My Pain” Kevin Hart joins Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor and Martin Lawrence as one of the few Black comedians to have a stand up comedy concert turned into a movie released in theaters. Hart has been paying dues for some time now, both on the stand up circuit and the Black movie circuit. Will this movie put him in the ranks of the Black comedy greats? Hart is an extremely funny story teller. The title “Laugh At My Pain” is extremely descriptive as Hart’s self deprecating humor is evident in the stories he tells. Like Murphy and Prior Hart turns his family and personal life into tales of amusement. While many in the hip hop generation generate their personas from bragging about how tough and how rich they are, Hart tells tales of being too short, too soft and too broke. Like Prior, Hart uses the tragedies like his father’s drug abuse to create humorous tales. Like Bill Cosby, Hart uses tales of fatherhood to make us laugh. Hart uses tales of his celebrity life and tales of growing up much like Eddie Murphy did in Raw. Hart’s comedy is not so much a series of jokes, but tales that remind you of one of your funny friends telling stories about his life, his family and his past. His personal style of story telling makes it seem as if he his talking directly to you and not to a crowd. When I talked to Kevin Hart, he seemed humble yet extremely ambitious. He says he can talk about his father’s drug abuse because today, his father is sober and healthy. He says he’s confident in his material and lets his young children watch his movies and that they know that “that’s just daddy doing his job.” Hart’s comedy idols, Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy have called him to give him praise and like most great comedians, Hart studies the legends that have come before him. Hart seems posed to make the transitions from Black movies to mainstream movies. While he may be known for slapstick parody movies like “Soul Plane” and “Scary Movie 3,” he is transitioning to romantic comedies like “35 And Ticking” and “The 5 Year Engagement,” in which he the only African American character. So far the writing for Kevin hart’s movies have not matched his own talent and joke writing ability so Kevin is writing movies and TV pilots with his own production company, HartBear. Hart also has been utilizing technology and has created his own Iphone app , a video game that also allows access to news on Hart and his stand up comedy. Judging by the bootleggers, barbershops, and the stand up comedy circuit, Kevin Hart is the number one comedian for urban America. If Hart’s movies or TV show can receive the same writing that he puts into his stand up, he can join Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor as one of the few Black comedians who transitioned from stand up comedian to movie and TV star.

The last time Paramount released a still photo from Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol , it was that Eminem-y shot of Emo Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) wearing a hoodie. Fashion faux pas, Mr. Hunt! Thankfully, this new still — which features Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Simon Pegg — is a bit better. Seems like the IMF team stopped shopping at Hot Topic and found Banana Republic at the other end of the mall. Click through for a look.
