The Idiot

David Bergstein, who ran one studio into bankruptcy before going on to hilariously advise a potential Disney buyer , now has a bench warrant issued for his arrest. The “financier” failed to appear in court Monday to resolve the matter of a $1 million debt he owes to Mandalay Bay Casino; he blamed his former lawyer (whom he’s suing) for failing to tell him about an outstanding judgment for the amount. She’s countersuing, arguing she doesn’t even have a license to practice law in Nevada. Horrendous. [ THR ]

Report: Carey Mulligan Locked for Dragon Tattoo

After nearly choking with excitement at the prospect of starring in David Fincher’s English-language remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo , it looks like Carey Mulligan will get her wish: A report in the Times says she’s received Fincher’s blessing for the thriller’s punky female lead. Moreover, Fincher is said to want Brad Pitt for the film as well — which could theoretically scuttle the star’s other, lower-paying Sony effort Moneyball depending on scheduling. If this doesn’t affirm the surging Moneyball curse , then nothing will. [ The Times via TOH ]

New Toy Story 3 Star Suddenly Big in Japan

Kids, you’re never too young to learn what a “viral ad campaign” is! (Hint: It’s something that Susie got because her hippie parents never wash her hair, and now Class Picture Day has been canceled.) Hot on the heels of Pixar’s retro-cool ad for a Toy Story 3 stuffed animal that never existed until now, a tipster tells us that Pixar has also posted a Japanese version of that sideways-universe marketing campaign. It’s no Mr. Sparkle , but it’ll do:

(They do not link it to the semi-resurgent U.S. economy, but why not do that on your own?)

Is Jennifer Garner Practicing Her Sarah Palin?

That’s what you might deduce from Harvey Weinstein’s recent comments about the actress’s role in Butter , in which she plays a fierce Midwestern butter-sculpting competitor. “[A] young sculptress played by Yara Shahidi ( Imagine That ) makes a run for the greasy gold,” per the NYT , “and ‘lo and behold the Sarah Palin-ish Jennifer Garner character’ is determined to thwart her.” There’s a “reload” metaphor in here somewhere, but it’s really too early for me.

Interview: Johnny Knoxville and Co. on Bringing BMX Power to Tribeca

It’s hard to believe that nearly 25 years into his pioneering career as the world’s most influential, ambitious and successful BMX athletes, Mat Hoffman didn’t have a film made about him until now.
