Israel Loyalist Harvey Weinstein Picks Up Julian Schnabel’s Palestinean Drama Miral

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Were it not for their previous, successful collaborations on the 1996 biopic Basquiat and 2008’s Lou Reed’s Berlin , I would pay top freaking dollar for a ringside seat to watch Julian Schnabel and Harvey Weinstein battle over Miral , the Schnabel drama acquired Monday by the Weinstein Company. Never mind the likely editing-suite drama or the marketing meltdowns sure to follow Harvey’s modest entreaty, “Frieda Pinto. Wild Wild Girls . Think about it.” This time it’s allll about the Holy Land.

Delgo Distributor Going Legit With Bill Nighy/Emily Blunt/Rupert Grint Odd-Trio Comedy

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Hey-ohhh, the economy is back! For evidence, look no further than the offices of Freestyle Releasing, whose responsibility for laying the single biggest wide-release egg in history is but a distant memory today: The organization will turn over a new leaf with some slightly more (OK, much more) esteemed company.

You’ve spent years combing through tabloid pictures of Matthew McConaughey running in Malibu, surfing in Malibu, skateboarding in Malibu, and practicing yoga in Malibu, but pretty soon, you’ll be able to flip on the television and see Matthew McConaughey’s own comedy series set in Malibu. And the description is pretty wild.

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds to Make Non-Sequel to The Proposal

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Remember reading that Vulture piece earlier in the year about how Disney didn’t want to make a sequel to The Proposal — despite some $300 million in grosses worldwide — because they couldn’t make money off action figures, theme park rides, and other forms of merchandising? Well, it turns out the executives at Universal Studios aren’t all that concerned with making money, since they’ve just reunited Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, screenwriter Peter Chiarelli and possibly director Anne Fletcher to make a non -sequel to The Proposal ! Wait, what?

Van Sant Actually Wanted to Direct Breaking Dawn

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Back when Summit was pursuing directors like Gus Van Sant and Sofia Coppola to direct the final Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn , I figured they were simply shooting for the moon. In the new issue of New York , however, the always candid Bret Easton Ellis reveals that Van Sant went after the job himself. “You can make a lot of money doing that,” Ellis whispered. Let’s hope that Bill Condon gives the shirtless werewolves some skateboards to use as a tribute to his fallen comrade. [ New York ]

Mad Men Wins at BAFTAs

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Mad Men dominated the Emmys for two straight seasons in America, and if the recent British Academy of Film and Television Association Awards are any indication, the third season will also win top honors. AMC’ s marquee series won the BAFTA for Best International Show yesterday over Nurse Jackie , Family Guy , and True Blood . No argument from me — but I hope when Mad Men does rack up Emmy noms again, Christina Hendricks wins her first nod and some damn credit for her towering vase-smash of a season. [ Zap2It ]

Christians Claim that Ellen’s Gayness is Killing American Idol, Suggest Roman Polanski As Next Reality Judge

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

On the heels of American Idol ‘s lowest season finale numbers ever , a Christian news site is making such a claim so ridiculous that it’s almost funny: Ellen DeGeneres’ sexual orientation is responsible for Idol ‘s drop in ratings. And while they’re at it, the site also alleges that television is on a “pro-homosexuality bender” and that adding Ellen to Idol is just as bad as giving Roman Polanski a seat on the Dancing with the Stars judging panel. Wait, what?
