Rick Moranis Reportedly Out of Retirement for Ghostbusters 3

Posted on September 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It sounds like the sequel to Ghostbusters is progressing, despite Bill Murray’s vitriol . Apparently, Rick Moranis has agreed to come out of retirement and reprise his role as Louis Tully (AKA “The Keymaster”) for the script by The Office writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg which calls for a younger and hipper group of ghostbusters. Sigourney Weaver is on board too. Hopefully, Moranis’ return to acting won’t keep him from making more awesome country music . [ Bloody Disgusting via ONTD ]

Steven Tyler’s Idol Gig Angers Aerosmith Bandmates

Posted on September 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Nonplussed by the rumor that Steven Tyler may become American Idol’s head judge? His Aerosmith bandmate Joe Perry is considerably more worked up about it. “It’s a reality show designed to get people to watch that station and sell advertising,” Perry seethed to the Calgary Herald . “It’s one step above [ Teenage Mutant ] Ninja Turtles …I’ll tell you one thing, when we put this band together, this is not something that he would do. It’s his business, but I don’t want Aerosmith’s name involved with it.” Draft Love! [ Calgary Herald via TMZ ]

Franco says Oscilloscope has bought the film with eyes toward a limited February release. Having been one of the hundreds turned away from the Tribeca screening this past May , consider me quite excited. [ THR /Risky Business ]

Casting changes are apparently not yet complete for Saturday Night Live ‘s 36th season, alleges Deadline this morning.

Second-generation cast member Abby Elliott is supposedly being asked to return for another season after her fate hung in “serious jeopardy.” [ Deadline ]

Postcard from Venice: Vincent Gallo Keeps His Promises, François Ozon Scores With Stars

Posted on September 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s a chilly, overcast day in Venice, and as I walk along the Lido down Lungomare Guglielmo Marconi, peering over the tall hedges that separate the street from the sea, the water looks gray and foreboding. What a pretentious-sounding sentence that is! But then, I’ve just come from seeing artiste Vincent Gallo’s Promises Written in Water, one of two pictures Gallo is presenting at the festival. The other is a short ( The Agent ), and Gallo also appears as an actor in another film in competition, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski’s Essential Killing.

Gilliam Loses Financing for Don Quixote Again, Seems Even More Similar to Title Character

Posted on September 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The parallels between Terry Gilliam’s failed attempts to make The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and the hopeless quests of Quioxte himself keep piling up. Gilliam announced that financiers have pulled out, leaving him again without resources to complete the film that he has been trying to get off the ground for 10 years.

‘Let’s Go Someplace Darker’: Mad Men Recapped

Posted on September 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Damn you, Matthew Weiner: Always making me work on a holiday. It’s an apt metaphor for Sunday night’s Mad Men , however. I suppose he’d greet my complaint with some paraphrase of Don’s afterhours reality check to birthday girl Peggy — “You’re 30-something years old; it’s time to get over Labor Day” — before insisting I hunker down and bring ides for the year’s seventh episode. And here I am! It worked.

Postcard from Venice: On John Woo, Tsui Hark and the Glorious Nuttiness of Detective Dee

Posted on September 5, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Two nights ago here in Venice, John Woo received a Golden Lion lifetime-achievement award, which may not mean much to people who have seen only his American movies. In fact, while waiting in line for a screening the other day, I heard one badge-holder (speaking English with an English accent) explaining to another who he is. I would have thought anyone in the world who’d managed to get accreditation to a major film festival would know John Woo, but apparently not.
