Hayden Christensen Wants Credit For Royal Pains

Posted on July 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Just add “jilted creator/executive producer” to Hayden Christensen’s resume. The Star Wars actor and his brother filed a lawsuit yesterday against the USA network , alleging that the second-season series Royal Pains is a ripoff of their own idea. The Christensen brothers claim that in 2005, they pitched a concierge doctor show called Housecall to the network, and a USA executive even admitted that he had never heard of the profession before their meeting. This whole situation smells (unfortunately, not like the Christsensen-endorsed Lacoste . [ NYP ]

Here’s the Movie that Beat Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald to Their ‘Historic’ User-Generated Doc

Posted on July 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

So everyone’s gotten over yesterday’s Inception hype and has apparently moved on to something smaller called Life in a Day — a collaboration between directors Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald that will comprise a bundle of user-generated clips shot and uploaded to YouTube on July 24. The finished product will premiere next January at the Sundance Film Festival. Today’s PR blitz calls Life the “first user-generated feature-length documentary film shot on a single day” and a “historic global film experiment.” Which wouldn’t be so off-base — if it were true.

The rest is here:

Before heading off to fantasyland to star in that imaginary production of the Ozzy Osbourne biopic , Colin Farrell has some actual work to do: Like film Horrible Bosses ! As one of the titular horrors, the former troublemaker is part of an overwhelmingly large cast — the likes of which haven’t been seen since, well, Margin Call .

REVIEW: Winnebago Man Explores Making and Breaking of a Viral Video Superstar

Posted on July 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

At 76, Jack Rebney speaks in rich, Orson Wellesian tones and has a gift for cursing that even the old master might have admired. Trained as a broadcaster but reduced, late in his career, to starring in in-house corporate videos, he’s developed a peculiar persona: That of a quintessential disappointment artist. Rebney’s extensive outtakes from a 1988 Winnebago marketing video suggest a man whose explosive reactions to the indignity of his predicament have taken on a performative zeal. Those outtakes, which became a hot commodity in the VHS underground before going viral on YouTube in 2005, inspired Winnebago Man, an earnest and occasionally poignant attempt to penetrate Rebney’s potent man-on-fire image and explore the impact of becoming an Internet sideshow.

Alan Ruck on Persons Unknown, the Death of Multicam Comedies, and Missing John Hughes

Posted on July 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

In his 30 years as a showbiz mainstay, Alan Ruck has starred in movies and TV shows that have come to exemplify their times. The John Hughes movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off , in which Ruck played hooky accomplice Cameron Frye, remains a hallmark for rambunctious ’80s teen comedies, while Spin City , where Ruck played the quipping Stuart Bondek, typifies the multicamera sitcom streak of the ’90s. Now, his new NBC miniseries Persons Unknown encapsulates the DVD -friendly serializaed appeal of television today, complete with a jigsaw mystery that can please fans of Veronica Mars , Lost , and The Twilight Zone alike. Ruck phoned Movieline last week to discuss the curious production of Persons Unknown , his disappointment with current TV, and the legacy of John Hughes.

Will Sir Ian McKellan Still Appear in The Hobbit?

Posted on July 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Considering The Hobbit doesn’t really have a studio or a director at this point — though Brett Ratner is still available — it does seem a bit silly that there are actually actors still attached to this thing — a fact Sir Ian McKellan surely realized. Speaking with New Zealand’s Good Morning , the acclaimed thespian — who would appear as Gandolf the Grey in the Lord of the Rings two-part prequel — pretty much threw cold water onto the heads of OneRing.net message board posters throughout Middle Earth.
