Ready For an Ice Road Truckers Movie?

Fox is said to be interested in developing a feature film based on the History Channel reality hit Ice Road Truckers — or at least that’s what director John Moore intimated on Monday. “We’ll turn it into a mission movie that harkens back to Towering Inferno , Jaws , or The Guns of Navarone ,” Moore told Deadline. “You got a problem, go solve it.” Indeed, and Moore is the man to do it. Lord knows if anybody has an eye for huge crap sliding out of control, it’s the director of Max Payne and that Omen remake. [ Deadline ]

Hulu Begins to Make Cable Companies Useless

Can’t wait for the DVD release of your favorite show — or don’t feel like spending all that money on DVR ? Well, does Hulu having something for you! Just as long as you don’t watch stuff on CBS or Comedy Central, of course. The online television site has unveiled Hulu Plus , a $9.99 monthly service that would allow subscribers to watch full seasons of their favorite Fox, ABC and NBC shows on the site without being limited to the last five episodes. Hulu Plus will also open up the archives — great news for fans of The Pretender — and be available on both the iPad and iPhone. Though since current users will still be able to use Hulu almost exactly as they do now — that being, for free — why the change in business model?

Eclipse Producer Tricked Into Confirming Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson Romance

By this time, anyone associated with the Twilight saga knows that there’s a party line to toe when it comes to questions concerning the much gossiped-about real-life relationship between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson: you either deny its existence, or you clam up and refuse to talk about it. Perhaps producer Wyck Godfrey could use a refresher, because a wily Time interrogator was able to get him to speak about it — at length! — just by phrasing his question in a manner Godfrey wasn’t used to:

Jason Bateman’s iPhoneGate Just Won’t Die

Yesterday, Jason Bateman tried to blame his iPhone line-jumping on paparazzi who were terrorizing the crowd gathered outside of the Apple Store. Now, several eyewitnesses are coming forward to refute the actor’s claims: “There was, at most, one photographer who kept a respectful distance,” one bystander told Us , while another added that the crowd was (understandably) very angry: “There was a chorus of boos and then people shouting, ‘What?’ and ‘We’ve been here for hours!’ They escorted him like he was a pretty big deal.” Apple, you might want to rethink that Arrested Development app. [ Us ]

Helen Mirren on Love Ranch, Red and Protecting Her Castmates From Horny Extras

Of all the reasons to love Dame Helen Mirren — her taste, class, grace, skill, discipline, fearlessness and ageless eroticism among them — 2010 might be the year we get the best look at her versatility. Having already given us the outsized wife of Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station , the Oscar-winner arrives in theaters this week as the flat-accented, fur-clutching, no-nonsense brothel madam Grace Bontempo of Love Ranch . October will bring the action-packed intrigue Red , featuring Mirren’s turn as a former CIA spook eluding an assassination rap alongside Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich. The jury’s out on the latter film, but the long-delayed Love Ranch (directed by Mirren’s husband Taylor Hackford) indeed provides a worthwhile study of grande dame by way of Nevada desert.

How Big Brother’s New Twist Can Bring Back the Spirit of The Mole

Apparently if you renew a reality show for enough seasons, it starts to turn into other reality shows. Big Brother , the CBS summer series where housemates evict each other and compete in backyard stunts, is stealing an idea from ABC’ s deflated reality series The Mole and throwing a “saboteur” in the house who will pose as a player but will “disrupt the lives of fellow contestants” and “earn additional rewards as long as they go undiscovered, fulfilling fan-inspired tasks.” Should the network go even further in its Mole pilfering?

Jason Bateman’s Fast iPhone Excuse

Annoyed with reports that he was privy to celebrity iPhone line-cutting privileges last week, Jason Bateman has taken to Twitter to explain the situation once and for all. “There wasn’t one boo. Not one hiss. The Apple guy brought me in away from the paparazzi. Period.” Bateman then went on to remember his time in that muggy, slow-moving line at the Grove fondly: “I was content in line. I wish I’d stayed.” [ Popeater ]
