Unmaking the Sausage: Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters is Supposed to Be a Joke, Right?

Haha, Hollywood… you guys . Always with the fake-franchise speculation, hype and innuendo, the inflation of a screenwriter’s pitch to a full-blown screenplay, the complete and total fabrication of cast and director negotiations, attachments and commitments… too funny. Especially Paramount’s Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters , starring Jeremy Renner and Noomi Rapace and co-produced by Adam McKay. Hilarious. Wait, what?

20 Alternate Titles for the Soon-to-be-Renamed Mission: Impossible IV

Fun fact about Mission: Impossible IV , the fourth film in the billion dollar Paramount franchise that Tom Cruise and the newly cast Jeremy Renner will lead into theaters in December of 2011: It won’t be called Mission: Impossible IV . As Variety points out, the Brad Bird-directed film will be a reboot, which means a new title is needed — one that might not even mention Mission: Impossible (like The Dark Knight didn’t mention Batman). Ahead, Movieline offers Paramount 20 suggestions. You’re welcome.

Jeremy Renner Signed For ‘Mission: Impossible IV’

Paramount announced addition of ‘Hurt Locker’ actor to star alongside Tom Cruise in next ‘M:I’ installment. By Kara Warner Jeremy Renner Photo: Kevin Winter/ WireImage From “The Hurt Locker” to Hawkeye in “The Avengers” to a role opposite superspy Ethan Hunt, Jeremy Renner’s career is on the rise, as Paramount announced today that the seasoned yet rising star will appear as an operative alongside Tom Cruise in “Mission: Impossible IV.” According to Deadline , Paramount production chief Adam Goodman feels Renner “has a Daniel Craig quality” that he wants for the role. Sources tell the site that the studio was also looking for an actor who might be able to continue on with the franchise, should Cruise choose not to return in the future (Cruise is expected to return for a fifth installment). Other actors considered for the role include Tom Hardy (“Inception”), Chris Pine (“Star Trek”), Kevin Zegers, Christopher Egan and Renner’s “Hurt Locker” co-star Anthony Mackie. Although the production has had a few bumps and uncertainties along the way, Cruise has been vocal about his commitment to bring in new talent to the franchise. “My whole thing with the series is always having a new director come on and put their stamp on ‘Mission: Impossible,’ ” he told MTV News recently. “Brian De Palma was first, then John Woo, J.J. Abrams and now Brad Bird, so it will be Brad Bird’s ‘Mission: Impossible.’ ” Regarding his thoughts on the story line — which is, of course, heavily under wraps — Cruise said simply: “It’s sick. It’s fun, really fun.” Ever since his star-making turn in last year’s award-season darling (and Best Picture winner) “The Hurt Locker,” Renner has been lining up a slate of prestigious and high-profile projects. He’ll next appear in Ben Affleck’s much buzzed about Boston drama “The Town,” followed by a stint as superhero Hawkeye in Joss Whedon’s “Avengers,” and then his role in “Mission: Impossible IV.” The production, directed by Bird, with Cruise and J.J. Abrams producing, is set to begin shooting this fall. Check out everything we’ve got on “Mission: Impossible IV.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Marvel Making A Hulk-Sized Mistake In Avengers Movie?

Marvel Studios has certainly been putting their super-powered ducks in a row with their upcoming superhero ensemble movie, The Avengers . They’ve got Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man, Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and probably even Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. But is Edward Norton no longer Marvel’s pick to play the Incredible Hulk’s alter-ego, puny Bruce Banner?

Les Grossman Shows The ‘Risky Business’ Of 2010 MTV Movie Awards

See how the ‘Tropic Thunder’ movie exec made the famous tighty-whities scene a reality. By Jocelyn Vena In honor of the upcoming 2010 MTV Movie Awards , Les Grossman (of “Tropic Thunder” fame) is sharing some “Great Moments in Movie History,” starting with a behind-the-scenes stroke of genius on the 1983 set of “Risky Business.” As we hear the intro of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll,” we’re ready for a pants-less Joel Goodsen to come sliding out — only this time, he’s wearing khakis. Grossman makes it clear that he is not a fan of the chinos. “Did anyone else see this? Someone just took a dump in my eyes!” he shouts at the crew before tearing off the pants. “This is a teen movie, and teens love a–. Now dance, monkey! Let’s roll on this.” With that last-minute decision, movie history was made. Grossman is the latest high-profile name to get involved with the MTV Movie Awards promos. Justin Bieber recently hooked up with the show’s host, Aziz Ansari, and “The Hurt Locker” star Jeremy Renner, who yelled at the pop star to “relax on the chips there, cowboy.” Also, former Movie Awards host Sarah Silverman , along with Zac Efron, Diddy and Kristen Bell, gave fans a history of Ansari in a promo. “There was this Halloween once,” Zac Efron said of Aziz’s past displays of heroism. “Someone needed to step up and dress like a pumpkin, but no one wanted to do it except Aziz. He saved a lot of lives that day. And that’s why I’m glad he’s hosting the MTV Movie Awards.” Don’t miss the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , airing live from Los Angeles on Sunday, June 6, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Justin Bieber Gets Disrespect From Jeremy Renner In MTV Movie Awards Promo

Aziz Ansari tells Renner, ‘That’s Justin Bieber, bro! People don’t talk back to him!’ By Josh Wigler Although his romantic movie date with Kristen Bell didn’t go so well, 2010 MTV Movie Awards host Aziz Ansari is giving “The Hurt Locker” another shot alongside teen sensation Justin Bieber. In a new promo for the June 6 awards show, Ansari and Bieber saddle up with some soda cans and potato chips to watch the critically acclaimed war movie in 4-D — a viewing experience that brings actor Jeremy Renner’s bomb disposal efforts straight out of the screen and right into the living room. But as Ansari begins gleefully cheering and Bieber starts eating his snacks too loudly during one particularly intense sequence, a visibly frustrated Renner loses his cool. “Relax on the chips there, cowboy,” Renner warns Bieber, prompting a startled Ansari to issue a warning of his own: “That’s Justin Bieber, bro! People don’t talk back to him!” Renner tells Ansari that he doesn’t know who Justin Bieber is, and frankly, he doesn’t care — not when there are deadly improvised explosive devices waiting to be disarmed. But Renner’s cell phone betrays those claims once it starts ringing for the whole room to hear — playing none other than “Baby,” Bieber’s chart-topping single. “You know exactly who Justin Bieber is!,” an angry Ansari exclaims as he leaps out of his chair. “And you just disrespected him!” As Ansari fumes like a freshly detonated bomb, Bieber keeps his rage in check with one last potato chip — a snack he eats while keeping his eyes firmly locked on the disrespectful Renner. Clearly, disrespecting Bieber is an act of insubordination! Don’t miss the MTV Movie Awards , airing Sunday, June 6, at 9 p.m. ET on MTV!
