‘Twelve’ Stars 50 Cent, Chace Crawford Choose Their Favorite Movie Drug Dealers

‘One of my favorite movies of all time is ‘True Romance,’ ‘ Crawford says about the Quentin Tarantino-penned flick. By Jocelyn Vena Chase Crawford Photo: MTV News In their new drama “Twelve,” out this weekend, Chace Crawford and 50 Cent both play New York City drug dealers, following in the footsteps of a long line of celluloid drug dealers. So the duo had plenty of inspiration to fuel their own work in the film. Al Pacino’s legendary role of Tony Montana in “Scarface” was cited by several of the “Twelve” castmembers as favorites, including Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Billy Magnussen. But Rory Culkin called out his co-stars for making such an obvious choice. “Movie drug dealer? Everyone’s gonna say ‘Scarface!’ ” he said. ” ‘The Wackness’s Josh Peck was a pretty badass little pot dealer. I dug it.” There was one other flick that came out on top. “One of my favorite movies of all time is ‘True Romance,’ ” Chace Crawford said. “Brad Pitt obviously plays a hilarious character in that. He’s funny. Gary Oldman is awesome. That’s probably, as far as that goes, my favorite.” Like Crawford, director Joel Schumacher also named the 1993 Tony Scott film, which was written by Quentin Tarantino. “My favorite drug dealer in a movie would be Gary Oldman in ‘True Romance.’ The lovely red-headed woman [Zo

REVIEW: Brilliant Kids Are All Right Brims with Grace, Smarts and Laughs

Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right is such a low-key feat of filmmaking that the scope of its offhanded generosity — toward its characters, its story, its actors and its audience — may not hit you until days after you’ve seen it. The movie finds its greatness in the margins, in the way one character might fumble through a particularly astute yet painful observation, or the way another muses aloud about how much a sperm bank paid him for the very stuff of human life. This is a comedy about what might be considered an alternative family, if only its members didn’t suffer so acutely from the same doubts, temptations, insecurities and longings that people in nearly all families do. The Kids Are All Right is more universal than it is alternative, except in one sense: There’s nothing else on the contemporary movie landscape like it.

Angelina Jolie Could Play Cleopatra In New Biopic

Producer Scott Rudin has optioned new book and is developing role for Jolie. By Adam Rosenberg Angelina Jolie Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images Would you buy Angelina Jolie as the last Egyptian pharaoh? Well, you may have a chance to soon. Stacy Schiff’s book “Cleopatra: A Life” has been optioned for a film adaptation, with the mega-star in talks for the title role. Details are sparse at this point: USA Today reports that Schiff and Little, Brown publisher Michael Pietsch revealed earlier this week that producer Scott Rudin had purchased the rights to the biography, with Jolie in mind for the starring role. A follow-up call to Rudin’s office confirmed that the movie “is being developed for and with Jolie.” Cleopatra (who was of Macedonian, not Egyptian, descent) has long been a subject for film treatments, extending all the way back to the early silent era. In 1899, Georges M
