Report: Mike Myers is Back for Austin Powers 4

It’s been ten years since Mike Myers last donned international man of mystery Austin Powers’s teeth swingin’ ‘tude, perhaps for good reason — by the time Myers rolled around the 1970s with Beyonce’s Foxxy Cleopatra in 2002’s Austin Powers in Goldmember , the series had lost some of its driving mojo. But after a taking a decade to recharge, the franchise is said to be headed back to the spotlight with a new sequel, according to a report by HitFix’s Drew McWeeny.

Fast Five Director Justin Lin Already Has 12 Minutes of Fast Six in the Can

Director Justin Lin had no idea how well his supercharged sequel Fast Five would go on to perform back when he was filming it — but he prepped, shot, and cut a 12-minute sequence for a sixth Fast & Furious film (his next upcoming production) just in case: “I already have a 12-minute sequence done. I did it just as an exercise. I had it done before we were finished with Fast Five , actually. So I wanted to do that just to have it there and to be honest with you, I didn’t know if I was going to do a Fast Six . I didn’t know if people were going to embrace Fast Five and we were going to have an opportunity. But I felt like I really wanted to make sure that the last scene, which I had talked to Vin [Diesel] about countless times — I wanted to make sure that was done.” [ Box Office Magazine ]

Who Should Play Andrew Garfield’s Brother Happy in Broadway’s Death of a Salesman Reboot?

One of the grimmest plays of the 20th century, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman , is returning to Broadway with Mike Nichols as director and a star-studded cast next spring: Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman is slated to play the tragic protagonist Willy Loman, Linda Emond will play his wife, and Social Network Perkins doppelganger Andrew Garfield will play Willy’s son Biff, which makes perfect sense because Garfield has the Malkovichian hair flip . That leaves Willy’s other son Happy up for casting. Who should it be?

American Reunion Producer Admits American Pie Sequels Kinda Sucked

Almost all of the original American Pie gang is back for American Reunion — even MILF Guy Number 2 himself, John Cho — but producer Craig Perry admits it took a while for some of the cast to get over what the series had become: “As much as you say that the people maybe wanted to put that behind them, age and distance have made them realize that it’s their legacy, and you can either disavow it or embrace it and be happy,” he tells Box Office Magazine. However, Perry promises, Stifler will be more of a human being this time around. Wait a minute — Stifler, the buffoon who ingests all manner of disgusting crap accidentally for our entertainment , a fully-fleshed out character? What fun is that? [ Box Office Magazine ]

REVIEW: Opportunist Glee: The 3D Concert Movie Deserves a Slushie to the Face

One of the running gags in Fox’s effervescent hit high school series Glee is that no matter how things occasionally come up roses for the show choir freaks and geeks of McKinley High, there’s always someone, slushie in hand, waiting to take the Gleeks down a peg or two back to cold, brutal reality. Ironically, it’s that same multicolored frozen treat, globbed at the screen in slow-motion over the end credits of Glee: The 3D Concert Movie , that underscores a similar, sad burst of recognition that’s perhaps been long coming: For all the uplifting, inclusive good that Glee inspires in its young target demographic, it’s a property that’s become high on its own self-projected, self-congratulatory fantasy of “fuck the haters” do-goodingness. And there’s nothing more that Glee needs or deserves right now than a slushie to the face.

3 Simple Suggestions for a Global Clue Remake

Two and a half years ago, Universal announced that Clue was getting a big-screen revamp in the form of a global caper directed by Gore Verbinski. Well, most of that information remains true: Clue , Gore Verbinski, and globetrotting are all part of the picture, but Universal has dropped the property in favor of its other board game-based projects like Candy Land , Battleship , Ouija , and the Taylor Lautner-attached Stretch Armstrong . Now, here’s what makes Clue different than other board games — at least in my eyes: It rules , and those properties don’t. In order to protect the valor of Clue , Movieline is offering three ways for the film to retain the sinister cool of its original film and game(s). Frankly, Miss Scarlet, we give a damn.
