Sympathy for Delicious wasn’t exactly the toast of Sundance 2010, but with a cast that includes Orlando Bloom, Laura Linney, Juliette Lewis, Noah Emmerich, John Carroll Lynch, screenwriter Christopher Thornton, and first-time director Mark Ruffalo, it earns a second look in its new trailer. We can quibble about the use of Rolling Stones lyrics to illustrate the movie’s theme of healing, but at least “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” stays out of the fray.

The film joins Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris as the only selections officially set for this year’s fest, though its status in or out of competition remains unknown.

It’s going to be a bumpy weekend. A scant couple of millions separated first place Limitless from fifth place Rango in the Friday box office, with the difference between number two Battle: Los Angeles , number three Paul and fourth place Lincoln Lawyer being just a few hundred thousand. Look for a lot of jockeying for position and a lot of chest-puffing the next few days, and of course watch the numbers change as the final amounts coming pouring in. Your Friday box office is here.

One of my favorite running jokes in Mystery Science Theater 3000 is when one of the characters would say the name of the crappy movie they’re in and the bots would wildly exclaim, “And we’ve got a title!” Well, some enterprising soul has gone one better and cobbled together 81 movies that say their 81 titles in just two minutes. But color me shocked that the above-mentioned “Forget it, Jake; it’s Chinatown.” didn’t make the cut. C’mon, man! Space Chimps gets the nod but Jake Gittes gets left out in the cold? Are there any of your favorites that didn’t make the montage? [ HaveYouSeenThis? via Vulture ]

While Jodie Foster the actress has a rich and varied resume — horror! science fiction! childrens’ adventure! whatever Flightplan was! — but as a director, she’s stuck to smaller, family-based dramas, including SXSW’ s sweetheart, The Beaver . But speaking to the Los Angles Times , Foster says she’s ready to direct a sci-fi thriller. Promising that it’ll have her usual Fosteresque “family element” as well as plenty of “genre moments,” Foster is still chewing over the details of the script with an unnamed writer. And of course, she still has to finishing shooting Roman Polanski’s Carnage as well as Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 follow-up, Elysium before she can turn her eyes sci-fi-ward. But let’s just hope that her next leading man isn’t also an unrepentant racist, anti-Semitic, wife-beating raging homophobe . It’ll make the press junket a lot simpler, I would think. [ LAT ]
