Is Leonardo DiCaprio Right for Beyonce’s A Star is Born Remake?

Posted on June 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Reflecting on all my years (one) of reviewing Bad Movies We Love, I think the most epically bad is the ’76 version of A Star is Born . Towering chestnut afros, Kneivel-like motorcycle accidents, the appearance of Gary Busey — it’s huge bad. But the newest update on Beyonce’s planned remake could be a step towards an even worse production: Leonardo DiCaprio is rumored to be discussing the Kris Kristofferson role with new director Clint Eastwood. Is this a good or groan-inducing idea?

‘Isn’t it Awesome?’ Elijah Wood on The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings 10 Years Later

Posted on June 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Elijah Wood has a new hit on his hands in Wilfred , the offbeat FX comedy about a depressed young man’s relationship with the canine next door — whom he happens to visualize and converse with as a dude in a dog suit (played by the show’s co-creator, Jason Gann). Wilfred debuted last week to 2.6 million viewers, the network’s highest ratings ever for a comedy premiere. Not bad at all, but it has a ways to go before catching up with the other phenomenon in Wood’s life.

Tom Hanks Alludes to Toy Story 4 in Mumbly, Hanksian Way

Posted on June 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In a BBC interview for his Larry Crowne press tour, Tom Hanks responded to a question about the possibility of a Toy Story 4 with the following mumblecore prose: “I think there will be, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they’re working on it now. There you go.” Nervous yet? Toy Story 3 concluded perfectly; a third sequel feels like a recipe for disaster, a sure way to turn the whole series into a Punchline . Stand clear, Sally Field. [ AICN ]

John Goodman in Negotiations to Play Hollywood Expert in Ben Affleck’s Argo

Posted on June 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

John Goodman is reportedly negotiating to join Ben Affleck ‘s Argo , the period political drama about a real-life covert operation to rescue six U.S. diplomats during the Iran hostage crisis in 1979. The kicker, and where Goodman comes in, is in the unusual circumstances of said rescue, in which the Canadian government enlisted Hollywood make-up and effects experts John Chambers and Bob Sidell to help the Americans escape in disguise as crew members of a fake science fiction film.

Posted on June 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In case you didn’t get the memo, Hollywood really wants Liam Hemsworth to be a movie star. Which is why the potential latest acting choice for Hunger Games ‘ Gale is a bit of a curveball: Thor’s little brother in talks to star in the indie film AWOL , a Vietnam-era romance about a solider (Austin Stowell) who goes AWOL with his buddy (Hemsworth) to win back the heart of the girl who dumped him in America ( Aimee Teegarden ).

Does Fire With Fire Have the Most Random Cast Ever Assembled?

Posted on June 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Earlier this year, your friendly editors at Movieline wondered whether the cast of The Big Bang (with Snoop Dogg, Antonio Banderas, Sam Elliott, James Van Der Beek and Autumn Reeser) was more random than the cast of the animated film Dorothy of Oz (Lea Michele, Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Dan Aykroyd, Hugh Dancy, Oliver Platt, Megan Hilty and Martin Short). Well, it looks like the cast of Fire With Fire trumps them both. Put together.
