Posted on August 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The weekly roll-out of vintage Movieline continues today with a look at 1991 — that year when fashion began its incremental climb to respectability (on second thought, maybe not ), Robert Downey Jr. was on his first term of fame , and taking down Pretty Woman felt like a political act. Oh, and River Phoenix paid us a visit as well. It was a good year! Read on for a few more highlights.

Edward Norton Booted from The Avengers Due to Lack of "Creativity and Collaborative Spirit"

Posted on July 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Edward Norton is an Oscar-nominated actor. But that bullet point on his resume wasn’t enough to help the star keep his most recent job, as Norton has been booted fron the upcoming big screen adaption of The Avengers . The May 2012 movie will bring together Marvel comic book heroes such as Captain America and Iron Man. It will star Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson , Samuel L. Jackson and more – but will NOT include Norton in the role of Bruce Banner. The studio explained why in this harsh statement: “We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in the Avengers. “Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members. The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble… We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks.” Snaps, yo ! Replied a rep for Norton: “This offensive statement from Kevin Feige at Marvel is a purposefully misleading, inappropriate attempt to paint our client in a negative light… This seemed to us to be a financial decision but, whatever the case, it is completely their prerogative, and we accepted their decision with no hard feelings.” Norton starred in a 2008 remake of The Hulk that was panned by critics and bombed at the box office.

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?

Posted on July 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Sheesh, you go away for a few days and you come back and legendary ICM and WME agent Ed Limato is dead. He was 73 and had been battling lung disease.

He was there for me 30 years. I will miss him.” Hear hear. [ Deadline ]
