According to my sources, this cute blonde is Dove Cameron , and she’s on the set of her new movie Monsterville: The Cabinet Of Souls here (whatever that is). And the good news is Dove’s 19 (I double-checked), so you don’t have to worry about these pictures getting you in trouble. The bad is that, unfortunately, she’s not playing a legendary monster hunter whose only weakness is wearing clothes (again, I double-checked). Hmm. Do you think it’s too late to rewrite the script?

There appears to be a disturbance in the force of Star Wars: Episode VII. Michael Arndt – the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3 – will no longer pen the script for this wildly anticipated 2015 release. Instead, that duty will fall to J.J. Abrams and Raiders of the Lost Ark scribe Lawrence Kasdan. Abrams, of course, is also directing the blockbuster, while Kasdan wrote The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Said Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy in a statement: “I am very excited about the story we have in place and thrilled to have Larry and J.J. working on the script. There are very few people who fundamentally understand the way a Star Wars story works like Larry, and it is nothing short of incredible to have him even more deeply involved in its return to the big screen. J.J. of course is an incredible storyteller in his own right. “Michael Arndt has done a terrific job bringing us to this point and we have an amazing filmmaking and design team in place already prepping for production.”

So after those MILF-tastic shots of Megan Fox on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set the other day, here’s some more of her in leggings jumping on a trampoline today because, hey, why not? Between all the bouncing and Megan’s booty in those leggings, I’m already starting to love this movie. It’s like they adapted the script straight from my dreams. Not to be a stickler for detail or anything though, but I’m pretty sure Megan was wearing a bikini top in my version. » view all 34 photos Related Articles: Megan Fox’s Hotness Comes Out Of Hiding Megan Fox Assumes The Position Megan Fox’s Cleavage Parade Continues Megan Fox Cleans Up Pretty Nicely Photos: WENN.com , PacificCoastNews , Fameflynet
Park Chan-wook’s reverence for Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch shines through in his English-language debut, Stoker . It’s a tightly wound thriller with psychosexual undertones and shocking — yet artful — violence in which, it seems, no detail is accidental and the details, both visual and auditory, add up to a lavish cinematic experience. Stoker chronicles the macabre coming of age of 18-year-old India ( Mia Wasikowska ) when her father is killed on her 18th birthday and her handsome but creepy Uncle Charlie ( Matthew Goode ) comes to stay with her and her emotionally remote mother Evie ( Nicole Kidman ). On the eve of the film ‘ s March 1 U.S. opening, I spoke to Park about his vision for the film, the alterations he made to Wentworth Miller’s white-knuckle script and the film’s connection to his 2009 vampire movie Thirst, even though, despite its title, Stoker has nothing to do with the undead or the supernatural. The soft-spoken filmmaker also told me why he doesn’t want to see Spike Lee’s take on Oldboy until it’s released weighed in on the movie violence debate that erupted in the wake of the Newtown shootings. But wait, that’s not all! Preceding the interview is an exclusive featurette, courtesy of Fox Searchlight, in which Park and his cast discuss the movie. Enjoy. Click here to view the embedded video. Movieline: This is your first English-language film, and it’s set in America. I’d love to know if you wanted make any kind of a statement about American culture in Stoker . Park: Although Wentworth was obviously influenced by Shadow of a Doubt , the first American film that Hitchcock made, it’s not a commentary on American society at all. What attracted me to the script was that the story deals with the very universal idea of this family relationship. It doesn’t matter what country you’re from, you’ll be able to relate to and enjoy this film. You have said that Hitchcock — and David Lynch as well — influenced you, but the character of India’s mother, Evelyn, would be at home in a Tennessee Williams play. Was that intentional? Actually, the intention was to not evoke Tennessee Williams because the script ran the risk of being so under that influence. Of course, I am a fan of Tennessee Williams, but it’s not where I wanted to go, though I don’t want to blame Wentworth for everything. [Smiles] Lady Vengeance and, to a degree, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance had to do with family and revenge. I feel like these themes connect your earlier work to Stoker . Would you agree? It would depend on who’s doing the interpreting. Take the vengeance theme, for example. Some people might say that this film has nothing to do with the idea of vengeance. But if you want to interpret it as a story about vengeance, you can. It lends itself to that interpretation just as well as any other. Well, without spoiling the movie, there is at least one of act of vengeance committed — more, depending on your interpretation. It’s certainly not the only theme, but it’s definitely there. You’re absolutely right. It is an entirely possible interpretation. And there you have the link to the Vengeance trilogy. But I would say that Stoker lends itself just as well to vampiric aspects and is more closely linked to Thirst . But I also wanted to focus on the coming-of-age story of a young girl, and in that sense, it’s closer to I’m A Cyborg But That’s OK. Evie’s coldness and cruelty toward India is quite memorable. Is that straight from Miller’s script or did you expand upon that in the storytelling? I actually weakened it. Take the example of Evie’s big monologue. She’s cursing her daughter — it’s a very, very cruel thing. But in the original script, the monologue ended with Evie telling India: “I can’t wait to see life tear you apart.” I wanted to add a deeper layer to Evie’s character. I wanted her to be surprised at herself for having said such a cruel thing to her own daughter. So, I worked with Nicole to add more action and dialogue. The result is that after Evie realizes the harshness of what she has just said, she tells India: “Who are you? Aren’t you supposed to love me?” And this is where we see that, underneath all of the vitriol, she’s a mother yearning for her own daughter to love her. And in that we find a very relatable and ordinary maternal figure. Have you gotten a chance to see any of Spike Lee’s remake of Oldboy ? I haven’t. I don’t have any detailed information about it, and I don’t want to find out any more than I already know. When the film comes out, I want to be surprised and stunned by the great filmmaker that Spike Lee is. The violence in your film is shocking, but it’s also integral to the story. I’d love to know your opinion of the debate here over cinema violence and whether it influences actual violence. I cannot believe that violence depicted onscreen actually causes people to act out violently. That’s oversimplifying the issue. If somebody commits a violent act after seeing violence in a movie, I think the question that needs to be asked is: would that person still have committed the act if he had not see a violent film?

We all remember Good Will Hunting as the touching drama about a troubled genius who works as a janitor (and something about apples, right?) The combination of an Oscar-winning script by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon , and Gus Van Sant , a director who, up to that point, had a career consisting of expert societal button-pushing, made magic. But as touching as the movie turned out, it’s important to note how different it could have been. Violently different. It’s well known that the original screenplay for Good Will Hunting was a thriller in which the genius main character was recruited by the FBI. Thank the gods that changed, but perhaps it was that genesis which led to Mel Gibson being first at bat to direct the film. Yep, it’s true. The news comes courtesy of Boston Magazine (via Movies.com ), which has published an extensive conversation with the cast and crew of the film in honor of its 15 th anniversary. Initially, Affleck and Damon, desperate to get the thing made, asked Kevin Smith if he’d direct it. Smith turned it down, but he passed the script to Harvey Weinstein , who positively flipped for it. From there, Gibson was brought into the project. “We met with Mel Gibson,” Affleck, who’s been doing a spot-on Weinstein impersonation since he made Good Will Hunting , said, “and Braveheart had just come out, and was as hot as could be. But we hadn’t seen Braveheart and Harvey was like, ‘YOU HAVEN’T SEEN BRAVEHEART? F*CKING LIE TO HIM AND TELL HIM YOU LOVE BRAVEHEART .’ So the first thing we said was, ‘We just want to tell you how much we loved Braveheart !’” Knowing what we now know about Mel’s mood swings, they probably made the right choice. Alas, a Gibsonized version of Good Will Hunting wasn’t in the cards. Mel dragged his feet developing the script for several months and Damon eventually had to ask the volatile filmmaker to let them take it elsewhere. “Matt at one point said directly to Gibson, “Look, man. We’re getting too old. If this keeps going by, Ben and I can’t play these parts. Is there any chance you’d just let it go?” And to Mel’s credit, he said, “I totally understand what you’re saying.” That was a real stand-up thing to do.” Well yeah, but Mel knows a thing or two about the dangers of getting too old for this shit. Obviously, this turned out to be for the best, at least if the film’s two Oscars are any measure. But I can’t help but feel that the world was denied something kind of magical on the day Gibson let them take their script to another director. Let’s have a moment of silence then, for the hyper-patriotic revenge obsessed version of Good Will Hunting that never happened.
