Geoffrey Rush Will Lend His Voice to Green Lantern

Bertie isn’t the only one with a voice. Deadline reports that Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush will lend his unmistakable pipes to Green Lantern as Tomar-Re, the alien scientist who helps train Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Between this bit of voice casting and the Warner Bros. acknowledgement that the first trailer for Martin Campbell’s hopeful summer blockbuster wasn’t very good , the Green Lantern Comeback Tour is off to a strong start.

James Franco & Mila Kunis Confirmed To Join The Wonderful World Of Oz

Coming Soon is reporting that Sam Raimi has officially cast James Franco as the titular, fast-talking conman in Oz, The Great and Powerful, his adult-tinged prequel to the Wizard of Oz . And errant ballerina Mila Kunis is also coming aboard at the witch Glendora; no word as to whether she is a good witch or a bad witch. It’s long been rumored but I think Franco is great choice for a silver-tongued scamster — after all, didn’t he con us all into thinking he’d be able to host the Oscars? [ ComingSoon ]

Woody Harrelson to Advise John McCain in Game Change

Another day, another casting announcement for HBO’ s Game Change , the movie about the 2008 presidential campaign. Woody Harrelson has been added to the apparent Oscar-nominee-only cast as Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s senior campaign strategist and adviser.

What Should Be The Weinstein Company’s First Video Game?

A tremendous week of news deserves no less a finale than this: The Weinstein Company is going into the video-game business . “The TWC Games label will utilize The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films’ strong and recognizable properties, and work with external partners to develop and publish video games for mobile, social, and console platforms,” announced a press release, punctuated by Bob Weinstein’s observation: “With all of the digital platforms, there are so many opportunities to broaden our audience with compelling, high quality, cost-efficient, video game entertainment.” No kidding! But what should come first?

Help Caption These Photos of Jesse Eisenberg Hang Gliding

If there was ever a perfect afternoon for a hang gliding lesson in Rio de Janeiro, it was today. At least that’s what new photos of Rio star Jesse Eisenberg suggest. The normally serious actor looks like he was having a ball learning valuable lessons of flight. Since Movieline HQ is in a “joining” mood this afternoon, let’s all throw on our best sporting helmet and glide through the jump to caption the hilarious/adorable full-size images.

Did Superman Returns Disappoint Because It Was Too Female Oriented?

While Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch getting knocked around by critics , it’s as good a time as any to remember that he’s the man responsible for bringing Superman back to the big screen for Warner Bros. The renewed enthusiasm for the Man of Steel here in 2011 has led some to wander back to 2006, and the nearly forgotten about Superman Returns from director Bryan Singer. How come that movie failed to connect with audiences? Singer has an idea.

Black Swan Ballerina Says Natalie Portman Basically Didn’t Dance

I was almost positive we’d never have to talk about awful-ass Black Swan again, but here comes a kick-ass, scorned ballerina with a tale to tell: Sarah Lane, a 27-year-old American Ballet Theater soloist who worked as a body double on Black Swan , tells EW that there’s a “cover-up” to prevent people from knowing she performed 95% of the cygnet moves in the movie. Now, I can’t guarantee that Sarah isn’t wearing black wings and circling her house right now like a crazed Sean Young type, but her quotes sound legitimate.

Weinstein Co. Pushes Apollo 18 Release Back to January 2012

Looks like The Weinstein Co. has discovered a new release date for the Timur Bekmambetov-produced “found footage” moon landing pic Apollo 18 . (In the immortal words of Bob Weinstein, ” Found, baby! “) The bad news is that the mystery project, originally slated to open next month, is moving aaaaall the way from April 22 to Jan. 6, 2012. Yeesh. A last-minute nine month delay doesn’t bode terribly well for any film, but then again, so little is known about Apollo 18 just yet that maybe it doesn’t matter much. At least this gives the Weinsteins plenty of time to add ReleaseQuest™: Apollo 18 to their slate of upcoming video game adaptations . [ Deadline ]

Bill Cosby Welcomes You to the Weekend with Glorious Dubstep

Celebrated TV and film actor Bill Cosby (loved him in Ghost Dad ) once had a program called The Cosby Show with seriously fabulous opening credits. Those credits have been remixed to an electronic dance beat, and I’m telling you Sabrina La Beauf has never been funkier. Mysteriously, Lisa Bonet is the worst. Anyway: Have a glorious weekend and let Phylicia Rashad’s sashaying lead the way! [ YouTube ]
