Looks like Spike Lee got his rumored dream star for the Oldboy film he’s helming: Deadline reports that Josh Brolin will lead the English-language remake of Park Chan-wook’s 2003 thriller about a man held prisoner for 15 years who sets out for revenge upon release. With Brolin onboard, will Christian Bale sign on next as his mysterious foil? (And how faithful will Lee’s remake be to the brutality of the original?)

In What’s Your Number? , Anna Faris stars as a woman who revisits her past sexual conquests in the hopes of finding her real soulmate. She seemingly won’t have much luck with her prior lays, if only because Chris Evans plays her probable future sexual conquest/soulmate — but, hey, it’s the thought that counts. That thought is at the center of the French poster for What’s Your Number? , which features the film’s very-direct French title change. Click through for a look and a chuckle.

The little movie that couldn’t has become the little movie that still probably won’t but will have fun trying: Since Tuesday, when we brought you the story of The Worst Movie EVER ! and its unprecedented $11 opening weekend , a groundswell of lookie-loos from around the world have made the trailer a mini-hit on YouTube and initiated something of a cult following on Facebook. It still has a ways to go before reaching The Room levels of notoriety , but for now, anyway, it can still claim one critical distinction: Nobody has any idea who its one ticket-buying viewer is.

Because Hollywood never met a property it didn’t want to resuscitate, Sony has commissioned Source Code screenwriter Ben Ripley to pen its remake of Flatliners . The Joel Schumacher-directed 1990 film starred Julia Roberts (and her awesome hair), Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland and Billy Baldwin as medical students toying with near-death experiences to increasingly dangerous outcomes. Sorta like movie executives continuing to mine former VHS faves for redux treatment! [ Deadline ]

Lone Scherfig’s One Day may have received mixed reviews last week but one aspect of the film has been universally panned: Anne Hathaway’s distractingly shaky Leeds accent . In honor of the actresses’s awkward Yorkshire articulation, LIFE has compiled a list of the twenty “Worst Accents in Movie History.” Can you guess which actor is impressively listed three times?

Spoiler alert: the apes of San Francisco rise up at the end of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and put the human race on a collision course for extinction. If this scenario were to really happen, though, it wouldn’t likely start by the bay. BrowBeat contacted San Francisco zoo officials and the United States Department of Agriculture and found that only 25 apes currently reside in the Bay Area, meaning an ape uprising would likely be better contained than what’s presented in the late-summer blockbuster. Phew. Dodged a bullet there, humanity. [ Slate/BrowBeat ]

When Guillermo del Toro ( Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth ) set out to update the scariest movie he’d ever seen as a child — the 1973 made-for-television movie Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , about inhabitants of a house who discover sinister creatures living in the basement — he intended to frighten and thrill a new generation of youngsters. Even co-star Katie Holmes , who makes a rare genre appearance in the Del Toro-produced and co-scripted horror pic, found the script to so terrifying that she knew she had to do it. But is Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , as the MPAA deemed, too scary for kids?
