Inglourious Basterds New Poster & Soundtrack Info

10 July 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds was at one point just an idea for a project that he always said he’d do, but never quite seemed to get to. Then, suddenly, the project picked up steam and before we knew it, Inglourious Basterds was finished and premiering at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. The marketing for Basterds has been in full speed for a few months now, with posters, images and trailers galore.

Today we have a new poster for Inglourious Basterds, along with the news that the soundtrack will go on sale close to the film’s theatrical release. But before we get onto the soundtrack info, take a look at the 14th poster for Inglourious Basterds (yep, there’s been that many). Is it just me, or does Brad Pitt look sort of… odd? Check it out:

Hanging With Brüno At The Brooklyn Academy Of Music

10 July 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

by Jett Wells

Watching Sacha Baron Cohen being Brüno is like watching a psycho with a personality disorder. For the time being, he isn’t the popular entertainer who rose to prominence in the United States with “Da Ali G Show” and “Borat“: he is Brüno. And he wasn’t going to break character when he made an impromptu appearance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last Tuesday.

Brüno was a surprise guest at a MySpace-sponsored screening of his new movie at Bam. He slipped in from the back of the theater and jumped right into the crowd. Not quite on the level with his shocking appearance — and run-in with Eminem — at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards in May, but close enough.

He wasn’t wearing a naked body suit. No animal costumes either. Really, none of his previous movie premiere outfits. He did show up in full black and red leather body suit.

Brad Pitt's 'Moneyball' Rolling Again

10 July 2009 7:34 AM, PDT | From www.actressarchives.com | See recent Actress Archives news

Last month, "Moneyball," the biopic of Billy Beane based on Michael Lewis's acclaimed book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game," was put on hold after director Steven Soderbergh and Sony came to blows regarding the screenplay. According to Variety, Sony shot down the Academy Award-winning director's documentary-style interpretation of the script saying that it wasn't marketable enough. The future of the film, which was slated to begin shooting last month, was put in question, but it looks like the "Moneyball" has been set in motion once again. Aaron Sorkin, "The West Wing" and "A Few Good Men" writer, has been brought in to rewri ...

Sorkin Penning Pitt's Moneyball

10 July 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Aaron Sorkin is ready to play ball. With Steven Soderbergh dropping out of its Brad Pitt vehicle Moneyball, due to the usual "creative differences," Columbia Pictures is aiming to get the baseball film back on base by hiring West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin to give it a nice polish so it can move into production. But exactly who will be taking the reins on the project is another matter. The studio's president, Amy Pascal, put the brakes on Moneyball last month because she wasn't keen on the Ocean's Thirteen helmer's less-than-commercial vision for Steven Zaillian's latest draft, which the studio loved but which he wanted to turn into a docudrama featuring interviews with real-life...

Angelina Jolie has finally found time to pursue her hobbies - the actress has resumed her flying lessons.

The Tomb Raider star was granted a pilot's licence in 2005 and bought her own plane but has been forced to put her flying ambitions on hold because of family commitments - giving birth to three children and adopting one more since gaining her qualification.

Jolie's partner Brad Pitt took up flying lessons earlier this year and now she has followed him back into the sky by jumping into the cockpit of her Cirrus Sr-22 at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California on Thursday.

Pitt's Moneyball On Again

10 July 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Brad Pitt's baseball movie Moneyball is rolling again, with West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin rewriting the screenplay.

The Billy Beane biopic was scheduled to go before cameras at the end of last month but filming was halted after studio executives at Columbia Pictures reportedly fell out with writer/director Steven Soderbergh over his revamped script.

Soderbergh has since walked away from the project, according to reports, and Sorkin has stepped in.

Pitt will play Oakland A's manager Beane in the film.

A new director has not been named.

Moneyball Still Alive, Soderbergh Out as Director

10 July 2009 3:44 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news

A couple of weeks ago, Sony's Columbia Pictures unexpectedly announced that it would scrap Moneyball, Steven Soderbergh's planned baseball flick. The announcement came just a few days before shooting was to begin in Phoenix.

Today, Variety reported that Sony plans to continue the project, but without Soderbergh behind the camera. Sony Chairman Amy Pascal reportedly read Soderbergh's rewriteof Steven Zaillian's screenplay and objected to the changes. Soderbergh had apparently planned an unorthodox narrative structure and a documentary style that the studio worried would alienate audiences. There also may have been a secondary concern that the baseball-centric theme would detract from worldwide ticket sales.

Brad Pitt is still on board to star as Billy Beane, the Oakland A's manager whose unique economical and statistical approach allowed the team to compete with more lucrative baseball franchises such as the Yankees.

The studio will also hire Aaron Sorkin to make some changes to Zaillian's script,

Canceled Brad Pitt Movie Could Rise Again

10 July 2009 3:10 AM, PDT | From PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news

Jaws dropped last month when Sony Pictures canceled the $50-million Brad Pitt movie Moneyball only days before it was scheduled to start shooting - but now, apparently, the studio is working to shut those mouths. The West Wing writer and creator Aaron Sorkin has been brought in to do a quick re-write on a script that Sony had ultimately deemed too arty and documentary-like in approach, reports The New York Times. The studio also hopes to add Oscar-winning producer Scott Rudin (There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men) to the movie's creative team. Based on Michael Lewis's nonfiction

Aaron Sorkin Joins Columbia’s Moneyball

9 July 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

Although acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbegrh is no longer attached to direct, Columbia’s Moneyball has found new life in writer Aaron Sorkin. The screenwriter, known for his TV credits including The West Wing and Sports Night, has signed on to rewrite the film. Brad Pitt is still attached to star. The original screenplay, which is based on Michael Lewis' nonfiction bestseller Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, was written by Oscar winner Steve Zaillian (Schindler's List). Soderbergh also wrote a draft, which is where the problems first arose. Production on Moneyball was set to start last month, but Columbia’s Amy Pascal wound up pulling the plug on the film just days before shooting was to begin when Soderbergh’s new version of the script wasn’t what the studio wanted to make.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno Wishes for Butt-Naked Segment With Robert Pattinson

9 July 2009 7:48 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

More than a month after his butt-naked segment with Eminem at 2009 MTV Movie Awards, Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno opens up that he actually wished he landed his nude bottoms on Robert Pattinson's face. Attending a MySpace-sponsored screening of his upcoming movie "Bruno" on Tuesday, July 7, he revealed to MTV, "Robert Pattinson was actually the row in front, and if I'd landed on him they would have needed the fire engines to unclench my thighs from his neck."

When asked about his infamous encounter with Eminem during the star-studded awards show back in May, Bruno said, "Well, Eminem behaved like a total bi---. I mean, he pretended like he'd never 69'd a guy before." He continued, "The reality was, when I was down there with my [butt] in his face and my head between his thighs, I felt something poking into my cheek, and I felt why he was actually called Slim Shady.

Producers Look At Button Technology To Age Potter Kids

9 July 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

The brains behind the last Harry Potter film are looking to use technology that aged Brad Pitt in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button to give the 20-something stars of the film franchise a more mature look.

Boy wizard Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, and his pals Hermione and Ron have to grow up quickly in the two-part finale, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, and director David Yates and producer David Heyman aren't going to take the magical scenes lightly.

Yates says, "We're still exploring how we're gonna do that. It's an absolutely beautiful part of the (J.K. Rowling) book and one of the most unique things of this franchise is the fact that you've grown up with these characters and that's what makes it special for the audience.

"We will be delivering that at the end of part two, and we're looking at various options of how we do it."

And Heyman adds, "A lot of Benjamin Button is making them look younger and we're taking people, who are 20 years old, and making them look like they're in their late 30s, so that's a different experience.

"We may use some of the techniques that they did in Benjamin Button, but we're going to do everything we can and it will be Daniel, Emma and Rupert in the parts and not some other actors."
