Amy Adams on 'Into the Woods' and a possible Broadway debut
16 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Since Into the Woods cast three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams, who carved out space in a packed film schedule to play the Baker’s Wife, rumors have been swirling that it might live happily ever after on Broadway. It’s an obvious move: Stephen Sondheim’s musical is a longtime theater favorite that hasn’t been in NYC since 2000, and Timothy Sheader’s 2010 production, which the Public Theater is adapting for Shakespeare in the Park, has already won over critics in the U.K., where it picked up an Olivier Award for Best Revival.
Adams has at least four projects in the can right now, »

This Week on Stage: An actor breaks a leg, old Jews tell jokes, and a 'Cock' fight wows Off Broadway
25 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
That old actor’s adage “Break a leg” is not supposed to be taken literally. But that message apparently didn’t make it to Michael McKean, the Laverne & Shirley and This is Spinal Tap alum now starring in the hit Broadway revival Gore Vidal’s The Best Man. The actor was hospitalized Tuesday with a broken leg after being struck by a car in New York City; James Lecesne will be playing his role as a presidential campaign manager for the foreseeable future.
Otherwise, it was relatively quiet on the theater scene, though L.A.’s Geffen Playhouse announced that »

Brooke Shields to play the mother in stage version of 'The Exorcist'
18 May 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
There are two surprises in that headline, and I’ll guess that the bigger shock is that The Exorcist — the 1973 horror classic that wrought hellish nightmares on a generation — will take the stage in a new adaptation (of the original novel) at L.A.’s Geffen Playhouse. And yes, Brooke Shields will be playing the mother.
The play will frighten audiences courtesy of Tony Award-winning director John Doyle, the Tim Burton of the theater community, well-known for his genre-challenging productions (like his everybody-plays-their-own-instrument mountings of Sweeney Todd and Company). In Doyle’s wicked world premiere, stage and screen vet Shields »

Brooke Shields to Star in Exorcist Play
18 May 2012 11:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Brooke Shields and Richard Chamberlain will headline an upcoming stage production of The Exorcist, L.A.'s Geffen Playhouse announced today. Shields will play the mom, Chamberlain will play the sage Father Merrin, and 23-year-old Emily Yetter will play Regan, the little girl who tells priests that their mothers suck cock in hell. According to playwright John Peilmeier, "The story of the battle between faith and evil needed no spinning heads or green vomit," which others might argue is what makes The Exorcist different from, oh, the epilogue in Spoon River Anthology. Anyhow, barf-free play opens in July. »

Brooke Shields To Star In The Exorcist Play
18 May 2012 5:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Brooke Shields and Richard Chamberlain are bringing horror classic The Exorcist to the stage.
In the creepy new adaptation, Shields will take on the part of Chris MacNeil, the mother of demonically possessed child Regan, while Chamberlain will play priest Father Merrin.
Ellen Burstyn and Max von Sydow originally starred in those roles in the cult 1973 film.
Playwright John Pielmeier insists the production will scale back on the movie's more gruesome scenes.
He says, "The story of the battle between faith and evil needed no spinning heads or green vomit. The horror should unfold instead on a simple set with an incredible cast (which we absolutely have), and the central conflict between doubting Father Karras and the demon should be a series of debates, in which the young girl possessed is the least of the figures present."
The Exorcist will open at Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse on July 11. »

In an interview with Playboy magazine, Cruise throws us all an early birthday present by addressing all of the gossipy bits readers want to know, from how he feels about wife-of-six-years Katie Holmes to his not-so-nice comments about Brooke Shields to his much publicized commitment to Scientology.
Some highlights from the monster of an interview, which runs in the June issue of Playboy, on stands Friday:
On all those rumors about him:
Do you wish they wouldn’t say certain things? Yeah, you wish. Does refuting things help? Not really. There comes a point when you just have to go, You know what? Here’s how I’ve lived my life: I’ve never been late to set. »

Event Report: RoboCop: 25th Anniversary Screening
14 May 2012 4:31 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The mid-1980s and early 1990s were a big time for the film industry in Dallas, TX. I would say it was the most prosperous in the city’s history. The Studios at Las Colinas were booming with business from movie productions like Silkwood, Talk Radio, and more.
One of the biggest and most celebrated films to come out of the Dallas area during this period was Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop.
The Dallas International Film Festival (Diff) used their 2012 event as the perfect time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of RoboCop. The celebration took place at the historic Texas Theatre where police caught Lee Harvey Oswald after the JFK shooting. The establishment now features some first run screenings but focuses on independent projects, special events, and revivals of old movies.
A red carpet walk by members of the cast and crew of the movie kicked off the event. »

Brooke Shields rocking a cane at the Met Costume Institute Gala
9 May 2012 8:23 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Actress Brooke Shields, looking simply marvelous in a draped J. Mendel gown at the Met Costume Institute Gala on Monday evening (May 7), had a bit of an unusual accessory to go with her dress and clutch - a cane.
Was it a fashion statement? No, not really.
Shields tells E! News host Giuliana Rancic that she tore her meniscus, which means she ruptured one of the fibrocartilage strips in her knee, while performing in the Broadway musical "The Addams Family." Shields took over the role of Morticia Addams from Bebe Neuwirth in June 2011 and performed in the production until it closed on Dec. 31, 2011.
But she says it was "not a big deal," just an inconvenience and she did wear flip flops under her floor-length gown instead of high heels. And at 6'0, we think if anyone can pull off flip flops on the red carpet, it's the statuesque Brooke Shields. »
