4 Movies That Could Benefit From The 'G.I. Joe' Release Change
24 May 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" will have to wait another nine months to seek retribution. This week, in a shocking move, Paramount bumped the summer blockbuster off its June 29 release date and moved it to March 29, 2013.
Per studio insiders, the change was done to give director Jon Chu time to convert "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" into 3D, a decision that could pay off if it drives overseas ticket buyers to cinemas next year. (3D, while an increasingly frowned-upon fad in the U.S., is still big abroad.) According to star Dwayne Johnson, new scenes are being "designed" to "enhance" the 3D. It's a whole new "G.I. Joe" world -- one that could affect the fate of many other movies.
Ahead, four films that could reap the benefits of "G.I. Joe 2" moving to 2013.
"Ted" should make more money
About five hours after "Joe" was moved, Universal dropped Seth MacFarlane's R-rated comedy »

Last Night on Late Night: Josh Brolin Flipped John Krasinski the Bird
23 May 2012 11:51 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Josh Brolin got back at John Krasinski for the group F-you from the cast of Promised Land, specifically Krasinski himself, Matt Damon, and Gus Van Sant. Besides, Brolin admits, he can't help it if their mutual publicist likes him better. Plus: Charlize Theron grabbed her boobs to squash all rumors of a future boob job; and Jim Gaffigan recited a pretend-Victorian letter to his dearest Gwendolyn — why else is there still hotel stationery?

Hailee Steinfeld Explains 'Why We Broke Up'
23 May 2012 7:40 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Hailee Steinfeld is growing up. Sure, she held her own against Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon in the Coen Brothers' "True Grit" when she was only 14, but she's about to experience the true teenage rite of passage: heartbreak. Word on the Hollywood streets is that Steinfeld is in final talks to join the upcoming comedy, "Why We Broke Up." Need we say more?
Ok, we will (say more, that is). Adapted from a book by Daniel Handler (who also wrote the Lemony Snicket series), the story follows Min (Steinfeld), a high-school sophomore who enjoys hanging out with her friends at their favorite coffee shop. Sounds pretty tame to us. But when she falls for Ed, a senior and captain of the basketball team, she gets swept away by their roller coaster romance, which (we assume) ends kinda badly.
A few weeks after their break-up, Min drops off a letter and »

Ben Affleck Hosts Big Fundraiser For Politician's Senate Campaign
22 May 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Ben Affleck has given politician Elizabeth Warren a big boost as she seeks a senate seat in his native Massachusetts after hosting a star-studded Hollywood fundraiser for her campaign.
The Boston boy helped to raise $250,000 (GBP156,250) at the glitzy Monday night party, held at filmmaker J.J. Abrams' production base in Santa Monica, California.
Consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard Law professor, is fighting for the late Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts vacant office.
Affleck's pal Matt Damon and fellow Boston native John Krasinski were billed as co-hosts of the event, dubbed A Massachusetts Evening, but they had to bow out due to work commitments.
As well as Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner, other celebrities who attended the fundraiser included Reese Witherspoon, Zach Braff, Dana Delany and Tobey Maguire, while directors Steven Spielberg and Rob Reiner and movie moguls Jeffrey Katzenberg and Harvey Weinstein were among those who contributed to the success of the event. »
'Killing Them Softly' Star Scoot McNairy & Ruth Negga Join Steve McQueen's 'Twelve Years A Slave'
22 May 2012 2:27 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Scoot McNairy is on a hell of a run at the moment. The star of "In Search Of A Midnight Kiss" finally turned heads in a big way with Gareth Edwards' 2010 low-budget spectacular "Monsters," and ever since then he's been the toast of the town: he met for roles in "Prometheus" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," but ended up going down more grounded routes, with parts in Ben Affleck's "Argo"; in Gus Van Sant's "Promised Land" with Matt Damon; in Lynn Shelton's "Touchy Feely"; and in Andrew Dominik's "Killing Them Softly," for which McNairy earned rave reviews at Cannes this morning (read ours right here).
And clearly, he impressed his co-star in that film, Brad Pitt. The megastar is gearing up to produce and play a supporting role in "Twelve Years A Slave," directed by "Shame" helmer Steve McQueen, and according to Variety, he's bringing along McNairy, »

Ben Affleck, Matt Damon & More Rake In Big Bucks For Liz Warren
22 May 2012 2:20 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Ben Affleck joins the ranks of George Clooney, Ryan Murphy and other Hollywood figures who are throwing their celebrity behind the Democrats this election season. The actor hosted a massive fundraiser for Elizabeth Warren, who is running to take Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts senate seat back for the Democrats from the incumbent, Scott Brown.
The guest list for the event reads like a red carpet tip sheet at an awards show, with "The Office's" John Krasinski, Matt Damon, Jennifer Garner (Affleck's wife), Reese Witherspoon, Zach Braff, Tobey Maguire and other celebrities in attendance. Unsurprisingly, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg and a host of other Hollywood bigwigs sent checks.
Sources tell THR that well over $250,000 was raised for Warren's campaign at the event, which took place at J.J. Abrams' studio in Santa Monica. Though it's a far cry from the $15 million Clooney and company raked in for the president, »

Cannes 2012: We Interview Edward Norton on Moonrise Kingdom & The Bourne Legacy
22 May 2012 10:11 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
A new and welcome addition to ‘The Wes Anderson’s Players’ is Edward Norton, starring as the leader of a Khaki scout troop in Anderson’s latest film, Moonrise Kingdom (Moonrise Kingdom is out in cinemas 25 May).
I was lucky enough to speak to Norton in Cannes this week and he filled me in on what it was like working with Wes Anderson and also provided a few sparse details about the next instalment in the Bourne franchise, The Bourne Legacy.
Working on Moonrise Kingdom as part of an ensemble.
It’s great fun. I came up in the theatre, so it feels a lot like being in a theatre company. I’m still in a theatre company in New York so it’s very familiar and fun.
Wes Anderson’s way of working.
It’s not that much different… Sometimes things get as much dictated by the schedule you’ve got. »

Tom Cruise To Star In Remake Of 'The Magnificent Seven' For MGM
21 May 2012 4:21 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
"The Seven Samurai" is, as we recounted not long ago, a film that has been ripped-off and remade many times before. But the most famous of them is "The Magnificent Seven," the 1960 John Sturges Western that took Akira Kurosawa's classic and moved it to the Old West, for the story of a Mexican village who hire seven gunfighters to defend them from bandits. As a remake itself, it would seem to be fair game for a new version, but while new takes on, say, "The Wild Bunch" have been discussed, there's surprisingly been little word on a potential re-do of Sturges' film, despite the high-drama premise and potential star-power it could draw (although the Weinsteins were trying to get a "Seven Samurai" remake going).
Until now, that is. Variety report that remake-friendly MGM (who have "Red Dawn," "WarGames" and "Death Wish" in the works already) are delving into the archives to plan a remake, »

Lucas Black Adds ‘Promised Land’ and ‘42’; Terrifying Set Photos From Jackie Robinson Biopic Surface
21 May 2012 11:25 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Before we get to the casting items at hand, just you go ahead and look at that freaking image. No, this isn’t from the set of a horror film about a carnival of half-sized amputees; it’s for the biopic of a sports legend. Over at The Birmingham News, we’ve been able to gander at the production of Brian Helgeland‘s 42, which features newcomer Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson, while Harrison Ford, Nicole Beharie, Christopher Meloni, a large supporting cast of notable character actors, and inflatable people are also making onscreen appearances.
Well, no, not really. The nightmare-inducing creatures are actually being utilized for post-production, a time in which they’ll be replaced by digital figures that should, with any luck, seamlessly integrate with actual humans in the crowd. Although that’s obviously the best course of action for 42, I sort of wish they’d stick with these »

Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska are set to star together in the upcoming romantic drama "Carol."

"Carol" is based on the novella "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith, whose work has been adapted for the big screen in such noted suspense films as Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train" and, later "The Talented Mr Ripley," starring Matt Damon and Gwyneth »
