Zooey Deschanel Bringing 'Coal Miner's Daughter' To The Stage; Tom Hanks Broadway Bound With 'Lucky Guy'
11 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
We usually don't report on theater stuff, but when the names involved are as heavyweight as they are here, it's a bit hard to ignore, so onward...
Last night it was reported that Rachel McAdams was replacing Zooey Deschanel in Richard Curtis' "About Time," and while it's not quite clear why she bowed out, there won't be a lack of ambitious projects to take on. The actress/singer is set to star in a stage version of "Coal Miner's Daughter," the famed 1980 movie that told the story of country music legend Loretta Lynn and won Sissy Spacek an Oscar for her performance. The project is still in early stages, with a creative team still to get put together, but they are off on the right foot. Deschanel can belt the hell out of a tune, and as she's shown with She & Him, she's got twang to spare, so this seems like a no-brainer. »

They may be brothers and sisters in real life, but in the acting world, sibling actors are often fierce competitors. Sometimes they're even up for the same roles.

We've come up with a list of top actors who have competing brothers or sisters. Vote on your favorites of each brother-brother, brother-sister or sister-sister pairing -- and may the best siblings win.
The Wilsons
Luke Wilson: This Wilson brother has had a vibrant career since the mid-'90s, when he hooked up with Wes Anderson for "Bottle Rocket." He's known and loved for comedies like "Legally Blonde" and "Charlie's Angels," but occasionally takes a turn into darker filmic territory like "3:10 to Yuma."

Nashville, Tenn. — George Lindsey, who made a TV career as a grinning service station attendant named Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Hee Haw," has died. He was 83.
The Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness.
Lindsey was the beanie-wearing Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, "Mayberry Rfd," from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character on "Hee Haw" from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993.
"America has grown up with me," Lindsey said in an Associated Press interview in 1985. "Goober is every man; everyone finds something to like about ol' Goober."
He joined "The Andy Griffith Show" in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober Pyle, who had been mentioned on the show as Gomer's cousin, replaced him.
"At that time, we were the best acting ensemble on TV," Lindsey once told an interviewer. »

Crispin Glover on Freaky Deaky, His Castle, and ‘Corporate Television’
24 April 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
One of the acquisition titles at Tribeca, the film adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel Freaky Deaky, was set to star William H. Macy, Brendan Fraser, and Matt Dillon. But most of the cast was replaced at the eleventh hour by Crispin Glover, Christian Slater, and Billy Burke, who play the target of a bomb plot, an explosives genius, and a former bomb-squad expert, respectively. After its Tff premiere on Sunday, the movie had its international rights snapped up, which was good news to Glover, the most international member of the cast, as he spends a large part of his time in the Czech Republic these days, prepping several of his own indie film projects. Glover took a moment to chat with Vulture before his flight.So you and [director] Charlie Matthau went to school together as children?

Eric Bana Departs ‘Elvis & Nixon’; Malin Akerman Raises Skepticism Over ‘Inferno’
23 April 2012 6:58 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
It’s a bad day for historical pieces, with THR informing us that Eric Bana‘s left Elvis & Nixon, a dramedy that’s will mark the directorial debut of Cary Elwes. Other than his to-the-point note of “I’m no longer attached,” we don’t know what exactly made the decision go through; I’d guess scheduling is only the root cause, seeing as he’s already attached himself in an executive producer capacity. A shame — especially when you hear Bana does a great impersonation of The King, and I’d kill to see it — but I’m just hoping this can go forward with another top choice in the blue suede shoes.
Danny Huston will still appear in the other titular role, while Kevin Connolly (Entourage) and Luke Wilson were recently wrangled to take on minor parts. Written by Elwes and Hanala & Joey Sagal, Elvis & Nixon revolves around the »

Andrew Davis: The Hollywood Interview

Andrew Davis Returns To Stony Island
By Alex Simon
Director Andrew Davis made his name with hard-hitting action blockbusters like The Fugitive, Under Siege and The Guardian, but like most filmmakers, his first effort was a small film with a modest budget and a lot of heart. Davis’ directing debut Stony Island was shot in 1977, helmed by the then 30 year-old who had made a name for himself as a cinematographer, and conceived as a love letter to the South Chicago neighborhood where he grew up. Based loosely on the story of Davis’ younger brother Richie (starring as a fictionalized version of himself), who grew up as one of the few white kids in a largely African-American neighborhood, Stony Island follows a group of young musicians who try to form an R&B group in their racially-mixed neighborhood. Featuring the film debuts of now-notable names such as Dennis Franz, Susanna Hoffs, »

Eric Bana Won't Shake His Hips In 'Elvis & Nixon'; Malin Akerman Not Sure The Linda Lovelace Biopic 'Inferno' Is Going To Happen
23 April 2012 3:45 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
THR hit the ground running at the Tribeca Film Festival, and they've been busy finding out what the stars won't be doing in the near future.
First up, Eric Bana, who is in the Big Apple to promote his latest thriller "Deadfall" won't be wearing blue suede shoes anytime, unless it's for his own sartorial reasons. Last fall, the actor was attached to play Elvis Presley in "Elvis & Nixon" opposite in Danny Huston as the President with Cary Elwes making his directorial debut. The project centers on a Dec. 21, 1970, visit that Presley paid to Nixon at the White House, which was all initiated by The King after he wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Presley brought with him family photos and a Colt 45 pistol as a personal gift to the president. »

Chris Diamantopoulos Talks The Three Stooges, Honor in Reviving the Characters, and the Audition Process for Moe
11 April 2012 1:50 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
After being left on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns, newborns Moe, Larry and Curly grow up under the tutelage of Mother Superior (Jane Lynch), Sister Mary-Mengele (Larry David) and Sister Rosemary (Jennifer Hudson) in The Three Stooges. Now adults (and played by Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso), they set out to save their childhood home, but quickly become embroiled in an oddball murder plot (at the hands of Sofia Vergara and Craig Bierko), with all of the pratfalls and slapstick comedy that they’re famous for. During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, actor Chris Diamantopoulos talked about what it was like to embody Moe, how he got the role after a four-and-a-half-month-long auditioning process, the moment when he felt like he had really found the character, his most memorable moment on set as The Stooges, how he dislocated his shoulder and broke a finger doing their various pratfalls, »

First Look At Christian Slater & Crispin Glover In Adaptation Of Elmore Leonard's 'Freaky Deaky'
3 April 2012 12:31 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
So what do you get when you mix Christian Slater, Crispin Glover, Andy Dick and more in a '70s-set adaptation of a beloved Elmore Leonard novel? Well, you get "Freaky Deaky" which should be one of the more colorful entries at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month.
The story picks up with Chris Mankowski (Billy Burke) whose first day on the sex crimes unit of the Detroit Police Department does not go well. Not only does he fall for the first person to report an assault to him, he’s suspended for investigating the rich, powerful and completely drunk Woody Ricks (Glover). Chris takes matters into his own hands, only to discover there are all kinds of people trying to get something -- money, revenge, or both -- from Woody. From Woody’s former Black Panther nursemaid Donnell (Michael Jai White) who’s trying to work his way into the will, »

Outsiders Reboot On The Way?
1 April 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
This gritty street art posted on Reddit is a viral image making it's way around the web sparking talk of a possible Outsiders reboot! This is indeed possible as next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the film release and 2015 will bring the 50th anniversary since it's original publication. A modernized Outsiders film would be pretty awesome in my opinion, and if it promised to bring out young stars the caliber of Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe and Tom Waits...well let's just say this will be a Hollywood reboot no one will be disappointed in.

Community Directors Being Considered for Captain America 2?
30 March 2012 10:59 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
When it comes to choosing directors for their upcoming superhero flicks, Marvel seems to be thinking more and more outside the box. After surprising everyone by hiring Kenneth Branagh for Thor a couple of years ago, they tried to bring Patty Jenkins (Monster) on board for the sequel. She was eventually replaced by Game of Thrones helmer Alan Taylor, but now they are reportedly sizing up some interesting possibilities for the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger. According to Vulture, two of the directors under consideration are George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau) and F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job, Law Abiding Citizen). While Nolfi and Gray aren't coming completely out of left field, the potential frontrunners for the gig could actually be Anthony and Joseph Russo, a duo best known for directing several episodes of Arrested Development and Community. Word on the street is that Marvel Studios president of »

‘Mad Men’ Creator Matthew Weiner Readies Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis for Film Debut ‘You Are Here’
29 March 2012 12:01 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Seeing as he served as a writer/producer on Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Matthew Weiner is considered something of a TV god. Also, I hear that he has some new show called Mad Men that’s showing some promise; so he’s got the TV game locked down. But a transition into feature films has eluded him up to this point. Weiner wrote a dramedy called You Are Here back in the early 2000s. It’s about a freewheeling weatherman who goes on a road trip with his bi-polar best friend. The friend is kind of a man-child, but he’s in line to inherit some big responsibilities, which causes complications between the two. It sounds like something of a coming-of-age movie, but for grown-ass men. Over the years several incarnations of the film have almost made it into production with names like Matt Dillon, Jack Black, and Matthew McConaughey attached in various roles, but »
