She may not have a sex tape, but Leighton Meester's new "Somebody to Love" music video sure makes us wish the Gossip Girl star had one. After all, the sight of the scantily dressed actress singing seductively into the camera, writhing around in the back of a limo and crawling on all fours in a hotel room is pretty freakin' hot. Throw a little French in there to boot and, well, we haven't been this turned on since we heard Angelina Jolie talking in Russian. »

The Angelina Jolie/Johnny Depp thriller The Tourist is one of Hollywood's hottest projects, and it's something of a hot potato. Jolie and Depp replaced Charlize Theron and Sam Worthington, respectively, and until recently, Oscar-winning director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) was attached to direct. Last week, though, several outlets reported that von Donnersmarck was off the picture and that Alfonso Cuaron and other directors were circling the project in advance of a February start. I caught up with von Donnersmarck on the red carpet of the Behind the Camera Awards last night, and when I asked him what had happened with The Tourist, his answer surprised me. »

When this writer first met Robert Pattinson, he was a relatively obscure British actor who'd received a tiny bit of notoriety from appearing in a "Harry Potter" flick. It was April, 2008 and as we talked on the set of this tiny flick titled "Twilight" during a night shoot in the middle of a small Oregon town, he considered a scenario where he might not continue acting. Perhaps he'd focus on the music side of career, perhaps not. Needless to say, what a difference a year and a half makes. Arguably up there with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as one... »

Lots of trailers this week, with something for just about everyone. There's action movies, animated flicks, romantic comedies for menopausal ladies, video game adaptations, serious family drama, weird western/film noir flicks where Jessica Alba gets her bare ass strapped by a belt (and loves it)...and Uwe Boll.
We finally got to see Angelina's Salt and Prince of Persia, the summer blockbuster (or that's the hope) with Jake Gyllenhaal. But the one that really grabbed our attention was The Killer Inside, a twisted bit of sociopathy with Casey Affleck as a demented lawman who gets raunchy with Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson. Twisted, twisted stuff for Alba. And it's a longer trailer than the norm, because it's being used as a sales tool this weekend at the American Film Market.

Wow, does The Killer Inside Me look weird »

If you follow the production of films you will soon become aware that many changes often take place on the journey from script to celluloid.
But even by those standards, The Tourist has gone through a surprising number of cast and crew members coming and going.
The latest to arrive through the project's revolving door is Johnny Depp, who is now in talks to play the lead role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Initially, Bharat Nalluri was on board to direct the thriller, with Tom Cruise in the lead. Charlize Theron was set to co-star.
But then Cruise left and Sam Worthington was brought in as a replacement.
After that, Charlize Theron departed and in came Angelina Jolie. Bharat Nalluri dropped out and the studio brought in German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.
Following that, Sam Worthington dropped out and von Donnersmarck moved on. Alfonso Cuaron is now heading for the director's chair. »

When Kurt Wimmer’s (Equilibrium) script for Salt was originally picked up by Columbia Pictures, Tom Cruise was attached for the lead. However, scheduling conflicts or it’s resemblance to Mission: Impossible caused him to take a walk, leaving the role wide open for Angelina Jolie.
A few gender tweaks were all they needed to turn this Cold War thriller into an action vehicle for a strong woman. Having read the script, audiences are in for one hell of an awesome flick in July 2010.
The trailer indicates there have been some changes since Wimmer’s draft, which received rewrites by Brian Helgeland (Oscar winning screenwriter of Mystic River). For example, a key assassination attempt is shown as an explosion rather than the sniper operation described in the script’s quickly-turning pages. But it’s clear from the trailer that one thing remains as the core element in the film: this »

Although Y tu mamá también was Alfonso Cuaron's breakout film in terms of proving his talent and putting him on Hollywood's radar, it was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Children of Men that made him an instant favourite among fantasy and sci-fi fans. Of course, Children of Men was released back in 2006, and Cuaron hasn't really done much since then outside of producing. Now this week it looks like his next directorial gig may finally be falling into place, picking up the pieces of a potentially high-profile project that has gone through multiple changes to cast and crew. If all goes according to plan Cuaron will direct The Tourist, a remake of the 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, about an American vacationer in France who is unwittingly used as a decoy for a French spy. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) had previously been attached, »

If you lived through the late '80s, it’s hard not to have a soft spot for Winona Ryder. Little Noni with her pixie haircut and her big eyes, her pale skin and her goth before goth was even a thing sensibilities. Ten years have passed since her last big splash in the movies with Girl, Interrupted. Since then she has still worked steadily, though often in smaller roles and less high-profile pieces. And she has kept largely to herself and often shunned the spotlight.
So it was great to read her take on her own life now in the new BlackBook interview to promote her upcoming film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. For a person who doesn’t give interviews all that often, she sure gives great copy.
On why her career has slowed:

Charlize Theron stepped out for the La premiere of The Road last night with Stuart Townsend and mom Gerda by her side. Her hair and wardrobe were light, but Charlize spiced things up with a deep red pout. Those lips sadly won't be getting anywhere near Johnny Depp in the near future - he's in talks to sign on to The Tourist, which Charlize dropped out of last month only to have Angelina Jolie pick up the role.

The trailer for Salt debuted in low-fi Russian a couple of days ago, but here it is in rather spiffing English, making events a good bit more comprehensible for those of us on this side of the former Iron Curtain. Check it out over here on Yahoo!That's Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer implicated in a supposed plot to assassinate the President of the Us. Rather than simply talk things out (which would make a well boring movie) she goes on the run, dyes her hair and generally starts crashing vehicles into anyone who tries to stop her quest to prove her own innocence and save El Prez.The film's directed by Phillip Noyce, who knows his action onions, based on a script by Kurt Wimmer and Brian Helgeland. It also stars Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor. »

The large round of musical chairs for the The Tourist continues.
Last month we reported that Angelina Jolie replaced Charlize Theron on the American remake of French film Anthony Zimmer and now it seems like Johnny Depp is in talks to replace Australian actor Sam Worthington. The role originally had Tom Cruise slated to star.
Depp would play an American tourist drawn into a “web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.”
The 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer was directed by Jérôme Salle. It starred the lovely Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal.
Jolie remains on the project, however, along with Worthington, original director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has left the project. Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron still in talks to replace him.
The Tourist is still on schedule to begin production in February.

When does the movie business ever go as planned? Rarely, it seems, as evidenced by the change-ups with the upcoming thriller The Tourist, the remake of the 2005 French film, Anthony Zimmer.
We recently reported that Angelina Jolie had replaced Charlize Theron in the movie, with Jolie joining the already-cast Sam Worthington (who originally replaced Tom Cruise). Then a week later came news that after previously attached director Bharat Nalluri had stepped away from the project, The Lives of Other director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck was being eyed to helm the film instead.
All seemed to be in place and The Tourist was set for an early 2010 shooting start. However, although the latter is still true, there appears to Still be major change-ups happening, as not only is yet another new director being looked at to now replace Donnersmarck, but Worthington may be getting replaced by Johnny Depp!
