Remember 'Shanghai' Starring John Cusack & Chow Yun-Fat? Well, It's Going Straight To Blu-ray...In England
10 May 2012 8:58 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Imagine you have a film with a cast of established international names like John Cusack, Chow Yun-fat, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Franka Potente, Gong Li, David Morse and Ken Watanabe, a director who’s done some respectable work on Hollywood thrillers like "Derailed" and “1408,” a ‘40s period setting, and the prestige of producer Harvey Weinstein to boot. Sounds like Oscar fodder at the very least, right? The thing is, you don’t have to imagine, because this film exists, it's called "Shanghai," and it's been sitting on Weinstein’s shelf for almost four years since it wrapped in August 2008, with a trailer hitting back in May of 2010 ahead of a June release solely in China, and radio silence ever since.
Now it looks as if the film will see the light of day again, as a Blu-ray from U.K. home entertainment distributor Entertainment In Video is on the way. The »

Who else would you cast in 'The Fast and the Furious 6'?
24 April 2012 2:23 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
If franchises were baseball teams, then The Fast and the Furious would be the Oakland Athletics. As recounted in last year’s Moneyball, the A’s could never afford to pay superstar salaries. So, using a system known as sabermetrics, they put together a ragtag band of players: aging players who could make base hits, rookies who could read pitches, journeyman has-beens with the uncanny ability to just keep getting on base. None of these dudes was a star. But together, they made a franchise.
I submit to you that last year’s Fast Five is a model for Hollywood sabermetrics. »

Wood Struggles To See Exes As Friends
24 January 2012 11:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Elijah Wood cuts off ex-girlfriends immediately after break-ups because he struggles to adjust to having former partners as friends.
The Lord of the Rings actor, who has previously been linked to Franka Potente and Ellen Page, split from longterm model/musician partner Pamela Racine in 2010.
Wood admits he's still on good terms with his exes, but it takes him time to welcome them back into his life after a split.
He tells The Insider, "I find it really difficult to be friends with my ex-girlfriends immediately.
"I always felt like I need at least six months to a year of time away - it's not a harsh thing, it's just about being able to differentiate between the relationship as a romantic one and your time as friends and re-establishing the friendship." »
