Malin Akerman Pipes Up As Blondie for ‘Cbgb’; Ahna O’Reilly Joins Ashton Kutcher-Led ‘Jobs’
25 May 2012 3:19 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Her shot at playing Linda Lovelace probably didn’t go as planned, so it’s time for Malin Akerman to take on a classier figure — if Blondie can be considered “classy” in the first place. ShowBlitz has learned that the actress will be seen as the ’80s icon for Cbgb, an account of the infamous New York City rock club and its owner, Hilly Kristal, who Alan Rickman will inhabit; his Harry Potter co-star, Rupert Grint, is expected to play Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome.
Past reports have indicated that these three will be the central figures of Cbgb, and when one looks over the club’s history — in terms of performers, events, and societal significance — you get some idea of the scope director Randall Miller (Bottle Shock, Nobel Son) will be aiming for. His own, prior credits give me a bit of pause, even if Rickman likes him, but »

'Continuum': Everything You Need To Know About The Sci-Fi Cop Show
25 May 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
I'm standing in a drab, monochromatic police department TV set in Vancouver that could quite feasibly serve as the base for any number of procedural police dramas on the air right now. Except this particular police show has something none of the others do: a foxy cop from the future. Yes, the cop and sci-fi genres have been melded together for the hot new summer show "Continuum," set to debut on Showcase this week.
The show follows Keira Cameron (Rachel Nichols, "Criminal Minds"), an officer with the Vancouver City Protective Services (Cps). We first meet Keira in 2077, when she's a regular "protector," wife and mother going about her business. When she's placed on guard duty during a mass execution of seven terrorists, she's jolted 65 years into the past when the prisoners deploy a high-tech, time-travel escape. She's disoriented -- to say the least -- when she finds herself in the »

Minka and Matthew to Play Jackie and JFK
24 May 2012 8:07 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
In some bombshell casting news, Minka Kelly and Matthew McConaughey have just been cast as Jackie Kennedy and John F. Kennedy.
What?!
Precious director Lee Daniels just revealed that the two will play the Kennedy couple in his upcoming project The Butler, which is based a Washington Post article by Wil Haygood on Eugene Allen, the late White House butler who served eight presidents during his tenure from 1952 to 1986. Forest Whitaker will play Allen, with Oprah Winfrey playing his wife. The presidential roles also serve up quite the ensemble cast with Alan Rickman playing Ronald Reagan, Jane Fonda playing Nancy Reagan (seriously, she's playing a conservative?!) and John Cusack playing Richard Nixon.

But by far the biggest stretch is Matthew and Minka. Could you even see Matthew without the Texas twang and his party boy image to play the president of the United States?! And yes, Minka »
Kanye West's Cruel Summer screens out for attention at Cannes

The rapper's 30-minute short film, which premiered across seven screens in a Cannes car park near the Palm beach, is a wobbly, wandering showcase of West's taste for the grandiose
Kanye West can say that his directorial debut played at Cannes. In a tent, in a car park, 40 minutes walk from the Palais, but it played here. The red carpet at the premiere for Cruel Summer – a 30-minute short presented across seven 20ft square screens – ran directly past a cluster of photographers before stretching towards the sea on its way to the screening room. West (and guests including Kim Kardashian and Jay-z) walked the important part. The cameras clicked and registered the moment. Kanye cut across the bays to his seat.
Made in association with the Doha Film Institute, Cruel Summer stars West's Good Music protege Kid Cudi as a bloke of bad stock. Dad was a car thief – Kid's »

Cannes, France — Kanye West is nothing if not ambitious. The rapper/designer/mogul has added a few more slashes to his name, as producer, writer and director of the experimental short film "Cruel Summer," which had its premiere during a splashy party Wednesday night during the Cannes Film Festival.
The 30-minute short, inspired by West's upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation of the same name, was projected onto seven screens inside a tented pyramid, designed to give viewers a fully immersive experience. "Cruel Summer" stars G.O.O.D. artist Kid Cudi as a car thief who falls for a blind Arabian princess. The seven screens alternately come on and off, »

Steve Jobs occupied centerpiece position during an award show that was otherwise filled with memes like “Owling” and “Sh*t Girls Say.” Justin Long and John Hodgman did a short comedy routine/history lesson about the role Jobs took in Apple’s advertising. Following was a heartfelt and somewhat volatile rant by Richard Dreyfus and a video montage of important Americans—including President Obama—extolling the virtues of Jobs’ visionary work.

Steve Jobs Movie Starts Shooting in Original Apple Garage
21 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
A press release was sent out last week for Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs Biopic revealing that the film has started shooting in the original garage where Jobs founded Apple with Steve Wozniak. They also announce that the title of the indie film will be jOBS, the lower case j is a play in the lower case i that Apple uses in their projects. Maybe iJOBS would have made more sense.
The movie is being directed by Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote, Neverwas) and the goal is to make the most authentic and accurate film about Jobs that they can. Here's some information on the film from the official press release:
The film covers Jobs from his early years as an impressionable youth and wayward hippie, through his initial successes and infamous ousting, to his storybook return and ultimate triumphs as a man who set out to change the world and did just that. »

Woz not great
17 May 2012 6:04 PM, PDT | Encore Magazine | See recent Encore Magazine news »
In this guest post Tony Prysten argues that the thousand dollar price of seeing out-of-touch Apple co-founder Steve Wozniack on his Australian tour was a waste of money.
This week, for the cost of two iPads (yep, two) I went to the Woz Live conference in Melbourne. I was not impressed.
Having purchased my first Apple, the Steve Wozniak-designed Apple IIe, somewhere around 1980 and having owned pretty much every Apple device since then, I was excited at the opportunity to hear from the co-founder of a company that has been a big part of my creative life.
The calibre of heavy tech and innovation hitters in the room also suggested that expectations were quite high with full tables booked by the likes of Nab, and young Australian of the year ‘engineering visionary’ Marita Cheng in attendance.

I'm completely underwhelmed by ABC's pilots this year, but a report from the presentation mentioned a joke by Jimmy Kimmel. "'If you pay Britney Spears $15 million, how much do you have to pay someone who can sing?' Kimmel said, which was met with a pitying groan. 'Oh, I didn't realize this was a gay audience!'" Honestly, knowing what I know of the reporters attending, how could he not know it was a gay audience?
I suddenly feel very old.
