Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence to Star in Crossover of 90s Characters Sheneneh And Wanda
5 hours ago
In what I can only pray is a kind of “That would be fun, we should make that movie someday,”-story because I can’t fathom why Jamie Foxx would want to go back and make a movie starring his stand-up/”In Loving Color” character, Wanda Wayne. You don’t see Jim Carrey angling for a Fire Marshall Bill movie and Foxx has far more respect and critical appreciation than Carrey.
On the other hand, I completely understand Martin Lawrence digging his stand-up/”Martin” character, Sheneneh Jenkins for a movie since Lawrence has shown he has no interest in expanding beyond the “College Road Trip”/”Big Momma’s House”-type films he’s done for the past several years. But regardless of their career trajectories, Lawrence and Foxx are planning to star in a feature film crossover of their 90s, ugly women character, “Sheneneh and Wanda”. Hit the jump for details. »

Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, and Barbara Hershey Join Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan Starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis
6 hours ago
I thought casting on Darren Aronfosky’s upcoming film, “Black Swan” was finished. You had Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as rival ballet dancers. Audiences wouldn’t mind seeing the two of those women in leotards for two hours so why waste money hiring other actors. I mean, sure the story might demand other characters but I think that’s overkill. But if more actors have to come on board, you could do far worse than Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, and Barbara Hershey who have now joined the cast. Hit the jump for details.
For those just tuning in, Portman plays ballet dancer Nina who is competing with a rival dancer, Lilly (Kunis) for the role of Odette, the Swan Queen, in the upcoming production of “Swan Lake”. There’s only one slight problem: Lilly may just be a figment of Nina’s imagination or a supernatural apparition. Either way, »

From Seven to The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud - David Fincher and Andrew Kevin Walker Reunite
7 hours ago
Can two former collaborators once again create the movie magic where a film builds to a point of having Brad Pitt cry, “What’s in the box?! What’s in the fucking box?!” I think “Seven” is a highly entertaining film but what will director David Fincher and screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker create 15 years later? It looks like we’re going to find out. The two have re-teamed to adapt the supernatural thriller “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud”. Hit the jump for more details.
According to Heat Vision, David Fincher is attached to direct the new adaptation of the Max Ehrlich novel, “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud” which will be penned by Andrew Kevin Walker. Fincher will produce with Michael De Luca. De Luca is also part of the reunion as he was the president of production over at New Line when Fincher and Walker made “Seven”.

10 hours ago
As most of you know, this weekend was the press junket for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” here in Los Angeles. Since so many of the cast were in attendance, Summit Entertainment divided up the actors by who they played in the movie. Since Michael Sheen (Aro), Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius), Dakota Fanning (Jane), and Cameron Bright (Alec) played the Volturi in “New Moon”, it made sense they would share a press conference. So if you’d like to read or listen to what they had to say about their characters and being in “New Moon”, hit the jump.

Director Duncan Jones Cracks The Source Code with Jake Gyllenhaal; Jones Also Puts Moon Props and Costumes Up for Auction
11 hours ago
For the moment, it looks like “Moon” writer-director Duncan Jones is hitting the pause button on development for his upcoming film, “Mute”. The film is currently struggling through the financial phase because it’s going to be a sci-fi film with a higher budget than the critically acclaimed “Moon” and since it’s an original idea that may not appeal to every single demographic, “Mute” is in a holding pattern. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait for Jones to make a return to directing as he’s signed on to helm “The Source Code” written by Ben Ripley, revisions by Billy Ray, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
In addition to this great news, Jones has announced that he will auction off around 70 items from “Moon” starting tomorrow at noon Eastern/9am Pacific. Hit the jump for details on both endeavors.
According to Screen Daily, “The Source Code” is the story »
