NBC Adds Another Urban Comedy Project To Their New Season!
27 October 2009 1:57 AM, PDT | The Humor Mill | See recent The Humor Mill news »
It looks like the NBC Network is stepping it up with more urban shows for the upcoming season as we hear that they added another new urban show to their slate.
Last week we first reported that NBC had landed actor Don Cheadle (of Crash and The Ocean 11 films) and Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder for a new urban half-hour comedy series about brothers who reunite after a long dispute to open a private security company to their own dismay.
Well, this week we hear that NBC has added a new show titled Ordinary People which is about a married couple in their late 20s who are fast-tracked professionals with four kids. The father figure named Kevin, after spending most of his time on the road as a Rolling Stone music reporter, is promoted to columnist and works from home, a change that requires adjustment for everyone in the family.

Every now and then, a movie comes out that transforms a male actor into someone to be desired, adored and often watched for decades to come. We're experiencing such a phenomenon now with Robert Pattinson, who has essentially starred in one wide-release movie and had "Twilight" transform him from "Who's that?" to "Hottest Man Alive" overnight.
But where does RPattz go from here? Will he launch a decades-long career? Work with directors like Spielberg and Scorsese? Or will he become another Hollywood cautionary tale? Below are a handful of beefcake breakouts transformed by one major role, whose careers could perhaps give guidance to the Sparkly One.
Arguably the greatest male cinematic sex symbol of all time, actors like Pattinson and James Franco continue to »

Timothy Hutton Evens the Score with Leverage

The Oscar-winning actor talks about his popular TNT series, the upcoming second season and more
Timothy Hutton is an actor who's career shouldn't need any introduction. After becoming the youngest actor to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at age 20 for Ordinary People, Hutton never stopped working, launching a career full of diverse roles in film and television. Now the actor gets to portray many diverse characters in one series, playing Nathan Ford - who has to assume several identities to pull off these white-collar scams against the rich - in the wonderful TNT series Leverage, which comes back for a second season on Wedesnday, July 15 at 9 Pm Et, and you can also catch Leverage: The 1st Season in a four-disc DVD set on July 14 (check back for my full review of the first season DVD set by tomorrow).

Gary Ross Joins 'Spider-Man 4' Writers
9 July 2009 2:10 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Will third time be the charm for the Spider-Man 4 script? Variety reports that Gary Ross, an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, director and producer, has been hired to rewrite the latest installment of the comic book hero.
Ross is best known for writing and directing Seabiscuit and Pleasantville, which also starred Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire. However, before he turned helmer, Ross wrote the screenplays for Big and Dave to much critical acclaim as well as Academy Award nominations.
Ross is currently rewriting a Columbia Pictures film about Lance Armstrong, the cyclist who came back from testicular cancer to win seven Tour de France titles. He has also been mentioned in connection to Tokyo Suckerpunch, an adaptation of Isaac Adamson's novel, which was put on the backburner after star Anne Hathaway developed a scheduling conflict.
The original Spider-Man 4 script was written by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) and rewritten by David Lindsay-Abaire. »
Yet Another Writer Hired for Spider-Man 4
9 July 2009 6:58 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
I'm not quite sure what's going on with Spider-Man 4 right now, but apparently the script is still being kicked around, and this week yet another new screenwriter has been brought in to have a crack at it. Columbia has hired Gary Ross (Pleasantville, Seabiscuit, Big) to do a rewrite, who has previously worked with Tobey Maguire on a number of projects. Story details are still very much under wraps. This makes Ross the third major writer to join the project after James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) and David Lindsay-Abaire (Inkheart) also wrote previous versions of the screenplay. For the moment it appears that Sam Raimi is not having a hand in writing the screenplay himself. So is this a reason to start worrying about the film? I don't think so. While too many rewrites can leave a movie nearly incoherent, this doesn't always have to be the case. Let's not forget »

What Hollywood is Not Letting You See
18 June 2009 8:09 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Several years back, an article in the Los Angeles Times dealt with Hollywood closing its doors to writers over the age of 40. In it, a producer was quoted as saying that he could hire two 25-year old writers for what it would cost him to hire one Alvin Sargent. (Alvin Sargent had recently written the Oscar-winning "Ordinary People," as well as "Paper Moon," "Julia," the "A Star is Born" remake, and many others.) I wrote a letter to the newspaper, which it published. All I asked was one question - "Why in the world would you want to??" It's worth noting that in the following years, Mr. Sargent (despite thoughtlessly becoming over 50) continued to write or co-write such films as "What About Bob?," "Other People's Money" and "Hero." Oh, and also all three "Spiderman" movies.... »

Moore: 'I Hid Alcoholism Well'
31 March 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Beloved U.S. actress Mary Tyler Moore has opened up about her best-kept secret - she fought alcoholism for years.
In an exclusive TV interview, the Ordinary People star confessed she hid a drinking problem for years - and not even her closest friends and family knew she was drunk.
She says, "An alcoholic woman, in most people's eyes, was one who had just really gotten sloppy, gotten dirty."
Moore hopes her big reveal helped other alcoholics seek help: "Being able to come out and talk honestly about that (alcoholism) gave a lot of people the opportunity to look at themselves carefully and say, 'Hey, yes I look good, my clothes are nice and I'm warm and delightful, but I'm also an alcoholic.'" »

The 31 Stupidest Oscar Moments
17 February 2009 6:45 AM, PST | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
1. Best Picture Outrage The Academy has a knack of anticipating the best films in any given year/decade/career by not rewarding them at Oscar time. In 1981 it was Martin Scorsese’s still-searing boxing masterpiece Raging Bull, which lost a points decision to Robert Redford’s schmaltzy, po-faced grief ‘em up Ordinary People. 2. Bugsy’s Perfect 10 Oscar has always had his clear favourites, and arch smooth operator Warren Beatty is definitely one of them. How else to explain the fact that his dreary and disjointed... .
