Ridiculous Rewrite: Walken And Pacino Shoot Clouds In ‘Stand Up Guys’
1 June 2012 9:37 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
(This is a spoof article using genuine images for a Ridiculous Rewrite of the plot. For real details, click here)
Look at some new images from Stand Up Guys, a haunting new drama about dementia.
Christopher Walken (Kangaroo Jack, Gigli) and Al Pacino (Jack & Jill, Gigli) star as two former hitmen who, in their youth, would kill for money and then lay on the grass, finding shapes in the clouds above. Now in their twilight years, the pair find themselves in the torturous grip of dementia, and far from being calmed by the fluffy white sky pillows, they’re absolutely Furious. So every day they leave their nursing home all guns a-blazing, determined to shoot down every cloud that passes.
Here we see Pacino’s character Bunty particularly enraged by a passing group of altostratus, and shooting’em up with extreme prejudice. Alas he fails to really make a dent, »

We’ve survived 38 episodes, more than 150 live performances from the Top 25, and heaping portions of wilted word salad from Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler. And now, we’ve reached the final two episodes of American Idol‘s eleventh season.
Yep, it’s all come down to the dolphins-vs.-egg beaters matchup that finds pint-sized diva Jessica Sanchez and Her Deadly Heels competing against swampy guitarist Phillip Phillips and His Roguish Flash of Chest Hair, and I’ll be live-blogging the whole blessed hour!

As 'Battleship' Flops: Ten Other Memorable Box-Office Bombs
21 May 2012 10:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
To have one giant money-losing tentpole is unfortunate. To have two starts to look careless, and that's what's happened to Taylor Kitsch. The actor, who broke out on TV's "Friday Night Lights," was seen as Hollywood's next great hope, picked out to star in two great big blockbusters with a combined cost of half-a-billion dollars. But when "John Carter" arrived in March, the film wildly underperformed, with Disney taking a hit of at least $100 million on the project. And after this weekend, it looks that his other film, "Battleship," is going to lose similar amounts.
The film, Universal & Hasbro's adaptation of the board game, directed by "Hancock" helmer Peter Berg, had taken the unusual step of opening everywhere else in the world six weeks ahead of the U.S, in the hope of bagging lucrative foreign coin and building buzz for the U.S. release. But while the film did ok abroad, »

These 3 'What to Expect' Clips Are Pregnant With Laughs
17 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
You may have heard "What To Expect When You're Expecting" was coming out, but with all these superstars bearing bulging bellies, what you should expect from this comedic spin on the classic baby manual is hormones aplenty.
On the ladies side you have Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick, and Brooklyn Decker (not too shabby), while the antsy men in the audience have the dude-centric antics of Rob Huebel, Thomas Lennon, Chace Crawford, Dennis Quaid, and Chris Rock to appease them.
1. Yes, Dennis Quaid, we get it, you're super-virile. Classy.
2. Anna Kendrick dealt with plenty of wolves in "Twilight," but they had nothing on this hound.
3. How could Jennifer Lopez be embarrassed of anything after "Gigli"?

Sibling Rivalry: Vote for Your Favorite Brothers and Sisters
10 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
They may be brothers and sisters in real life, but in the acting world, sibling actors are often fierce competitors. Sometimes they're even up for the same roles.
You could call these cases of sibling rivalry being played out on the big screen a real family affair, along the lines of "Mom always liked you best."
We've come up with a list of top actors who have competing brothers or sisters. Vote on your favorites of each brother-brother, brother-sister or sister-sister pairing -- and may the best siblings win.
The Wilsons
Luke Wilson: This Wilson brother has had a vibrant career since the mid-'90s, when he hooked up with Wes Anderson for "Bottle Rocket." He's known and loved for comedies like "Legally Blonde" and "Charlie's Angels," but occasionally takes a turn into darker filmic territory like "3:10 to Yuma."

Ben Affleck’s Argo Trailer Arrives
9 May 2012 1:55 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
It’s been an odd journey for Ben Affleck. A successful acting career spanning nearly ten years was derailed by some pretty terrible decisions, with ‘Gigli’ (2003) and ‘Surviving Christmas’ (2004) among the worst. It seemed like Affleck’s career had come to a disappointing end.
It was 2007′s outstanding ‘Gone Baby Gone’ which marked the return of Affleck as one-to-watch in Hollywood. Only this time Affleck was behind the camera, providing solid direction to his Boston crime-drama. ‘Gone Baby Gone’ was received extremely positively by audiences and critics alike, with much of the attention being drawn by this debut filmmaker.
2010 saw him return to directorial duties with his follow up ‘The Town’. Also putting in a great turn in front of the camera, ‘The Town’ proved Affleck was no one-trick pony in the director’s chair, delivering one of the best films of 2010. Thus, Ben Affleck managed to turn a waning »

First Trailer for Ben Affleck's Argo Debuts
8 May 2012 11:08 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Ten years ago, a movie called Argo would sound like the perfect campy sci-fi project for Ben Affleck, who back then was starring in bombs like Gigli, Paycheck, and Reindeer Games. But for today's Affleck, who has proved to be a successful director after helming Gone Baby Gone and The Town, Argo is a political action thriller. Now, we get a look at the movie via its first trailer.
Affleck also stars in the movie as Tony Mendez, a CIA technical operations officer who creates a fake Hollywood production (titled Argo) in order to rescue six Americans from the Tehran hostage crisis with the help of Hollywood producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) and Academy Award–winning makeup artist John Chambers (John Goodman). It would be hard to believe the story was plausible if it weren't true (read the Wired article that inspired the story). "This is the best bad idea we have, »

Watch: Ben Affleck Rescues Iranian Hostages In 'Argo'
8 May 2012 9:54 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Ben Affleck's new (real) movie "Argo," directed by the actor, is about making a new (fake) movie in 1970s Iran. If only 2003's "Gigli" was a fake movie; it would have saved Affleck a lot of public embarrassment.
However, Affleck seems to have risen above his shameful past, and now, he's starring in a cinematic thriller based on an outrageous real-life story: In order to rescue six American diplomats trapped in Tehran in 1979, a group of undercover CIA agents, led by Affleck's character, set out to make a fake Hollywood sci-fi movie that takes place in Iran. The agents pose as film crew and travel to Tehran in the hopes of smuggling the diplomats away.
Judging from the trailer, it looks like things might not go as planned.
Affleck's film may be labeled a dramatic thriller, but there are a few zingy lines from John Goodman and "Breaking Bad's" Bryan Cranston. »

First Trailer For Ben Affleck's Argo: Dream On
8 May 2012 7:16 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Ben Affleck, at one point known as one half of Bennifer and the star of Gigli, has executed an impressive career turn-around lately by becoming a director. His debut Gone Baby Gone was a lean and smart crime thriller that earned an Oscar nomination for co-star Amy Ryan, and 2010's The Town expanded the criminal scope a bit while also making room for strong performances and Affleck's own increasingly strong voice behind the camera. Now with his third effort, Argo, Affleck is getting away from Boston criminals-- really, about as far away as you can imagine. Telling the true story of the rescue of the hostages held at the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran after the revolution there, Argo involves government agents, Hollywood studios and a fake science fiction movie that actually succeeded in rescuing some hostage. To know more, take a look at the new trailer-- it's posted »
‘Runner, Runner’ Is Not a ‘Rounders’ Sequel, But It’s Close Enough
23 April 2012 10:53 AM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
“There was [a script] we wrote that I knew was a movie. It was mind-boggling to me that it wasn’t a movie.” That is how screenwriter Brian Koppelman (Rounders) described an original script he co-wrote with his lifelong best friend David Levien. Comedian Jay Mohr was pressing him to talk about any un-produced scripts that he wished had made it, earlier this month on the conversational comedy podcast “Mohr Stories.” Koppelman said he “couldn’t talk about that one” but it was finally shooting this summer with two stars, restoring his faith in the system.
Koppelman was talking about Runner, Runner, another drama set in the world of high-stakes gambling, and the stars are Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake. Shooting starts in Puerto Rico this June with Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) at the helm, Variety announced two weeks later.
*Update: Koppelman and Levien began writing it in August 2010 and turned »

Ben Affleck Is 'Nathan''s Famous Movie Star
29 March 2012 1:20 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
For the last few years, Ben Affleck has been doing his writer/director thing, and as films like "The Town" and "Gone Baby Gone" show, he's been doing it pretty damn well. But as cool as those films are, handling every aspect of a production takes a lot of time, which for many fans has meant far too little of Affleck the actor.
Would fitting in just one extra role between projects be too much to ask?
Your wish is Affleck's command, because according to The Hollywood Reporter, Affleck has agreed to star in the upcoming Warner Bros. political comedy "Nathan Decker."
See, that wasn't so hard, now was it?
Written by "Crazy, Stupid, Love." screenwriter Dan Fogelman, "Nathan Decker" tells the story of "a politician who is caught in an affair and returns to his hometown to confront his past." Tom Cruise had originally been slated to play the led, »

Ben Affleck to Play Cheating Politician 'Nathan Decker' in New Project
29 March 2012 11:27 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Having starred in 2009's State of Play, Ben Affleck is no stranger to playing a politician with an illicit secret. Now the Boston-bred actor/director is going to be stepping into a similar role as the title character in Nathan Decker, a political comedy written by Fanboys star and Crazy, Stupid, Love writer Dan Fogelman. THR has the plot which follows Decker, a politician caught in an affair who has to return home and confront his past. Though Affleck now has considerable experience behind the camera, he won't be directing this one. Currently he's in postproduction on Argo, so the WB is looking for a director. Read on! For a while, Affleck's career was the brunt of jokes involving poor film choices (cough, Gigli, cough), but ever since he got the directing bug, he's been a lot better respected in the film world.

The Town Ultimate Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
22 March 2012 6:05 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Few career resurrections/resuscitations have been so pronounced as Ben Affleck’s. Post-Gigli and Surviving Christmas, there was a sense that Affleck was going to live in the shadow of his previous successes and showcase the career path that Matt Damon managed to avoid. But his turn to directing has enlivened his career, leading to better roles (or at least better chosen ones) and an earned respect for his behind-the-scenes talents. In The Town, Affleck stars as a bank robber looking to get out, but is sucked into one last score. Though The Town isn’t quite as good as Gone Baby Gone, it shows that Affleck can handle action and suspense fairly well even while starring in the film. Co-starring Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Blake Lively and Jeremy Renner, our review of The Town: Ultimate Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray follows after the jump. Affleck plays Doug McRay, »

Because the Guy You Want to Direct a Sequel to a Movie as Great as ‘Midnight Run’ is Brett Ratner
22 March 2012 3:18 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There have been a lot of small, brilliant pieces of movie news lately. Cool ideas and interesting people attached to projects with potential. That’s why it’s particularly bitter to hear news that feels a lot like gargling acid. This specific swallow comes from Deadline Fredericksburg who report that Universal is back to mining their own library to come up with Midnight Run 2. Maybe a sequel would be a good idea. Who knows. Martin Brest had his own sins as a director, but Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run were his best. It’s tough that he ended his career on Gigli, but it might be even tougher that Universal is working with Brett Ratner to direct a sequel to the Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin-starring flick about an accountant trying his best to keep breathing while the FBI, some bounty hunters and the mob are on his tail.

Brett Ratner To Direct Midnight Run 2
22 March 2012 1:15 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Universal Pictures are reviving plans for a 25-years-later sequel to their well remembered 1988 classic Midnight Run, which has original star Robert De Niro attached to reprise his tough bounty hunter Jack Walsh.
Deadline reports that Brett Ratner (Tower Heist, Rush Hour) has now entered talks to sit in the director’s chair which has sent the Internet film community into a furious rage but just like his recent attachment to the MTV origins movie “I Want My MTV”, I actually think this is a property where he could deliver something decent out of. He did himself make a decent mismatched buddy action comedy with the first Rush Hour movie, though where his mindset was for the sequels I don’t know.
G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra and Four Brothers writers David Elliot and Paul Lovett have been tasked with re-writing Tom Dowling’s (Role Models) original script for Midnight Run 2. »

Midnight Run 2 adds new screenwriters and Brett Ratner

It's been nearly two years since we reported anything on Midnight Run 2. Last we heard, Charles Grodin, who played Jonathan Mardukas in the original was out since Martin Brest would not come out of his cave to direct. Brest hasn't gone anything since Gigli. I don't blame him for not taking a chance on this one. Robert De Niro is still attached to reprise his role. Originally, Timothy Dowling (Role Models) was set to script, but now new writers have been brought in. David Elliot & Paul »

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Coupling Makes 'Relanxious'
13 March 2012 5:17 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are bringing their off-screen romance to the big screen.
The real-life couple will play a make-believe couple plagued by all sorts of neuroses that put severe limitations on their relationship in the new romantic comedy, "Relanxious," according to Deadline.
"Relanxious" (not the best title in the world, is it?) chronicles the courtship between Barrett (Wilde), a young woman who suffers from extreme anxiety, and George (Sudeikis), a severe agoraphobic. Their relationship is limited to a series of phone calls that consist of conversations about the dates they would go on if they could just conjure the courage to leave their respective apartments and face the outside world.
Puts a whole new spin on the idea of "existential romance," doesn't it?
This somewhat depressing-sounding comedy co-stars Brie Larson (who will be soon be seen in "21 Jump Street," opening March 16) as Barrett's sister and Fred Armisen (Sudeikis' »

New on DVD/Blu-ray: The Town (2010) Ultimate Collector’s Edition
7 March 2012 7:40 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
It’s hard to believe Ben Affleck has just two films under his belt as a director (with a third, “Argo”, on the way). “The Town” was his second movie, and it shows a surprisingly confident eye behind the camera. In front of the camera, Affleck seems to have also matured noticeably as an actor, and this is coming from someone who was never that big a fan of his. Certainly, he hasn’t exactly been stretching his acting muscles, especially during his “Hollywood movie star” days on films like “Gigli” and “Paycheck”. “The Town” is a ballsy crime thriller about childhood friends and a man looking for a way out, and Warner Home Video is re-releasing the film in a new Ultimate Collector’s Edition. Ben Affleck follows his acclaimed Gone Baby Gone directorial debut by directing, co-writing and starring in a taut thriller about robbers and cops, friendship and betrayal, »

Paint 'The Town' Red With Our Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray Giveaway
1 March 2012 1:00 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Hard to believe, but it wasn't all that long ago that Ben Affleck was considered to be, well, kind of a punchline. After that whole "Gigli"/Bennifer fiasco, many wrote him off as another Hollywood thirtysomething washup. Looks good, but can't deliver. Who's next?
Well, Affleck is getting the last laugh now thanks to his bold re-invention as a top notch writer/director — and we want you to laugh right along with him, which is why we're giving two lucky fans free copies of his brand new Ultimate Collector's Edition of "The Town" on Blu-ray.
Never count a Boston boy out.
Technically, of course, "The Town" in question isn't Beantown itself but rather the suburb of Charlestown, whose infamous "code of silence" makes it the perfect setting for Affleck's gritty heist flick. He plays a guy trying to get out and make good, only to be dragged down by »

American Idol Recap: Meet the Top 24! (Or, Um, at Least 14 of Them!)
23 February 2012 8:58 AM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Jennifer Lopez showed her true colors on Wednesday’s “final judgment” episode of American Idol – a shimmeringly hypnotic hue of emerald green, to be exact.
Indeed, the Gigli star’s sequined dress was so shiny, it actually managed to reflect the image of her “deeply concerned” face and cast lustrous jade pools back onto her throat. It also sent me into a daydream that she was some kind of glamorous alien, just moments away from peeling back the rest of her human skin, revealing a V-like visage, and devouring whole the American Idol contestants who failed to crack the Season 11 Top 24. “I’m sorry baby, »
