Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival – it takes place this year between July 18 and August 6 and has always been about more than just the films. They offer plenty of panel discussions and master classes every year, and last year’s edition introduced the Frontières International Co-Production Market, uniting North American, European, and Australasian talent and funders in an initiative focused specifically on fostering genre film productions and relationships. Noteworthy projects from the inaugural edition included new works from seasoned filmmakers such as Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) and Bruce McDonald (Pontypool), as well as up-and-coming talent like Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Resolution), Paul Campion (The Devil’s Rock), Jason Eisener (Hobo With a Shotgun), and Jorge Michel Grau (We Are What We Are). At the Fantasia Industry Rendez-Vous – a sort of three-day industry cocktail party – professional introductions were made, and many of the projects found co-producers and/or international sales agents. »

Now, here’s an interesting project that 20th Century Fox have just signed off on as they’re looking to relaunch Guys And Dolls for a modern audience. The original has been done in schools across the world, for years, and there was also that little 1955 version starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons and the legend of Frank Sinatra that sits in movie history. For their new version, they’re looking towards Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Channing Tatum to take on the lead roles and you know what, this could really work.
Obviously, this is very early days indeed but when you put your intentions out there, we’re hopeful they can pick up those two major actors. We also know that both have dancing talent, and Jgl can definitely sing and is a pretty much all-round talented bugger. The original musical was based on Damon Runyon’s short stories and focuses »

• Things have been pretty quiet for Anne Hathaway on the casting front since her Best Supporting Actress win, but we just assumed that she was waiting to line up the perfect post-Oscar project. She may have found that in Lynn Shelton’s (Your Sister’s Sister) next project Laggies — a dark comedy about a late 20-something afraid of growing up. Chloë Moretz, Sam Rockwell, and Mark Webber are also in talks to star. With a script by Like the Red Panda author Andrea Siegel, Hathaway would play Megan, the 20-something in question.

Pair follow up The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates with new film set at family resort, directed by Frank Coraci
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are to pair up for the third time on a new comedy that revolves around the fallout from a disastrous blind date, reports Variety.
Sandler and Barrymore previously co-headlined 1998's The Wedding Singer and 2004's 50 First Dates, both of which were considered box office successes. The Wedding Singer even managed to be that rare concern in Hollywood, the well-reviewed Adam Sandler movie.
The new film will centre on two people who find themselves stuck together in a family resort with their children from previous marriages after the aforementioned disastrous romantic coupling. The Wedding Singer's Frank Coraci, a regular Sandler collaborator, will direct from a screenplay by Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera.
Both Sandler and Barrymore will be returning to familiar ground in the hope »

Justin Timberlake will return this weekend to Saturday Night Live for his fifth hosting stint in under a decade, and this time he's also the musical guest! Being one half of the D*** In a Box duo, Mr. J.T. has lots to live up to this time around. In anticipation of Timberlake's return to the beloved sketch show, here are five of our favorite SNL moments, courtesy of the 32-year-old Suit and Tie singer:
1. D*** In a Box You can't start off talking about Timberlake's best SNL moments without mentioning this Digital Short, co-starring Andy Samberg, right off the bat. This bit was so good that it even earned a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.
2. Single Ladies Timberlake threw on a black leotard and pumps to reenact Beyonce's Single Ladies dance as one of her backup dancers. Needless to say, it was memorable.
3. Mother Lover Samberg and Timberlake reprised their D*** In »

The singer is the favourite to win the Academy award for best original song on Sunday night, but she faces stiff competition from Scarlett Johansson, a talking bear and more
No matter that she won the award for best British single, Adele didn't show up at the Brits at the O2 in London on Wednesday night. What could have been more important? Well, the Academy Awards, that's what.
It would be nice to have one of those on the shelf. Bob Dylan no less seemed especially pleased to have bagged the Academy award for best original song with Things Have Changed in 2001 after it featured in Curtis Hanson's Wonder Boys. "God bless you all with peace, tranquility and good will," he was even heard to quip to the academy. In her excitement, Adele tweeted when she heard she'd been nominated this year.

Last year’s Best Original Song category had a dismal two (Two!) nominations in a year that gave us such songs as the catchy “Hello Hello” from the piano man himself, Elton John (who has seen no love from the Academy since The Lion King in 1994) from Gnomeo and Juliet, a brand new (and beautifully haunting) song from The National, “Think You Can Wait,” from Win Win, and eleven new songs (any of which could have/should have been a contender) from Sigur Rós front-man Jónsi from We Bought a Zoo. Luckily this year the Academy decided on a much more respectable number of songs (five of them!) pulled from a variety of film genres including a documentary (Chasing Ice), comedy (Ted), musical (Les Misérables), action (Skyfall), and adventure (Life of Pi) performed by a range of singers, including chart topping artists and even one actress. An increased number of songs may be getting their moment in »

In a new interview with People, Drew Barrymore is revealing her favorite beauty red carpet moment of all time -- and the choice is surprising to say the least.
Drew chose her much-criticized look at the Los Angeles premiere of her HBO film Grey Gardens, where she rocked voluminous blonde locks and retro makeup.
Pics: The Top 10 Celebrity Collections
"We did this big blonde hair for the L.A. premiere of Grey Gardens. Giant big blonde hair with very '60s makeup. I had more hair in my head than I knew what to do with," she recalls.
She also lists her tanned appearance at the Music and Lyrics premiere in Los Angeles as one of her favorite looks.
"I had this black Roberto Cavalli halter dress and big gold hoop earrings. My hair was in a very tight bun and my makeup was very bronzy and natural," she explains.
