We LOVED “Get Smart,” and Steve Carell was perfect for the role. In fact, we saw it twice! So I’m happy to hear he’s on board for a sequel. The movie was such a big success that Carell landed a multi-million dollar three-movie deal with studio Warner Bros. last month.
If I understand the WENN […]

A Florida-based production company is suing Tim Allen over his 2007 movie, “Wild Hogs.” They claim he stole the idea from them.
The legal documents accuse Allen (under his real name, Timothy Allen Dick - yes, that’s his real name) and his Boxing Cat production company of basing the motorcycle gang movie on […]

“The Three Stooges” might be coming to movie screens soon. Yep, new Stooges, based on the old ones.
MGM, which showcased the funny guys dating back to the 1930s, is in the process of acquiring the film rights to the Stooges from Warner Bros., which has been developing a feature project for years.
And the […]

MSNBC Films, a feature banner of the cable network, is deciding what to do with its documentary, “Witch Hunt.”
It seems like there’s a lot of crossover among cable/DVD/theatrical releases these days. Films that could easily be theatrical releases, such as HBO’s “John Adams,” are playing on TV. And some films are released simultaneously […]

Yah! One of my favorite actresses, Mary-Louise Parker, has signed on for “Solitary,” a movie about an ex-auto dealership owner (Michael Douglas) whose career and marriage have collapsed because of his less-than-ethical behavior.
Parker will play Jordan, the high-powered society beau of Douglas’ character. And what a cast! It also includes Susan Sarandon, Danny […]

The film was originally scheduled for a Dec. […]

Variety is reporting that Kim Cattrall is set to star in in Keith Bearden’s feature debut “Miss January.”
It’s great seeing her move beyond her role as Samantha Jones in “Sex and the City.” It seems like after the TV series ended, she kind of disappeared a bit, popping up in small films like Walt […]

Looks like Steve Carell might have another clueless-man role on his hands. The funny guy’s attached to “Brigadier Gerard,” Media Rights Capital’s period comedy about a French soldier during the Napoleonic wars who’s deluded about his level of bravery.
Yep, that sounds like classic Carell material. I hope he doesn’t get caught up […]

“Sleeper” has landed a new writer, Brad Inglesby. The DC Comics/Wildstorm graphic novel was picked up for adaptation by Warner Bros. in August. It’s scheduled for a 2011 release.
The Hollywood Reporter describes it as a “high-tech noir series published from 2003-05 that puts superheroes in a stylish, hard-boiled crime saga not unlike […]

I kind of hope Amy Adams doesn’t venture into those dark, dramatic roles any time soon. You know the ones I mean — that actors do in order to be taken “seriously.” She’s so fabulous in lighthearted romantic comedies like “Enchanted,” it would be a shame for her to “go dark.”
Now she’s […]
