The Great Gatsby … in 3D?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Period, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Technology, Upcoming Releases,
Now it’s just getting ridiculous.
The oft-adapted F. Scott Fitzgerald book The Great Gatsby is coming back to the big screen . . . and Leonardo DiCaprio is going to be in 3D.
The new film, which co-stars Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan (she reportedly beat out Blake Lively, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley for the role of Daisy Buchanan), is one of many in a long line of adaptations.
The Great Gatsby was formerly a movie in 1926, 1949, 1974, 2000 and 2002 (if you want to count the loosely-adapted G). Set in the early 1920s, the story revolves around recent Yale graduate Nick Carraway (Maguire), who becomes the next-door-neighbor to the very wealthy Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio).
And, it’s going to be in 3D. The 3D treatment is fine for your effects-driven action films and kid-friendly comedies, but a dramatic period piece based on famous literature? We’re trying hard to reserve judgment -- after all, Leo DiCaprio is in the lead.

Kevin Costner Signing on to Superman Cast?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Casting, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Kevin Costner is talking with producers about taking on a “key role” in the upcoming Superman movie. Henry Cavill (The Tudors) has already been cast as the main man in blue and red, and now he’ll need a supporting cast.
But, which role will Kevin Costner play? Will the new reboot feature a considerably older Lex Luthor character, as did the last reboot? Or will Costner play a good guy, maybe Daily Planet editor Perry White or Clark Kent’s dad Jonathon Kent? Perhaps this reboot features newer Superman characters, like police commissioner Henderson maybe?

Lindsay Lohan Eyeing Comback Movie Role
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Lindsay Lohan is currently in-between gigs now that she’s out of rehab, as she may not be going to jail until the end of the month. So maybe she can squeeze a movie in there somewhere?
Producer Nathan Folks is willing to consider it. He says Linds is a friend, and he’d like to have her star in Escaping the Game. The film is about celebrities who have relocated to a remote island in hopes of escape the paparazzi -- a theme Lindsay Lohan can probably identify with.
Folks says the troubled star has agreed to be monitored at all times for the film’s insurance purposes. Lindsay is also rumored to be starring in One Night With You, though rumor further says she might get cut in light of her current legal problems. Lohan has already been cut from the Linda Lovelace biopic Inferno.

Johnny Knoxville, Andy Samberg: New Stooges?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Remakes, Comedy, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
The Farrelly Brothers (There’s Something About Mary, Shallow Hal) are still searching for the perfect Stooges. The comedic filmmakers plan to bring a big-screen version of the slapstick trio to fans ... and, they’ve been planning for a while.
The Three Stooges was originally cast with Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and Jim Carrey (Larry, Moe and Curly respectively), but Penn and Carrey both bowed out.
Now, the Brothers are looking toward a Jackass and an SNL vet to help round out the cast. The LA Times reports that Johnny Knoxville may come on board as Moe, while Andy Samberg will take on the role of Larry. “We like both of those guys,” Bobby Farrelly said. “And Knoxville is a real-life stooge.”
Cher will also star in the flick as the leading lady, playing Mother Superior of an orphanage where the stooges create chaos. “Cher is the coolest chick ever,” Peter Farrelly said of the casting choice.
The Three Stooges will be presented as a reboot film with three 27-minute shorts -- if production ever begins.

Neve Campbell, Wes Craven Talk Scream 4
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Horror, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Scream 4, according to actress Neve Campbell, will be both “very scary” and “very funny.” Campbell went to to say that writer/director "Wes Craven is brilliant."
Craven himself is expressing excitement about the flick as we draw closer to its April 15 release date. It seems even the day is meant to poke a little scary fun at audiences -- because what’s more terrifying than the day everyone’s income tax returns are due? “The young cast brings a whole different world to [the Scream franchise] and a whole different take on horror,” Craven said.
“It’s a lot about looking back on the last ten years of horror and comparing it and contrasting it and having fun with it,” he said. And nobody has as much fun with horror as Wes Craven.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Back in the Movie Game
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
Arnold Schwarzenegger is no longer the Governor of California, and he’s actively looking for work. In a tweet sent to his fans this week, the former Governor revealed that he told his talent agency to start offering him scripts again.
But the Governator hasn’t been totally out of the business the last 7 years; he appeared briefly in The Expendables and Around the World in 80 Days, among other films.
And if he does start taking on bigger roles, don’t expect any Terminator-like action flicks. “I have to adapt my roles to my age,” he explained in a newspaper interview. “Extreme fighting or shooting is not possible anymore.”

Julia Roberts Will Play Snow White’s Evil Queen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
We’ve never really seen her be a villain . . . but, we’re pretty sure she’ll nail it. Hollywood A-lister Julia Roberts has just signed up to play the evil Queen in the new film adaptation of Snow White -- and no, this isn’t voice-over work.
Relativity Media isn’t making this one for young kids and family audiences. Their version of the well-known fairy tale will "will eschew the traditional story in favor of a more modern tale full of comedy and adventure." And while that sounds pretty dismal to us, we’re willing to hold off on judgment and hold out hope. After all, Julia Roberts is involved.
Snow White is about to get a huge boost in popular culture, which may be good news for those who are tired of Disney’s animated 1937 joint. Charlize Theron will play the Queen in Universal's Snow White and The Huntsman, and Disney is also planning a new adaptation of the original German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
Roberts will go to work on the film sometime in April, and it’s scheduled for release in June 2012.
