Lindsay Lohan Inferno Posters

UPDATE: It's being reported that Malin Ackerman (Watchmen) has been given the role.

Despite claims that they would wait for their lead actress, the creators behind Inferno will now be recasting their film.

The biopic about adult film star Linda Lovelace was to have starred Lindsay Lohan. The producers felt so strongly about their casting choice, they even delayed production to accommodate her jail/rehab stints. Now, they’ve decided to move on altogether.

"We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan," director Matthew Wilder said. "We are currently in negotiations [with another actress] and working out the legalities of bringing her onboard."

“Anne and I had already had sex on film. There’s something about the way Annie and I both work which is inherently very musical. It’s all about rhythm. There’s a rhythm to writing, there’s a rhythm to sports, there’s a rhythm to sex.”

-Jake Gyllenhaal on performing sex scenes with Anne Hathaway, his Love & Other Drugs and Brokeback Mountain costar.

Joaquin Phoenix’s I’m Still Here is still making waves, and most movie reviewers are still scratching their heads. Phoenix scored plenty of huge headlines when he purportedly walked away from his acting career to pursue rap, but it was his David Letterman appearance that really got people talking.

Ben Stiller famously impersonated Phoenix at the Oscars, appearing on stage in a full beard to poke fun at Joaquin’s rugged look. But Phoenix says that Stiller, along with several others who appeared in the pseudo-documentary, was in on the joke.

We have no idea who the bad guy is, which city was used for the setting or who the hell else is in the cast -- but we do know this: Ryan Reynolds is the central theme of this Green Lantern trailer.

Actually, scratch the third part. We also know that Blake Lively is in the flick. Her face is seen for a brief moment (don’t blink) somewhere in the middle of this Reynolds showcase. We’re hearing that Lively plays the love interest to Reynold’s non-superhero persona.

Unstoppable

Denzel Washington and Chris Pine could do nothing but watch Megamind speed past them at the box office.

Despite an early lead for the action film, Unstoppable lost a bit of steam. The movie, which opened to $8.1 million on Friday, slowed to a $22.7 million take and second place-finish by Monday. Of the five films Tony Scott has directed Washington in, this movie – also starring Chris Pine – debuted in the middle of the pack.

Meanwhile, Morning Glory, starring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton, produced $9.2 million ($11.8 million since Wednesday) – enough for fifth place.

Amanda Seyfried’s bringing sexy back … to a classic children’s tale.

Don’t let that innocent face fool you -- in the upcoming Red Riding Hood revamp, Seyfried plays a girl “torn between two loves.” The quote comes from Seyfried’s director Catherine Hardwicke, who also directed Twilight.

Red Riding Hood is a sexified horror remake of the children’s classic. Seyfried plays Valerie, who enlists the aid of a hunter to help defeat a werewolf who is terrorizing her village.

The film opens March 11, 2011.

Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman did not, despite the rumors, drink tequila to loosen up for their sex scene in Black Swan. Kunis says the rumor is “false.”

“There was no tequila!” She exclaimed when People caught up to her during an event held last week. “I don’t think we could have done that scene if we were intoxicated.”

Doing the scene was difficult for the actresses, who are friends off-camera. Mila Kunis says that sex scenes are “never comfortable, same sex, opposite sex, it’s never comfortable.”

Kunis began preparing for her role in Black Swan a year ahead of time, undergoing rigorous ballet training. She lost twenty pounds, which made her look “like Gollum from Lord of the Rings!” But it’s unlikely the male viewers who see her in the film will find cause for complaint.
