Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Jack Black is teaming up again with director Richard Linklater for a new comedy.
The School of Rock duo are preparing to reunite for Bernie, a dark comedy also featuring Shirley MacLaine.
The film, set in the small town of Carthage, Texas, tells the tale of Bernie (Black) - a community leader and mortician - who befriends a wealthy but demanding widow (MacLaine).
Tragedy strikes when Bernie accidentally kills her, but laughter returns when he tries to convince everyone she’s still alive.
Shooting on Bernie, co-written by Linklater and Skip Hollandsworth, is set to begin in October.
Black can next be seen in Gulliver’s Travels, due out December 22.

Milla Jovovich loves working with her director husband.
The actress, who plays the lead role in Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil franchise, believes being on set together keeps their relationship fresh.
“Paul is so into it. He loves what he’s doing. You’ll do something and you’ll hear from the monitors, ‘Yeah!’” she said. “When we’re on the film, that’s all we talk about, how to make it better. We have a very creative relationship. It’s a lot of fun because what’s a relationship if all you’re doing is cooking and going to the movies every Friday night? We’re having something that is symbiotic - it’s like a continuous card game between us.”

First Look: Christina Aguilera and Cher in Burlesque
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sony, Drama, Music, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
If a young Christina Aguilera had chosen to work in burlesque clubs rather than the Mickey Mouse Club, the result might have looked a little something like this.
In the Showgirls-esque film Burlesque, the “Not Myself Tonight” singer brings her small-town dreams to Los Angeles. There, she lands a job as a cocktail waitress, a mentor named Tess (Cher) and a jealous rival named Nikki (Kristen Bell).
The Sony production - also starring Julianne Hough, Cam Gigandet and Stanley Tucci - hits the stage November 24, 2010.

Lindsay Lohan: Still Starring in Inferno
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Biopics, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Despite rumors to the contrary, Lindsay Lohan will still play the title role in the film Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story.
Producer Chris Handley re-confirmed the casting decision after Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s mom, called him personally. She was concerned about the media gossip that Linds has been replaced on the project by Sarah Scott.
Here’s the statement:
“The producers and director of Inferno, the story of Linda Lovelace, have been aware of certain media articles indicating there had been some alternative actors considered for the Lovelace role other than Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay’s mother Dina Lohan called the director yesterday concerned that there was some truth to the statements. These stories are completely unfounded and untrue: the producers have been, and continue to be committed to Lindsay in this lead role and are confident that there is no actress that can achieve the dramatic level we require of this role other than Lindsay.”
This, of course, raises an important question: who the &$%# is Linda Lovelace? Lovelace was a former pornographic film star who’s biggest claim to fame stems from her role in the porn classic Deep Throat. Later, she became a big advocate in the anti-pornography movement.

Box Office Breakdown: Dinner for Schmucks Comes Up Short
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Remakes, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Fans aren’t quite ready to wake up from the dream just yet.
Despite competition from Steve Carell, Zac Efron and cute animals, Inception managed to continue its reign over the box office. The Christopher Nolan film - which is nearing the $200 million mark - added another $27.5 million to its total and became the third entry of the year to three-peat. (Alice in Wonderland and Shrek Forever After also had three wins under their belts.)
Warner Bros.’ win meant leftovers for Dinner for Schmucks. The Paramount comedy, which cost in the neighborhood of $60 million to produce, only brought $23.5 million to the table.
Meanwhile, Charlie St. Cloud narrowly beat out Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore for fifth place. The two entries were separated by approximately $100,000.
