Basic Instict 2 French Poster
The French poster for Basic Instinct 2 has been released and it features Sharon Stone about to give oral sex to a sharpened penis. Sure, it might just be an ice pick, but according to the leaked promo reel that wouldn't be nearly sexy or dangerous enough to be in the movie.

Carmen Electra and Victoria Silvstedt kiss on La Methode Cauet
I don't normally watch French television, but if it features Carmen Electra and Victoria Silvstedt kissnig each other all the time then I might have to change that. I'm not entirely sure where these are from, but it looks like an appearance on La Methode Cauet which, by the looks of it, might very well be the best television show on Earth.

Spike Lee Making Louis Bio
Speaking at a university this past Martin Luther King Jr. Day, director Spike Lee revealed his next project. Following the Hurricane Katrina documentary he is currently working on, he hopes to begin a biopic on boxer Joe Louis starring Oscar nominee Terrence Howard.
Spike Lee has been kind of hit-and-miss for me, but I'm really hoping he nails this one, because it could be something great. A success could mean such choice quotes as, "Howard delivers a knock-out performance," "Lee keeps viewers on the ropes," and People Magazine's recommendation, "You'll 'Louis' yourself in this riveting drama!"
Morris Making Nub City
Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris's next project will be based on a true story he's had on his mind for close to thirty years. The director, whose Fog of War won an Academy Award for best documentary feature last year, will be shooting a horror film based on a Florida city where several residents began losing limbs after taking out insurance policies on themselves, earning it the nickname "Nub City." He had originally hoped to make a documentary on the city, but found no cooperation in the residents.
An Errol Morris horror movie should be a pretty fantastic creation, particularly with a subject matter as strange as this. I'd rather see the documentary, honestly, but I can't really blame the residents for not wanting to be documented on film. Once you start getting billed as "Nub City," you've got a lot to live up to. There will be a lot of tourists asking to see your nubs. If rival cities that have a lot of nubs see the film, they might start increasing their nubs to compete for the "Nub City" title, creating a "nub war." Then you're left with two cities full of gross, nubby people, and nobody wants that. Except nub fetishists.
I'm sorry if nub isn't the politically correct term, but I'm not the one who invented the name "Nub City." I've always said, "Gross Little Stumpy Freak City."
Green is the New Bond GIrl
It's official: Eva Green is the new Bond girl. The actress will play Vesper Lynd, co-starring with Daniel Craig and Mads Mikkelsen in the upcoming Casino Royale. Green, who had parts in The Dreamers and Kingdom of Heaven, beat out several other actresses for the role, none worth mentioning.
Maybe now Steve will stop saying my mom is the new Bond girl. Shutup, Steve. Your mom is the new Bond girl.
Captain America Writer Revealed
Earlier in the week, Avi Arad mentioned that a Captain America script was in production, but failed to say who the writer was. Now, a reliable informant has told IGN FilmForce who the screenwriter is: David Self.
Self has worked on two other Marvel projects, The Sub-Mariner (a script that Arad has long raved about) and Deathlok. He also adapted the graphic novel Road to Perdition for the big screen, and wrote the Cuban Missile Crisis drama Thirteen Days.
I'm glad they're getting moving on this so that we can finally get a decent Captain America into theaters. Because the faster we do that, the faster other countries can begin attacking us for our national arrogance.
