- The BBC has confirmed that gross fan fiction will be made real when David Tennant and Billie Piper join newer Doctor and companion Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman in this November's Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. John Hurt will also appear to be like, "Wouldn't I have been a pretty good Doctor?" We will agree.
- While Stephen Soderbergh has retired from feature films, he's not quite ready to finally bite into that new Bioshock quite yet. In addition to stage versions of Magic Mike and Cleopatra, he tells EW he's also working to adapt John Barth's 1960 novel The Sot-Weed Factor into a 12-hour miniseries. The one-hour episodes will look at the colonization of Maryland in the 1600s from a satirical angle. Truly nothing is sacred.
- Billy Crudup, Anton Yelchin, Selena Gomez, and Laurence Fishburne have signed on to star alongside Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy in Macy's directorial debut, Rudderless. The film focuses on a father who, after the loss of his son, discovers the deceased kid's written music and forms a band in the hopes of finding himself closure. Instead, he finds himself in the behind-the-warnings stock footage of an erectile dysfunction drug commercial.
Should we be providing firearms to our nation's troubled sexy bikini babes? Harmony Korine reopens this important dialogue, offering a persuasive counterargument to Big Buck Hunter's cut-scenes, with yet another wild trailer for Spring Breakers:

The first couple Spring Breakers trailers, like so many an actual disappointing spring break, ended up delivering more mentions of video games than topless girls, quickly depressing everyone hoping the film would just be a Girls Gone Wild tape wrapped around a loose robbery narrative. So before you get your expectations built up too high for this UNCENSORED trailer, let me tell you right now, it still contains only the briefest of nudity. (And that nudity still isn't anyone from your 2008 Stars of Disney Channel wall calendar. Sorry.) But it does have a lot more F-bombs, and a more intense look at the fellating of a dick drawing, so NSFW protocol applies.
Anyway, here you go: a new, international, uncensored look at James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine in Harmony Korine's Sucker Punch 2: Beach Vacation.

Here's the trailer for Spring Breakers, the film in which cult director Harmony Korine shifts somewhat toward the mainstream with the always-popular inclusions of James Franco and hot, sexy coeds wearing nothing but bikinis.
A Disney Channel-experienced group of Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine star as (best?) friends stuck alone in their deserted college, unable to afford the sunny locales where the rest of their class is getting drunk and date raped over the spring break holiday. So, they decide to rob a convenience store--"pretend it's a video game," one of them says, confirming our moms' fears--thus funding the kind of wild vacation they'd dreamed of since the first time they heard the desperate screaming of an MTV Spring Break special.
Unfortunately, then they end up in jail and seemingly bailed out by "Alien," Franco's Svengali with grillz, whose serpent-like braids seduce the girls into following him into even more dangerous criminal acts, and what looks like a small-scale gang war with Gucci Mane. I hope everyone makes it back for their public relations and hotel management classes!

That's My Boy failed to capture the public's interest in Adam Sandler doing a funny voice, so this fall, Sandler will once again attempt some kind of parental redemption story (now as Dracula, in case the problem was that Adam Sandler wasn't Dracula). As before, Andy Samberg is along for the ride, but this time Sandler's aloof offspring is a vampiric little girl--or a "little GHOUL," as Sandler Dracula punnily remarks. And that's exactly where this trailer lost me forever.

Universal Pictures and Strike Entertainment have purchased the film rights to the young-adult novel Thirteen Reasons Why, and plan to develop it as a starring vehicle for Selena Gomez. And then probably get sued when some depressed kid copies this film/novel's insane, beyond-the-grave guilt-tripping premise:
Clay Jensen, somewhat shy, California high school student, returns home from school one day to find a box sitting on his doorstep. Upon opening it, he discovers that it is a shoebox containing seven cassette tapes recorded by the late Hannah Baker, his classmate and emotional crush who recently committed suicide. The tapes were initially mailed to one classmate with instructions to pass them from one student to another, in the style of a chain letter. On the tapes, Hannah explains to thirteen people how they played a role in her death, by giving thirteen reasons to explain why she took her life.
Well, now that we know Gomez will be portraying Hannah Baker, I guess we know what at least one or two of the reasons will be...

The Waitresses can expect their royalty checks soon. New Line has announced plans to make a What Women Want-style mind-reading comedy wherein "women" is replaced by "boys" and "Mel Gibson" is replaced with "some girl from the Disney Channel":
New Line's decided to find out "What Boys Want," snapping up the comedy pitch by Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer and attaching teen star Selena Gomez to topline and Kevin Misher to produce.
Story centers on a teenage girl who can hear what men are thinking.
New Line's in final negotiations with the 17-year-old Gomez, who has built a huge fanbase from her role in the Disney Channel series, "The Wizards of Waverly Place."
Sadly, as brilliant as this idea is, guys, Dave Chappelle beat you by a few years:
