Oct 23 2007 Some Other Crap That Happened...
- Data and Chunk have confirmed what Mikey and Mouth already told us: that they've been contacted to do voices for an animated Goonies movie, also confirming--what was once thought a rumor--that Chunk ate his weight in Godfather's pizza. [Empire]
- Diablo Cody seems to be the new 'it' screenwriter, with the Juno penner working on a burlesque musical, a Steven Spielberg television series (United States of Tara), and now a comedic supernatural thriller titled Jennifer's Body. I find myself somewhat embittered that someone named Diablo Cody is having so much more success than me. [/Film]
- Zooey Deschanel has joined Jim Carrey in Yes Man, about a man who decides to change his life by saying yes to everything. Hey, that sounds like what Owen Wilson says to do in The Darjeeling Limited, except much stupider. [Hollywood Reporter]
- Producer Brian Glazer and director Ridley Scott talked to MTV about their Russell Crowe-starrer, Nottingham, calling it, "the Gladiator version of Robin Hood." I guess that makes Kevin Costner's Prince of Thieves the "Field of Dreams version of Robin Hood." [MTV]
Oct 16 2007 Some Other Crap That Happened...
- Seven minutes of The Dark Knight will be shown prior to IMAX screenings of I Am Legend. This is the closest many nerds will ever come to "seven minutes of heaven." [Collider]
- Steve Antin is set to direct Burlesque, a contemporary musical set in a neo-burlesque club in Los Angeles, but he'll be telling his wife he's "watching the game with some friends." [Variety]
- Orson Welles' sole Oscar for Citizen Kane will be auctioned at Sotheby's, and is expected to fetch around a million dollars. If you win, remember to leave positive feedback (A++++++++++++++++ C@@L DEALER!!!) [Reuters]
- Director Joe Carnahan has confirmed the earlier rumor that Chris Pine will play young James T. Kirk in the upcoming Star Trek prequel. Pine will spend the next six months training in the art of double-karate-chopping the shoulders, then rolling out of the way. [Smokin' Joe Carnahan]
