Do It For Charlie Day

  • Matthew McConaughey, of all people, is actually considering an indie project, one that might test his lack of acting skills. He’s circling The Headhunter’s Calling, based on a script written by Bill Dubuque who, best I can tell, is a first-time screenwriter. The script is about a workaholic corporate headhunter who has been alienating his family for years and letting his cutthroat business compromise his ethics in pursuit of financial gain until he finds out his oldest has Leukemia and decides that family is more valuable than anything else. Puke-y logline, but we’ll see. (The Hollywood Cog)

  • Batman Begins screenwriter, David Goyer, has a trilogy of novels in the works, starting with Heaven’s Shadow, which “begins when an object is discovered heading for earth. Initial panic gives way to a competition between governments to be first to intercept what they believe is a breakaway meteor. What the astronauts discover leads to an encounter with alien forces that are a threat to humanity.” Warner Brothers has preemptively picked up the screen rights to the trilogy; Goyer will adapt the first novel for the screen himself. (Deadline)

  • If there’s one thing that can save Betty White from the backlash fatigue, it’s NBC’s “Community.” She’ll be appearing on the season debut, and you can check out this amusing little promo over at (EW).

  • Frank Miller (The Spirit) is something of a one-note hack director, but that one note works perfectly fine in a new Gucci ad starring Evan Rachel Wood and your Captain America, Chris Evans.

  • Ahmet Zappa (offspring of Dweezil) and Michael Wilson sold their spec script, Monster Witness Relocation Program to Disney as a potential starring vehicle for Will Smith’s seedling, Jaden. (Deadline)

  • Here’s the first image from Miley Cyrus’ film, LOL, co-starring Demi Moore. I’m begging you not to let the insults get gratuitously out of hand. (FilmDrunk)

  • Jessica Alba is set to take the lead in Robert Rodriguez’s next waste of talent, Spy Kids 4. She’ll play a retired spy and mother of two. (THR)

  • Doug Liman has officially passed on his Three Musketeers movie and moved on to All You Need Is Kill, about a solider caught in a Groundhog Day-type time loop. (Variety and Slashfilm)

  • Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are developing a television series around Joe Hill’s graphic novel, Locke & Key. Steven Spielberg is involved somehow. (Vulture)

  • Finally, I leave you with the last trailer for Going the Distance, the romantic comedy starring Justin Long and Drew Barrymore. I know you’re not going to believe me, but I’ve heard decent things about it. And it looks kind of endearing. (I’m sorry). I mean, come on: Charlie Day, people! Charlie fucking Day!

    LOL GTFO Miley Cyrus

  • I thought Ahmet was brother of (not offspring of) Dweezil?

    The Miley picture makes me want to shoot myself but I don't think the bullet would be fast enough to stop my brain before my eyes rip themselves from my head.

    Miley is trying really hard to move away from her 'tween image. I think she is going too far and doing it too quickly but then, I'm not her Mama/manager.

    Posted by: mslewis at August 24, 2010 6:16 PM

    Skipping over Ms. Cyrus' outfit and wondering why that fluffy dog has Pringle duck mouth...

    Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at August 24, 2010 6:16 PM

    Yep, Ahmet and Dweezil are brothers, offspring of Frank.

    Posted by: laura at August 24, 2010 6:18 PM

    Can't believe I'm going to say this, but I really liked Going the Distance.

    Posted by: general rhubarb at August 24, 2010 6:28 PM

    I won't do it. Not even for Charlie. Unless the Green Man makes an appearance, then I may consider it. I'm lying.

    IS THAT CARLTON BANKS NEXT TO MILEY?

    Posted by: SAD ROCKSTAR at August 24, 2010 6:39 PM

    Why is the fourth "Spy Kids" sequel getting trade headlines as if it's the next fucking "Godfather"? Rodriguez is a one note hack whose films look like they were shot and edited in his garage.

    Posted by: Neo at August 24, 2010 6:42 PM

    that pic of the stupid spoiled disney whore looks photoshopped... I'm pretty sure I have the SAME EXACT PICTURE of the dog with the duck pringle mouth here somewhere.

    Posted by: SaucyWench at August 24, 2010 6:48 PM

    No. And all because of Charlie Day.

    Posted by: Jim Doggie at August 24, 2010 6:50 PM

    I admit that if anyone can make a romantic comedy these days, it's Drew Barrymore. She's so damn likable. I just wish I didn't want to smack Justin Long. No reason for that, really, he just bugs me. And I find it hard to believe that anyone would be physically attracted to him.

    Posted by: figgy at August 24, 2010 7:07 PM

    IS THAT CARLTON BANKS NEXT TO MILEY?

    Nay. Alas, Carlton wouldn't fit in that frame these days. He picked up all the weight James Avery dropped.

    And that dog is making "Duck Theason! Wabbit Season!" run through my head, for some reason.

    if charlie goes america on everybody's asses, then maybe.

    Posted by: stopthemadness aka Angry Black Lady at August 24, 2010 7:12 PM

    Offspring of Frank! FRANK! THIS IS ONLY THE MOST IMPORTANT FAMILY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PEOPLE.

    Posted by: nigeltde at August 24, 2010 7:24 PM

    @SAD ROCKSTAR

    No, that's just some other black dude with a mustache, not Carlton Banks. It's not Chris Rock or Chris Tucker, either. Or Terry Crews.

    Posted by: jzhz at August 24, 2010 8:29 PM

    yeah... that Miley Cyrus photo was originally from her MuchMusic Video awards performance, which happened months ago.

    Posted by: kilmo at August 24, 2010 10:33 PM

    Going the Distance was pretty cute. Some scenes were a little meh, but overall it was enjoyable.

    Posted by: nosio at August 25, 2010 12:25 AM

    I have an irrational soft spot for Drew Barrymore. (I still won't see this movie.)

    Posted by: MM at August 25, 2010 12:26 AM

    Idk if some serious "charlie work" can fix this movie up

    Posted by: chris at August 25, 2010 1:59 AM

    The Miley Cyrus image is photoshopped by the gentleman behind FilmDrunk,Vince Mancini.

    Posted by: NJ at August 25, 2010 2:07 AM

    charlie day has the most distinct voice ever.

    Posted by: sailboat at August 25, 2010 2:34 AM

    Don't bother with the Berrymore flick- they won't let Charlie Day be all Charlie Day in it, so his character will be watered-down swill (think how Tarantino compares other champagnes to fucking Crystal!). Plus Berrymore has that weird, side talking stroke thing that only Jimmy Fallon has ever had the balls to bring up. And I think we've already seen spray tanning massacred by one Ross Gellar- Justin Long can't hold a candle to David Schwimmer. Lame.

    A few thoughts:

    Evan Rachel Wood is so very, very hot. But then she acts and/or speaks and my aggravation devours my libido.

    Matthew McConaughey is a nasty, creepy dude. Has any actor ever completely morphed into one of his early characters like MM has with Wooderson? It's uncanny.

    I say we do a Pajiba Pool for the date that Miley Cyrus gets a boob job. We can do weeks or months (days are too specific and hard to confirm). I'll take April 2011. You know, just in time for beach season.

    I was secretly hoping that Dweezil would name his kids Bob and Fred and Sue and Mary, as a backlash to being named Dweezil. But noooooooooo, he had to go and name his daughters Zola Frank and Ceylon Indira. FRANK? He named his daughter FRANK?

    I have to give props to Jessica Alba for taking a "mom" role at her relatively young age. Not enough to see the movie, of course, but still.

    Posted by: Todd at August 25, 2010 10:44 AM

    This one time, I went to the city (that's what we in NJ call NYC) with some awesome PajiChicks, and we saw Jessica Alba walking down the street. True Story! (I missed her the first time because I was looking at her outfit because I thought Sofia mouthed "tramp" to me, and I was all, "She isn't trampy! That skirt is practically below her knees. Ooh, cute shoes!" and didn't actually see her face at all. But then she walked back the other way while we were still brunching and sure enough, it was her! She has pretty hair.

    Also, me and jM saw Adam Busch and I almost had a total fangirl freakout.

    Posted by: Anna von Beav at August 25, 2010 11:25 AM

    Charlie Day, Jason Sudekis, and Jim Gaffigan are the only decent things about that entire trailer.

    They're not the main characters.

    One of the main characters is Drew Barrymore.

    I'm out.

    Posted by: ChristianH at August 25, 2010 12:10 PM

    figgy, it's OK that you don't like Justin Long. *marks one more off the competitors list, 6,599,999 to go*

    Posted by: Drake at August 25, 2010 12:27 PM

    Miley Cyrus is a bit young to look like such a trout-faced c*nt.

    Posted by: supafly at August 25, 2010 12:59 PM

    @admin It's DAYman we want to see.

    @bweaves If there's a Boy named Sue, we can have a Girl named Frank.

    Opposite Universe: A Time to Kill Matthew was the promising good actor, Sandra Bullock was terrible and Spacey tried a Southern accent. (Oh yeah, and Samuel L Jackson shouted throughout, Donald Sutherland was half asleep and Oliver Platt rocked- per usual.)

    YES THEY DESERVED TO DIE, AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!!!!!!
