The big-screen adaptation of Preacher, which once had Sam Mendes attached, now has Darren Aronovsky as a potential director.
This makes so much sense it pretty much has to be a lie.

A Whit Stillman movie? Has anyone told Boozehound?
Also, I have seen "August, Osage County" twice and I assure you there is no role in that play/film that Julia Roberts is capable of playing.

Ugh! A third Men In Black and yet STILL no sequel for Reservoir Dogs?
Posted by: EJ at October 1, 2010 2:25 PM
Wait, there wasn't already a Men in Black III?

Emma Thompson has joined the cast of Men in Black 3. No word on what her role will be.
Stuffy British alien. In black.

Paddydog - agreed. The play is fucking brilliant. I think she'll think she can get through by wearing a messy ponytail or something.

@Superasente: She's not that stuffy. at least not in any of the stuff I've seen her in.

Look at that. I'm actually excited for an episode of SNL.
The big-screen adaptation of Preacher, which once had Sam Mendes attached, now has Darren Aronovsky as a potential director.
So... we're allowed to have nice things again? Or is this a trick, and tomorrow we'll find out that really McG is a lock to direct and it's going to star Ashton Kutcher?

I'm not even sure that Streep is right for the role of the mother (which I assume is what she will play). I'd love to see Shirley McClaine do it: she does bitter well, but she's probably too old.

The Jack Black thing is based on a true story, someone named Bernie actually did kill off a wealthy widow and pretend she was alive. She was in his freezer. Oops, spoiler.

Gosling would joing Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, and possibly Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei
Holy crap, that's a cast.

Paddydog: Hell to the yes on Maclaine. Streep looks like she's had it too good to play that role.

Good News! No One's Remaking Weekend at Bernie's. Yet.
Pity, I heard Tony Curtis was due for a comeback.
...
...Too soon?

Wait, is PREACHER the Garth Ennis comic book series? Wow, I wouldn't have thought someone would try to make a film from that.

It's probably not exactly trade news, but I see that CNN fired (p)Rick Sanchez for opening up his gaping piehole and screeching on his radio show that all the media (including his employer, CNN) is run by the Jews.
I predict a wealthy future for Sanchez as a "guest analyst" on Fox, as well as a lucrative political candidacy with the Tea Party.
Holy Protocols of Zion, Batmensch!

Not really a spoiler to anyone who watches those "true crime" things on TV. This story has been on at least two different shows. Don't know what kind of movie it will become but I hope it's not a comedy, black or otherwise, because it was really tragic; a lonely, gay man and a lonely old lady meet and tragedy ensues. Not funny at all but I guess the powers in H'wood will make it hilarious!!

Jeez, jM... did a panda out-run you, or something?

Seriously? You're doubting the acting abilities of Meryl Fucking Streep?!?! What does it take to impress you people?!?!
Posted by: Edith at October 2, 2010 11:59 AM
Meryl Fucking Streep? Was Fucking her maiden name? Did you find that on Wiki?

Unofficially, since i'm nowhere near the hollywood cog, i read that Emma Thompson will play the head of the Men In Black. i'm hoping this means she's the big bad, though in my mind she'd win at the end by stabbing will smith in the head with a fork so we never have to sit through one of these retarded movies again. just sayin...
