Here's a Picture of Hugh Jackman. Guess What's Inside (Hint: Not More Pictures of Hugh Jackman)

  • Peyton Reed, who hasn’t directed a feature since 2008’s hopelessly lame Yes, Man is being penciled in as director of Ricky Stanicky, so says the Hollywood Cog. The movie is about three teens who pull a prank and burn down a house in their neighborhood and then create a fake person to take the blame — Ricky Stanicky! Twenty years later, they have been using the same alibi to get out of every uncomfortable situation in life. When their wives force them to set up a meeting with Stanicky, they hire an actor. Sounds about Peyton Reed’s speed. James Franco is attached to play Stanicky.

  • Will Ferrell’s writing/producing partner, Adam McKay, is working with Jesse Armstrong (writer of In the Loop) to make a movie about Republican strategist/ball-slime, Lee Atwater, (AICN)

  • Tom Cruise will be paid scale for his work on Mission Impossible 4, although he’s also sure to receive a large back-end payment. But, if MI:4 bombs, then Tom Cruise may have to resort to panhandling. Don’t count on it, though. Brad Bird is directing. He directed Iron Giant and The Incredibles. He can probably just Pixar out Tom Cruise’s face and replace it with Will Smith’s face). (Vulture)

  • Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Shot Don Quixote has run into more financial problems. Really? No shit. A movie that’s been in the works since the Clinton administration is being delayed again? Maybe Mr. Gilliam (God love him), should go make a different movie and use that money to finance this one. You know, before he keels over. (MTV)

  • Tyler Perry is preparing to shit out another one of his movies, this one called Madea’s Big Happy Family. I only note that because the Old Spice dude, Isaiah Mustafa, has been cast. He’ll be starring along with Bow Wow. Smells like Oscar. (Black Voices)

  • Finally, here is your first look at Butter, a political satire starring Jennifer Garner and Hugh “Boy Howdy” Jackman. It’s a five-minute behind-the-scenes clip from Entertainment Tonight (where I understand Mary Hart has just retired, even though she looks remarkably similar today than when she started, back in 1910.

    Here’s that clip:

    " Ricky Stanicky"


    Do I even NEED to say anything.

    • Ricky Stanicky? Right, because basic police work was not yet invented twenty years ago, and besides, those guys don't take arson very seriously. Certainly, as Ricky established himself as a petty criminal over the years, they would do nothing to attempt to locate him. Meanwhile, the nagging wives who feel bad for poor Ricky don't stop to think that in all their time being married, they have never set eyes on him or seen a picture of him, etc., (because women are incurious and/or stupid).

    And yet, people will pay money to see this logic fail.

    this one called Madea’s Big Happy Family

    No it's not, you know it's not.

    I don't understand the hatred on this site for Yes Man. It wasn't the greatest movie ever, but it made me laugh, and I don't require anything else from a comedy.

    Yeah, because the first thing I need from a movie called "Ricky Stanicky" is a solid foundation of realism and common sense.

    "He can probably just Pixar out Tom Cruise’s face and replace it with Will Smith’s face."

    ...and the film will become 80% more smarmy.

    I remember when ET first started. I saw in TV Guide that ET was going to be on that night, and I got totally geeked out- it wasn't on VHS even! Imagine my utter disappointment when I saw what it really was.

    **TV Guide side note** I drew boobies on the cover of the TV Guide (on Loretta "Hot Lips" Switt)one evening. My father picked it up, looked at what I had done, smiled, and asked me what those were. It remains one of the more embarrassing moments in my childhood. Looking back, I get the sense that either he was proud of my artwork, or happy that I wasn't gay. Probably the latter. I know if I caught my son drawing a penis on Loretta Switt, I wouldn't be too happy. Not because I thought he was gay, mind you. I would just be angry that he got into my M.A.S.H. porn.

    I may have had too much caffeine this morning.

    KBalls, this is the funniest thing I've read in a month and I'm going to steal it from you.

    Yeah he will!

    Ahem...Sorry just finished reading the Yogi Bear poster thread.

    I, for one, am very interested in seeing "Ricky Stanicky." The story sounds very familiar to me.

    Yay for Ty Burrell! Butter looks promising.

    Peyton Reed's speed? This is what happens when some bloggers are illiterate to what Hollywood movies are. He mentions in one line at the end - ' James Franco is attached to play Stanicky'. Peyton Reed's casting choice alone - makes this film something to look for. Franco's great AND so is Reed. Be great if somebody would review Dustin Rowle's work, as most anyone can type out a review- but very few can survive in the film world and actually direct a picture that makes money and at least some people enjoy. I'm heading back to niki.
