Charlie Sheen in Talks for "Anger Management" TV Series
Posted: July 6th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Comedy Central recently announced that it will air a Roast for the actor during the same day that "Two and a Half Men" will return to television with Ashton Kutcher. But Sheen is planning a bigger return to TV.
He is now in talks with Revolution Studios and Lionsgate Television on an "Anger Management" TV series, based on the popular Adam Sandler comedy. If cast, Sheen would play Jack Nicholson's character, a counselor who helps patients deal with anger management in potentially infuriating ways.
"I'm gonna be involved in every aspect of it," said Sheen. Joe Roth, who produced the "Anger Management" movie, is also involved.

Watch Taylor Lautner's Field Of Dreams Remake Trailercomments published: 2011-07-06 12:36:13 Author: Josh Tyler
Back in 1989 when Kevin Costner made Field of Dreams you could still make the case that baseball was America’s pastime. These days, it’s not even close. Football has taken over as the clear number one sport in America and, with the NFL lockout looming it seems almost appropriate that someone would remake Field of Dreams as a football movie. That someone is Taylor Lautner… sort of.
Find out what it would look like if Taylor Lautner made Field of Dreams in the modern era, by watching him in the trailer for Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout. It’s packed with cameos from real football stars, and if you hang in there till the end, you’ll even get a little Kevin Costner:

David Schwimmer Wants To Adapt Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
published: 2011-07-06 17:42:39 Author: Sean O'Connell
Though David Schwimmer will forever be known as Ross from Friends (which is what happens when you are part of one of television’s most successful sitcoms), his fledgling directorial career so far is characterized by films that couldn’t be more different in tone and subject matter. He got his feet wet with the Simon Pegg comedy Run Fatboy Run before moving on to Trust, which discusses the dangers of Internet chat rooms. And it was during a Web chat on behalf of Trust that Schwimmer revealed what his next project might be.
During a revealing conversation with Empire, where he updated fans on the status of Madagascar 3 (he has recorded his vocal parts) and confessed to his favorite sandwich (a medium-rare cheeseburger with mustard, tomato, lettuce and onion), Schwimmer said that he’s optioned the rights to an adaptation of Upton Sinclair’s epic turn-of-the-century novel The Jungle. Schwimmer says it will be a “character-driven” story about “a young immigrant from Lithuania to the meat-packing industry of Chicago in 1904, and the rise of the unions in America.” Once again, completely different from his previous efforts.
I also like that in the same interview, Schwimmer tells one chat participant that he’d love to try his hand at a good horror script. Who knew Ross was so versatile? Of course, he’ll need Trust to make a little money before a studio is willing to bankroll a sizeable production of The Jungle. But Schwimmer’s fearlessness behind the lens so far has led to some creative decisions, and it’s exciting to see just where his talents will take him next.

Seth Rogen, Jonathan Levine, Will Reiser And Evan Goldberg Reteaming For Jamaica
: 2011-07-06 17:11:09 Author: Eric Eisenberg
The two best movies that I've seen thus far this year won't be released until September. The first is Nicholas Winding Refn's Drive, which I reviewed from this year's Los Angeles Film Festival, but the second is the Johnathan Levine 50/50. A dramedy starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Anjelica Huston and Bryce Dallas Howard, I've previously remarked that the film is a perfect balance between drama and comedy featuring some of the greatest performances that you will see in 2011. Now, just as Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling did when it was revealed the two would be teaming up again for Only God Forgives, the folks behind 50/50 are sticking with the formula that works.
THR has learned that Rogen, Evan Goldberg, writer Will Reiser and Jonathan Levine are set to make their second film together. The project, titled Jamaica, once again draws from Reiser's personal experiences, as the story will be loosely based on a vacation he took with his grandmother when he was 14. Staying in the same formation established in 50/50, Reiser will write the script, Levine will direct, and both Rogen and Goldberg will produce.
You may not appreciate this news now, but come September 30 you are going to be thanking the heavens that this group is getting back together. Much of what makes 50/50 so incredible is how real everything feels, and all of that comes from Reiser's script, which is based on his fight with cancer. While I'd be satisfied to see this group tackle a original concept too, the fact that Reiser is calling this a passion project suggests to me that we should be heavily anticipating Jamaica now.

Adam West Cameo In Dark Knight Rises?
published: 2011-07-06 13:05:08 Author: Josh Tyler
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a completely bonkers Dark Knight Rises rumor. There hasn’t been any need for them, since the studio has now actually confirmed the cast. But here we go again. This time the big rumor is that Adam West is joining the movie’s cast.
The rumor originated with Floss Magazine, where they offer nothing beyond a vague proclamation to back up their findings. So the story here is I guess that some magazine says Adam West will have a cameo in Chris Nolan’s next Batman movie. Stranger things have happened. Believe it or not?
I’m going with “not” here, because casting Adam West in your movie would be a gimmick and Christopher Nolan isn’t prone to gimmicks. For fans over the age of fifty this addition might be kind of fun, he was the original TV Batman after all, but how many in The Dark Knight Rises audience are old enough to care? Definitely not enough to justify a gimmicky stunt casting.
There’s also Adam West’s age to consider. He’s 83-years-old and perhaps not getting around as well as he used to. Most of his appearances in recent years have been confined to voice work on Family Guy, though he does occasionally show up in the odd Funny or Die web video.
We’ll let you know if this rumor gets confirmed, but don’t count on it. So far Chris Nolan has shown no inclination towards this type of gimmickry, this isn’t a Marvel movie and Adam West isn’t Stan Lee.
