Jamie Foxx to Replace Will Smith in Tarantino's "Django Unchained" Second Our Idiot Brother Trailer ***American Reunion Set Photos

Jamie Foxx to Replace Will Smith in Tarantino's "Django Unchained"

Posted: June 14th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

We recently learned that Will Smith was the frontrunner to star in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained." But now comes word that Smith may pass on the role, because Jamie Foxx is now in talks to replace him.

If cast, Foxx will play Django, a freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey that will see him team with a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to take down an evil plantation owner Monsieur Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).

Idris Elba and Samuel L. Jackson are also attached, while DiCaprio is officially on board. The plan is to begin filming this fall.

Jamie Foxx Latest Actor Rumored For Django Unchained, Possibly Replacing Will Smith

published: 2011-06-14 12:50:35 Author: Katey Rich
Any new Quentin Tarantino project will be subject of a lot of rumors, but the speculation has been especially crazy around Django Unchained, the new QT project that probably will star Will Smith, or hey, unless it's Idris Elba, or maybe Chris Tucker could get the part. The story about an escaped slave taking vengeance on his evil master (probably to be played by Leonardo DiCaprio-- that's one rumor that seems to be for real) now has a new name circling: Jamie Foxx.

As reported by Showbiz 411 Foxx is now in the running for the part; it's unclear if that news came from Samuel L. Jackson, who chatted with 411's Roger Friedman at the Tonys, or from some other unspecified source. The same source also said that Leonardo DiCaprio is confirmed for the film, but again, having no idea who the source is it's hard to know how much we should trust them. So take this all as just more fodder for the rumor mill for now.

Foxx, though… that's an interesting thought. The actor's career has been all over the place since he won an Oscar for Ray back in 2005, with starring roles in Miami Vice and The Soloist not really going anywhere and bit parts in Valentine's Day and Due Date failing to garner much attention for him individually. Working with Tarantino would be a huge change of pace for Foxx, but the director has been able to work magic with all kinds of actors you'd never expect to cross his radar. I still think Will Smith could benefit most from a QT career revival, but if he falls out for some reason, Foxx is a fascinating second choice.

Paul Rudd's New Our Idiot Brother Trailer Makes A Case For Legalizing Pot

published: 2011-06-14 17:46:11 Author: Josh Tyler
Here’s a new trailer for Our Idiot Brother, and along the way to making this movie seem like a must see, it also makes a pretty good case for how ridiculous it is that we’re actually still locking up people for smoking marijuana.

In the film Paul Rudd plays a harmless, lovable, stoner whose insistence on kindness, honesty, and thinking the best of everyone lands him in jail for possession. He gets out and ends up going to live with his sisters, all of whom are endlessly frustrated by his kindhearted ways.

Watch the latest trailer for Our Idiot Brother below or in HD on Yahoo.
There’s a point in this trailer where Rudd’s siblings, played by Zooey Deschanel and Elizabeth Banks, get together and wish they could love things as much as their brother does. Answer: You can. All you need is a bong and a healthy resistance to the side effects of paranoia. Write your congressman now. Thanks Our Idiot Brother, for making me wish I could smoke out.

Our Idiot Brother arrives in theaters August 26th. For more in the movie visit our page in the Blend Film Database.

Barry Levinson to Direct Al Pacino in THE HUMBLING This Fall Before Shooting GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS First Poster for OUR IDIOT BROTHER Starring Paul Rudd Adam Scott Joins MY MOTHER’S CURSE Starring Seth Rogen and Nate Meyer’s SEE GIRL RUN Mark Romanek Says He Won’t Direct THE WOLVERINE

Barry Levinson to Direct Al Pacino in THE HUMBLING This Fall Before Shooting GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS

by Adam Chitwood Posted: June 10th, 2011

Director Barry Levinson, who’s been busy putting together the large-scale mob flick Gotti: Three Generations, has decided to shoot another film this fall before commencing production on Gotti. Levinson will reunite with his You Don’t Know Jack star Al Pacino (who’s also set to star in Gotti) in an adaptation of Phillip Roth’s novel The Humbling. The film centers on a famous retired stage actor in decline who moves to upstate New York with a much younger woman, resulting in his reinvigoration.
Deadline reports that the plan is to shoot The Humbling this fall, with Levinson currently working on filling out the rest of his cast. He co-wrote the script alongside Buck Henry and Michal Zebede. Levinson recently took over directing duties on Gotti: Three Generations after Nick Cassavetes left the project. He and his Bugsy co-writer James Toback are now giving Gotti a page-one rewrite, and while the cast could change once the script is finished, he’s very keen on Pacino and John Travolta starring in the film. Hit the jump for more, including a synopsis of Phillip Roth’s The Humbling. http://collider.com/barry-levinson-the-humbling-al-pacino/95864/

Adam Scott Joins MY MOTHER’S CURSE Starring Seth Rogen and Nate Meyer’s SEE GIRL RUN

by Adam Chitwood Posted: June 10th, 2011

Adam Scott is a scene-stealer. He’s consistently funny and nails every role he takes on, no matter how small, from Step Brothers to NBC’s Parks and Recreation. So I’m happy to report that the actor’s nabbed roles in a couple of upcoming projects. First up, Risky Business reports that Scott has been cast in the comedy My Mother’s Curse alongside Seth Rogen, Barbara Streisand, Yvonne Strahovski and Colin Hanks. Anne Fletcher (The Proposal) directs from a script by Dan Fogelman (Tangled) that centers on an inventor (Rogen) who invites his mother along for a cross-country trip while he attempts to sell his new product and connect with a long lost love. Lorne Michaels, Evan Goldberg and John Goldwyn are producing.
Additionally, Scott has been cast in See Girl Run. Written and directed by Nate Meyer (Pretty in the Face), the film centers on a girl “who gets caught up in ‘what ifs’ that cause her to dig back into her romantic history.” Scott is set to play a local hero from her hometown that stayed there to become an artist while pining for his high school love. Scott will next be seen alongside Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks and Zooey Deschanel in Our Idiot Brother which opens August 26^th.

Mark Romanek Says He Won’t Direct THE WOLVERINE, Comments on the Script

by Adam Chitwood Posted: June 10th, 2011

A few weeks ago, we reported on a shortlist of directors that Fox was considering to helm The Wolverine, the follow-up to 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. One of the best directors on that list (and my personal favorite) was Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go). Well today comes the unfortunate news that Romanek has passed on helming the flick. The director confirmed to Digital Spy (via The Playlist) that the material wasn’t quite up his alley, though he did give the Christopher McQuarrie script a semi-compliment:

“That’s just one of those stories that floated around. I was on their list, I received the script months ago. It didn’t seem like my kind of thing. That script was a terrific version of that kind of thing, but not something I felt really passionate about.”

While it’s disappointing that we won’t be seeing Romanek’s version of a superhero flick, I’m excited to see him do something he’s passionate about when he chooses his next project. Fox’s shortlist for Wolverine directors is rather low on depth, favoring more eye-candy friendly helmers (Fast Five‘s Justin Lin, Jumper‘s Doug Liman). After Romanek, my pick of the lot would be James Mangold. He’s proven himself dramatically (3:10 to Yuma) and he’s also shown he can stage fantastic action set-pieces (Knight and Day). The Wolverine stars Hugh Jackman, and is largely set in Japan.

Photos: "Captain America" Filming Secret Scene in Times Square

Photos: Captain America Filming Secret Scene in Times Square

Less than two months before release, director Joe Johnston took Samuel L Jackson and Chris Evans to shoot additional scenes for "Captain America: The First Avenger" at Times Square on Saturday. There were plenty of people in the area, which is why we now have a video and several photos from the set.

Judging by the photos, it seems that this is Marvel's post-credits scene in which Steve Rogers (Evans) travels from the 1940s to present day and is overwhelmed by the chaos of today's New York. Check everything out below.

Now that "The Avengers" are getting ready to begin filming on Monday, Evans is worried that he won't get the chance to star in films other than Captain America-related.

Evans explained: "That was a big concern when we agreed to do the film. I said look, 'If do this movie, I don't want to only be in a blue superhero outfit for the next ten years. That's just not creatively satisfying.'"

He confirmed that Marvel is already working on the "Captain America" sequel and "The Avengers" is getting ready to begin filming on Monday. "It's gonna be tough. I might not have a lot of downtime in my life," said Evans. "We did sign a six picture thing, so there's potentially three Captain America's and three Avengers."

Trailer: Paul Rudd's "Our Idiot Brother" Comedy

Posted: April 24th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

Trailer: Paul Rudds Our Idiot Brother Comedy

Today we have the trailer for "Our Idiot Brother" comedy, starring Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer and Zooey Deschanel. It is directed by Jesse Peretz (The Ex) and is set to hit theaters on August 26th. Check out the trailer below.

Plot: Every family has one: the sibling who is always just a little bit behind the curve when it comes to getting his life together. For sisters Liz (Mortimer), Miranda (Banks) and Natalie (Deschanel), that person is their perennially upbeat brother Ned (Rudd), an erstwhile organic farmer whose willingness to rely on the honesty of mankind is a less-than-optimum strategy for a tidy, trouble-free existence.

Ned may be utterly lacking in common sense, but he is their brother and so, after his girlfriend dumps him and boots him off the farm, his sisters once again come to his rescue. As Liz, Emily and Natalie each take a turn at housing Ned, their brother's unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their comfortable routines. But as each of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's family comes to realize that maybe, in believing and trusting the people around him, Ned isn't such an idiot after all.

Photo: Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady"

Posted: April 22nd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

Today we have a photo of Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher her husband Denis in "The Iron Lady" biopic. Check out the photo below.

Plot: The film tells the compelling story of Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.

"The film covers a big spectrum of her life in order to sum up the kind of person she was, and why she has this iconic status," said an executive producer.

"The Iron Lady" is directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) and co-stars Anthony Head. It has yet to secure US distribution, but is set to hit UK theaters on January 6th, 2012.

Megan Fox in Talks to Join Judd Apatow’s KNOCKED UP Spin-Off Tommy Lee Jones to Join Meryl Streep in NEW HOPE SPRINGS? Shia LaBeouf to Star in HORNS Albert Brooks Eyes Role in Judd Apatow’s KNOCKED UP Spin-Off

Megan Fox in Talks to Join Judd Apatow’s KNOCKED UP Spin-Off Starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 16th, 2011
Megan Fox is in negotiations to join Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up spin-off starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. THR reports that Fox’s role is currently unknown and no plot has currently been revealed for the film other than Rudd and Mann will reprise their bickering husband-and-wife characters from the 2007 comedy. The under-wraps film is currently set to be released on June 1, 2012.

This is the latest comedy that Fox has signed on to. She previously boarded Jennifer Westfeldt’s ensemble comedy Friends with Kids with Jon Hamm, Adam Scott, and Kristen Wiig. Fox’s latest film, Passion Play, was picked up at the Toronto Film Festival despite abysmal reviews. Play, which co-stars Mickey Rourke and Bill Murray, will be released directed to DVD. While Fox hasn’t landed a hit in a while, she can be charming when given the right material. Hopefully this new supporting work in these upcoming comedies will help to re-establish her.

Tommy Lee Jones to Join Meryl Streep in NEW HOPE SPRINGS?
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 16th, 2011
Tommy Lee Jones may be poised to team up with Meryl Streep in David Frankel’s (The Devil Wears Prada) drama New Hope Springs. We previously reported that Steve Carell was in talks to join the film, and now Deadline reports that Tommy Lee Jones is the frontrunner to play Streep’s husband. The story centers on a couple who, after 31 years of marriage, go into intense couples counseling to decide whether or not they should stay together. Carell would play the therapist.

While nothing’s been confirmed, Jones seems like a perfect fit opposite Streep. Here’s hoping he takes the role. Vanessa Taylor (TV’s Everwood) wrote the script and shooting is set to begin this August.

Shia LaBeouf to Star in HORNS
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 16th, 2011
Shia LaBeouf is attached to star in the feature film adaptation of the Joe Hill novel Horns. LaBeouf will play Ig Perrish, a 26-year-old who drinks heavily on the first anniversary of his girlfriend’s murder and awakes the next morning with horns growing from his head: “As his horns grow bigger, Ig sets out to investigate the unsolved murder of his girlfriend and the case’s connection to his cursed fate.”

Keith Bunin (In Treatment) will adapt the screenplay for Mandalay Pictures, who optioned Horns in 2009 shortly before the book was published. Hit the jump for the full synopsis, plus a look at the other projects Hill and LaBeouf have in development.

Albert Brooks Eyes Role in Judd Apatow’s KNOCKED UP Spin-Off Starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 16th, 2011
Earlier today, we reported that Megan Fox is in talks to join Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up spinoff, featuring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprising their characters from that film. Now it looks like Albert Brooks may be joining the cast as well. Deadline reports that Brooks would play Rudd’s character’s father in the film that Apatow wrote and will direct.

No other plot details are known at this point, but Rudd and Mann stole nearly every scene together in Knocked Up and the pairing of Brooks and Apatow seems like a genius combination, so it’s safe to say that this project’s a bit anticipated. Though Apatow produces plenty, he’s only written and directed three flicks to date: The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Funny People. No word on when production is set to start, but with casting moving rather quickly, the film will most likely be rolling soon.
