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.

With the NFL lockout looming, Funny Or Die put together its bigger video yet. Called "Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout," the three minute fake trailer stars Taylor Lautner (Twilight), Dennis Haysbert, and "Field of Dreams" stars Kevin Costner and Ray Liotta. Check it out below.


In the video, Lautner is building a football field in his backyard, which results in well-known football players using it, including Ray Lewis, DeSean Jackson, Tony Gonzalez and Dwight Freeney.


This trailer debuted on SportsCenter Wednesday morning and features cameos from ESPN's Steve Levy and the NFL Network's Rick Eisen and Marshall Faulk.

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:

International "Johnny English Reborn" Trailer
Posted: July 6th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Today we have an international trailer for the upcoming "Johnny English" sequel, starring Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, Dominic West and Rosamund Pike. The film is directed by Oliver Parker (Dorian Gray). Check out the trailer below.


Plot: In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty's Secret Service must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI-7's top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent.


Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect us all. For Johnny English, disaster may be an option, but failure never is.

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.

Looper Is Most Important Film of My Career Says Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Apr 17, 2011 by B. Alan Orange
Joseph Gordon-Levitt calls Looper most important film of his careerLooper is a sci-fi time travel thriller that finds a group of hit men traveling into the past to kill their victims before they can commit their crimes. We haven't heard much about the movie at this point. Now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, while promoting Inception in Shanghai, has called Looper, perhaps, the most important film of his career.


Here is what Joseph Gordon-Levitt had to say about Looper.




"I feel now, doing 'Looper,' is the result of what happened with 'Inception.' It is something I have been working for my whole life. It is like nothing I have seen before. It has action. It has romance. It also deals with philosophy. I really like it."




Looper comes to theaters in 2011 and stars Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paul Dano, Noah Segan, Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo. The film is directed by Rian Johnson.

**DEXTER Creator to Helm LOVE, SCOTCH AND DEATH Starring Michael C. Hall and Vera Farmiga **Drew Barrymore Talks Next Directorial Project HOW TO BE SINGLE **First Trailer for ABDUCTION Starring Taylor Lautner **Olga Kurylenko and Liana Liberato Join Aaron Eckhart in THE EXPATRIATE

DEXTER Creator to Helm LOVE, SCOTCH AND DEATH Starring Michael C. Hall and Vera Farmiga
by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 13th, 2011
James Manos Jr., who created the Showtime series Dexter, is poised to make his feature directorial debut with Love, Scotch and Death. The semi-autobiographical film was written by Manos and will star Michael C. Hall and Vera Farmiga. Deadline reports that the story follows a very strange week in the protagonist’s life. Hall’s character returns home from a stressful vacation to find out that his parents have died, leading him on a bizarre path where he encounters “an unsympathetic funeral director, his bewildered children and manic wife, an eccentric priest, and some over-sexed neighbors.”


Filming is scheduled to begin on the independent film this November, after Hall wraps the latest season of Dexter. Manos previously wrote for The Sopranos, winning an Emmy for co-writing the classic first season episode “College.”

Drew Barrymore Talks Next Directorial Project HOW TO BE SINGLE
by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 13th, 2011
Drew Barrymore is poised to make her second feature as a director (after 2009’s Whip It) with the adaptation of Liz Tuccillo’s novel How to Be Single. The romantic comedy follows the “love lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the span of ten years.” Barrymore recently spoke a bit about the project:


“This has a very wide palette that I really really like. I’m so interested in so many different types of people and lifestyles that there is kind of a lovely mosaic, like a little bit for everybody.”


The screenwriting team from He’s Just Not That Into You, Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn, are set to script the film. Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen (who also produced He’s Just Not That Into You) will produce. Hit the jump for more from Barrymore, including why How to Be Single is not really a romantic comedy, and a synopsis of the novel.

First Trailer for ABDUCTION Starring Taylor Lautner
by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 13th, 2011
The first trailer for the action thriller Abduction, starring Taylor Lautner, has been released. Directed by John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood) the thriller centers around a young man who sets out to uncover the truth after finding a baby photo of himself listed on a missing persons website. While Lautner’s acting still seems a bit too ham-fisted to be taken seriously, the supporting cast is fairly impressive and some of the action sequences actually looked pretty cool. I understand Lautner’s desire to move on to bigger and better things post-Twilight, but the guy’s no Tom Cruise.


Abduction stars Lautner, Lily Collins, Sigourney Weaver, Danny Glover, Alfred Molina, Michael Nyqvist, Maria Bello, and Jason Isaacs. The film is set to be released on September 23rd. Hit the jump to watch the trailer.

Olga Kurylenko and Liana Liberato Join Aaron Eckhart in THE EXPATRIATE
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: April 13th, 2011
Since he was first cast in the spy thriller The Expatriate last November, Aaron Eckhart has become a bona fide action star thanks to Battle: Los Angeles ($105 million worldwide and counting). Appropriately, Eckhart will be awarded his own Bond girl for his follow-up. Variety reports Quantum of Solace siren Olga Kurylenko will play “a CIA agent assigned to track down her former CIA partner and lover (Eckhart).” Additionally, Liana Liberato (Trust) has been cast as Eckhart’s daughter. Director Philipp Stölzl is currently filming The Expatriate in Montreal; production will shift to Brussels in May.

***Dakota Fanning to Star in MISSISSIPPI WILD; Robert Duvall, Mickey Rourke, and Forest Whitaker in Talks to Co-Star ***Taylor Lautner and Michael Bay Team-Up to Auction Script Described as “MR. & MRS. SMITH Meets WANTED” ***Cher to Play Mother Superior in THE THREE STOOGES?

Dakota Fanning to Star in MISSISSIPPI WILD; Robert Duvall, Mickey Rourke, and Forest Whitaker in Talks to Co-Star

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 16th, 2011

Dakota Fanning and Ryan Donowho (Bandslam) have signed on to lead the indie thriller Mississippi WildVariety reports that Robert Duvall, Mickey Rourke, and Forest Whitaker are in negotiations to co-star.  The plot follows a teen (Donowho) “who has to go on the run with his girlfriend (Fanning) after stealing diamonds that belong to a local gangster.”  Rourke is being courted for the role of the gangster while Whitaker is in talks to play a gangster who’s after Rourke’s character.  There’s no word yet on who Duvall would play.  Production is scheduled to begin on March 21st in Atlanta.
Fanning recently signed on to star in Girls Night Out, but Variety says she’ll first be starring alongside Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff in The Motel Life.  Filming on Life is expected to begin this month.




Taylor Lautner and Michael Bay Team-Up to Auction Script Described as “MR. & MRS. SMITH Meets WANTED”

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 16th, 2011

Taylor Lautner and director Michael Bay have sent out an untitled script to the major studios.  The Twilight actor and Transformers director won’t discuss the story but insiders tell Deadline that “it’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets Wanted.“  I’m interpreting this to mean that the movie is about a nihilistic couple who take their orders from a magic quilt, and that the story abruptly ends.”  Or, as is more likely, the movie involves elite assassins.  Huzzah.
Hit the jump for where Mr. & Mrs. Wanted might fit into Lautner’s busy schedule.




Cher to Play Mother Superior in THE THREE STOOGES?

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 16th, 2011

Last December, we reported that Richard Jenkins was the first cast member on board the Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges.  Jenkins was set to play an abusive nun who torments Larry, Moe, and Curly at the orphanage where they grow up.  As a huge Jenkins fans, I thought that was great news.  Now 24 Frames is coming along to slap my enthusiasm in the face by saying that the Farrellys want to cast Cher as Mother Superior, the nun whom the Stooges terrorize.  Now it’s possible that Jenkins’ nun would still be in the movie, but 24 Frames makes no mention of him.  Cher had a cameo in the Farrellys’ 2003 film, Stuck on You.  As someone who has never enjoyed anything I’ve seen Cher do (and that includes Moonstruck), I’m indifferent-at-best about this news.

*Andrew Garfield, Jennifer Garner and Marcia Gay Harden to Star in BACK ROADS **Casting Call: Amanda Seyfried to Star in GONE; ER’s Goran Visnjic Joins THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO ***Emma Watson Top Choice for INCARCERON Starring Taylor Lautner

Andrew Garfield, Jennifer Garner and Marcia Gay Harden to Star in BACK ROADS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 9th, 2011

It looks like Spidey’s found his next film, and it’s not a big-budget action flick. Andrew Garfield, Jennifer Garner and Marica Gay Harden have been tapped to star in the adaptation of Tawni O’Dell’s bestselling novel Back Roads. Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction) will direct the murder-mystery drama that tells the story of a young man (Garfield) who is forced to take care of his three sisters after his mother is sent to prison for murdering their abusive father. Garner will portray a neighbor, with whom Garfield strikes up a romance, while Harden will take on the role of Garfield’s therapist. “Several high-profile young actresses” are apparently being vetted to star as Garfield’s sisters.
It’s promising to see Garfield choose darker, more dramatic material like this in light of his recent shot to super-stardom following his casting as Spider-Man. He was pitch-perfect in Never Let Me Go and stood out in an already stellar cast in The Social Network. Garner more than proved she can handle drama with her turn in Juno and Academy Award-winner Harden is fantastic in just about every role she takes on. Variety reports that Lyne is writing the screenplay alongside O’Dell. Hit the jump for a full synopsis of the novel.

Casting Call: Amanda Seyfried to Star in GONE; ER’s Goran Visnjic Joins THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 9th, 2011

A couple of casting stories for you this evening. Amanda Seyfried has joined Summit’s thriller Gone. Directed by Heitor Dhalia, the film tells the story of a girl who returns home after the night shift to find her sister’s bed empty. She’s convinced that the serial killer who kidnapped her two years before has come back to finish the job. Allison Burnett (Untraceable) wrote the screenplay. Seyfried will next be seen in Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood which opens on March 11th.
ER alum Goran Visnjic has joined the cast of David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Visnjic will play Dragan Armansky, the CEO of the security firm that employs the protagonist Lisbeth Salander. His character appears in all three books of the trilogy, and Deadline reports that Visnjic has signed on for the two subsequent film adaptations as well. Dragon Tattoo stars Rooney Mara, Daniel Craig, Stellan Skarsgaard, Robin Wright, Christopher Plummer and Joley Richardson. Filming is currently underway, with the film set to be released on December 21st.

Emma Watson Top Choice for INCARCERON Starring Taylor Lautner

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 9th, 2011

1000 teenage heads just exploded. Apparently Harry Potter star/college student Emma Watson is the top contender to take on the role of Claudia in Fox 2000’s adaptation of Catherine Fisher’s teen fantasy/sci-fi novel Incarceron. In December, Taylor Lautner was tapped to take on the lead role of seventeen-year-old Finn in the film, who is imprisoned in Incarceron, “a prison so vast that it contains not only cells, but also metal forests, dilapidated cities, and vast wilderness.”
No director is currently attached, but Just Jared reports that John Palermo (X-Men: The Last Stand, Wolverine) is producing. If Watson signs on, Fox will surely want to get this project going as soon as possible. Adam Cooper and Bill Collage (Accepted, the upcoming Tower Heist) will pen the screenplay. Watson has Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 coming out this summer, and My Week With Marilyn hitting theaters sometime this year. Hit the jump to read the synopsis for the Incarceron. http://collider.com/emma-watson-incarceron/75402/

***Hollywood’s Top Earners in 2010

Hollywood’s Top Earners in 2010

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: February 2nd, 2011

Vanity Fair has posted their annual list of the Hollywood folk who earned the most from making movies in 2010, and I love that they break every total down into upfront fees, back-end, and ancilliary revenue.  The top 10 is split between actors — Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Sandler, Taylor Lautner, Robert Downey Jr. — and producer/directors — James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Tim Burton, Todd Phillips.  Hit the jump to see how they ranked and what they earned.
The list only counts money made from film-related projects (i.e. no television or advertisement paychecks), and counts the income made from January 1 to December 31, 2010 no matter when the movie was/will be released.  This excludes $50 million Cameron’s 2010 total, but he had no problem claiming the top spot with all his Avatar funds.
It’s funny to that Theme Park Consultant was Spielberg’s most profitable job last year.  I was taken aback by his $20 million upfront fee to write and produce War Horse — never got the sense the drama would have the scale that merits such a large paycheck for behind-the-camera talent.
Kinda sad to see only 6 females in the top 40, none of whom made the top 10.  But man is it cool to see Christopher Nolan in the top five without any help from Batman — his only source of income an entirely original property.
Vanity Fair posted the top 40 at their site.  Here are the top 10:

1. James Cameron – $257 million
  • $248 million: Avatar (back-end for writing, producing, and directing, based on 2010 worldwide box-office gross of $1.95 billion, and share of DVD and pay-television revenue; excludes $50 million earned in 2009)

  • $4 million: Older film revenue (e.g., back-end and royalties from earlier projects, other payments)
