Megan Fox Wants to Star in "Carrie" Remake

Posted: May 23rd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




It was recently revealed that MGM hired Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ("Big Love," "Glee") to write the script for the upcoming "Carrie" remake, based on a Stephen King novel.

After the announcement, King mentioned that the casting process will be very interesting, naming Lindsay Lohan as someone who could play the role. Now comes word that Megan Fox is interested in playing Carrie.

"Megan is a huge fan of the original and would love the chance to play the lead," said a source close to the actress. "She's 25 now but she's sure she could still do justice to teenage Carrie. She's told her people to make it happen."

Question: Is Megan Fox right for the role?

Ashton Kutcher's "Two and a Half Men" Contract is For Only 1 Year

Posted: May 23rd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff




After an extensive search for Charlie Sheen's replacement on "Two and a Half Men," CBS eventually decided to cast Ashton Kutcher. Now comes word that the actor has only been signed for one year.

The problem is that CBS has licensed the show for only one additional year. If the network decides to renew it for a second year, Kutcher will once again have to negotiate his deal, likely getting even more. On the other hand, the network could simply cancel the show or re-cast Kutcher.

Sources claim that CBS is only looking to extend "Two and a Half Men" for two or three more years before calling quits for good. By bringing Kutcher at $750,000 per episode ($20 million per season), the network is saving money. Since Sheen was also a producer on the show, he was earning a whopping $2 million per episode. But whether fans will tune into a Sheen-less "Two and a Half Men" is yet to be seen.

Jennifer Aniston: 'Horrible Bosses' Posters!

Jennifer Aniston wraps her arm around a frightened Charlie Day in this poster from their upcoming movie, Horrible Bosses.

“Is your boss a sex crazed maneater?” the posters says, while another one featuring Kevin Spacey asks, “Is your boss a slave-driving psycho?,” and the one with Colin Farrell, “Is your boss a total sleazy tool?”

WATCH: Horrible Bosses Trailer

The comedy centers around Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Day), and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) - three friends who conspire to murder their awful bosses when they realize they are standing in the way of their happiness.

Keira Knightley: 'Flaunt' Cover Girl!

Keira Knightley graces the cover of Flaunt magazine’s Issue #115 - it’s the mag’s women’s spring fashion issue.
Here’s what the 26-year-old actress had to share:
On returning to theater in The Children’s Hour: “It’s so alive. It’s your job every single night to make sure that it’s working. And no one can come in and make sure that it does. That’s interesting because it means you’re incredibly focused for two and a half hours, and if something goes wrong, you have to find a way to get out of it. That can be quite difficult in front of 800 people, so it’s quite exciting.”
On why she loves theater: “I suppose I like the romance of it, because you never see the same play twice. There’s something extraordinary about something that’s lost—that you will only ever see it for that night and that night only. You’ll never see it again, and it’s not recorded, and so it’s kind of magic.”
On what’s next for her: “[H]opefully, at the end of the year, I’m going to do a film with Joe Wright, who I did Pride and Prejudice and Atonement with, but given the financial climate, nothing is ever for certain, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.”

Amy Poehler Covers New York Magazine!

Amy Poehler graces the cover of New York Magazine for the week of May 23.
Here is what the 39-year-old Parks and Recreation actress had to share with the mag:
On the one show she’d watch for the rest of her life: “Law & Order. I panic that there will be a time when it isn’t on TV. When I’m not in New York it makes me miss New York. I think about all the people angry that their streets are being closed off [cackles]. And I feel like Jerry Orbach might be someone that I will get to meet in Heaven.”
On choosing between The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family: “Brady Bunch. And Happy Days and Little House on the Prairie. If you ever need a great afternoon nap, put on Little House. The sound of the music and the horses galloping puts you to sleep, and then you can wake up and they’re usually caught in some kind of storm and you can cry.”
On what she’s learned from her Parks and Rec character: “Protect your friends. You only have one hometown. If you think you’ve had a bad date, remember, it can always get worse. And it’s okay to eat breakfast for dinner.”  http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/19/amy-poehler-covers-new-york-magazine/

Ashton Kutcher: 'Two and a Half Men' at the Upfronts!

Ashton Kutcher joins his Two and a Half Men co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones at the CBS Upfronts held at Tent at Lincoln Center on Wednesday (May 18) in New York.
During the presentation, the 33-year-old actor talked about what it means to him to join the cast of the hit show.
“I’ve never, probably in my 13 years of show business, received more emails or calls congratulating me about getting a new job. I almost think I won the lottery. Which I kind of did,” Ashton said.
Ashton joins the show next season and will reportedly make between $800,000 and $900,000 per episode. http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/19/ashton-kutcher-two-and-a-half-men-at-the-upfronts/

Lindsay Lohan Might Not Be in GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS After All
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 3:18 pm


As of now, the confusion regarding Lindsay Lohan’s status in director Barry Levinson’s Gotti: Three Generations is rivaled only by the confusion regarding her life in general. Back when Nick Cassavetes was still directing, Lohan was in talks to play Gotti’s daughter, Victoria. Then, after Cassavetes’ departure, she dropped out of the film for a hot minutes only to rejoin the project as Gotti Jr.’s wife. Flash forward to the present, and TheWrap reports that Lohan is probably on the outs once again. In an exclusive with Levinson, the director states that “She’s possibly not (in the film) because she’s got her issues, and we also got to write the script, and then we’ll see where it is.” Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the oft-publicized actress…
Regardless of Lohan’s inclusion, Gotti: Three Generations will almost definitely star John Travolta as John Gotti Sr. and Al Pacino as crime family underboss Neil Dellacroce. Levinson also confirms that the film will most likely be in front of cameras by the end of the year.

Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen to Star in VERY GOOD GIRLS Alongside Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 4:05 pm

Dakota Fanning and Sundance breakout Elizabeth Olsen have joined the cast of Very Good Girls alongside Dustin Hoffman, Sissy Spacek and Peter Sarsgaard. Written and to be directed by Namoi Foner (Running on Empty), the film tells the story of two teenage girls in New York City who decide to lose their virginity the summer after they graduate high school. Things get complicated, however, when they both fall for the same charismatic street artist (I hate it when that happens).
Olsen broke out in a big way at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, thanks in part to her harrowing turn in the drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, the creepy trailer for which was just released last week. Variety reports that production on Very Good Girls starts this September.

Alex Pettyfer Will Play Channing Tatum in MAGIC MIKE
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 4:55 pm

A couple of weeks ago, we brought you the news that Steven Soderbergh will be directing Magic Mike, a male stripper film inspired by and starring Channing Tatum. Tonight, Deadline confirms that Alex Pettyfer will be playing the role of Channing Tatum alongside, you guessed it, Channing Tatum. Confused yet? Let’s have a quick review: Channing Tatum has a foray into male stripping around the tender age of 19 (pretty standard stuff, right?). He is now, for all intents and purposes, a movie star. Star presence in hand, Tatum pitches the idea for Magic Mike to director Steven Soderbergh who quickly accepts calling it “…one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie.” Now, Tatum will play the lead role of “Mike” a dance/stripper teacher who shows Pettyfer’s character (Tatum’s 19 year-old-stripping self) the dance/stripping ropes.
Hopefully this helps clear up any confusion surrounding Pettyfer’s turn as Tatum in Magic Mike. Penned by Reid Carolin, the film is described as a “story of friendship set in the world of male strippers.” Apparently it takes place during a “wild summer” and lots of “dancing, partying, and women” are involved. Sounds great to me. By Soderbergh’s own previous admission, Saturday Night Fever will be a heavy influence for Magic Mike. Production details for the project are currently undisclosed.

Ashton Kutcher to Join TWO AND A HALF MEN
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 6:28 pm


It looks like the casting circus surrounding Two and a Half Men is finally over. Sources have confirmed to THR that Ashton Kutcher is putting the final touches on a deal to join the cast of the sitcom, filling the void left by Charlie Sheen after he decided acting sane was too much to ask of him for over $1 million per episode. The deal comes in the wake of Hugh Grant nearly joining the cast, only to pull out at the last minute over concerns about doing 20+ episodes of a TV series every year. No word on how Kutcher will be incorporated into the show, but one source lied that the storyline is “really funny.” I’m just baffled as to how this show is still a thing.

Hugh Grant Turns Down "Two and a Half Men" Offer of $600,000 Per Episode

Posted: May 13th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

CBS and Warner Bros are running out of time to replace Charlie Sheen on the "Two and a Half Men" reboot. The plan has been to get a top-tier actor, but they don't come cheap, which is why one of the options is to just scrap the show.

Recently, producer Chuck Lorre approached Hugh Grant with an offer of $600,000 per episode. Grant turned it down. THR has learned that Lorre now has his sights on a new unidentified actor.

The reason for the rush is because CBS and Warners will hold a presentation for advertisers on May 18th. If an actor is not on board, that would delay the launch of the show.

Jesse Eisenberg Re-Teams with "Social Network" Producer for "Terrorist Search Engine"

Posted: May 13th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

"The Social Network" producer Scott Rudin just optioned "The Terrorist Search Engine," a recent New York Magazine profile of controversial counter-terrorism expert witness Evan Kohlmann.

The plan is to turn the article into a feature film and Rudin is already in talks with "Social Network" star Jesse Eisenberg to take the lead. Before committing to the project, Eisenberg first wants to see the script.

Written by Wesley Yang, "Engine" details how Kohlmann — dubbed "the Doogie Howser of Terrorism" by an FBI agent when he was just 23 years old — has helped convict 23 defendants in federal courts and Guantanamo Bay tribunals with his expert witness testimony. Now 31, Kohlmann is a controversial figure who has made testifying at such trials his principal source of income.

Robert De Niro and Katherine Heigl in "Gently Down the Stream" Comedy

Posted: May 12th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Katherine Heigl and Amanda Seyfried are set to star in the indie comedy "Gently Down the Stream." Justin Zackham (The Bucket List) will write and direct the film.

De Niro and Keaton play a long-divorced couple who, for the sake of their adopted son's wedding and his biological mother, pretend they are still married. They quickly learn that acting the part isn't easy, especially when their past, present and future unravel for all to see.

"I'm excited to be able to continue what we started with on 'The Bucket List,'" said Zackham. "Iconic actors in a funny, adult, character-driven story, albeit with a little more sex and bad behavior on everyone's part."

Production is scheduled to start this July in Greenwich, CT.

"Horrible Bosses" Trailer is Here!

Posted: May 11th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

Today we have the trailer for "Horrible Bosses" comedy, starring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston and Jamie Foxx. Check it out below.

Plot: For Nick (Bateman), Kurt (Sudeikis) and Dale (Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses (Spacey, Farrell, Aniston) into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Foxx), the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers... permanently. There's only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.

The new film is directed by Seth Gordon (Four Christmases, The King of Kong) and is set to hit theaters on July 8th.

**Isabelle Fuhrman and Alexander Ludwig Round Out the Tributes in THE HUNGER GAMES Cast **Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Christopher Walken Join Colin Farrell in SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS **Ashton Kutcher to Replace Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men" **Alex Pettyfer Joins Channing Tatum as Strippers in "Magic Mike"

Isabelle Fuhrman and Alexander Ludwig Round Out the Tributes in THE HUNGER GAMES Cast
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 8:51 pm


The basic premise behind The Hunger Games is a fight to the death between 24 kids (ages 12-18) — two “tributes” selected from each of the 12 districts of Panem, the dictatorship of the future. Lionsgate has spent the last month steadily rolling out the young cast that will play the kids, saving two of the most important tributes for today’s final announcement. You can gauge their relative importance by their names — known not as “Tribute Boy” and “Tribute Girl,” but rather as Cato and Clove of District 2. Alexander Ludwig (Race to Witch Mountain) will play Cato, Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan) will play Clove. I can’t speak for Ludwig’s talent, but the Fuhrman casting is excellent. She wowed us all in Orphan in 2009, but screen credits since have been minimal (The Cleveland Show?). Fuhrman is perfect for Clove, who is great with a knife and, um… not very nice.
Virtually all of the principal roles are filled: Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, Wes Bentley as Seneca Crane, Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Willow Shields as Primrose, and Paula Malcomson as Mrs. Everdeen. Find a Cinna (perhaps Lenny Kravitz?) and a President Snow, and you’re pretty much set. Director Gary Ross (Seabiscuit) ought to begin production soon to make the planned March 23, 2012 release date. Hit the jump for the official synopsis the full tribute casting rundown.

Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Christopher Walken Join Colin Farrell in SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 9:45 pm

 

Quick — before you read the headline, think of four male actors you’d like to see in a movie together.  Now, less than 2% of you named Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Christopher Walken.  But 14% combined two or more of these actors, and an impressive 37% of your lists included at least one.  This bodes well for Seven Psychopaths, the black comedy which secured Farrell, Rockwell, Rourke, and Walken at the Cannes Film Festival today.  Per Variety, the story centers on “a screenwriter (Farrell) struggling for inspiration for his script, Seven Psychopaths, who gets drawn into the dog kidnapping schemes of his oddball friends (Rockwell and Walken).”  How can you not love a movie that casts Rockwell and Walken as “oddball friends”/dog kidnappers separated by 26 years in age?  Rourke will play a gangster who causes trouble when his dog goes missing.  (Given Rourke’s love of dogs and general flirtation with insanity, he may not know he is in Seven Psychopaths.)
The project reunites Farrell and In Bruges writer/director Martin McDonagh, not to mention In Bruges producers Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, and Tessa Ross.  The ineffable Meghan Ellison (True Grit) is also on board as producer.
