February 12, 2011 @ 8:33 am PST    Community     Andy Neuenschwander    

It's going to be a multi-storyline episode of "Community", as the gang is clearly splitting for the episode: as Jeff says following a hilarious Barenaked Ladies (excuse me, "BNL") argument, "We. Are in. A fight!"

First up, Pierce is apparently still on his painkillers, and is revisited by the tiny man he sees when on them, played by Andy Dick.

February 11, 2011 @ 3:17 pm PST    30 Rock, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole     Andy Neuenschwander    

The title of this week's episode, "Double-Edged Sword," has a double application. First, in the cold open, Jack warns Liz that dating someone too similar to yourself can be a double-edged sword. Liz, it seems, is planning a romantic weekend with Carol, which could only mean one thing: it's Matt Damon time!

The second double-edged sword reference is in Tracy Jordan's storyline.

Prepare for a torrent of OMGs all across the land - Emma Watson and Taylor Lautner, together at last.

Now, it's not official just yet. Just Jared is reporting that Watson is the top contender in a film Lautner is already attached to. The film in question, "Incarceron," is about a young man, Finn (Lautner), who experiences vivid flashbacks to life on the Outside, despite only having clear memories of life in the enormous prison Incarceron.

February 11, 2011 @ 2:24 pm PST    500 Days of Summer, Almost Famous, Elf, All the Real Girls, Weeds, Bones     Scott Nye    

Zooey Deschanel has made her name over the last decade being absolutely adorable in such films as "Almost Famous," "Elf," and "All the Real Girls" before seeing a surprising breakout hit in the indie romance "(500) Days of Summer."

Now, after guest stints on "Weeds" and "Bones," she's set to have a series all her own with "Chicks and Dicks.

February 11, 2011 @ 1:12 pm PST    Terminator Salvation     Marivic Cabural    

After serving the State of California as governor for eight years, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in the movie biz. We'll refrain from using his signature catchphrase to tell you about it.

On Thursday, the “Terminator’ actor tweeted, "Exciting news - my friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today.

'Lay the Favorite, Take the Dog' Takes Willis, While 'Die Hard 5' Takes Its Time
February 11, 2011 @ 12:44 pm PST    Die Hard     Scott Nye    
It's pretty rare that a film actually has a better title than the book from which it's adapted, but Stephen Frears' "Lay the Favorite, Take the Dog," adapted from the memoir "Lay the Favorite: A Memoir of Gambling," certainly meets that criteria. Beth Raymer's best-seller is the chronicle of her journey from Vegas cocktail waitress to one of the top sports gambling bookmakers.

On a Steel Horse He Rides: Tom Cruise to Co-Star, Sing Bon Jovi in 'Rock of Ages'
February 11, 2011 @ 12:12 pm PST    Rock of Ages     Scott Nye    

Last year, the Tom Cruise vehicle "Knight and Day," in spite of being spectacularly entertaining, bombed at the box office.

Musicals have been a dicey proposition since "Moulin Rouge!" made them cool again; for every "Chicago" or "Mama Mia!" there has been a "Rent" or "Nine." New Line and director Adam Shankman ("Hairspray") are hoping the current wave of 80s nostalgia will eviscerate both of these roadblocks with their new film, "Rock of Ages.

Oliver Stone Finds New Project, Oscar-Nominated Leading Lady (Jennifer Lawrence) to Go With It
February 11, 2011 @ 11:46 am PST    Winter's Bone     Scott Nye    

You have to hand it to Oliver Stone - over the last decade, he's been lucky to have a film that's turned a profit at all (and the enormous losses on "Alexander" easily swallow the tiny wins with "W." and "World Trade Center"), but he keeps on finding people to finance his insanity films.

Now, Deadline reports that he's in talks with Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone") to star in his next film, an adaptation of the Don Winslow novel "Savages.

Anderson's Angel: Billionaire to Finance Two New Films from 'There Will Be Blood' Director Paul Thomas Anderson
February 11, 2011 @ 11:35 am PST    There Will Be Blood     Scott Nye    

If there are two things I love, it's art-driven cinema and eccentric billionaires.

Now, miraculously, those two interests have merged with the Vulture report that Megan Ellison, daughter of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, is coming to the rescue of Paul Thomas Anderson (writer/director of "There WIll Be Blood," "Boogie Nights," and "Magnolia").

In spite of "There Will Be Blood," Anderson's latest film from 2007, receiving eight Oscar nominations, Anderson's had a bit of a time getting his next project to production.
