Night At The Museum 2 First Look

Now, one of the better Ben Stiller movies as late was TROPIC THUNDER. On of the other ones was a film called NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, which made a bagillion dollars at the international box-office, which pretty much guaranteed it a sequel. Well, that sequel is 'in the can' as Hollywood folk say, and is winging its way to cinemas soon. The full title for the movie is NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2: NIGHT AT THE SMITHSONIAN. As you may be able to tell from the title, the gig takes place at the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C.
Ben Stiller, Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan all return, along with new additions to the cast in the form of Amy Adams, Christopher Guest, Jonah Hill, Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, Ed Helms, Craig Robinson and Eugene Levy.
USA Today have provided the world with a first look at the film via these pics. So, are you looking forward to seeing this?

Eddie Izzard says they're making a 'Riches' movie

Eddie Izzard has revealed that a film version of the TV show THE RICHES is in the works. The Brit comedian revealed to the BBC that a movie of the now canceled TV show is on the way.
"We've had the meeting and the writers are going to go off and slam out a story," Izzard told the BBC.
"We're going to raise money like Barack Obama through the internet, and we're going to shoot it guerilla-style."
"Everything's getting tight, money's getting tight and there's the credit crunch - so it's the time to go out and be inventive." He added.
"We'll shoot it guerilla-style," he continued, "using gorillas to actually shoot it. We're going to give them cameras...
"No, we're going to just get in there and maybe not have permission to do things, but just film it.
"People will be going, 'who are they? Who are they?'"

Angelina Jolie: I Want 13 or 14 Kids

Angelina Jolie greets fans and signs autographs before a screening of her new movie A Mighty Heart at the French Institute in New York City on Thursday night.

Here are a a few excerpts from last night’s taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: When you walked the streets of Pakistan, do you wear a head cover? A burka? Can I, if I may? And I say this with all due respect, Can the burka contain your hotness? It’s not possible, is it? You are our most powerful weapon against extremism.” I did actually put on a burka to see what it was like. [laughs]

How are you doing? Are you exhausted? I’m great. I’ve got a crazy big happy family and I’m used to chaos, and I’m very, very lucky.

How high are we going? Where are you going to go [in terms of kids]? It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14. [laughs]Wow. I’ll tell you this. I admire that, because two is kicking my ***! Yeah, I understand that.

Four is kind of kicking our ***, but we kind of feel like, ‘Damn it, we’re up for the challenge!’ [laughs] Yeah man, who are they? Little bastards, think they can beat us. They can’t beat us! We’re the adults! That’s right! [laughs]PLAYDATE! And if the kids want to come, they can come. [laughs]I didn’t have to sign [a contract] to interview, what’s all this [controversy]?:

“I think people are always, unfortunately, looking for the most negative story. There was a memo that went out to ask people if they would sign it that said, don’t get into personal questions, focus on the movie and things like that. But it was not mandatory. I didn’t put it out there. It was from my representatives who were trying to be protective but it was excessive and I wouldn’t have to put it out there.”

Writer hired for Speilberg's Old Boy remake

That lovely man Will Smith who starred in the fantastic I AM LEGEND, and that even lovelier man Steven Spielberg, who is in fact a LEGEND have hired I AM LEGEND co-writer Mark Protosevich to work on the script for their planned collaboration, the remake of the Korean film OLD BOY.

Now, I cannot believe that these two are actually tackling this project (I'm talking about the original film's subject matter, and absolutely shocking ending). I'm just really hoping that they down PG-13 it up. Hard R boys, hard R!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Smith invited Protosevich to meet with Spielberg on the project, which is being looked after by Dreamworks.

The original OLD BOY is described by the trade as revolving around a man's mysterious kidnapping, 15-year imprisonment and feverish quest for revenge upon being released.

50 Cent joins British gangster flick

Curtis Jackson, or in monetary terms 50 Cent, is heading towards British shores to star in Alex de Rakoff's London set gangsta film DEAD MAN RUNNING. The flick started shooting today apparently, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

How about this for a cast? Fiddy is going to be starring alongside East End Danny Dyer, his mate and THE BUSINESS co-star Tamer Hussan (who by the way is a loverly loverly man), Oscar magnet Brenda Blethyn and Monet Mazur, who starred in Rolling Stones film STONED.

The film, according to the trade paper, centers on an ex-con trying to go straight who is given 24 hours to raise 100,000 pounds ($150,000) to pay off Jackson's loan shark or become a "dead man running." The mission takes him from the dog tracks of East London to the underground drug scene of rural Manchester as they try every trick and scam in the book to get the cash before it's too late.

Get this. English soccer stars Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole are acting as executive producers on the film. Not acting. Thank goodness.
