Who Should Play Marc Antony to Angelina Jolie's Cleopatra?
5 hours ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
It's official: Angelina Jolie has signed to star as Egypt's beloved Queen Cleopatra. So, the question is: Who will be her Marc Antony? Keep in mind that unlike the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor version, the forthcoming Scott Rudin production will focus less on Cleopatra's seductive powers in the bedroom and more on her shrewd appetite for business and politics. So who should fill Marc Antony's gladiator sandals? We've got a few good men in mind. For starters, there's Brad Pitt. The Troy actor and Jolie's real-life love is no stranger to period pieces or playing tough - think The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford »

Warners Rebooting Batman Again?
20 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Despite the setbacks it faced the last time Warner Bros. tried to gather its DC Comics-based heroes together to form the Justice League, that isn’t putting the studio off from moving ahead with the plan, according to executive Jeff Robinov, who revealed that they’re looking to reboot Batman again. Yes, it would seem that once Chris Nolan and company are finished in the their more realistic Bat-universe with The Dark Knight Rises, we’re going to be looking at Batman Begins… Again.“We have the third Batman, but then we’ll have to reinvent Batman,” Robinov tells the La Times. “Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas will be producing it, so it will be a conversation with them about what the next phase is.”The mention of Nolan and his regular producing partner/wife being involved makes us think it’ll hopefully maintain the high standards that the »

Jackie Chan is doing just fine, thank you very much. The Hong Kong action legend is dispelling an Internet-fueled rumor that, after years thrilling audiences with amazing martial arts feats and death-defying stunts, he had succumbed to a bum ticker at the age of 56. "Jackie Chan is alive and well," reads a note posted on Chan's Facebook page. "He did not suffer a heart attack and die, as was reported on many social networking sites and in online news reports." At least it wasn't a snowboarding accident in Switzerland as supposedly befell a number of his big-screen brethren. The statement added that the Rush Hour star "is fine and is busy preparing for the filming his »
Hugh Jackman: 'The Wolverine' knocked back, but not dead -- Exclusive
29 March 2011 12:59 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
When Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky backed out of The Wolverine a little over a week ago, it left the promising comic book drama in the lurch.
Part of the anticipation for the film, in which Hugh Jackman’s X-Men character ventures to Japan and encounters a legion of samurai warriors, was having the provocative tendencies of Aronofsky channeled into a commercial action-adventure movie. Jackman himself has been bulking up, gorging on protein and working out to build muscle, in anticipation of the project’s start. Then Aronofsky said he could no longer commit to the project because the Japan »

Colin Firth On Gambit
27 minutes ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Colin Firth: Oscar winner, national treasure and quite possibly the world's most beloved man. When The King's Speech turned up at the Jameson Empire Awards the other night to collect yet another accolade, we took the opportunity to ask him about his next film, the Coen Brothers-scripted, Michael Hoffman-directed Gambit. Here's what he had to say."It's out there, it's a farce, it's a caper movie, it's not a romantic comedy. And it's rare to read things that make you laugh. I need to do something that does...I think it's a highly intelligently crafted piece. It's been called a remake - I don't quite understand why it's been styled as a remake. The original Gambit was a lot of fun, but really this doesn't resemble it. If you were to change the names of the characters I think you could get away with calling it [original]." brightcove.createExperiences »
Jon Favreau shares 40 minutes of 'Cowboys & Aliens' in edit bay visit
30 minutes ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
"Cowboys and Aliens." There is a bluntness to that title which should help it cut through the noise that surrounds the summer season, or at least that's the gamble that Universal's making. This film has been in development longer than I've been working as an online writer, but in different forms. It took a long time before they finally clicked into the creative team that finally took it from "title in search of an idea" to the film we'll finally see onscreen this year. And this is a case of a title that existed before a story. The comic book was »
Justified Spoiler Alert: Something Really Big Is About to Go Down in Harlan County
46 minutes ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
It’s a good time to be a Justified fan. Not only has the FX drama just been renewed for a third season, but its second is currently firing on all cylinders. In fact, I’ve seen the next two episodes (Wednesdays 10/9c), and I can tell you it only gets better. As I teased in Ask Ausiello, covering up his ex’s get-rich-quick scheme takes a psychological toll on our swaggertastic hero and throws him off his game. How far off his game? Let’s ask exec producer Graham Yost, who’s here to discuss this week’s episode, »

First Look at Wonder Woman in Action in Retooled Costume—Is It Any Better?
56 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online - Movies and Television news »
If Adrianne Palicki used the lasso of truth on us, we'd have to admit that the first photo of her in the Wonder Woman costume left a lot to be desired. It just wasn't what we had in mind for our new TV superhero. Now we have new pics and video and this time Palicki's not just standing there posing. Oh, no. She's in full Wonder Woman mode! Filming on the dark and mean streets of Hollywood last night, our hero is chasing...something. Or she's running from something. Either way, she's springing into action while stuffed into her Wonder Woman outfit. And speaking of that red-and-blue ensemble, we've spotted changes since the first photo was released... Apparently the powers that be »

According to the official CBS fan community forum for the show, Silverman "will play the smart, funny owner of a sexually-explicit website, devoted »

Studio and ticket sales executives talked up the potential of Twitter and Facebook to fill theaters during a CinemaCon panel on the power of social marketing. But the big take-away from the session was the dwindling power of print media. All the more reason, Paramount VP of Interactive Media Amy Powell and Fandango Chief Marketing Officer Ted Hong said, for exhibitors to better exploit the Internet. "The opportunity is there for real time communication," Flixster Co-Founder and CEO Joe Greenstein told the audience. "There's got to be a way we can drive really meaningful 20 »

1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online - Movies and Television news »
Ripped from the headlines—the seemingly millions of them—comes the Charlie Sheen story. No, it's not an afterschool special warning of the perils of drugs and porn stars, it's the actor's real-life hijincks being hijacked for Law & Order: Criminal Intent. And then there's Drew Carey... First, let's go over the details of Criminal Intent. The upcoming eipsode of the show, now in its 10th and final season, will feature a thinly veiled Sheen-esque character. The fictionalized Charlie will, instead of being an actor, be a rock-star fashion designer who is wildly unraveling in public.

New 'Superman' star Amy Adams stays hush-hush on Lois Lane

By now, everyone knows: Amy Adams will be the new Lois Lane. “How about that?” the flame-haired actress said, pursing her lips and shrugging.
She was backstage at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas alongside Jason Segel, her co-star in The Muppets, after doing a presentation on that November comedy. She sealed the deal on playing Superman’s leading lady just days before. “How cool is that!” Segel declared, but Adams was mum even to him.
“It’s pretty cool,” she said. “I’m stoked.” She widened her eyes. The multiple Oscar-nominee looked a little daunted. Or perhaps just guarded. »

CBS And Fox Each Claim #1 Finishes
1 hour ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
CBS and Fox split ratings honors last week, with CBS leading among total adults and Fox among viewers 18-49. But ABC also claimed boasting rights as its Monday-night edition of Dancing with the Stars turned out to be the the highest-rated show of the week. In a ratings anomaly, however, it was not the most-watched show — that honor went to Wednesday night’s American Idol, which drew 23.95 million viewers versus 22.66 million for Monday’s Dancing. The explanation for the apparent discrepancy is that ratings are based on the percentage of total viewers tuning in — and there were more viewers watching TV on Wednesday than there were on Monday, thereby allowing Dancing to post higher ratings with fewer viewers. Among the nightly newscasts, NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams averaged 9.17 million viewers (more viewers than for any NBC primetime program last week). ABC World News with Diane Sawyer placed second with 8.34 million. »

News Corp Ups James Murdoch — More Nepotism?
1 hour ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
Less than two weeks after News Corp’s board of directors was hit with a shareholders lawsuit accusing its chairman, Rupert Murdoch, of “larding the executive ranks of the company with his offspring,” the company announced today (Wednesday) that it had named Murdoch’s son James to the newly created post of deputy chief operating officer and international CEO. The shareholders lawsuit, filed by the Amalgamated Bank of New York and the Central Laborers Pension Fund of Illinois, came in response to a deal in which News Corp agreed to pay $675 million for daughter Elisabeth Murdoch’s Shine Group and give her a seat on the board. James Murdoch, who has run Britain’s BSkyB satellite television service, will relocate to New York, where he is expected to focus his attention on expanding News Corp’s operations abroad. In a statement today, he said, “Around the world, the company’s »

BBC’S Websites Crash

The BBC’s entire network of websites went offline for nearly an hour last night, Britain’s Press Association wire service said today (Wednesday). Shortly before midnight, Steve Herrmann, editor of the BBC News website, posted a message on Twitter saying, “We are having technical problems … They are being looked into urgently. Apologies.” When the sites became active again, he posted this message: “It’s not often we get a message from the BBC’s technical support teams saying, ‘Total outage of all BBC websites.’ But for getting on for an hour this evening, until just before midnight, that’s what happened. We haven’t yet had a full technical debrief, but it’s clear it was a major network problem. We’d like to apologize to everyone who couldn’t get onto the BBC News website during that time.” Pa noted that in January the BBC announced plans to »

U.K. Police Official Rapped For Lunching With Tabloid Editor
1 hour ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
Former U.K. Labor minister Chris Bryant, who has claimed that his voicemails were hacked by Rupert Murdoch’s London tabloid News of the World, faced down Scotland Yard’s acting deputy commissioner John Yates during a Parliamentary inquiry on Tuesday, chastising Yates for lunching with the paper’s former deputy editor, Neil Wallace in February shortly after the Yard said that it would reopen its investigation of alleged voicemail hacking by the NoW. Bryant, who is suing the tabloid, told Yates that such a meeting would likely give rise to the perception that the Yard was in collusion with the newspaper. Bryant had previously charged that the police agency had failed to follow evidence indicating that hundreds — perhaps thousands — of voicemails of celebrities and politicians had been hacked by the newspaper. “The Met police have not helped themselves by having regular meals with senior executives at the News of the World, »
