Weekend Sweep
The Boogeyman burst out of the closet and out from under the bed to nab first place at the box office over the weekend. The Wedding Date was a distant second, nipping past Are We There Yet in third. Hide and Seek and Million Dollar Baby round out the top five.
James Bond will be going old school when it takes on its first Ian Fleming title in many years--Casino Royale. Casion Royale was actually the first of the James Bond novels penned by Flemming. There was a spoof entitled Casino Royale starring David Niven, Woody Allen, and Peter Sellers but MGM has bought back the rights to the title. Martin Campbell, who directed Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye, is now slated to direct. Still no word on who the next Bond will be but rumor is that Clive Owen has the inside track.
Here's an interesting article from Reuters that claims Marlon Brando almost refused an offer he couldn't refuse. How different the world would be if he hadn't taken the part! There are also plans to use Brando's voice in a video game version of The Godfather.
Burnt Orange Productions has wrapped filming on its first feature. The production company works in conjunction with The University of Texas at Austin and uses students to work on crucial aspects of production. The film has been retitled The Quiet and stars Elisha Cuthbert (The Girl Next Door, 24) and Shawn Ashmore (X-Men and X2).
The SAG Awards were held this past weekend. Jamie Foxx won Best Actor, Hilary Swank took Best Actress, Morgan Freeman and Cate Blanchett were honored for supporting roles, James Garner received a lifetime achievement award, and the cast of Sideways (Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, Virginia Madsen, and Sandra Oh) claimed the prize for Best Ensemble.
The genius behind Shaun of the Dead, Edgar Wright, is in negotiations for his next feature film.
In casting news Jacinda Barrett will replace Rachel McAdams in The Last Kiss, co-starring Zach Braff, and Sam Huntington will join the cast of Superman as Jimmy Olsen.
This interview with former Permian quarterback Mike Winchell found its way to My Yahoo a few days ago.
Call me simple, but I just didn't figure the ending of Million Dollar Baby would be considered so controversial. In part, because it made perfect sense to me, but if you haven't seen the movie never fear. I'll not spoil it for you here. But in case your interested in reading about all about the brouhaha, just click here. I say, go see the movie and make up your own mind.
Finally, one of the better interviews I've ever read of my favorite actress--Kate Beckinsale. Ain't she just gorgeous?
