Well brava for attempting to address the gender imbalance, but - Liliana Cavani?

[John Cope]

Well, Cavani certainly is a Great Director and she's long overdue for a proper reappraisal but it is still surprising to see her receive it.

Zoolander 2....

[Napier]

Just what the world needs.

This sounds like cause to go out for some orange mocha frappuccinos! Who wants to ride with me to the gas station to get them?

[Murdoch]

I enjoyed the first one too much to not to be interested in this.

[LQ]

If there was some way to wrangle Mugatu into this one, I'd be first in line. For now though, I'll continue to eye it with a good deal of suspicion.

I'll bring the matches.

I'll bring my mixtape.

Drake Sather won't be around to keep this one in check though

So it looks like Cronenberg's The Talking Cure is a go to start shooting in May with Viggo signing on as Freud (replacing Christoph Waltz, who dropped out).

[Cold Bishop]

I love the Viggo, but boooo... This was Waltz big chance to avoid typecasting.

speaking of Cronenberg.. FOUR of his films have remakes in the works

Videodrome
Shivers
Scanners
The Brood

Videodrome

Apparently, the guy writing the script for this wrote Transformers 2 ](*,) , How does that movie even have a script!?

Just stay away from Crash

[perkizitore]

I hope that this means at least Videodrome will be released on blu!

Wasn't there a rumor going around last year about Cronenberg remaking his remake of The Fly, as well? Am I just making that up? Pipe dreams?--either way, I'd probably have more faith in that ill-conceived project than any of the ones above...

[Matt]

Maybe you're thinking of the widely-panned opera.

[Zumpano]

Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Hit Girl join Scorsese's "The Invention of Hugo Cabret".

[Foam]

Paul Thomas Anderson's next (possible) project, currently being looked at by Universal.

Not anymore.

[J Adams]

Can't wait for the next Jennifer Lynch

[Murdoch]

That looks like a SyFy channel movie.

[mfunk9786]

Paul Thomas Anderson's next (possible) project, currently being looked at by Universal.

Not anymore.

I am willing to guarantee that this is a Scientology issue, and that Anderson may not be able to get any major studio to distribute this film. I just hope he gets the budget he needs and doesn't have to cut corners to make it happen, as his films are always boosted by the level of detail and quality employed in the set design. Oh, and the Renner rumor? Awesome.

[Matt]

I had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1 already:

Tracy Morgan, Juliette Binoche join 'No One' ; Al Pacino, Channing Tatum and Katie Holmes also in cast

Tracy Morgan is taking over for Terrence Howard, who seems to be making a career out of pulling out of roles. Okay, I liked "Astronaut Jones" and "Brian Fellow's Safari Planet" (and "Uncle Jemima's Pure Mash Liquor" is a comedy classic), but Tracy Morgan is not an actor. He can barely play himself on "30 Rock."

[Zot!]

Adam Sandler any better? PTA has a SNL alum fetish that is really obnoxious. I love some of his work, but I wouldn't be suprised if he announced he was working on Coneheads 2.
