+ After a Tumblr user in Italy questioned a 12 Years a Slave poster featuring Brad Pitt (whose role in the film - despite his producing credit - is minimal), Lionsgate released a statement claiming that the advertisements (another similar one featured Michael Fassbender, who is also a supporting actor) were unauthorized and not approved by the filmmakers.
+ Saving Mr. Banks director John Lee Hancock has been picked to rewrite the Magnificent Seven remake, which Tom Cruise was previously attached to work on. No word yet as to who is set to replace Cruise.
+ In doing promotional rounds for his latest film 47 Ronin, Keanu Reeves ruled out any participation from him in the upcoming Point Break remake.

Bill and Ted Reunion? Excellent!
Remember Alex Winter, the guy who played Bill S. Preston? Former co-star Keanu Reeves (Ted Theodore Logan) does, and that’s good news for a lot of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure fans.
The two were seen on Friday night palling around in Hollywood, and we’re hoping it means a long-awaited sequel is in the works.
The two actors began their Excellent Adventure in 1989. The film instantly gained a cult following and blossomed into a franchise, spawning three TV series, one feature-length sequel and even a stage musical. After the actors followed up with a Bogus Journey in 1991, Keanu Reeves went on to become a major Hollywood player. Alex Winter became “that guy in the Bill & Ted movies ... the one who’s not Keanu Reeves.”
And he may get the chance to be that guy again. Rumor has it that the original scriptwriters are indeed working on a new chapter in the tale, and apparently Keanu and Alex are getting chummy again. TMZ managed to get some video of the big event if you’d like to take a look.
As you might expect, the two actors still look excellent together.
