James Franco to Play Hugh Hefner?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Biopics, Drama, Period, Casting, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases
James Franco is in negotiations to play Hugh Hefner in Lovelace.
The 127 Hours actor may portray the Playboy magazine founder in the movie starring Amanda Seyfried as Linda Lovelace - best known for her starring role in porn movie Deep Throat - after passing on the opportunity to play her husband Chuck Traynor.
The role would be a cameo and only require one day of shooting, but talks have not yet been completed to find a date suitable for him, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A heavy-hitting cast including Sharon Stone, Peter Sarsgaard, Chris Noth and Juno Temple are already signed on to star.
Production on the project is already underway, with shooting in Los Angeles beginning last week. Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman are directing the picture.
James - who earlier this year put in a turn as presenter when he hosted the Academy Awards with Anne Hathaway - has a number of movies coming up, including Wizard of Oz prequel Oz: The Great and Powerful and Spring Breakers.

Chris Noth: Sex and the City Movies are Over
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Rumors
Given Sex and the City 2’s dismal opening weekend and horrible reviews, this announcement should come as no surprise: there will be no more sequels. At least, not according to Chris Noth.
“It’s over. The franchise is dead. The press killed it. Your magazine f**king killed it,” the
actor declared recently to New York Magazine.
“It’s like all the critics got together and said, ‘This franchise must die.’ Because they all had the exact same review. It’s like they didn’t see the movie,” Noth, who played Mr. Big in the series, added.
So what do you think of Noth’s comments? Are you glad SATC is finally being put to rest—or are you holding out hope for another round?

Director Yells Cut on Sex and the City Rumors
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Upcoming Releases
The Internet has been aflame since the telltale slip was released that a Sex and the City character will be offed in the upcoming motion picture. Many have speculated on just who will find a horrible fate with the franchise, but are any of them right?
Carrie’s black hair, leading trailers and general paranoia have led to one convincing rumor that it will, in fact, be Mr. Big who perishes in the film.
Director Michael Patrick King, who also supplies the commentaries for the DVDs, put an end to those rumors in recent statements to the press. “Kill Mr. Big?” King asked rhetorically. “I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches.” And that’s not even the half of it.
But with that statement, the director closed the door on all the current Sex speculation about actor Chris Noth‘s character. If Mr. Big won’t die…then, who will? “It’s a summer movie,” King told reporters. “Why would I want to kill anyone?” Could it be that the biggest Sex and the City slip of the season wasn’t even reality?
Three-Stop Premiere for SATC Movie
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Comedy, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
The much-anticipated Sex and the City movie will make its first premiere on May 12 in London’s Leichester Square. May 15 will see the flick in Berlin for another premiere. Then, after all the Sexy secrets are spilled, it will finally make its way home to New York for a premiere party on known territory (May 27).
Sex movie talk centers around the mysterious death, a plot point “leaked” by Cynthia Nixon in a recent interview. Other possible plot points have been bantered around by entertainment shows. I’ve seen the clips, and Cynthia Nixon looks great in the movie. But who’s destined to leave the franchise for ever? Let’s look at the possible candidates.

SATC Scoop: Set Secret Spills
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases
The May 12 premiere of the Sex and the City movie is still up in air, though it is said the film will certainly not make its debut at Cannes. Right now, insiders are hinting toward London, though it’s still not altogether impossible the movie will premiere in New York. The press junket is scheduled to begin in New York May 2, and rumor suggests Sex may premiere in London and New York.
As to the soundtrack, current gossip says that Fergie and Jennifer Hudson (who will play Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in the film) will both record new tunes. But the real Sex scoop was released by Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a. Miranda Hobbs. This certain redhead let it slip on April 15 that “a character dies in the movie.” Enter panic mode now.

New Sex and the City Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Drama, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Finally - a more substantive glance at the upcoming Sex and the City Movie!
While I will undoubtedly watch the release, I must say the newest trailer gives the film a much darker tone than I would have liked to see. (You can view it for yourself, after the jump.) Is it because the show is best served on the small screen? Should the series only be viewed in 30-minute snippets? Is the teaser simply a bad representation? (Oh, I hope so.)
Regardless, the clip does give us a few juicy tidbits:
- Apparently Mr. Big’s (full) name is John James Preston. (I think I like him better when he’s not an actual person.)
- It looks like Steve may have cheated on Miranda. (The Steve I know would never do something like that.)
- Commitment-phobe Samantha may be wandering from Smith Jerrod.
- Charlotte is indeed pregant. (She adopted that kid for nothing.)
- And last but not least, Carrie’s planned wedding to Big falls apart?
Be looking for SATC to hit theaters this May 30.

‘Sex and the City’ Trailer
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Comedy, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
The Sex and the City movie trailer has finally arrived, and it’s just as promising and exciting as fans could want. It begins with a voice-over and a wide, sweeping view of Manhattan, then quickly falls into an image free-for-all while the theme music blares invitingly. Quick screenshots flash past, showing images inside Carrie’s apartment, the four girls walking together, and a photo shoot where Carrie sports the much-touted wedding dress. As the music ends, the final scene shows a steamy kiss between Carrie and Mr. Big. All of it leads up to the promise that the movie will debut May of 2008.

‘Sex and the City’ Movie Books Big Guest Star
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Romance, Comedy, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases
Little by little, news on the upcoming Sex and the City movie has made its way into the press. The latest rumor mill suggests that not only will the much-anticipated flick contain Mr. Big (Chris Noth), but a truly big guest star as well.
New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg, will play himself in the movie, which is set primarily in Manhattan. The mayor will appear at Bryant Park in Manhattan for a night scene, but the mayor’s camp isn’t releasing any more details than that. Filming on the movie began in September, and recent shots from the set show that at least some part of the movie will take place in winter. Former NYC mayor Ed Koch made an appearance on the HBO TV series Sex and the City during his New York reign.
