Michael Keaton Up for ‘Beetlejuice’ Sequel
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Warner Bros, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
It looks as though we might be a little closer to a decent Beetlejuice sequel.
While doing the press rounds for his latest film RoboCop, Michael Keaton admitted that he is interested in reprising his role for the 1988 cult hit:
"I've e-mailed [directpr] Tim [Burton] a couple of times, talked to the writer a couple of times, but all really, really preliminary stuff... I always said that's the one thing I'd like to do again, if I ever did anything again. But it kind of required Tim to be involved in some way or another. Now it looks like [Burton] is involved... And without giving too much away, we've talked to each other, and e-mailed each other, and if he's in, it's going to be hard not to be in."
If Keaton is a go and Burton is a go, what's the hold up?

Shia LaBeouf Wanted a Penis Cam for ‘Nymphomaniac’

Shia LaBeouf wanted to wear a penis cam for Nymphomaniac.
The 27-year-old actor - who plays Jerome in the risque drama about a woman's erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 - asked director Lars Von Trier if he could put a filming device on his manhood while shooting the sex scenes to give viewers the "full experience."
"Shia had wanted Von Trier to put a camera on his penis while filming, so that audiences could have the full experience," a source told The New York Post.
However, the cheeky close-up would have been too much for the audience and his co-stars, so the idea was scrapped.
Meanwhile, it is believed the star's recent antics - including showing up to the film's premiere wearing a paper bag over his head and pulling his own tooth out to get into his role for Fury - could be costing him potential parts in upcoming movies. However, insiders insist his erratic behaviour is all part of a "performance art" hoax. "Everyone who knows Shia is in on the joke. It's all part of an act," the source said.
Shia LaBeouf Wears Brown Paper Bag to ‘Nymphomaniac’ Premiere

Shia LaBeouf wore a brown paper bag over his head to the German premiere of his new movie.
The 27-year-old actor, who announced he was retiring from "all public life" last month, refused to show his face at a red carpet screening of Nymphomaniac in Berlin on Sunday night. He cut two eye holes into the bag and wrote the words "I'm Not Famous Anymore" in black capital letters on it before placing it over his head and attending the event in a dapper tuxedo, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
The Transformers star was clearly eager to make a statement just an hour after storming out of a press conference for the movie. When asked if it was uncomfortable filming sex scenes for the movie, Shia let his co-star Stacy Martin answer first. After hesitating for a moment, the dishevelled-looking star, who was missing a bottom tooth, then quoted retired French soccer player Eric Cantona's famous words to answer unwanted media attention: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much."
He then walked off stage much to the amusement of Stacy.

Grace of Monaco to Open Cannes Film Festival
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Biopics, Drama, Period, Distribution, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Grace of Monaco will open this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Olivier Dahan's biopic, which stars Nicole Kidman as the iconic Hollywood actress-turned-princess, is set to make its grand debut on May 14 during the prestigious film festival in the south of France, although it will appear out of the competition.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news amidst rumors the movie might never see the big screen after it was pulled from the official US release schedule on Thursday. The film's original November release was delayed because it was said not to be ready for viewing, and it was then pushed back to March 14.
Dahan previously admitted he disagreed with Harvey Weinstein over the film's final edit, which was thought to be the reason behind the delay. "What's complicated at the moment is ensuring that you, the critics, can review my version of the film and not that of somebody else. It's not over yet. I haven't given up," he said.

Kurt Russell: ‘Fast and Furious 7’ Ending Has Changed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Relativity, Universal, Action, Sequels, Thrillers, Celebrity Gossip, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Kurt Russell says the whole ending of Fast and Furious 7 is being changed in the wake of Paul Walker's death.
The film franchise's star was killed in a horrific accident on November 30 when the car Paul was traveling in careered off the road and smashed, which has led to his final film - which was incomplete at the time - being significantly altered.
"They're having to rewrite, they're having to do whatever they're having to do to deal with the situation. Listen, it's catastrophic. It's the worst thing that could happen to a movie, but it's not as bad as what happened to Paul. So everything is in perspective. He was a terrific guy. And life is full of curveballs," Kurt - who is joining the franchise playing a father figure to Vin Diesel's character - told ETonline.com.
The 62-year-old star added the fate of his own character may now change in the new ending. "Whether or not this guy dies off in the movie, we don't know, and that may have changed now significantly, too," he added.

Uma Thurman Needs a Job
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrity Gossip,
Calling all casting directors (and Quentin Tarantino): Uma Thurman is looking to be cast in your next project. Or at least, that's what the Oscar-nominated actress reiterated several times while she was likely a little inebriated at the Golden Globes after party on Sunday night.
According to The New York TImes, the 43-year-old was happy to respond to reporters' questions, but she did so with the same answer:
"Ms. Thurman grudgingly vamped for the cameras, then barked over her shoulder before dashing away, 'You’re a reporter — I need a job.' What was she wearing? 'I need a job.' Where was she headed? 'I need a job.'"
Clearly her stint on Smash in 2012 and her upcoming Lars Von Trier project, Nymphomaniac, aren't paying her bills these days.

Sylvester Stallone: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis Have Big Egos
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Celebrity Gossip,
Sylvester Stallone can't spend too much time with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis because of they all have big egos.
The actor says when he and his fellow action movie veterans meet up, they quickly realize their hectic schedules aren't the sole reason why their reunions are so rare:
"People think Arnie and Bruce and me hang out all the time but because of our work projects we may not talk for a year. Then, all of a sudden, we get together and realize there is a reason we don't get together; too many egos in the room! So we say, 'See you in a year, have to go regroup.'"
Although the blockbuster trio might not train together as much as people may expect, Sylvester admitted he has had to teach himself how to "work out economically" to get in the best shape for his film roles. "Over the past 30 years I've learned how to work out economically. I would use the home gym and I would focus on what I call the movie body parts; instead of doing the whole body I would focus on what the cameras needed. No one cares what your ankles look like, right?" he admitted.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Biopics, Drama, Music, Casting, Celeb News, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Although a Whitney Houston biopic may not be in the works for awhile, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues star Meagan Good is throwing her hat into the ring of actresses who could possibly fill the iconic Houston's role.
When asked recently if she would like to portray Houston in a film version of her life, Good answered, "Absolutely," and said that it would be "a blessing," but also admitted, "I don't know if the story is happening." The 32-year-old - who is not particularly known for her own vocals - also added, "Yeah because it's not about singing like her. You'd have to use her voice, you'd have to use her essence."
