Vince Vaughn Finds Work After Rejection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Scripts,
Vince Vaughn started writing scripts to get acting work.
The Couples Retreat actor says he is grateful for the number of rejections he has received throughout his career as it wouldn’t have made him consider writing screenplays as well as starring in front of camera. He said:
“It something that I’ve done forever uncredited. Even on Return to Paradise, I wrote a lot of the stuff in that. I’ve never taken credit. It was just my approach. “I remember a moment in time, when I was talking to [Jon] Favreau, and I said, ‘Man, I’m so tired of sitting around and waiting for parts to come. No one’s hiring me, but there’s no material.’ I was waiting for material that I would do. I couldn’t get hired for anything. I was just an out-of-work actor. ‘I said, ‘We should really write stuff,’ and then he wrote Swingers, and we got to improvise and do stuff. I really got my wings, in that moment, and took it upon myself. Sometimes rejection in an area, at the time, can seem hard, but it can actually be a gift because it forces you to get better at things that you weren’t initially considering doing.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Drama, Romance, Celeb News, Scripts,
It looks as if Miley Cyrus is one step closer to finally leaving her Hannah Montana alter ego behind her.
Recently, the pop star hinted that her Disney show could soon be nearing an end. This is probably why the studio has moved on to Phase 2 of their commodity’s career: Put Miley In More Adult Fare.
After hearing that Cyrus was interested in appearing in film’s like A Walk to Remember (starring former bubble gum princess Mandy Moore), execs contacted the story’s creator. Realizing a golden opportunity when he saw one, author Nicholas Sparks not only agreed to work with Miley, he decided to write a screenplay specifically for her.

MTV Seeks Rocky Horror Remake

Yes, you unfortunately read that title correctly: MTV is seriously planning to remake the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
While I cannot deny how popular musicals have become (i.e. Mamma Mia!, High School Musical, Hairspray), are there not already tons of other musicals to tamper with other than this one? Can producers possibly more cold-hearted than I thought?
On the upside (yes, there’s actually an upside) to this, the executive producer of the original, Lou Adler, is attached to the project, along with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios. They also plan on using the original screenplay (thankfully!); however, they may incorporate songs not included in the original (what?).

Justin Theroux to Pen Iron Man 2
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Filmmaking, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Marvel Studios is just about to place its highly-anticipated sequel in the hands of a relative newcomer. At least a newcomer to writing, that is.
Although he’s probably better known for his dark roles (Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle) and fare (Mulholland Drive, Six Feet Under), the past year has been one of creative change for Justin Theroux. In 2007, the actor directed his first movie, Dedication, starring Billy Crudup and Mandy Moore. And for next month’s Tropic Thunder, Justin’s name will be listed in the writing, producing and acting categories.
Now he’s being asked to write Iron Man 2.
Strong early screenings of the Ben Stiller comedy reportedly brought Theroux to the negotiating table with Marvel. Meanwhile, the studio is still working on sealing deals with Robert Downey Jr. (also in Tropic) and director Jon Favreau.
If all goes as planned, Iron Man 2 should hit theaters on April 30, 2010.
