Amy Heckerling continues to pick up actors to appear in her new fanged fiend comedy, Vamps. Malcolm McDowell, Marilu Henner and Zak Orth have all signed on.

The plot, for those just joining us, follows two beautiful young female vampires (Alicia Silverstone and She’s Out Of My League’s Krysten Ritter), who are content to enjoy the nightlife of New York and use the single bachelors of the city as their suck toys.

But then trouble rears its head as they fall in love (not with each other, as we understand it. There’s no need to call James Corden), and must decide whether to follow their hearts (is that possible when they don’t technically beat?) and risk the wrath of their senior vamp, played by Sigourney Weaver. The likes of Richard Lewis, Wallace Shawn, Justin Kirk and Kristen Johnston are also on board.

Henner has agreed to play a deathly ill woman who reclaims her former hotness, while Orth will be Renfield, a nerdy follower of Ritter’s character who keeps claiming he’s tougher than he is. And McDowell sounds like he’ll have the most fun, playing Vlad the Impaler, who struts around the city as Vlad Tepish, velvet jogging suit aficionado and knitting fanatic. The comedy stock value of the film just jumped several points…

Despite the fact that both State of Play and Edge of Darkness were largely ignored at the box office, the tide of filmmakers looking at UK miniseries to makeover into movies has not been stemmed. Now Producer Graham King has hired Christopher McQuarrie to write a script based on ITV series Unforgiven for Angelina Jolie.

McQuarrie will be adapting the series, which saw a woman trying to edge her way back into society after 15 years in prison for murdering two police officers. She’s looking for a quiet life with her troubled sister, but runs into problems with the sons of one of the coppers.

As Deadline reports, even with the solid talent at the keyboard, Jolie’s involvement is nowhere near sure yet, since she doesn’t tend to accept any projects without a finished screenplay. But King’s GK Films is apparently trying to develop a working relationship with her, having partnered with the actress on The Tourist. And the fact that the company now has regular collaborations with the likes of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio should help her make her mind up. That, and the fact that McQuarrie did some of the script work on The Tourist…

There’s no easy way to say this without sounding like I hate her, because I really don’t, but I have never been excited about a movie solely because it has Jennifer Aniston in it. At this stage in her career, her film work is about as prolific as her television work, but recently it’s been narrowing away from films like The Good Girl and straight to an overly familiar formula. It’s gotten to the point where you can describe a certain style of movie by saying “Sure, it’s a romantic comedy, but it looks like a Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy,” and that tone is just no good for anyone (unless, of course, you’re a big fan of the string of aggressive, battle-of-the-sexes style romcoms she’s been locked into).

It looks like that’s going to change thanks to Aniston’s next film Wanderlust, co-starring Paul Rudd and produced by Judd Apatow, about a married couple that decide to live in a hippie commune after they can no longer afford to live in NYC.

Sure, it’s not the most jaw-dropping premise, but the fact that it is an Apatow branded comedy should be a good enough sign that Wanderlust will be a bit raunchier than her usual films. If his track record isn’t enough of an indicator, though, Hollywoodlife.com have read the script and are eager to report back on some of the juicier bits. As it stands right now, life on the free-spirited commune is going to call for Aniston to do more than just smoke pot (though naturally that is in there): Her character is also going to have a lesbian three-way after she rips off her top in order to stun a bunch of bulldozers primed to tear down a forest to build a new Wal-mart.

So… yeah… not exactly the standard-issue “men suck” romcom she’s been known for over the last few years. That said, I wouldn’t exactly hold my breath for any of that content to be particularly shocking when it’s in the final film. The great Ken Marino and David Wain (who is also directing) can write in all the nudity and sex they want, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be up there on screen. The camera will no doubt hide whatever its cast is not comfortable with showing, so I wouldn’t take any of this as a guarantee that you’re going to see Aniston’s private parts, but it is nice to think about.

And no, I’m not talking about Aniston naked. I’m talking about the idea that Aniston is finally taking on roles that are a bit edgier than what she’s known for. I could not care less whether any of it is shown, I’m just excited that that this doesn’t sound like anotherBreak-Up, Bounty Hunter, or Switch. ]]> http://bnwnewswire.com/jennifer-aniston-goes-topless-smokes-pot-and-has-orgies-in-new-apatow-film/feed/ 0 http://bnwnewswire.com/karate-kid-sequel-gets-new-writers/ http://bnwnewswire.com/karate-kid-sequel-gets-new-writers/#comments Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:27:29 +0000 joediv http://bnwnewswire.com/?p=372 And they’re from Kung Fu Panda

Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff, the guys behind the script for Kung Fu Panda, the original version of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood (back when it was still called Nottingham) and TV’s Sleeper Cell, are set to write The Karate Kid sequel. So basically it’ll be just like Kung-Fu Panda, only with fewer animals and fewer jokes. OK, so the only way in which it’s likely to resemble that animation is in using the same martial art, but it’s very early in the morning.

There’s no word yet on where the sequel will be set, or whether it will change location as did the original Karate Kid 2 (wherein Daniel-San travelled to Okinawa to visit Mr Miyagi’s ancestral home), but we do know that the result is tentatively pencilled in for 2013.

This most recent Karate Kid cost about $40m to make and made nearly $300m, so one thing’s for sure: don’t expect to stop waxing on and waxing off anytime soon.

And a planned ANZAC project

Oh Peter Jackson, how you tease. The New Zealand director has promised that he will have certainty about whether The Hobbit is going ahead “sometime soon” in an interview with New Zealand’s Dominion Post. Yes, he’s still optimistic that the legal knots can be combed out, saying that Warners was “making progress untangling the MGM situation”, which can only be a good thing.

But that’s not all he’s planning: it sounds like his long hinted-at ANZAC project may be the next project on his plate. A huge fan of Gallipoli, Peter Weir’s 1980s take on the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who fought in the Mediterranean in World War I, Jackson hopes to get his own take on the story of the disastrous Dardenelles campaign off the ground.

Jackson already directed a World War I short film in 2007 called Crossing The Line, presumably just to get a feel for trench warfare and the rest, but it appears that he’s hoping to get an ANZAC movie going in time for the centenary of the campaign in 2015. That means he’ll have to try to fit that in around a second planned Tintin movie, following the first in 2011, and The Hobbit if that comes together quickly. Annoyingly, it looks like Temeraire’s still on the back burner, which is bad news for fans of Napoleon and dragons.

This kind of attire is different with popular definition on style. You will find them ill-fitting with the vogue mainstream so many people chase. However, anyway, cosplay costumes really bring people something interesting and different today. People love to put on these funny clothes for an anime reality show. They take different roles on that event. Anything frustrating is put aside. They only enjoy the fun to the fullest. To make an amazing cosplay appearance, you will also need a cosplay wig. With this, you free yourself from the troublesome and time-consuming process of cutting or dying your hair. Then, excellent places to buy cosplay costumes and cosplay wigs are mostly discovered online. Now, make full use of the Internet and get an ideal costume for the coming show.

Jealous much? Lindsay Lohan is seen here draped in glitz and glam while reportedly sitting front row at Roberto Cavalli’s fashion show in Milan Fashion Week. But this isn’t even the best picture of this event, as after the show she was then seen drapped all over Cavalli himself. Must be nice. And when you have that kind of lifestyle, I guess it really doesn’t matter WHO you are dating, when you clearly have some strings in the world of fabulosity. But this time the rumors that she has gone back to boys may actually be true. Tho Lindsay Lohan says she’s not dating Gareth Geno, a British DJ, all signs seem to be saying otherwise. But then, she also says he’s so cute she’s going to have to move to London. So maybe she’s lying, or maybe the media is lying, or maybe her long-lost twin from The Parent Trap has returned to spread some rumors. The Mirror saw her hanging out with Gareth at Sketch nightclub in London on Wednesday. She was doing a guest DJ stint, and he was helping her. But the club was more interested in what they were seeing than what they were hearing. Lindsay and Gareth were holding hands and he was feeding her chips, the Mirror reports. “Dance!” she yelled to the crowd at one point. “I feel like I’m in a f–king zoo.” Apparently all that work (that work being getting looked at) was too much to bear. She made an early exit, but not before dropping a cute “see you later, baby” on her new DJ arm candy. He joined her later at the snooty club Bungalow 8, where the Mirror overheard her saying, “I have to move to London. He’s so cute.” When grilled by Gossip Cop on the man cute enough for her to quit her life in L.A., she denied everything. “Nooo I am not [dating him],” she said. “He’s a friend, geez.” Lindsay might not want to douse this rumour so fast. Samantha Ronson made a killing off DJ-ing events while she was dating Lindsay, because the presumption was that they’d come together. They should just team up as a couple, DJ a bunch of events, and split the profits. It would be so fauxmantic! And maybe THEN Samantha will believe that Lindsay really meant it all that time she said she was going to go back to boys.
