It is time once again for a large (perhaps too large) helping of movie news! Stay tuned dear readers as I fill you in on the insanity that is… The Hollywood Hive-Mind!

Megan Fox Stuff

First off (and most importantly) is Megan Fox News. The latest rumor involving Miss Fox is that her name is being “thrown around” for the part of Buffy in the new remake. But according to Roy Lee (the film’s producer): “As with any film project with a female lead under the age of 30, Megan is the actress that most studios want, so it is no surprise her name is mentioned. While I think she would be great for our project, we are still in the early stages of developing the script.” So yes, basically Megan’s name is being “thrown around” for every part ever. And I can’t say as I disagree with this logic.

Also before any Whedonites go crazy about how Joss isn’t involved, I hope you have also heard that he was offered the project and refused– which is probably smart, because we don’t need any more Buffy anything.

In slightly more sad news (but really, we should have seen it coming) it has been discovered that Megan Fox is indeed too perfect. Check this out.

Also, she totally goes topless in Jennifer’s Body.

Moving on!

You guys have seen the trailer for “9″ right? The movie with the gimmickiest release date ever? Well just in case you haven’t, I’ll embed it below. Anyway, I think this movie looks pretty awesome, and they just released the poster, which I would gladly hang on my wall–providing the movie doesn’t totally suck.

And the trailer:

Some Remake news that actually doesn’t suck!

Apparently Fox (not Megan) has said that they will not greenlight the new Alien movie unless Ridley Scott will direct it. What? Fox!? Good decision!? I’m confused. I think I need to go lie down. But seriously, if it’s going to happen anyway, it damned well better be Scott (not Tony) at the helm.

Shutter Island

New Scorsese Trailer - WATCH NOW!

Scorsese, DiCaprio, Kingsley, Rorschach, scariness! ROCK!

Secretariat

Diane Lane is starring in a new Disney movie about horses– or a horse; Secretariat to be specific. Lane will play the part of Penny Chenery, Secretariat’s owner and they will… be friends I guess. I don’t know. But here is a picture of Diane Lane! ———>

Abrams and MI: 4

Tom Cruise has requested that J.J. produce MI:4, which Abrams has agreed to, but there is no word on whether he will be directing or not. J.J. says “I am incredibly honored that Tom has invited me back as a producer on Mission Impossible 4. Tom and I have come up with a really cool idea we are pursuing.” Really cool ideas? Huzzah!

Ed Helms & The Hangover

Were you wondering how they made Ed Helm’s missing tooth look so real in the Hangover? Yeah, me neither. I just figure everything is CG anymore. But apparently Helms has had an implant for 20 years, so here’s what he decided to do: “When the part came up we actually tried a few alternatives, like blacking it out and using a prosthetic device, which made me look like a horse… Then I just called my dentist and I took it out for three months.” Hardcore!

Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds is still making promises about the Deadpool Movie, but all I can say is, we’ll see Reynolds, we’ll see…

He says: “I’m such a huge fan of the character. [...] I get to be the authentication police, in a weird way. To their credit — the studio’s credit — they want to make an authentic Deadpool movie; they want to make it as close to the source material as possible.” and “He’s going to be the Merc with the Mouth, [we’re going to give] all those answers that everyone wants. He’s going to have the scarred-up face, he’s going to be in the suit — and, it’s going to be incredible.”

Peter Jackson goes all Cameron on us

Peter Jackson has jumped on the “I’m not making anything NOT in 3D ever again!” train that James Cameron is the conductor of. So does that mean he’s never going to make another movie again, kind of like how James Cameron hasn’t made a movie since he said he wouldn’t make non-3D movies anymore. I wonder if he decided he didn’t actually like 3D, and now he can’t make anything at all due to his sense of pride. Anyway, 3D hurray!

The Runaways

Kristen Stewart is set to play Joan Jett in The Runaways; which is of course a movie about Joan Jett and her love of Rock and Roll. Jezebel caught the first glimpse of Kristen sporting her Joan Jett hair, and personally I think she’s going to make a really cool Joan.

Indy 5

They are working toward making an Indiana Jones 5. Apparently Spielberg is writing it as you read this. Yeah, that’s about all I have to say about Indiana Jones 5; except “fuuuuuuuck.”

The Time Traveler’s Wife Poster

The poster for The Time Traveler’s Wife has been released, and here it is! The movie stars Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. Bana’s character has a genetic disorder that causes him to randomly jump through time. McAdams is of course the love interest, and they try to make the relationship work even though Bana’s character never knows when he will be transported to a different time. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again; I will watch any movie about time travel. Coincidentally, I will also watch any movie with Rachel McAdams.

That’s all for today! Be sure to check back for more lunacy sometime next week.
