MONDAY, MAY 2
KILL BIN LADEN---movie underway from THE HURT LOCKER duo of Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal about a failed Black Ops mission to capture Bin Laden. Michael Fassbender (INGLORIOUS BASTERDS) and Joel Edgerton are attached to the movie. A script rewrite may be required due to Bin Laden being killed by Navy SEALs. Paramount Pictures might proceed with its Bin Laden movie based on the book JAWBREAKER about the US attempts to kill Bin Laden in Afghanistan in 2001. Also, there are rumors of a Tom Clancy movie about Jack Ryan and the pursuit of Bin Laden.
THE HOBBIT---Peter Jackson announced that Lee Pace (PUSHING DAISIES) will play Elven King Thranduil, and Dean O'Gorman will play Fili. Hugo Weaving visited Jackson on the set indicating he may return as Elrond.
THE OFFICE---Steve Carell's final appearance on the series drew over 8 million viewers. AMERICAN IDOL won the time slot with 19 million viewers.
DJANGO UNCHAINED---Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti Western is underway with Christoph Waltz (INGLORIOUS BASTERDS) starring. A source said, "The title character Django is a freed slave, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) becomes a badass bounty hunter himself and after assisting Waltz on taking down some bad guys for profit, is in turn assisted by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner. And that doesn't even half begin to cover it! This film deals with racism as I've rarely seen it handled in a Hollywood film. While it's 100 percent pure popcorn and revenge flick, it is pure genius in the way it takes on the evil slave owning south. Think of what he did with the Nazis in INGLORIOUS and you'll get a sense of what he's doing with slave owners and slave overseers in this one. It's violent and funny and full of great Tarantino monologues and shoot outs (and slave rapes and slave tortures) and the center piece of the script is this fantastic relationship between Django and his Obi-Wan Waltz and it all just f*cking works in the way only Tarantino makes it work."
CRY MACHO---Arnold Schwarzenegger said another movie he's considering to star in is this movie based on the novel about a down-on-his-luck horse trainer who is sent to Mexico by a horse owner to return his son who was taken by his wife after she cheated him out of a business.
THE AVENGERS---production was shut down on the Joss Whedon/Marvel superhero movie after an anonymous source offered to sell a copy of the script. Photos confirmed its authenticity and showed it was assigned to Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury). Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johanssen and Jeremy Renner also star.
REPLAY---Robert Zemeckis (FORREST GUMP, BACK TO THE FUTURE) is considering this movie based on the novel about a 43-year-old man, whose life has been a disappointment, who dies and wakes up his freshman year at Emory University with all the memories of his adult years.
MAGIC MIKE---movie underway by Steven Soderbergh starring Channing Tatum and inspired by Tatum's early career as a 19-year-old male stripper in Florida.
CHARLEY PRIDE---untitled biomovie underway starring Dwayne Johnson as the black country music star. Terrence Howard left the project due to schedule problems.

And that, right there, is all I need to know to avoid this movie like the piece of garbage it will be. Seriously, people still think Tarantino is a talented filmmaker? It boggles the mind.
Richard Libertini (SHARKY'S MACHINE)
Is that the guy who played the psychiatrist at the police station at the beginning of Die Hard 3?
I actually thought it might have been when you mentioned it, but I looked and that was a different actor. Libertini is perhaps best known as Chevy Chase's boss in the Fletch movies.
"Fletch, answer your phone."

I know him best for his crazy Central American dictator role in the original "The In-Laws".
Frankly, any movie project devoted to a failed attempt to get Bin Laden should be canceled immediately because the public won't want to see it. The public would want to see the story of the event that lent closure to everything.

Please add me to the list of haters of the U.S. version of The Office, and most especially Friends. I'll never quit hating Friends.

Absolute loved The Office USA version, it's the best by far from the UK version. Those that disagree are wrong, sorry to tell you
