BREAKING BAD---spoiler alert (see below).
THE HUNGER GAMES---Lionsgate announced the third book will be split into two movies with their premier dates: THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 (November, 21, 2014) and THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2 (November, 20, 2015).
PETER O'TOOLE---O'Toole (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, THE LION IN WINTER) announced he is retiring from acting, "It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won't come back." O'Toole, 79, was nominated for eight Oscars and received an honorary Oscar in 2003.
TOTAL RECALL---Kate Beckinsale is co-starring in her husband's (director Len Wiseman) remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie as Lori, Douglas Qaid's wife. Beckinsale said, "At one point, when it looked like I wouldn't be able to play Lori, I was going to do a cameo as the three-breasted woman. And I started fretting about where they'd put the third one. Have I actually got room for a third one in the middle, or would it go to the side? Would it then be under an armpit and actually not sexy?"
COMMUNITY---creator Dan Harmon commented on being fired from his sitcom, “If 20 people call you a horse’s a**, you buy a saddle”, but he added that he is also, “a good person and a very able leader of men...Maybe I am just a jerk. To people who work above me I am a liability that isn’t worth the benefit..."
STALINGRAD---US/Russian World War II movie underway about the key German siege of Stalingrad starring August Diehl (INGLORIUS BASTERDS) and Thomas Kretschmann (RESIDENT EVIL).
TESLA: RULER OF THE WORLD---Christian Bale is in talks to play Nikola Tesla, and Nicolas Cage is in negotiations to play Thomas Edison in this movie about their competition to bring electricity to the public. Tesla promoted AC current, and Edison promoted DC current.
SCARY MOVIE 5---Lindsay Lohan is in talks to co-star in the sequel with Ashley Tisdale.
EVEL KNIEVEL---biomovie underway with Channing Tatum in negotiations to be the star/co-producer. The movie is based on the book LIFE OF EVEL and is from the producers of THE SOCIAL NETWORK.
HARKER---Eli Roth (HOSTEL: PART II) is in talks to direct this movie about Scotland Yard Inspector Jonathan Harker tracking down Dracula in England. Russell Crowe will star as Dracula and not Harker as reported earlier.
GHOSTBUSTERS 3---Etan Cohen (TROPIC THUNDER, MEN IN BLACK 3) is rewriting the sequel script.
OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN---Melissa Leo (HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREETS) will play the Secretary of Defense who cracks while being tortured by North Korean terrorists who have seized the President (Aaron Eckhart) and the White House. Rick Yune (DIE ANOTHER DAY) will play a sadistic North Korean terrorist who is disguised as a South Korean minister's aide.
KILLING LINCOLN---Billy Campbell (THE KILLING) stars in this National Geographic Channel docudrama based on the book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard about the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.
THE OCTOMOM---Nadya Suleman is being sued by a West Palm beach strip club, T's Lounge, for $15,000 after she supposedly broke a deal in order to strip at another club.
THE X FACTOR---at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in North Carolina, Demi Lovato rejected two contestants who sang a rap song about smoking bath salts. Lovato has had drug problems and felt the wrappers were glorifying drug use. Britney Spears stormed off stage after a cross-dressing contestant flubbed a tribute to Spears while trying to sing her hit song "(You Drive Me) Crazy". One contestant is Ray Charles' grandson.
BAD WORDS---Jason Bateman is in talks to be the star/director of this movie about an unhappy man who uses a loophole to enter a national children's spelling bee.
STRETCH ARMSTRONG---Breck Eisner (THE CRAZIES) is in talks to direct the movie based on the Hasbro toy.

The premise, coupled with this possibly being a perfect vehicle for Jason Bateman, made me chuckle.

O'Toole actually looks OLDER than 79, IMO (more like 89), but maybe there's some health reasons for that. So I don't blame him for retiring.
I think he did a fair old bit of living (& a lot of drinking). He looked so good in What's New Pussycat, 1966, he had this, little boy lost act & a sort of camp way of moving. Women love all that stuff, he must have been fighting them off with a cricket bat (well some of them!).
