The Film Nest’s “Film News Daily” gives you a host of items today brought by our roving of the web. Enjoy.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s upcoming Bruno is slapped with the dreaded NC-17 rating. Which is fine by me but sucks for him I guess. [/film]
[Cinematical] says that Paul Giamatti rips a new asshole of the Japanese remake of his hit Sideways. Comedy to read what he says.
I was happy to read that David Cronenberg is planning on a sequel to his underseen Eastern Promises. [MTV] has the exclusive details.
[Film Junk] says that Richard Linklater is “kinda, sorta” working on a sequel to Dazed & Confused. To paraphrase, “I get older, but they all stay the same age.”
Rhys Ifans joins Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows as Xeno Lovegood. People love it or hate it. [Film School Rejects]
The sex appeal got upped for Louis Letterier’s Clash of the Titans by adding Gemma Arterton to the mix. [First Showing]
[Latino Review] confirms that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are joining forces for a film again! The script already exists. They also give some info on The Time Traveler’s Wife, a film we have already seen (and reviewed) but had to take the review down due to contractual obligations.
Warner Brothers throws cinephiles a bone by offering up rare movies exclusively to you that haven’t dropped on DVD. This is an interesting concept. [Twitch]
Sequels and Next Gen are part of [MTV's] Star Trek news exclusive to them. The running time is exactly 2 hours and a few more details exist.
Let us know what the biggest stories are to you and comment on them with us here. Appreciate it.
Can one only wonder what it would be like if Sasha Baron Cohen were allowed to host the Oscars. It would probably be the funniest night in TV history! The guys insane but brilliantly funny.
Chuck
You are right on there Chuck. Remember how the Golbes (or Oscars, or both I can’t remember which) were so aghast at his “racy” humor during his acceptance speech (or presenting, again can’t remember which) during the telecast? I mean, he would be a brilliant Oscar “host”. You want ratings, you want something fresh Academy? Then make this happen.
