DAILIES: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s TV Series Details, New ‘Rock Of Ages’ Casting


Arnold SchwarzeneggerNow that Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to delve back into the wild world of Hollywood, speculation has risen as to what his first project will be.

The latest we heard was that it would be a television series, which is a bit surprising since he is such a major movie star. But now Deadline has the news that the mystery series might actually be animated. They speculate that comic book guru Stan Lee might even be a major collaborator. The plot thickens!

After the jump, find out which actress is headed to “Rock of Ages,” who will be directing Ben Mezrich‘s latest and which Wes Anderson regular is joining “Moonrise Kingdom.”

Amy Adams To Enchant “Rock Of Ages”
She already proved she’s got the vocal chops in “Enchanted,” and now Deadline has the scoop that Amy Adams is being courted for “Rock of Ages.” She will play a journalist who has a steamy affair with Tom Cruise‘s rock star boyfriend, Stacee Jax. Apparently the role was originally offered to Anne Hathaway, but she had to pass for “The Dark Knight Rises.” Turns out Paul Giamatti is also circling the project.

Will Gluck Is Ready For “Sex On The Moon”
It’s hard to follow in the footsteps of the latest Ben Mezrich adaptation, “The Social Network,” but “Easy A” director Will Gluck is going to be the man to try. The Los Angeles Times has the scoop that he has been tapped by Sony to handle their adaptation of Mezrich’s NASA drama, “Sex on the Moon.”

“Tree Of Life” Takes Root In Cannes
Finally, “Tree of Life” has a premiere date that is a bit sooner than the previously announced May 27. Variety reports that the flick will show at Cannes in April, though we won’t know which date until the official line-up is announced.

Jason Schwartzman Is Anderson-ed Again
It doesn’t seem like too much of a surprise that Jason Schwartzman is joining Wes Anderson in his latest movie, “Moonrise Kingdom,” but it’s good news all the same. In addition, the Providence Entertainment Examiner announced that Edward Norton and Frances McDormand have joined the project. Rounding out the previously announced cast are Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton and other Anderson-regular Bill Murray.

“Sucker Punch” Stars Love Looking Badass
The lovely leading ladies of “Sucker Punch” took the time to talk to MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog about the intricacies of the film’s many costume designs. “We had a lot to play with,” Jamie Chung explained, “with power and strength, but still being really vulnerable. It’s a wide range of different costumes that help put you in a different kind of mood.”

‘Sucker Punch’ Review: Zack Snyder’s First Misfire


Filed under: , , , ,


Zack Snyder’s ‘Sucker Punch‘ is the cinematic equivalent of Max Fischer, the main character of Wes Anderson’s ‘Rushmore:’ it may be in all of these really awesome and interesting after-school clubs, but it’s barely passing its regular classes. As a longtime fan of Snyder, I was excited to see a completely self-generated project after four of them which were derived from existing works, but the film exemplifies both the director’s strengths and weaknesses: as a visual stylist, his proficiency is almost incomparable, but he really seems to need an existing story, or at least story structure, to use as a foundation upon which to build those movie moments. A work of unsurpassed style but frivolous substance, ‘Sucker Punch’ is Zack Snyder‘s first misfire and ultimately, and for fans, unfortunately, just not a great film.

The film stars Emily Browning (‘The Uninvited’) as Baby Doll, a young woman committed to a mental institution after assaulting her stepfather with a pistol. Although she’s watched closely by the administrator, Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac), and his resident psychiatrist, Dr. Gorski (Carla Gugino), Baby Doll soon meets fellow inmates Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Rocket (Jena Malone), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), and Amber (Jamie Chung), and forms a tenuous friendship as their world transforms from an insane asylum into a brothel where they’re the main attraction. But when Baby Doll discovers that the High Roller (Jon Hamm) is coming in five days to perform a lobotomy/ take her innocence, the five of them hatch a plan with the help of the Wise Man (Scott Glenn) to acquire a series of items which in theory should help her escape to freedom.
