Quentin Tarantino Gets Wild With Fergie In Vegas

Posted 3/31/08 3:33 pm EST by in Photos


We know Quentin Tarantino likes to party -- his unflinching panache for leather jackets is testiment to that -- so I guess it's only natural that he hooked up with Fergie -- whom he shares a b-day with -- to throw a wild celebratory soirée in Vegas. Of course, the big question is where was hubbie-to-be Josh Duhamel in all this? Back in LA slamming down jello shots with Pam Grier?

Keanu Reeves Says He Turned Down 'Watchmen' And 'Speed Racer' Roles

Posted 3/31/08 1:01 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News


Keanu ReevesClearly Keanu Reeves has become perhaps THE go-to guy for cool sci-fi/genre properties in recent years (funny how a mega-blockbuster trilogy like "The Matrix" will help something like that). By the end of the year Keanu is going to add Klaatu to his roster of iconic roles in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", but there could have been even more on his geek-friendly resume. Just the other day he admitted to MTV News that there were two other high-profile roles he recently turned down, in the form of Dr. Manhattan AND Racer X!

Yes, Reeves confirmed the long whispered of rumors that he'd been offered the role of Dr. Manahattan in Zack Snyder's eagerly anticipated adaptation of "Watchmen." Saying he was absolutely interested in the role but had to pass because it simply "didn't work out," Reeves still expressed his enthusiasm for the "Watchmen" project. Read More...

Casting Call: Who Should Round Out Bush's Brain Trust In 'W'?

Posted 3/31/08 8:00 am EST by in Casting Call


Tommy Lee JonesOur strategery is simple: Never misunderestimate the power of a good cast. With George, Laura and the senior President Bush all cast for the upcoming Oliver Stone biopic "W," we wanted to know which famous thesps should fill out the rest of the cabinet. While we have no idea if any of these characters actually appear in the film — and, granting that, how big their roles are — below are our choices for some of the most senior members of Bush's brain trust. Sound off in agreement or disagreement below.

Donald Rumsfeld: You go the movies with the cast you have, not the cast you wish you had ... but if we had just one wish, it would be for the two-time secretary of defense to be played by Tommy Lee Jones, that master of controlled rage, whose eyes hide a thousand secrets and regrets.

Colin Powell: Jeffrey Wright, the role is yours. You break it, you buy it. Read More...

BREAKING: Tom Hanks Drops Out Of 'Fahrenheit 451’

Posted 3/28/08 1:39 pm EST by in News


Tom HanksFrank Darabont is one of those guys we're always rooting for. Any guy who's got both the touchy-feeliness of "The Shawshank Redemption" AND the utter blackness of "The Mist" in him is alright by us. Well, pity poor Frank today, because his passion project, the long in-development film of "Fahrenheit 451" is once again without a leading man. Tom Hanks is out, Darabont revealed to MTV News exclusively.

Only months ago, Darabont told us Hanks was his Guy Montag. Now it's not to be. "Mr. Hanks sadly and regretfully had to back out," he said. "I was really looking forward to working with him again but his other commitments just precluded it. He had to take a step back." Read More...

Michelle Trachtenberg Looks Up To Zac Efron As Her Dad In 'Seventeen Again'

Posted 3/28/08 12:39 pm EST by in News


Michelle TrachtenbergMichelle Trachtenberg was off fighting vampires when she was 17 -- but for "Seventeen Again," she's happy to be "free and clear" from action scenes, especially those that involve dancing. That, she leaves to her co-star Zac Effron.

"I just watch him and mope," she said -- and not because she's pining for a different sort of action. As if! He's playing her dad (even though she's two years older), and just to rub it in, she called him "Dad" on set. "Anything we did, father/daughter-wise," Trachtenberg told us, "I'd tease him, 'I'm older than you! You're not really my father,' while he's trying to tell me what to do." But she understands that the girls love Zac, and she doesn't fault them for that: "If you think he's hot, rock on. He is." Read More...
