Hayden Panettiere is 21 and Nikki Reed is 22, but they just can't seem to get enough of high school. According to Variety, the actresses are set to star in the thriller "Downers Grove," based on the Michael Hornburg novel about a cursed high school in a Chicago suburb where each year one senior dies a bizarre death right before graduation.
Here's the truly interesting part: "Less Than Zero," "American Psycho" and "Rules of Attraction" novelist Bret Easton Ellis has adapted the screenplay for the film. Judging by the aforementioned log-line, the movie would seem to be along the lines of the "Final Destination" flicks -- a strange fit for a man like Ellis, who's know for novels generously laden with social commentary, violence, perversity and satire.

By now, you've probably heard all about how the woeful financial struggles of once-powerful studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have been holding up the works on future James Bond movies (it owns the rights to the 007 franchise). Well, good news -- on Wednesday, MGM rejected a takeover bid by Lionsgate and billionaire Carl Icahn... and instead filed for bankruptcy! That may not sound like the peachiest news, but in doing so MGM has effectively wiped $4 billion in debt off its plate and set in motion a complicated financial restructuring that will allow it to continue to make movies, including the soon-to-be-in-production "

Mila Kunis And Justin Timberlake Get Naked In 'Friends With Benefits' Red-Band Trailer

The red-band trailer for the new Justin Timberlake-Mila Kunis romantic comedy "Friends With Benefits" requires no introduction -- the title basically explains the premise -- but we're going to provide one anyway, just for yuks. JT and Mila play two pals who realize that they're completely wrong for each other romantically (which, in movie terms, means that they're completely right for each other), but they still want to make the beast with two backs together. And so they agree to become -- you guessed it -- friends with benefits.
Of course, they soon discover that there's no such thing as "no strings attached"... which reminds us of this Natalie Portman-Ashton Kutcher rom-com that recently got a trailer and is also about best pals who decide they can do the nasty while keeping things platonic... but soon discover they may have been mistaken. So what was that flick called again? Oh yeah, "No Strings Attached."
Anywho, the trailer for "Friends With Benefits" sells itself: It's basically two-and-a-half minutes of Timberlake singing that Semisonic song "Closing Time" and having sex with Kunis, usually both at the same time and often while the two of them are naked. Read More...
