Eva Longoria, Harry Potter Scars And 'Cowboys And Aliens' In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 11/17/10 3:30 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood

Eva LongoriaSeth Green has been a prolific tweeter of photography this year, and I wish we had some kind of award to give him. Instead, he gave us all something marvelous yesterday in the form of a picture full of ninjas. Jon Favreau, meanwhile, gave us a trailer from his new movie "Cowboys & Aliens," which succeeded in achieving trending status today.

Between "Cowboys & Aliens" and "Green Lantern," there's a lot of movie hype flying around this week. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" should still be fine, though, even if it does give Seth MacFarlane some wild ideas about Joaquin Phoenix. Find out what he's been contemplating after the jump, along with who thinks he might have a shot at dating Eva Longoria now that she's filed for divorce.

Robert Zemeckis To Direct 'Wizard Of Oz' Remake Using Script From 1939 Original

Posted 11/17/10 12:45 pm EST by in News

Wizard of OzRobert Downey Jr. is a popular choice for "Wizard of Oz"-related movies right now. He first showed up on Disney's list earlier this year for their prequel "Oz, The Great and Powerful," but Warner Bros. reportedly wants him as well for a Robert Zemeckis-helmed remake of MGM's 1939 musical classic. What's even more interesting, however, is that they want to use MGM's original screenplay as the basis for the film.

Zemeckis is still in early discussions with Disney, according to a Deadline report. Warner already owns the 1939 screenplay, which they purchased from Ted Turner, who originally bought it as part of a larger MGM library acquisition. Read More...

Channing Tatum Ready To Jump At Role In Jonah Hill's '21 Jump Street'

Posted 11/10/10 11:25 am EST by in News

Channing TatumChanning Tatum battled evil with action-figure-inspired technology in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," but he may be scaling things down a bit to help out America's youth with Jonah Hill. Tatum reportedly wants in and is set to begin negotiations for the Hill-written big-screen adaptation of the '80s cop show that launched Johnny Depp's career, "21 Jump Street." While the film has a part for Johnny Depp in a "really funny cameo" if he wants it, he's far too old to play the lead, seeing as the cops in "Jump Street" go undercover as high-school students to root out crime.

Enter Tatum, who is now the front runner for the movie's lead role, according to Deadline. The studio thought Tatum and Hill made a good on-screen pair, and if all goes as planned production should begin next spring with "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller overseeing things.
