Anthony Mackie's new movie about Olympic superstar Jesse Owens is still moving forward, the 28-year-old star insisted -- even if it's not exactly moving as fast as the legendary sprinter himself.
"Hopefully we'll be starting it next year," Mackie said of the long in development project. "We're just looking for a director. It's hard to find a director that can make action and sports fun as well as give you deep intense character driven performances."
Owens, of course, is often considered one of the most important (if not also best) athletes ever, famous not just for winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but for being a black man winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in full view of Adolf Hitler, who had hoped to use the games as an opportunity to showcase Nazism and German ethnic superiority.

When news leaked that visionary director Darren Aronofsky was about to shepherd a fourth big-screen incarnation of “Robocop,” fans of the character were simultaneously both excited and a little confused. Aronofsky? The guy who directed “Requiem for a Dream” and “Pi”? Just what in the heck brought him to the project in the first place?

Rebuking all the early talk about "Bad Lieutenant: Port of New Orleans," being a remake, star Nicolas Cage recently compared his character to James Bond.
All fine and good – but even James Bond never had a woman like this: "I play a character who is Nicholas Cage's love interest, and she is a working girl, she is a prostitute who is very damaged," Eva Mendes said of her hitherto secret character in the film.
