It's a good time to be Woody Harrelson these days. After a starring turn in this year's Best Picture winner, the veteran actor has no less than nine films in various stages of development.
But perhaps no movie has fans talking more than the one he isn't even officially attached to...yet.
"I haven't heard anything since I talked to you last," Harrelson said when we pestered him again for details on "The A-Team" movie, in which he's rumored to star as Murdock (click here to see our first time around). "It's still one of those question marks." Read more...

His debut film opened at number one, and Columbus Short's follow-up flick is looking at a high-profile opening later this month. So, what project does the fast-rising actor want to use his newfound clout to help bring to the screen?
"We need to do a live-action 'Thunder Cats,'" the "Stomp the Yard" star grinned. "I might produce that next."
Although Short might be joking about making plans to scream "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!" anytime soon, he is quick to point out that he ain't no "Ho!" either. Instead, the 25-year-old has been carefully building a stable of intriguing projects, turning down high-profile paychecks in flicks like "Justice League", and getting ready to knock his profile up a few pegs when the Chris Brown-starrer "This Christmas" hits theaters on the 21st. (After the jump, Short talks teaming with Kate Beckinsale, thieving with Matt Dillon, and his first horror movie) Read more...

For nearly a decade-and-a-half, John Singleton has been the reigning black filmmaker in Hollywood (sorry, Spike Lee). But with such recent releases as "Four Brothers" and "2 Fast 2 Furious," the writer/director/producer has begun branching out beyond typical 'hood flicks. Recently, we caught up with Singleton and the largely Latino cast of his next producing effort, and he explained how he's reinventing his own "Boyz n the Hood" blueprint.
"We hittin' it real hard. It's like a family gangster movie," Singleton revealed. "It's a hot movie that comes out this summer and it's called 'Illegal Tender.'"
The flick co-stars "Coach Carter" star/afro-enthusiast Rick Gonzalez, along with up-and-coming Latino actors Zulay Henao, Mercedes Mercado and hip hop/reggaeton star Tego Calderon. Read more...
