FROM SPLASH PAGE: Kevin Spacey announced in 2008 that he and his Trigger Street Productions partner Dana Brunetti were going to start looking at comics. The company, which has helped bring films like "Fanboys" and next year's Facebook-based "The Social Network" to life, opened up a section of TriggerStreet.com to aspiring comics creators looking for feedback—but hasn't yet announced plans to produce anything of their own.

Spacey and Brunetti predicted things to come in 2010, though, and commented on their relationship with Devil's Due Publishing.

"You can say that there are things that are brewing." Spacey told MTV News.

"Se7en." "Fight Club." "Zodiac." Good movies, all – some even great – yet not exactly laugh riots. Rightly or not, director David Fincher has a reputation for serving up dark fare – films that explore death, violence, fear, crime. But maybe Fincher's set on exploring fresh creative territory, stories and themes not present in his earlier work: first a love story in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and now, perhaps, a comedy in "The Social Network."

That's what Kevin Spacey, who's producing the film about the founding of Facebook, told MTV News' Josh Horowitz in a recent interview. "It's probably going to be a lot funnier than people might expect it to be," he said. Read more...

FROM MTV.COM: What went wrong with this movie? The subject — the U.S. military's apparently actual flirtation with paranormal warfare — has rich comic promise. And the cast — George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges — couldn't be much stronger. But while the trailer for "The Men Who Stare at Goats" suggests a quirky, Coen-esque romp, the picture itself lacks the Coen brothers' sardonic intelligence and deft pacing. It wanders and wilts and very quickly falls apart.

The story begins in 2003, with aspiring combat reporter Bob Wilton (McGregor) waiting in Kuwait for clearance to cross over into Iraq. Biding his time, he encounters Lyn Cassady (Clooney), a man with a strange tale to tell. Cassady says he's a "Jedi warrior" (wink, wink) in the New Earth Army, a sub-rosa military unit dedicated to psychic battle strategies — mind-reading, "remote viewing," the whole new-age imaginarium. He says he's been reactivated to locate Bill Django (Bridges), the ponytailed Vietnam vet who founded the NEA back in the early '70s and has now gone missing. Wilton senses a story here, and decides to tag along.

Halloween tweets were way more interesting this morning since everyone was posting actual photos instead of just being indecisive about what to wear. "Twilight" star Billy Burke took the crown for most authentic, though, with his Sid Vicious outfit. He pretty much nailed the Sex Pistols' late bassist.

"Toy Story 3" director, Lee Unkrich, meanwhile retweeted a few incoming photos he received of well crafted character costumes. Gwen Stefani stood out from the pack in that batch, doing Woody's gal pal Jessie from "Toy Story 2." Then there was Fred Durst, who appears to have put a leg up on December, posting a shot of the Christmas tree he just set up in his living room. Check out all of those, as well as reactions from the World Series, Rob Zombie and John Stamos. They're all waiting after the jump in the Twitter-Wood report for November 2, 2009. Read more...

You might not automatically recognize the name Trigger Street if you work outside of the film industry, but you definitely know some of their work: "Beyond the Sea," "The Big Kahuna" and, most recently, the upcoming Aaron Sorkin-penned, David Fincher-directed Facebook biopic, "The Social Network." And even if none of those sound immediately familiar, the production company's co-founder definitely will: Oscar winner Kevin Spacey.

If you happen to be a young/aspiring filmmaker, then you should know about Trigger Street. The production company's online presence, TriggerStreet.com, was relaunched a number of years ago as an online community catering to up-and-comers in the industry. Just this week, for the first time in the network's history, a member of that community has taken home a monetary award for his participation in a short film contest co-sponsored by Trigger Street and Stella Artois: Jason Musante Klein's "The Perfect Time."

From the first days of Twitter, fake accounts have been popping up on a weekly basis -- particularly for "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" actors. Peter Facinelli tweeted out loud and clear today that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart don't have Twitter names. Meanwhile, Tom Felton announced that following his success recruiting Warwick Davis, he may be close to convincing Daniel Radcliffe to come aboard.

There's plenty of room on the Internet for all of them if they make the move, but the Twitter-Wood feed's getting more and more crowded by the day. Virginia Madsen today became our first video poster of note, with a quick clip just off the set of what I'm assuming is "Father of Invention." Elsewhere, Demi Moore demonstrated once again what a valuable tool Twitter is for glimpsing into her marriage life with Ashton Kutcher. You can click down to check out all of those and find out who stood up front for the Jonas Brothers concert last night in the Twitter-Wood report for August 12, 2009. Read more...

In 1999’s “American Beauty,” Kevin Spacey played a depressed suburban dad who experiences a transcendental reawakening. So he starts smoking a particularly potent strain of government-engineered marijuana.

Today a new Spacey flick, “Shrink,” hits theaters, and in this one he portrays a pot-smoking depressive and Hollywood therapist who is so hopelessly addicted he tokes up in the shower and in the bathroom of a pediatric waiting room. Unlike its effect on his blissed-out “Beauty” brother, blazing is nothing but cheerless trouble for the shrink in “Shrink.”

So what’s going on here? Why does one Spacey character become a happy-go-lucky pothead, while the other becomes a despondent drug addict in need of an intervention? In an interview with MTV News, the Academy Award-winning actor was only too pleased to provide an explanation. Read more...

FROM MTV.COM: Last year, Kevin Spacey produced and starred in a film about making big bets and winning piles of cash: "21," based on a book by Ben Mezrich, followed a crew of MIT whiz kids who counted cards and attempted to bring down the house in Las Vegas. Now Spacey is producing another Mezrich adaptation about another whiz kid who made a big bet and became a billionaire: "The Social Network," based on the writer's brand-new book, "The Accidental Billionaires," tells the story of how Mark Zuckerberg turned a little dorm-room project into Facebook.

When MTV News had a chance to speak with Spacey, who was promoting his Hollywood therapist flick "Shrink," the Academy Award winner dished the inside scoop about when they'll be announcing a director, who might portray the 25-year-old Zuckerberg, and if he'll have a role in the film.

UPDATE: Check out our Jeff Goldblum photo gallery for some great shots of the actor throughout his career!

The last 24 hours have been about a week long in Twitter-Wood. After two unplanned updates with reactions to Michael Jackson's death, I'm back with some regularly scheduled programming.

First off, the best news of the last day is that Jeff Goldblum is not dead. Kevin Spacey set the record straight on his Twitter account, and several others reacted as that rumor brushfire was extinguished. We've also got Tom Felton continuing his commentary behind the scenes at "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows," Mandy Moore looking for someone to play "Battletech" with, and much more after the click.

You can expect a lot of things from a versatile actor such as Kevin Spacey. One thing you cannot expect, apparently, is the expected.

Case in point: The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Kevin Spacey's self-produced ensemble comedy "Father of Invention" has enlisted four actors for the film, including Camilla Belle (that's normal), Heather Graham (we're still okay), Craig Robinson (wuh?) and... Johnny Knoxville?! Read more...
