Is Taylor Lautner 'Expendable,' Too?

Posted 8/26/11 2:25 pm EST by in Casting Call


Taylor LautnerIs Taylor Lautner about to become expendable? That's certainly what the latest casting rumor for "The Expendables 2" would have us believe.

The folks over at Moviehole report that Lautner is one of several action stars that is being looked at to star in the upcoming sequel. Apparently the offer hasn't gone out to the "Abduction" star yet, but he is allegedly high up on the list of actors that Lionsgate wants for the film.

Also on the list are Christopher Lambert, Nicolas Cage and Christian Slater, as well as the previously rumored John Travolta, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris. It certainly would be interesting to see up-and-coming action hero Lautner facing off against some of the baddest dudes around.

'In Time' Trailer Teases Justin Timberlake's Weird Time-Driven Future

Posted 8/3/11 4:33 pm EST by in Trailers


Ever since Comic-Con, we've been seeing a heck of a lot of footage of Justin Timberlake's latest flick "In Time," but the latest trailer to hit the web is definitely its best.

First off, it's a good minute and a half shorter than the previous trailer released. In this case that's a good thing, because it gives a much more concise look at the plot while still keeping us intrigued. And we certainly are intrigued.

Second reason? It gives us our first look at Olivia Wilde as Timberlake's mom, which is something we have been looking forward to for a while.

Olivia Wilde: Porn Star Linda Lovelace Biopic 'Would Be Interesting'

Posted 8/3/11 10:33 am EST by in Interviews, News, Video


Before I get to the meat of this story, I would like to point out that if there is anyone who has room to complain about the number of press and promotional events she has had to attend over the course of the last year it is Olivia Wilde. From the outside looking in, the woman has been on or at a seemingly never-ending stream of press junkets, conventions and red carpets for films like "Tron: Legacy," "Cowboys and Aliens," and "The Change-Up."

And because Wilde is so hot right now, her name gets attached to a lot of film projects, i.e. Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Linda Lovelace biopic, one of two currently in the works. When MTV News caught up with the busy actress at the premiere of "The Change-Up," we asked her if she'll take on the role.

Olivia Wilde Flirts With Porn Star Linda Lovelace Biopic

Posted 8/1/11 2:17 pm EST by in Casting Call


Olivia WildeOlivia Wilde as porn star Linda Lovelace? If that doesn't set off some alarms in your head, you might not have a pulse!

"It would be a tremendous honor," Wilde told E! Online of the possibility that she might star in a biopic from Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman about the "Deep Throat" star. "It's such a cool role. She was a fascinating woman—with where she came from to 'Deep Throat' to then working with Gloria Steinem and Nora Ephron. It's really fascinating."

Nothing's confirmed yet, but if Wilde takes on the role, she'll be the second Hollywood star taking a big-screen shot at Lovelace; "Watchmen" actress Malin Akerman is starring in a separate biopic about the topic.

Cameron Diaz Butts Into 'After Hours: Movie Awards Edition'

Posted 6/5/11 7:56 pm EST by in After Hours, MTV Movie Awards


MTV's Josh Horowitz has been floating around show business for a while, but that doesn't mean he's got this interviewing thing totally under control.

Or, at least that's what he wants us to believe in the latest MTV Movie Awards edition of After Hours, in which Josh performs a series of interview faux pas with a variety of our favorite movie stars from Danny McBride to Olivia Wilde, and it doesn't end up so well for him. Future interviewers, a word to the wise: Cameron Diaz doesn't like your butt in her face and Keanu Reeves could do without you suggesting he change his name.
