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.

Brendan GleesonProgress on "Safe House" evokes mixed emotions. On the one hand, the idea of Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington together in a CIA thriller is very exciting. On the other, it's just one more movie standing between Reynolds and "Deadpool," and we're starting to wonder whether or not he'll ever have the chance to do the Merc with the Mouth justice.

The Wrap reports that "Harry Potter" actor Brendan Gleeson, "Black Hawk Down" star Sam Shepard, "Clash of the Titans'" Liam Cunningham and the T-1000 himself, Robert Patrick, are all on board for "Safe House," the Universal thriller from director Daniel Espinosa and writer David Guggenheim.

Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator. Robert Patrick as the T-1000. Pretty iconic roles, right? But it was almost a robot from another android movie and a rock star as those unstoppable killing machines.

“They were thinking of Lance Henriksen for the Terminator, and they wanted Arnold for the Michael Biehn part of Kyle Reese,” revealed “Terminator” stunt coordinator Joel Kramer. “And Robert Patrick wasn’t James Cameron’s first pick – Billy Idol was.”
