New Line Picks Up "Sex and the City"

延宕一百年的慾望城市電影版,終於搞定演員,搞定片商定於年底開拍。
到時候開拍免不了又要吵一下誰跟誰不合,不過這四個人根本年屆中年,還能演慾女?

After much foreplay, the movie version of the long-running HBO series, "Sex and the City," is gearing for a fall start, with New Line Cinema near a deal to finance and distribute.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are all set to reprise their roles, with longtime executive producer Michael Patrick King directing a script he wrote.

King will produce with Parker, John Melfi and Darren Star, the latter of whom hatched the series, based on autobiographical columns written by Candace Bushnell.

Fans of the show have clamored for a movie version of "Sex and the City" since the series ended. The film got close to happening about two years ago, but progress halted when Cattrall backed away. She wanted script controls and a salary close to that of Parker, who was more highly paid than the others because she was co-executive producer of the series. Whatever tensions existed are gone now, sources said.


Brad Pitt in "Bullitt" Remake

小布將要挑戰經典螢幕硬漢Steve McQueen, 重拍他的1968年的動作片Bullitt.

小布在片中將抱著勢死決心逮捕幹掉他的目擊證人的兇手。
原片充滿陽剛男人味,摩托車,賽車,保證熱血無敵,有非常經典的飛車追逐。

Brad Pitt has signed up for the remake of "Bullitt," as Lt Frank Bullit, the part taken in the 1968 original by screen legend Steve McQueen, reports The Sun.

Pitt had been linked to the project in 2003 but it stalled. However, Hollywood film bosses are eager to get as many movies under way as possible, with strike action by the Screen Actors Guild rumored to be taking place soon. The "Bullitt" remake is one of the projects to be given the green light, and Brad was the only man for the job.

A source said: "Brad shares a lot of the same passions as Steve McQueen — including a love of motorbikes and fast cars — so it was a dream role for him."

The original was about an all guts, no glory San Francisco cop becomes determined to find the underworld kingpin that killed the witness in his protection. The film was famous for its car chase, starring McQueen's Mustang through San Francisco.


Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Working on a Script

好萊塢BBFs最佳典範Ben跟Matt終於要再度合作寫劇本,上次合作已是金獎作品,10年前的心靈捕手。

這兩個人還不是知名演員的時候,就合租一個小公寓一起努力打拼。
目前還不知道故事內容為何,但以最近兩人家庭相互出遊的頻繁程度來看,作品應該很快就會出爐。

US Weekly reports that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are re-uniting to write a screenplay, something they haven't done together since winning an Oscar for "Good Will Hunting."

When the two were struggling actors, they shared an apartment in Massachusetts, but now that success came their way, the writing team got together in Kauai, Hawaii, renting a house for $13,000 per week.

"They're really excited about it," says the source. "Ben and Matt keep taking breaks to go surfing and hang out with their families, but for the most part, they've been writing together on this trip."

At this point, it is unclear what script they are writing, so stay tuned.


Nicole Kidman Stars in "Monte Carlo"

Nicole Kidman的新片將飾演一名到蒙地卡羅尋愛的老師,本片由婆家就是你家導演Tom Bezucha 指導。

Nicole Kidman is attached to star in and produce "Monte Carlo," a romantic comedy that Fox 2000 and New Regency are co-financing, reports Variety.

Pic will be directed and co-written by Tom Bezucha (The Family Stone). He has just turned in a draft of "Monte Carlo" that he wrote with Maria Maggenti. Pic is an adaptation of the Jules Bass novel "Headhunters."

Kidman will play one of three Midwestern schoolteachers who ditch a disappointing no-frills holiday in Paris and pose as wealthy women vacationing in Monaco.


"Wolverine" is Jackman's Next

雖然X戰警4到目前沒有消息,但福斯怎麼可能放棄這塊市場大餅?
已經著手在準備金鋼狼前傳的製作,現在就等男主角Hugh Jackman拍完巴茲魯曼的愛情片Australia.

目前考慮的導演是今年表現突出的兩年輕導演Len Wiseman (終極警探4.0), D.J. Caruso (恐怖社區,機動殺人)
據報導Hugh將因這部片晉升兩千萬俱樂部。 

The upcoming "Wolverine" film seems to be the best hope for continuing the "X-Men" movie franchise, since "X-Men 4" is not even talked about at Fox. "There is no script for an 'X-Men 4,' and there is none in the works," said producer Lauren Shuler Donner.

But apparently, the studio loves the films and are very eager to get "Wolverine" out next year. At this point, Fox has committed to go into production the instant Hugh Jackman finishes Baz Luhrmann's epic romance "Australia," which is tentatively set to release next year. "The idea is, they can finish him out in September or October and put this one on the fast track so they can get it out next summer," says one source.

Jackman will reportedly earn $20 million for the film and directors Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) and D.J. Caruso (Disturbia) are in consideration to helm.


Zac Efron Stars in "Footloose" Remake

當紅青少年演員Zac Efron自從演了High School Musical高校音樂劇之後,各方邀約不斷,幾乎都是歌舞片,包括即將上映的Hairsprary, 
本片Footloose也是改編自舊片,原版由Kevin Bacon飾演,一個叛逆男孩在禁止跳舞的世界發生的故事。

怪的是,當時高校音樂劇明明就不是他唱的啊,是別人代唱的咧。

Paramount is plotting a musical remake of the 1984 film "Footloose" and will develop it for "High School Musical" star Zac Efron and director Kenny Ortega.

Ortega is in negotiations to helm and choreograph, and Efron is in talks to play Ren McCormack, the rebellious newcomer (originally played by Kevin Bacon) in a town where dancing has been banned. Original was directed by Herb Ross and scripted by Dean Pitchford.

Plan is to turn the project into a full-blown musical. "Footloose" was already turned into a Broadway tuner.
