Like Charlie's Angels, but dangerous!
Even though the The Expendables 2 was a bit redundant and perhaps too self-aware at times, it was still an entertaining action movie with all-star cast appeal. A sequel is already in development, with Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood all being courted to join the cast. Noticeably absent from that list are the names of any female action movie stars. We say, if the gimmick of the franchise is surprising new cast additions, why not push it further than bringing in Indy by bringing in Ripley or The Bride.
Or, better yet, how about a stand-alone movie with an all-female cast of female action heroes from yesterday and today? Just think of the possibilities!
Imagine a revenge movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino about an all-female super-spy team run by Sigourney Weaver, with members that include: Uma Thurman as the knife expert; Gina Carano as the pugilist/demolitions expert; Jada Pinkett Smith as the animal/gun expert; Kate Beckinsale as the poison expert/seductress; Chloë Moretz as the trainee (Fox Force Five!). But, enough about our fantasy she-woman action movie. We want to know what you think: Which female action movie stars of yesterday and today do you think could make the line-up in an all-female Expendables-style movie?

Like most novels set in Paris in the late 1800s, Bel Ami is a story about scandal, society, infidelity, and power — the perfect recipe for an indie period drama. Add Edward Cullen Robert Pattinson as a charming playboy, though, and you've got producers hoping for a movie with an appeal beyond the Merchant and Ivory set.
Pattinson plays Georges Duroy, a journalist who gains power by manipulating and seducing rich and prominent Parisian women. And seduce and manipulate RPatz does in this second trailer, bedding Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
And if the collage of steamy scenes isn't enough to draw in the Twilight crowd, the trailer ends with a pale Georges strolling dramatically through a doorway into the light, bringing to mind Edward's entrance to Volterra's square in New Moon. We're surprised they didn't find a way to add a few CGI sparkles to his 19th-century attire.

Brett Ratner says he stepped down as producer of the 2012 Academy Awards, but was actually fired for saying "rehearsal is for fags" at a Tower Heist premiere last Friday. The Hollywood Reporter has collected nine other crude Brett Ratner quotes, most having to do with his "banging" of Olivia Munn.

A juror in the trial of Jacko doc Conrad Murray said the decision to find him guilty of manslaughter was easy and that all jurors were in agreement early in the deliberation process. Meanwhile, earlier reports that Murray was on a suicide watch are false, which didn't really add up since Murray will likely only serve just a single year of a likely 4-year sentence.

Breaking Dawn's Edward Cullen may only have eyes for one lady, but Robert Pattinson's character in Bel Ami really gets around.
Today we have some new pics from the upcoming period flick, and it's clear that there will be no shortage of steamy scenes in this adaptation of the Guy de Maupassant novel. Pattinson plays a social climber, Georges Duroy, who moves through the ranks of 19th-century Parisian society by seducing powerful women.
There is some bad news though, to contrast with the yumminess of the new photos. It was rumored earlier that the movie would be released this fall, but now the word on the street is that producers are hoping for a Berlin Film Festival premiere, so that would mean a February 2012 release at the earliest... Since the movie doesn't yet have a distributor, it could be quite a bit later. Here's hoping the star power of Pattinson along with Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, and Kristin Scott Thomas speeds that along.

Oliver Stone is putting together an appealing cast for his upcoming drama Savages, based on the novel by Don Winslow that follows two pot-dealing buddies who become involved with a Mexican drug cartel. When the cartel kidnaps their girlfriend, the two are forced to find a way to pay the ransom.
Last month, Taylor Kitsch (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass) were cast respectively as Southern California pot growers Chon, an ex-Navy Seal, and Ben, an environmentally-conscious Berkeley grad. Benicio Del Toro was also cast last month as a drug enforcer named Lado, who works for a drug cartel matriarch, to be played by Salma Hayek.
The latest cast additions, according to Deadline, are Blake Lively (Green Lantern) as O, the kidnapped girlfriend, a role originally intended for Jennifer Lawrence until she won the lead role in The Hunger Games. Pulp Fiction and Be Cool co-stars John Travolta and Uma Thurman will reunite in the movie, with Travolta playing a burned out DEA agent named Dennis, and Thurman playing O's mom, Paqu. Then there's Emile Hirsch (Milk), whom Variety reports has also joined the cast in an unspecified role.
Production on Savages starts in July. Winslow adapted the screenplay with Shane Salerno (Shaft).

Charlie Sheen took the stage last night in Cleveland to chants of "F**k Detroit," (see our first-night fan reaction video, if you're unclear on why) and ended with another standing ovation, probably due in part to the fact that he told the crowd he wants to shoot Major League 3 in the city. Meanwhile, Sheen is seeking trademarks for 22 of his catchphrases including "Duh, Winning," "Tiger Blood," "Rock Star From Mars," "Vatican Assassin," "Violent Torpedo of Truth," and "Defeat Is Not an Option."

Wendy Williams was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars and quipped, "Despite stereotypes, this is one black girl who can't even do the running man." Her poorly reviewed foxtrot with partner Tony Dovolani may have been due in part to her bruised and bloated feet, which she posted a disgusting picture of on Twitter.

Speaking of being naked, it's revealed Robert Pattinson will be quite often in the upcoming drama Bel Ami, about a gigolo who works his way up the socialite ladder in 19th century France. It also stars Natalia Tena, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Christina Ricci.

The first trailer has arrived online for writer/director Max Winkler's debut feature-length movie Ceremony, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last September to rave reviews. SlashFilm called Ceremony a "fantastic feature debut" that is "filled with complex, interesting and engrossing characters." Audiences will be able to see for themselves when the movie opens on VOD on March 4, and in theaters April 8.
The movie follows a children's book author (Michael Angarano) who attempts to win the affection of an older woman (Uma Thurman) on the weekend of her wedding. Winkler recently admitted to MTV that it isn't the most straight-forward comedy ever made.
I think this is a movie where if it's successful in the way I want it to be, you can laugh and feel emotional and sad at the same time, that would be my goal. I think it’s a comedy, but I’m very influenced by movies of the ‘70s, like Paper Moon and Annie Hall, that can be comedies but also hit you emotionally. To me I always think the best kind of comedy comes from sadness, and that’s what we tried to capitalize on.
Winkler also says that Ceremony will show a different side of Thurman that isn't often shown in movies.
Uma, for whatever reason, sort of gravitated to the character. A lot of people are used to seeing her with a Samurai sword and killing 5,000 ninjas at a time. The real Uma, I think this character is probably closer to her, stripped down and who she really is — this unbelievable delicate vulnerability that Uma has when you meet her and you get past the intimidation of standing in front of this 6-foot, beautiful Avatar-esque goddess woman. You get to know her and you realize she has a real delicate quality to her that is unbelievable.

Longtime Uma Thurman stalker Jackson Jordan was arrested at his home yesterday — while he was Googling "Uma Thurman" — for allegedly trying to call the actress's cell phone again, in violation of her order of protection. Jordan had previously written to Uma, saying in 2005, "I love you maybe. I love all your movies. I think your hands are beautiful." and "My hands should be on your body at all times."

Tom Brady has three Super Bowl rings and a supermodel wife, but our bet is he'd trade it all not to be afflicted by male pattern baldness. The increasingly reliable National Enquirer reports Brady's car was spotted outside Leonard Hair Transplant Associates in Cranston, R.I., on Nov. 9. That's the office of Dr. Robert Leonard, who calls himself "New England's foremost authority on hair restoration."
