Rob Lowe Signs Up For Sex Tape (Oh, The Irony)

By Leave a Comment

Rob-LoweIn 1988, Rob Lowe’s blooming, heartthrob career nearly came to a complete end when he was caught on tape having sex with a 16-year-old girl and a 22-year-old woman the night before the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta.

It took him a long time to fight his way back (it wasn’t until The West Wing that Hollywood properly forgave him), but it seems Lowe thinks 25 years is enough time to allow a little irony, as he has signed on for a role in the Sony Pictures comedy, Sex Tape, according to TheWrap.

Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz take the lead roles a married couple who try to spice up their love life by making a sex tape. However, the next day they can’t find the tape, which launches them on a frantic search to find the video before it ends up in the wrong hands.

Lowe has signed up to play the high-strung CEO of the Children’s Toy Company, who inadvertently comes into possession of the tape that the young couple is trying to get back. Rob Corddry and Jack Black also star.

Jake Kasdan (Bad Teacher) is directing, with filming die to begin later in the autumn.

I half wonder whether Lowe signed up just so that when people put ‘rob lowe sex tape’ into Google, something other than his 1988 ignominy comes up in the results.

Bobby Cannavale Will Advise Jamie Foxx In The Annie Remake

By Leave a Comment

Bobby-CannavaleThe new, updated version of the classic musical Annie is gearing up to shoot, and it’s already got Quvenzhane Wallis, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Rose Byrne on-board. Now Deadline reports that they’ve been joined by Broadwalk Empire star Bobby Cannavale.

The music for this new version has been updated by Will Smith and Jay-Z score, although it’s not known yet quite how contemporary the tunes will become and whether we’ll get a hip-hop version of Tomorrow. The plot remains the same though, with orphan Annie (Wallis) having a hard-luck life in the foul orphanage run by Miss Hannigan (Diaz). She’s then taken in by the filthy rich Benjamin Stacks (Foxx), who initially doesn’t really want her, but soon falls for the plucky youngster’s charms.

Cannavale will be playing what appears to be a new character, a “bulldog political adviser” to Foxx’s character, who in this revamped version is considering a run for Mayor of New York City, in this contemporary take on the tale.

Will Gluck is directing from a screenplay he is currently rewriting, which was originally written by Aline Brosh McKenna and Emma Thompson. Annie is currently set for release December 25th, 2014

Brad Pitt Shows Off His Massive Hat In The Counsellor

By Leave a Comment

Counsellor-pic2Brad Pitt is making quite a big fashion statement in the new image above from Ridley Scott’s The Counsellor. Indeed OTT fashion seems to be one of the movie’s big things, as evidence from the pics below, which include a rather cute Cameron Diaz and Javier Bardem looking, umm, unique.

Directed by Ridley Scott from a script by Cormac McCarthy, the film stars Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt and John Leguizamo. The Counsellor tells the story of a lawyer (Fassbender), who finds himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking. And as this teaser shows, it’s all going to be looking extremely slick (and with pet cheetahs, which is a bonus).

It hits cinemas in October.

Cameron Diaz To Be Annie’s Miss Hannigan After Sandra Bullock Steps Away

By Leave a Comment

cameron-diazCameron Diaz is set to be giving people a hard knock life as THR reports that she’s closed a deal to play evil orphanage owner Miss Hannigan in Sony’s updated version of Annie. Recently it was reported that Sandra Bullock was in talks for the role, but ultimately a deal couldn’t be struck and so Diaz has stepped in.

Of course, Miss Hannigan is the unpleasant, scheming woman who runs the orphanage that Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) lives in before being taken in by Daddy Warbucks (Jamie Foxx). Carol Burnett played Miss Hannigan in the 1982 films version of Annie.

Will Smith and Jay-Z are producing the movie and have been working behind the screen to update the music. Will Gluck is set to direct the movie from a screenplay that he is currently rewriting. Emma Thompson wrote the original draft, which was rewritten by Aline Brosh McKenna.
