It's been a while since I've spammed links of mild to incredible interest, but I realized I was retweeting a majority of the links in my feed.Harry Potter News:Evidently, Professor Snape aka Alan Rickman aka the coolest cat in England is returning to Broadway now that HP is over. I would pay great sums of money to see this. I would also pay great sums of money to hire him as my wake up call--coolest voice ever. Meanwhile, HP's star, Daniel Radcliffe, is wasting no time signing up for new projects. His newest flick, The Woman in Black, is due out in February I believe. But apparently he could also play Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings. This is.... not the happiest of screenplays... so I guess it's not a stretch from his ghost thriller and his nudie-equine-loving-lost-boy character on Broadway's Equus. Good thing the Harry Potter fandom spans more than a few generations. Vampire News:Chris Meloni might be cast in True Blood's 5th season? Really? Evidently he would be a very powerful vampire... so perhaps an Order member? He certainly has that vamp look, but I don't know how I feel about watching Law & Order: SVU's favorite detective becoming the sexual predator he once hunted. Summit Entertainment won a legal battle over non-licensed Bella jackets. So, add that $$ to the over $500million they've already made on Twilight's Breaking Dawn: Part 1. I also heard rumors of a possible merge of Summit and Lions Gate. Hot Guy News:Zac Efron is playing the next Nicholas Sparks movie heartthrob, Logan of The Lucky One. Yeah, ok. Fair enough. At least I remembered what happened in this Nicholas Sparks book. Usually when I can't remember I assume A) it takes place in North Carolina, B) the woman is lost and beautiful, C) the man is a blue collar type from her past, and D) you can flip a coin to decide if someone dies. Daniel Craig apparently doesn't appreciate the Kardashians, as with the 99% of the rest of the U.S. (3 million viewers out of 300 million people = 1%) I usually don't appreciate these sound bites because of their attention-getting nature, but I'm also glad he said it and not me. Snow White News:There are two Snow White movies coming out next year. Or maybe it's three--but I think the third would be animation. Regardless, the trailers are out for both live action films. There is Snow White and the Huntsman, a rougher, tougher adaptation with 8 dwarves instead of 7, featuring Charlize Theron (evil queen), Kristen Stewart (Snow White), and Chris Hemsworth (hunstman). Then there is Mirror, Mirror, the whimsical comedy version featuring Julia Roberts (evil queen) and Lily Collins (Snow White). Game on, Snow. ... speaking of Snow White, I suppose the entertainment biz is really pushing fairy tale fantasy right now... i.e. ABC's Once Upon a Time and NBC's Grimm. Either there is zero good original content out there, or our country is in desperate need of a happy ending. Scary Asian Movie News:Oldboy. I watched it once, and once was enough. Spike Lee and Josh Brolin want me to watch it again, even if only to prove that they A) won't butcher the third act, and B) WILL butcher the third act, in a more literal sense. Akira is still bumping around the movie universe. Once upon a time, I heard that Zac Efron was a possible lead. This did not go over well. Then I heard Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gorden-Levitt were attached. This might be ok. Then I heard Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy) was set to play the main character, Kaneda. I also heard Gary Oldman might play the lieutenant. The lesson here is that no one knows anything. The HOBBIT News:If you have not been following the updates on the Hobbit Facebook page, I suggest you do so. Peter Jackson has been releasing "The Making Of" videos while he's making the film, so you get to see behind-the-scenes stuff before even a trailer is available. It's pretty bomb diggity. Dwarves! Hobbits! Elves! Dragons! YESSS! That's all for now.Also, it snowed today. Hurray, holidays!
