'Avatar' Re-release With New Footage In The Works & 'Win Win' And 'Hall Pass' Get Supporting Casts

Director James Cameron and Fox are discussing plans to bring “Avatar” back to 3D theaters later this summer. The re-release would potentially boast about 10-12 minutes of new footage for a film that’s already way too long. Cameron claims that the film lost “a couple hundred million dollars” when it was booted off screens to make room for “Alice In Wonderland” and Fox and the director are trying to milk their cash cow for all its worth.

In addition to confirming what we already knew a month ago — that Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan are starring in Tom McCarthy’s wrestling pic “Win Win” — Variety have announced that Melanie Lynskey, Bobby Cannavale and Jeffrey Tambor have joined the cast. In the film Giamatti plays “plays a struggling attorney who moonlights as a high-school wrestling coach. All aspects of his complicated life are thrown up in the air when he becomes the legal guardian of a client whose grandson shows up on the doorstep.” Shooting starts next week in New York City.

The Farrelly Brothers “Hall Pass” cast keeps growing. Richard Jenkins and Bruce Thomas are to set to join Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Jason Sudeikis, Christina Applegate, and Alyssa Milano in the comedy about two husbands who are permitted by their wives to pursue extramarital affairs.

Director Phillip Noyce is set to direct “Wenceslas Square.” Based on the short story by Arthur Phillips, the film “revolves around a young CIA officer and a beautiful Czech spy.” The film has been fast-tracked and is set to be tackled by Noyce once he wraps post-production on the Angelina Jolie action pic “Salt.”

The once interesting-turned-hack director Jonas Åkerlund has helmed the latest video, “Telephone,” for Lady Gaga. We’re not embedding it for you as you will have to take full responsibility for clicking here and watching it yourself. We didn’t make it the whole the way through.
