-“Fresh Prince Of Bel Air” star Will Smith is going to try to fill the mighty shoes of one Marky Mark Wahlberg in inappropriately reprising a classic Cary Grant role. Sir Funky Bunch flopped with “The Truth About Charlie” based off “Charade,” and now, according to the self-loathing latinos, Smith is set to produce and star in a “Suspicion” remake. The original featured Jane Fontaine as a woman who suspected her new beau may be a killer. No talent is attached yet, though knowing Smith’s choice of directors, that may forever be true.
–Mike Vogel (“Cloverfield“) has confirmed a screen test for “The First Avenger: Captain America,” though he’s just one of six recent candidates, a field that is likely to grow even bigger. The recent rumors that the “Captain America” production is being delayed to jettison Joe Johnston are, unfortunately, false.
–/Film has a superb interview with composer Harold Faltermeyer regarding his fun throwback score to “Cop Out,” his first bigscreen gig since 1992’s “Kuffs.”
-“Brothers And Sisters” creator Greg Berlanti is rumored to be taking the helm of WB’s “The Flash,” according to IESB. Berlanti was an original writer on the “Green Lantern” script and at one point was in talks to direct. Berlanti’s other credits include the gay romance “The Broken Hearts Club,” the Katherine Heigl romcom “Life As We Know It” and oh god he might not be right for this movie at all will he?
-Slightly more ridiculous, IESB seems to suggest the brothers Nolan have fairly incriminating photos of Warner Bros. execs. In a fairly ambitious unconfirmed story, they posit that Jonah Nolan has been learning under brother Chris and will take the helm of the planned “Superman” reboot. Said Supes film, which would be accompanied by a third “Batman” adventure, would then lead to Christopher Nolan‘s “Justice League.” Rumors are further unconfirmed that little-known third brother Ignatius Nolan will handle the catering for all three films. Buyer beware.
