The poster for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is backwards. Wait, no it’s not, look at “Christmas.” David Fincher’s film poster is meant to be that way because the character ages backwards! Not sure if that’s going to play to the thick-headed middle. [Defamer]
Mickey Rourke dropped a huge anti-gay slur on a reporter that said he was dating his “The Wrestler” co-star Evan Rachel Wood. Could this hurt his Oscar chances for the highly acclaimed Darren Aronofsky-directed film? Considering he’s still celebrating his “comeback,” it surely can’t help. [E!]
The Weinstien Company is going to put out a concert film of the recently announced Cheech And Chong reunion shows. Who knew they still had dough? (Harvey and Bob, not Marin and Tommy) [Variety]
Dumbest film idea ever? Ridley Scott is going to direct a movie about the Hasbro game, “Monopoly.” He’s apparently going to give it a “futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic ‘Blade Runner.’ Uh, how’s that? You pass go and then moody androids try and take your head off? Dear lord. [THR]
Chevy Chase, Burt Reynolds, Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen and John Melendez are spoofing the retarded wave of spoof films in the upcoming indie comedy “Not Another Not Another Movie.” Umm, guys, a spoof film of a series of spoof films? Guys, this is not helping and is so incredibly meta that at the end of the film the theater is probably going to burn down and explode for anyone that actually sits through this dump of nonsense.
