Helen Mirren’s husband will direct a film about Tennessee Williams’ dysfunctional childhood. The Cloverfield guy will produce a movie about an earthquake. The Japanese girl from Babelwill star as an undercover hit woman in the next film from Isabel Coixet.
I’d wondered if the “Tropic Thunder” protests were alternative marketing of some kind. I would only see the film if someone paid me, so I’ll likely never figure out how “offensive” Stiller and the boys have been.

Ms. Jolie is the [wo]man. Seriously, is there anything she can do that a man can do better? I’m not so sure anymore.
