  • In what is probably the only case on record of an oft-voted Sexiest Woman Alive replacing a defensively heterosexual male megastar in a Hollywood thriller, espionage film Edwin A. Salt is being rewritten to star Angelina Jolie instead of Tom Cruise.
  • Does anyone else sort of wonder if this whole Tropic Thunder “retard” protest is actually just an “alternative” marketing thing, paid for by Dreamworks to make the film’s satire look “dangerous”? Although I have to admit, canceling the premiere after party would be going a little far for a campaign…
  • 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 Babel will 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.
