Eminem to Return to Film With New 3-D Project

Other producers on the film include John Davis (I, Robot) and Dallas Jackson.
Natalie Portman Talks About Sex Scene with Mila Kunis

So the rumor has been that Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman engage in a steamy sex scene in Darren Aronofsky's upcoming film, "Black Swan." Speaking with V Magazine recently about the film, Portman pretty much confirmed the rumors, although she argued the semantics.
She said:
"It's not raunchy - it's extreme."
That doesn't really give us much to go on, but there's a good chance the scene involves nudity. Both Portman and Kunis have gone nude on camera before, so it wouldn't be anything new for either of them. The only difference is, Portman says she is more open to it now than she was earlier in her career.
Portman explained:
"Previously I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it's weird to be doing stuff on film as you're figuring it out. Also, being a sexual object when you're a kid is really uncomfortable."
Whether this scene simply helps market the film or actually adds to it remains to be seen.

Michael Jackson: This Is It. Isn't It?

The pale flesh of prodigious pop icon bearing boxed chin acicular nose whispy mane flowing over tinted-windshield eyes and pencil smile drawn lobe to lobe. Sportcoat grey and blue metallic sprawled over top crimson clustered button-down and vintage tommy-gun trousers. Spirit risen of Samhain lore, figure stares into blinding light like morning sunshine pouring over a mountainside; silhouette enveloped in white heat perspiration phlebotomize one last time. This, so they say, is It.
Upcoming documentary, Conflict: The Power Of Propaganda shows us what's going on in The Middle East
In the new film, Conflict: The Power of Propaganda; director Chris Atkins goes behind the headlines and past the media bias against Israel to present a fair and realistic picture of what is currently occuring in the Middle East. The fast-paced documentary exposes the rampant propaganda and challenges viewers to recognize the calculated deception and its ties to both extremism and terrorism on a global scale.
“As an outsider, as a non-Jew, it was important to me to make this film because someone had to give Israel a fair ‘voice' in the media,” says executive producer Joe Amaral. “Israel has always been on the defensive when it comes to the media—always having to apologize for protecting its citizens from terrorist attacks and enemy nations.”
Conflict: The Power of Propaganda presents an unbiased look at a variety of issues that affect the region, including proposed “land for peace” deals, what history has to say about Israel's borders, how the Six Day War was a miracle from start to finish and how the security fence is both the most humane and effective measure to prevent terrorism.

In the scene, Samantha Jones wants to look "hot and young", and winds up on a red carpet with Cyrus wearing the exact same dress. Samantha's sidekick Anthony thus yells out "Mother of God. She is wearing the same dress as Hannah Montana." This is followed by embarassment and possible cat fights.
The leaked scene has not yet been shot, but MTV reports that it will be filmed on October 16th. However, fans will have to wait to see if it makes the cut when the film debuts in May 2010.
Diablo Cody to Turn "Sweet Valley High" Books into Movie

Francine Pascal's well-loved series of young adult novels - Sweet Valley High - will be made in a feature film. Diablo Cody, the Oscar winning screenwriter of "Juno" and "Jennifer's Body" has agreed to write and adapt the novels, which Pascal first began to write in 1983, for the big screen.
The Sweet Valley High book series follows the lives of the popular blond Wakefield twins - Elizabeth and Jessica - at Sweet Valley High School in the fictional town of Sweet Valley, California. The series eventually went on to produce over 150 books. The final book in the series, Sweet Valley University, was published in 2003. There were also several spin-off series, and the books were made into a TV show that ran from 1994 to 1997.
Universal is still in talks with the publisher, Random House, to acquire the rights to the series. Therefore, there are not yet any details on who may play the Wakefield twins.
Renee Zellweger to Don a Fat Suit

The popular Bridget Jones film franchise will soon become a trilogy, as producers get ready to begin filming a third installment. Renee Zellweger, however, will be doing something a little differently this time around. Instead of actually eating to gain weight to play the role of the pleasantly plump Bridget Jones and then starving herself to get thin again when filming is finished, this time she will reportedly slip into a fat suit.
For the 2001 and 2004 films she indulged in a high-fat diet. But apparently the weight didn't come off quite as easily the last time, and being older one can't help but wonder how much more difficult it might be this time. In addition, Zellweger has also been warned of the negative health consequences of such yo-yo dieting.
A souce told the UK's "Reveal" magazine:
"Renee will be wearing a fat suit in the third film as it took her a while to lose the weight last time. She's also thinking about the effect quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds has on her body."
Also returning to the film are Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. The premise of the movie is rumored to be Jones' quest to have a baby in her 40s.
