RDJ and Tina Fey - Master Mind

"I can hardly think of an actorly pairing that would get my geekiness a tingling as much as Robert Downey, Jr. and Tina Fey. That's just maybe two of my five favorite people right now (and keep in mind that I'm on that list somewhere too). Lucky for me, Hollywood is still using high frequency radio waves to tap into my thoughts and a Robert Downey, Jr./Tina Fey pairing is in the works. RDJ and Fey are in talks to voice the lead characters in the upcoming DreamWorks animated film MASTER MIND. The film would follow a supervillain (Downey, Jr.) who lapses into an existential crisis after he accidentally kills his arch nemesis. It's unclear what character Fey would be voicing at this point. The movie would reunite RDJ with his TROPIC THUNDER pal Ben Stiller, who's producing the movie for DWA. DreamWorks currently has MASTER MIND set for a fall 2010 release and the film is being prepped in 3-D".
Extra Tidbit: Downey, Jr.'s son is a huge fan of "Family Guy" so RDJ recorded a character for an episode in 2006".

Facebook Movie

"Aaron Sorkin, a man whose discomfort with the Internet goes way, way back to the days he got angry at the Television Without Pity message boards, is writing a movie about the founding of Facebook. Sorkin has created a Facebook group for "Aaron Sorkin & the Facebook Movie" on which Sorkin (or is it his assistant?) (or is it someone pretending to be his assistant?) writes:

I've just agreed to write a movie for Sony and producer Scott Rudin about how Facebook was invented. I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I've started this page. (Actually it was started by my researcher, Ian Reichbach, because my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she's been dead for 33 years.)

Facebook Sorkin seems pretty legit: He's answering questions about his life and work, posting photos of himself playing tennis, cracking Sorkin-y jokes. But is it real? Over on the message boards, a collection of journalists are leaving plaintive requests for someone, anyone, official to contact them.

But in an e-mail to Vulture, producer (and former Vulture boss) Scott Rudin has confirmed that this is indeed Sorkin, and that Sorkin is indeed writing a Facebook movie for Sony.

What on earth will Sorkin's Facebook movie be like? We guess we're glad he's learning what Facebook is before he writes it, although we're sad he'll never know the glory that was Scrabulous. And how will the master of guys walking down hallways and talking write scenes of guys IMing each other for hours?"

"Sex Drive" Trailer

"Time for some red band action (boom-chicka-wah-wah) from the upcoming teen sex comedy, Sex Drive. Also check out two exclusive stills featuring Seth Green as an Amish mechanic and James Marsden in the strangest role of his career to date!

In the grand tradition of '80s road comedy The Sure Thing and all things National Lampoon, Sex Drive tells the tale of one horny teenager named Ian (Josh Zuckerman) who, desperate to lose his virginity before college classes begin, embarks on an interstate quest to meet the girl of his dreams -- the sexy, mysterious Ms. Tasty, whom he met over the Internet. Along for the ride are his friend-who's-a-girl, Felicia (Amanda Crew) and his BFF, Lance (Clark Duke), but hot on his trail is his mean-tempered older brother (James Marsden), who really wants his prized vintage Pontiac GTO back. We've also got two exclusive stills from the film right here, featuring Lance (Clark Duke) and his Amish homie Ezekial (Seth Green), and a closer look at hyper-masculine meathead Rex (James Marsden, in a fearless, driven performance).

"Be my angel" (Mazzy Star)

Michael Cera ("Be my angel")

Peter Sarsgaard in "The Seagull"

"Peter Sarsgaard, who steps into Chekhov’s The Seagull this fall as Trigorin, the amoral writer who drives one character to ruin and another to suicide, is talking about his visit to a communal retreat in California not too long ago. He was doing research for “something I’ve been writing for a long time”—something “like a screenplay.” He came across a mission statement for the group’s school that instructed teachers, when breaking up a fight, to ask the victim a question they’d normally put to a bully: “Why you?”

It’s a question, implying that victims share responsibility, that Sarsgaard would like to ask Chekhov’s characters. “Nina, why you?” he asks, referring to the young ingénue corrupted by Trigorin, in a warm but slightly sinister Waspy drawl reminiscent of John Malkovich. “Does everything just happen to you, or do you make things happen in your life?” Trigorin, Sarsgaard insists, is “doing exactly what he wants. Some people pursue things they think they’re interested in, and they’re actually not. They’re living in a dream world.”
In a way, Sarsgaard, 37, is an exemplar of anti-ambitionism. He lives pretty quietly, in Brooklyn, with (as everyone knows) Maggie Gyllenhaal and their nearly 2-year-old daughter. He’s never tried to carry a blockbuster, saying “in order to be the lead in a $100 million movie, you have to want to be.” He concedes that The Dark Knight, in which his wife co-starred, is an exception: “You see Heath Ledger’s performance and you go, well, there’s somebody who shows that it’s possible to be an enormously amazing actor in the middle of a franchise.” Yes, but … “I see that movie and I see a man who is happy acting—it looks like he’s tap-dancing. The part does not destroy the actor, ever, if they’re good. That had absolutely nothing to do with what happened to him.”

Sarsgaard, meanwhile, likes playing his characters off to the side: the gung-ho sniper in Jarhead, the canny editor in Shattered Glass, the gravedigger in Garden State, the charismatic foil in the forthcoming Mysteries of Pittsburgh. He got the part of Trigorin, his first on Broadway, after co-starring in a Nick Hornby movie with Carey Mulligan, who is playing the victimized Nina. Mulligan had asked him to recommend possible Trigorins, which he did—whereupon director Ian Rickson tossed out Sarsgaard’s list and hired the list-maker, who is quick to add that he had not pulled a Cheney and suggested his own name. Rickson says he aimed to cast a younger and more energetic actor than is customary. “The virility of Trigorin, and his attachment to nature, his sexuality, his vibrancy, I feel is a really important thing,” he says. “Young actors who are very masculine and have that soulfulness are very hard to find.”


It’s a good thing Rickson is open to new interpretations, because while Trigorin comes off on the page as alternately oblivious, self-absorbed, and manipulative, Sarsgaard sees him much the way he sees himself: flexible, open, disdainful of convention. “I guess I have a tendency to take on a lot of orphans,” he says. “I feel like I’m protecting people—protecting maybe parts of myself that I think are valid, and that people could judge.”
