Ellen Page to star in lesbian drama?
"On screen, Ellen Page has played a pregnant teen, an X-Man and a dark metaphorical cousin to Chris Hansen. And now she will play one of us. The 21-year-old actress has been attached to the feature film adaptation of Freeheld, the true story of a terminally-ill lesbian's struggle to pass her pension benefits to her partner.Good As You reported on Friday that Cynthia Wade, the director of the Oscar-winning short documentary, was turning her film into a full-length feature with Ellen attached. Based on the life of Laurel Hester, "Freeheld" follows the New Jersey police detective lieutenant's fight after her cancer diagnosis to give her pension survivor benefits to partner Stacie Andree. Ellen would play Stacie.
The prospect of having ac actress as talented as Ellen star in a story as powerful as Laurel's is beyond exciting. In a country where three states just repudiated (and in one just flat-out reversed — dammit, California) our right to marry, a film like this could go a long way to opening people's hearts to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender relationships.Of course, before we start hailing the feature-version of "Freeheld" as the lesbian Philadelphia, the movie needs to get made. Wade has partnered with the producers of Erin Brockovich on the project. But she said it could take one to two years to get the script and — as we all know — a lot can happen in one to two years.
Still, given that Ellen's lesbian teenage werewolf movie has fallen through, this could be our best hope to finally see Ellen hug a woman with her legs in friendship, and then some".Source: www.afterellen.com

Franchises
"Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? When it comes to successful movie franchises, Hollywood doesn't seem to think so. And judging by the billions of dollars earned by the most successful franchises, neither do moviegoers".
Spider-Man
Total Revenue:
$2.5 billion (lifetime worldwide gross)
$1.1 billion (lifetime domestic gross)
$1.2 billion (adjusted)
Years: 2002-2007
Episodes: Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3
Studio: Sony Pictures
"Star Tobey Maguire imbues the character with just enough depth that teenagers can relate to and yet still doesn't look completely ridiculous stomping bad guys". Source: images.businessweek.com
Franco: 'I stole cologne to make money'
"James Franco has confessed that he used to steal bottles of cologne to make money.
Appearing on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, the Spider-Man actor said that he was involved in a scheme to shoplift then sell bottles to classmates in high school.
It's kind of ironic now," said Franco, who endorses Gucci fragrances. "We would go into department stores and they had the testers out there, we were looking for a bit of excitement.
"We had our cologne stealing ring. We would chat up the cologne attendant and then the other would swipe the bottle. We accumulated a huge stash, we would keep it in our lockers. We were in eighth grade so we'd sell it to the seventh graders, we would sell it for $15 - I think it cost about 25 in the shops."

"Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke won't helm the next picture in the Summit vampire franchise.
Hardwicke had until recently been thought a candidate to helm the sequel, titled "New Moon", but word began to circulate in the industry that the relationship between Summit and the helmer has not always been smooth.
On Sunday, Summit confirmed that Hardwicke won't direct the film.
The studio said in a statement that its targeted end of 2009 or early 2010 release of the film does not work with Ms. Hardwicke's required prep time to bring her vision of the film to the big screen. Thus, as has been done before with many successful film franchises, the studio will employ a new director for "New Moon."
The picture, whose start date has not yet been set, will nontheless reunite writer Melissa Rosenberg and actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart".

Over the next five years, Rourke won eight professional fights. ''I'm not the kind that's going to go down real easy,'' he says. ''There ain't no quit in me. I could whack guys out with either hand. I was three fights away from a world title fight and then I failed my neuro [neurological test] so bad they went, 'Mickey, you have to stop now!''' Rourke had taken a beating in the ring, breaking his nose and hands and shattering his cheekbone. When asked if boxing was perhaps a subconscious attempt to destroy the good looks that had made him famous, he pauses to consider the question. Finally, he says, ''There may be some validity to that.''
He knows that even after he's gotten his story out, the Academy may not be ready to embrace a guy who had so much potential and threw it away. But Rourke has always been a fighter. And he won't go down easily. ''Listen, winning an Oscar ain't about performance,'' he says. ''There's a lot of politics involved. So if it's about politics and all that other stuff, that's one thing. But if it's about acting...'' Source: www.ew.com
"A couple days ago, MTV's Splash Page chatted up actor Mickey Rourke at a party for Fox Seachlight and the results of that discussion (which you can read here) seemed to indicate that both Frank Miller and Mickey were ready to go on the long-delayed Sin City 2.
At the junket for Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler in which Rourke gives a heartbreaking performance as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a has-been wrestler trying to go out in a blaze of glory, he told ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! that he's not as gung-ho about returning to play Marv as he might have been last week. "No, I'm not interested in that right now".
Who knows how much of a role Marv would have played in the sequel considering that it was to be based around the mini-series "A Dame to Kill For" but Marv was always kind of in the background even in the stories that didn't feature him, so hopefully, they can work things out".

Sean Penn, one of his best works in "Milk"
"The Most Relevant Film Of The Season" by Peter Sobczynski:
"The other element that elevates “Milk” from other films of its type is the mesmerizing performance from Sean Penn in the title role. Effectively tempering the angry edge that has infused most of his best work over the years, Penn presents us with a version of Milk that replicates the man in ways far beyond approximating his look and vocal cadences. He captures the wit, charm, brashness and vulnerability of the man to such an astonishing degree that at a certain point, we are no longer looking at Sean Penn delivering a performance--for all intents and purposes, we are looking at Harvey Milk. 
Over the years, Penn has given us one indelible performance after another but his work here is some of the best stuff that he has ever done. At the same time, this isn’t a one-man show by any means because the supporting cast is just 
as effective--Brolin’s take on Dan White is just as hypnotic and 
strangely sensitive as his recent turn as George W. Bush, James Franco contributes a sweetly vulnerable performance as Scott 
Smith and Emile Hirsch does such a good job of disappearing into the role of Cleve Jones that I have to admit that I didn’t even realize that it was him playing the role until I saw the end credits.
Funny, touching, angry and filled to the brim with great performances, “Milk” is a wonderful film from start to finish and, as I said before, one that has become even more relevant thanks to recent events in California".

Fitness and Petco store
"Both beginning their respective weeks on separate agendas, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were both spotted flying solo earlier today (January 5).The “Sweet Home Alabama” sweetheart was all about some physical fitness as she and a friend opted for a morning jog in Santa Monica.
Meanwhile, across town the “Day After Tomorrow” hunk ran an errand to his local Petco pet store to pick up an armful of supplies".
