| The WWE, formerly known as the WWF but currently known as a rapidly fading form of entertainment, will be venturing into feature filmmaking with The Marine. WWE Films, the film branch of the wrestling company (duh!), is producing the film, set to star John Cena, a white hip-hop wrestler who is considered a rising star within the company’s wrestling talent. Cena will play a Marine who races against time to save his wife who is being held hostage by a diamond thief. Kelly Carlson, co-star of the edgy TV series Nip/Tuck, will play the Marine’s wife. Unbelievably, the film is not a remake of four different Jean-Claude Van Damme films. |

The next film in the Hannibal Lecter series of films is set to start filming in May. There's a small hitch, though: the book upon which the story will be based isn’t set for release until Fall 2005. The production is set to continue the Hollywood tradition of story taking a back seat to everything else in a film. Tentatively titled Behind the Mask, whose title makes one think that this is a WWE Films production, the film is a prequel to the Hannibal Lecter series of stories and will tell the origin of the loveable psycho-killer cannibal. Thankfully, Ridley Scott won’t be anywhere near this production as Peter Webber, director of Girl With a Pearl Earring, has been tapped to direct the film. Producer Dino De Laurentiis would not confirm the rumors that Lecter would be making a special appearance on Iron Chef in order to promote the movie. |
| Nick Clooney, father of Ocean’s Eleven star George Clooney, failed in his attempt at becoming the congressional representative of Kentucky, George’s home state. Nick, a Democrat and former television reporter, lost to Republican Geoff Davis by a margin of ten percentage points. George Clooney had naturally been supporting his father’s bid with personal appearances and soliciting donations. Inexplicably, Clooney is blaming Ohio for his loss. |
