| Sony Pictures has paid a shocking amount of money for a script pitch currently titled Fetch. The project is being handled by television writer Jeff Lowell, a man whose credits include classics such as Inside Schwartz and Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane. Quality is job one for this man. The project is being described as “Look Who’s Talking but with a dog instead of a baby.” Helpful hint for Sony Legal: BOP is pretty sure that film already exists. It was called Look Who’s Talking Now. You should probably look into it on IMDb. |

One of the Miramax crew fleeing off the sinking ship that is the studio’s relationship with Disney has set up a new production company. Former Miramax senior VP Rick Schwartz, the executive producer of Academy Award frontrunner The Aviator, plans to produce a new project for his old bosses called Timothy. The film will star Jimmy Fallon. We’re just going to stop right there in describing it and wash our hands of the whole thing. Going from a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio to one with Jimmy Fallon makes us hope that Schwartz got his mortgage paid off after The Aviator. The next well is already dry. |
| Best Supporting Actress nominee Virginia Madsen plans to continue her recent resurgence by co-starring in The Wrong Element. Her male lead here will be Harrison Ford. This opens up a world of debate over whether she is upgrading or downgrading from her most recent love interest, Paul Giamatti. Is she better off with an ugly 37-year-old who looks 60 or a formerly handsome 64-year-old who looks 206? A guest spot on The L Word has to look more and more tempting every day. |

Angelina Jolie received some great news this week. She has been added to the cast of Robert De Niro’s second directorial effort, The Good Shepherd. Jolie joins Jason Bourne himself, Matt Damon, on the project. The bad news for Jolie is that Damon is currently single. That means De Niro’s wife, Grace Hightower, has been voted Most Likely to Overhear Her Man Having Phone Sex with a Filthy Trollop in 2005. Congratulations, Grace! You and Jennifer can do a photo-op for TV Guide in November. Make sure to practice your Sad and Bitter face. |
