- Jamie Blackley has joined Sullivan Stapleton as “co-lead” in Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ 300 sequel. Shows how far we’ve come that the stars of 300 movie can at last come out as “co-leads.”

- High-in-demand actor Michael Fassbender has added to his ever-expanding future parts list the role of mythic Irish hero Cuchulain, who he’ll play in an adaptation of the sagas of the Ulster Cycle. Why does publicly displaying my penis never work out so well? (via!)

- Children’s Hospital‘s Rob Corddry is in talks to join Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg in the bodybuilding crime film Pain and Gain. The film is planned as Michael Bay’s next project, a low-budget drama Bay will squeeze in before setting to work reconstructing all the toys he beat up during his last playtime.

- Due to delays on Lone Ranger, Dwight Yoakam will no longer be playing the film’s villain, Butch Cavendish. Let Disney know if you can think of anyone else who can convincingly wear a cowboy hat.

- With DreamWorks working on a new version of Rebecca, Paramount figures they’d better get in on this hot Hitchcock remake action, too, and the studio has started work on a remake of Suspicion. But, hey, at least it isn’t a movie based on a YouTube video of a talking dog, right?

- Someone “you’ve seen a lot” is going to DIE on Community this season! And John Hodgman is going to guest star! Not that NBC has given any clue as to when these episodes will actually air. When they do, though, believe me, things will happen. (via!)

- It’s been almost two years since we last heard of progress on a belated sequel to Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal. It turns out that’s because no one is making it anymore.

- Haywire‘s Gina Carano is attached to star in In the Blood, an action-thriller described as being in the vein of Taken. The film is being directed by Into the Blue/Blue Crush/Dark Tide director John Stockwell, so more accurately, it’s probably Taken with Gina Carano in a bikini.

- Okay, ready to hear Taylor Swift pout and “ooh” her way through this Hunger Games thing? Well, regardless…

“Camo shorts? Pssh. 2007 called, Justin.” Because tattooing Jesus’ name in Hebrew on his rib cage apparently wasn’t enough, Justin Bieber now has the face of everyone’s favorite socialist hippie/ironic mascot of modern conservatism tattooed on his calf. Because if there’s one thing Jesus’ eyes should see as they turn upward on the cross, it’s Read More …

Pull out your pens and tablets, because our running tally of Incompetent First-Time Criminal Dark Comic Thrillers Set in Wintery Locales–a list that currently includes Fargo, A Simple Plan, Big Nothing, Ice Harvest, Big White, and probably other things I’m forgetting–has a new entry: Thin Ice, Jill Sprecher’s wintery locale-set comic-thriller about incompetent first-time criminals Greg Kinnear and Billy Crudup. It looks… sort of familiar?

Shame Blockbuster is all but gone. This genre deserves its own section.

As much as he loves continually producing shittier versions of things you once loved, George Lucas is reportedly struggling with his efforts to write another Indiana Jones. With Steven Spielberg throwing him under the bus about how stupid Kingdom of the Crystal Skull‘s crystal skulls were, Lucas is now taking a little more time to decide what fabled object Indy will be searching for. Speaking to Vulture, Lucas revealed he has not yet settled on whatever bullshit trinket will be chased after, saying:

“Actually, I told [Spielberg] I didn’t have it yet. I told him about the story, but I really haven’t found the MacGuffin yet. I mean, I know what it’s about, but I just have to find a MacGuffin that fits into the arena we’re working in.

Well, I’m sure you’ll figure something out, George. And I’m sure, whatever that thing is, it will probably be pretty convenient to sell as a toy. Were there ever some kind of holy, mythical Hulk fist gloves?
