Here’s the newest and most standard poster for the upcoming summer blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

This is the first poster that looks like a standard Hollywood movie poster. I still can’t get over the blind replacement of Megan Fox, not that Fox is a good actor, I’m just used to her being in these movies. This movie really looks like a visual feast! Thats why I want to see it, well, also because I’m a bit of an old Transformers fan.

Channing Tatum is set to play a male stripper in an upcoming Steven Soderbergh movie called Magic Mike.

…it draws on Channing Tatum’s own history as a male stripper, though unlike in real life, he’ll play the old veteran who tutors an up and comer on the grinds of working in the industry. Speaking about the project, Tatum issues the following statement, “This was a wild and pivotal time in my life and I couldn’t be more thrilled to go down the rabbit hole with Steven.” A wild time is probably an understatement. The Reid Carolin penned script reportedly features plenty of boozing, women, partying and of course, disrobing.

Since Channing Tatum used to be a male stripper before he hit it big in hollywood, this isn’t much of a stretch for him. Steven Soderbergh is really a hit or miss director for me and the subject matter isn’t exactly something that appeals to me. Needless to say I’m not looking forward to this one. I doubt the masses are either, but Soderbergh rarely tries to appeal to everyone anyway.

Dwayne Johnson has been set to play the country singer Charley Pride in an upcoming biopic.

In an interview with the Telegraph Journal, Charley Pride talked about the film that was in development for some time, in which he would have been portrayed by Terrence Howard under the direction of Craig Brewer.

…But then the ball got fumbled. New management took over the studio that was ready to begin site work on it, and a decision was made to put all their resources behindthrillers – fast actioners. They felt that was where the big box office money was then… Now it’s back on track again but with action and comedy star Dwayne Johnson portraying me in the title role.

Definitely not an actor I would expect to play a country music icon, but clearly Charley Pride is all about it. This isn’t something I’ll be following very closely since I’d never heard of Charley Pride until today, not to mention I’m not a country music fan. Hopefully this will be a breakthrough role for Johnson, but I doubt it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t just dipping his toes back into hollywood, he’s doing a cannonball! Before shooting Terminator 5, he’ll start back with a new film called Cry Macho.

…for his first post-gubernatorial picture, he has picked Cry Macho, a drama to be directed by The Lincoln Lawyer‘s Brad Furman and produced by Al Ruddy, the producer of Oscar-winning movies like Million Dollar Baby and The Godfather. The plan, we’re told, is to shoot as early as this summer…

…The movie is based on the 1975 novel by the late N. Richard Nash (a playwright famous for The Rainmaker, he also wrote the Cry Macho screenplay before he died in 2000). This won’t be a throwback to Arnold’s heyday of silly action flicks: Schwarzenegger is said to want to utilize some acting muscles for his return to the big screen. He will play a damaged-goods horse trainer who’s just been ignominiously put out to pasture by his feckless boss. In exchange for some retirement money, the broken — and broke — horseman agrees to kidnap the boss’s 11-year-old son from his rich Mexican ex-wife. Things take an unexpected turn, however, when the ex-wife is all too glad to be rid of her juvenile delinquent.

I half expected Schwarzenegger to take steps towards some serious dramatic roles, but as everyone can see, he’s sticking to his action roots. I’m glad he’s not trying to do anything too dramatic actually, he’s probably the most definitive action star in the history of movies. Arnie needs to get all that action out of his system anyway, he’s not getting any younger!

Writer of the famed Goosebumps books R.L. Stine‘s It’s the First Day of School…Forever is being set up to become a feature film.

Gotham Group has optioned the rights to It’s the First Day of School … Forever! by Stine, one of the big names in children’s literature, and will develop the title for adaptation into a family adventure movie…

…His latest tells the story of 12-year-old Artie, whose second day at his new school is exactly like his first, which just happened to be the worst day of his life. The boy finds himself reliving the same horrible day and must find a way to change his nightmare.

It’s supposed to be a ‘family adventure’, which definitely fits into R.L. Stine‘s M.O., although I think of his stories more as ‘Steven King for kids’. I get the feeling the title is going to get shortened on this one. I used to like those Goosebumps stories when I was young teen, hopefully this one will be a fun story for everyone, not just the tweens and teens. This very Groundhog Day sounding story will be available in book form this July, with the movie likely to follow in 2012.

Here’s the first poster for the upcoming film Sleeping Beauty.

This movie looks dark and creepy, see the trailer here. This is one of those strange films that doesn’t even pretend to be a possible big hit. It’s good movies like this exist for the people like me who want something strange every now and then. Here’s hoping it’s a good film, not just a shock factor movie.

The tattoo artist who did Mike Tyson‘s face tattoo is suing The Hangover Part II, trying to stop the film from being released.

The Hollywood Reporter first reported the filing of this lawsuit. Here’s the most pertinent information from the document they obtained:

When Mr. Whitmill created the Original Tattoo, Mr Tyson agreed that Mr. Whitmill would own the artwork and thus, the copyright in the Original Tattoo. Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc.—without attempting to contact Mr. Whitmill, obtain his permission, or credit his creation—has copied Mr. Whitmill’s Original Tattoo and placed it on the face of another actor…This unauthorized exploitation of the Original Tattoo constitutes copyright infringement.

According to the report, also attached to the lawsuit itself are several important documents including Whitmill’s copyright registration and a release signed by Tyson granting exclusive rights.

The funny thing is, he’s doing nothing but help promote the movie. The additional press that the movie is getting will be well worth the money they will inevitably pay him. Or it’s possible that they might win and he’ll just have to walk away with the bad image he’s created for himself. The use of the tattoo gag in The Hangover Part II is obviously a big part of Ed Helms‘ story in the movie, and it’s already hilarious. The only thing worse than getting a face tattoo is getting the same face tattoo someone else already has. Too funny.

Sir Ben Kingsley is set to join Sacha Baron Cohen in the upcoming movie The Dictator.

Variety says Kingsley will co-star in the film as “one of two Middle Eastern characters who factor into the plot”. The League‘s Jason Mantzoukas is in negotiations to play the other role…

…In The Dictator, Cohen will play dual roles as a goat herder and a deposed dictator who gets lost in the US. Inspired by Saddam Hussein’s best selling romance novel, Zabibah and The King, the film tells “the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed”. Though it’s not credited as such, it looks to be a sort of modern take on Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, swapping out Hitler for Hussein.

Sounds like a kooky and bizarre comedy, but I expect nothing less from Sacha Baron Cohen. Ben Kingsley is one of the most diverse actors out there, in one movie he can have you crying and in the next laughing. I get the feeling The Dictator is going to be really funny, I’m glad Cohen is steering away from his fake characters in real-life situations to stick with scripted work. The Dictator will be in theaters on May 11th, 2012.

One hunk from The Vampire Diaries may be permanently off the market.

Life & Style is reporting that TVD star Paul Wesley and his girlfriend of three years, Pretty Little Liars actress Torrey DeVitto were married in a secret ceremony today, April 29th.

The two met in 2007 on the set of Killer Movie and according to the report, decided to make it official in a quiet wedding.

Paul has referred to Torrey before publicly as his wife, but it hadn’t been officiated, until now.

Reps from the actors have not responded to inquiries yet, so stay tuned.

If there was ever a day to choose to fly under the radar with marriage news, it would be the same day as Prince William and Kate Middleton’s marriage.

Kate Moss is bare and cheeky for the May cover of Vogue Brasil.

The 37 year-old has a brighter blonde hair color with deep honey undertones and heavily lined eyes for the shoot. Moss is photographed wearing two golden Woman Woman cuffs and nothing else but her tattoos (hidden above.)

She manages to look like Emma Stone, who is almost half her age! Nice work Kate!

Mario Testino photographed Moss in the most flattering of lights while in Sao Paolo on holiday with her daughter, Lila Grace.
