Did you go see it? What did you think?

I went and saw The Zodiac on Friday.  WOW…that was an AMAZING movie…

Carrie Fisher has topped a new Internet poll to find the Hottest Nerd Crush of all time. The actress’ portrayal of Princess Leia in Star Wars beat Gillian Anderson’s X-Files detective Dana Scully in the new Maxim.com hit list, which focuses on the hottest comic book characters and sci-fi stars.

The top 10 list is:

• 1. Carrie Fisher (Star Wars)
• 2. Gillian Anderson (The X-Files)
• 3. Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix)
• 4. Grace Park (Battlestar Galactica)
• 5. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider computer game vixen)

• 7. Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Voyager)
• 8. Aeon Flux (comic book heroine)
• 9. Jennifer Garner (Alias)
• 10. Natasha Henstridge (Species).

Did your nerd crush make the list?  Sweet picture, by the way.  I’ve got 2 boys…I’ve seen ALL the Star Wars movies at least a hundred times.  I don’t remember the Star Wars where Princess Leia went to the beach.  But maybe I missed that part.

A movie about the less-than-spectacular career of disgraced pop duo Milli Vanilli is set to be produced.

Universal Pictures is developing the movie about the lip-synching combo, who lost their coveted Grammy for best new artist in 1990 when it emerged that they had never sung on their records, Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety reports.

The project will be written and directed by Jeff Nathanson, who previously wrote the Leonardo DiCaprio crime caper Catch Me If You Can.

He has secured the cooperation of Milli Vanilli alumnus Fabrice Morvan, who has been pursuing a comeback for years, as well as the estate of his colleague, Rob Pilatus, who died of a drug overdose in 1998.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the notion of fakes and frauds, and in this case, you had guys who pulled off the ultimate con, selling 30 million singles and 11 million albums and then becoming the biggest laughing-stocks of pop entertainment,” the paper quoted Nathanson as saying.

PS…this is the coolest news I’ve heard in ages.  Rock on!

Plot Summary: On the heels of 2005′s blockbuster “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” writer/director Judd Apatow again mines hilarity from the relatably human in a comedy about a one-night stand with unexpected consequences: “Knocked Up.” Katherine Heigl (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Roswell”) joins Virgin alums Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann for a comic look about the best thing that will ever ruin your best-laid plans: parenthood.

Allison Scott (Heigl) is an up-and-coming entertainment journalist whose 24-year-old life is on the fast track. But it gets seriously derailed when a drunken one-nighter with slacker Ben Stone (Rogen) results in an unwanted pregnancy. Faced with the prospect of going it alone or getting to know the baby’s father, Allison decides to give the lovable doof a chance.

An overgrown kid who has no desire to settle down, Ben learns that he has a big decision to make with his kid’s mom-to-be: will he hit the road or stay in the picture? Courting a woman you’ve just “Knocked Up,” however, proves to be a little difficult when the two try their hands at dating. As they discover more about one another, it becomes painfully obvious that they’re not the soul mates they’d hoped they might be.

With Allison’s harried sister Debbie (Mann) and hen-pecked brother-in-law Pete (Rudd) the only parenting role models the young lovers have, things get even more confusing. Should they raise the baby together? What makes a happy lifetime partnership after all? A couple of drinks and one wild night later, they’ve got nine confusing months to figure it out…

GO HERE TO SEE THE HILARIOUS INTERNATIONAL POSTER… (more…)

Will this movie ever be made?? I’d see it in a heartbeat!

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Warner Bros. Pictures and Silver Pictures are quietly in the process of buying a “Wonder Woman” spec script from newcomers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland, sources said.

The studio and producer Joel Silver have been developing a big-screen rendition of the DC Comics superhero, with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon writing the script and attached to direct.

So why does the studio want another “Wonder Woman” script? Sources said the purchase is a pre-emptive measure aimed at taking the spec off the market to protect itself against the possibility that any similarities between the scripts could be fodder for future legal action. It is understood that the Jennison-Strickland script is set against the backdrop of World War II, while Whedon’s script is set in the present day.

Silver has no interest in making a period “Wonder Woman,” sources said. But as the spec script made the rounds, it landed at Silver Pictures, and executives there were impressed by Jennison and Strickland’s writing.

“Wonder Woman” has long been in the hopper as a feature at Warners, and it went through several writers before Whedon came on board in March 2005. Jennison and Strickland are repped by Underground Films and attorney David Fox. Reps for Warners and Silver Pictures declined comment.

Russell Crowe is set to play the Sheriff of Nottingham in a new film version of Robin Hood. Universal Pictures have lined up the Gladiator star for their take on the classic tale, which will portray the traditionally evil Sheriff as a good character. The project has been devised by Sleeper Cell creators Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris.

Reiff told the Hollywood Reporter website: “Part of the strength of the script was the simple idea of doing ‘Robin Hood’ by making the sheriff the good guy.”

The two scriptwriters were involved in one of the biggest bidding wars of all time as Universal competed with Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema to make the film. Regency Enterprises, DreamWorks Pictures and Columbia Pictures were also said to be in the running.

This will be the fourth project involving Crowe, Universal and Imagine Entertainment. Previous movies include A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man – as well as American Gangster, which is due out later this year. Crowe will reportedly earn around $20 million to play the Sheriff.

From Variety:

Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes are in talks to star in “Mad Money,” a pic to be directed by “Thelma & Louise” scribe Callie Khouri. Nu Millennium and Granada are financing the film. Glenn Gers script, based on British film “Hot Money,” concerns three female employees of the Federal Reserve who plot to steal money that is about to be destroyed. Khouri did a rewrite on the script; pic will shoot in Shreveport, La. The third actress is not yet cast. Holmes, who is making her return to acting after maternity leave, has dropped out of “The Dark Knight,” Warner Bros.’ Christopher Nolan-directed sequel to “Batman Begins.”
