Writer-director Kevin Smith says that Warner Bros. has forced him to change the title of his upcoming Tracy Morgan-Bruce Willis comedy A Couple of Dicks. In a message posted Tuesday on Twitter, Smith said, "While we'll always have Dicks in our hearts, the title we just now locked makes me smile on a bunch of different levels -- including this 1: we can now advertise our movie properly (& ironically). And said marketing begins ... on every print of Sherlock Holmes, Christmas Day!" And the new name? Smith says he can't reveal it, because "it's not My movie, [it's] a movie I was hired to direct.

Production Weekly is reporting that "James Cameron is developing a Shane Salerno-scripted sci-fi action script for Fox, described as an 'event' film set in the future." No other details are available, but most people think the project might be Doomsday Protocol, a film which was announced last year.
James Cameron wasn't mentioned in the initial The Hollywood Reporter announcement, which included the following plot details:
"Plot details are being kept under wraps, but it is known to be an epic science fiction adventure in the vein of The Seven Samurai involving a group of aliens and humans with various abilities who are brought together to save Earth."
In June 2009, it was mentioned in Variety that Salerno was developing a project for Cameron, but no one connected the dots. Shane Salerno, whose credits include Avpr: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem, Ghost Rider, Shaft and Armageddon, crafted the screenplay on spec,

Who is This Year's Miss Golden Globe?

The tradition of Miss Golden Globe goes back nearly half a century -- it's an elaborate Hollywood Foreign Press Association anointment ritual that involves the slaughtering of a fatted publicist as a sacrificial offering to the show business god Nepoteus, followed by the overturning of an awards show gift bag and reading of its scattered swagtents, and culminating, finally, in the announcement of their selection of leggy celebrity progeny to stand mutely on a makeshift stage in the Beverly Hilton ballroom, handing out trophies before a televised audience of millions while trying their best to avoid direct eye-contact with Jack Nicholson, hopped up on prosecco and waving an outstretched pinkie and thumb near his ear, mouthing, "Call me." This year's lucky lady...after the jump.

Kevin Smith’s A Couple of Dicks Gets A New Title; First Trailer This Christmas

Kevin Smith's buddy cop comedy A Couple of Dicks finally has a new title. As you probably know by now, since the start, Warner Bros has been pushing to re-title the film so that they could more easily market the film in all areas. The working title for the film was A Couple of Cops, which I personally thought was horribly uncreative, and completely lacking of the double entendre that made the original title so interesting and funny.
So what is the new title? Well...
we just don't know what it is yet. Here is the announcement from Kevin Smith:
The Movie Formerly Known as A Couple Of Dicks has finally settled on a (network-policy-dictated) replacement title! While we'll always have Dicks in our hearts, the title we just now locked makes me smile on a bunch of different levels - including this 1: we can now advertise

Ayman Abu Aita files $110m lawsuit in Us against actor over Bruno movie
A shopkeeper from Bethlehem who was branded a terrorist in Sacha Baron Cohen's film Bruno is seeking $110m (£67.5m) in damages.
Ayman Abu Aita is suing Baron Cohen, Us talk show host David Letterman and others for libel and slander according to a lawsuit filed in the District of Columbia federal court last week.
The actor and comic Baron Cohen plays a gay Austrian fashion journalist in the film, which was released in the UK in July. Keen to become what he calls "the most famous Austrian since Hitler," Bruno travels to the middle east, and in a short interview with Abu Aita, asks to be kidnapped in an attempt to become famous.
A caption labels Abu Aita as a member of the militant al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, the armed wing of the Fatah movement. He is

More 'Star Wars' Movies On The Horizon?!

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod.
Okay. Calm. My... let's call it my appreciation for "Star Wars" is well-documented on this blog. In addition to my weekly "Clone Wars" recaps, I generally try to grab every single bit of content I can that's in any way related to the classic sci-fi franchise conceived by George Lucas. It's just how I roll.
Never, not in a million years or in a galaxy far, far away, would I ever have dreamed that we might one day see another "Star Wars" movie. Not in Lucas' lifetime, anyway. (see also: "Star Trek") And yet that possibility now exists in this world, thanks to some sleuthing by our pals at Ain't It Cool News.
The slightly-more-than-a-rumor-but-probably-just-a-typo comes from the personal blog of Thomas Dolby, the composer of -- among other things -- the score for "Howard the Duck," a George Lucas classic. (yes, I said classic-- naysayers can kindly

Jennifer Aniston is Adam Sandler's 'Pretend Wife'

When you're Jennifer Aniston, how do you follow up The Baster (still one of the most repulsive rom-com concepts yet) and The Bounty? Why, by marrying Adam Sandler in some kind of quirky, zany, and lovelorn fashion. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Aniston has signed up to star alongside Sandler in The Pretend Wife.
Penned by Allan Loeb (who also wrote Baster) and Tim Dowling, the project is being set up as a Sandler vehicle which means there ought to be some crass jokes in there to liven up the gushy proceedings. Columbia and Happy Madison are staying silent on the plot, but I think you can connect the dots easily enough. Sandler's character needs a wife for a family gathering, a contest, a good hotel rate, a contest, something ... and he asks Aniston. She agrees because there's something in it for her -- perhaps money, contest winnings, or because

"New Moon" stars Christian Serratos and Edi Gathegi appear to be taking their conversations about gummi bear attacks off Twitter and over to a private phone conversation, for whatever that's worth. There may be some obstacles between them and this fated phone call, but they sound like they want to strike out against the odds and make it work.
In more substantive tweets, Paris Hilton has a beef with the delayed police response she says her sister Nicky received after her home was broken into Tuesday. Check out what she posted after the jump along with David Wain's take on Tiger Woods' situation, some behind-the-scenes looks at "Toy Story 3" and the "Up in the Air" DVD and James Gunn's cinematographer's impressive gear. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for December 9, 2009.

After Will (Matthew Morrison) discovered that his wife was not actually pregnant last week, the rest of the glee club's carefully plotted secrets will be revealed during tonight's fall finale. It is almost possible to outline the entire hour's events by glancing at tonight's set list of covers: "Don't Rain on My Parade" by Barbra Streisand, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones, "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls, "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey and "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Take solace in tonight's melodrama knowing that Jane Lynch's Sue Sylvester will probably splash one of her scalding lattes in the face of a student.

Team America: World Police and Avatar Trailer Remix

There’s no escape from the constant mockery of Avatar before its release date (December 18th) as CollegeHumor has a put forward a trailer which uses the audio from the Avatar trailer and combines it with Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Team America: World Police. There are moments where it works far too well. Not perfectly of course as they have two different plots but better than you would expect. Check it out after the jump and wonder if Avatar will be subjected to more mockery before its release or after. I want to place my money on “after” simply because there has to be at least some comedic fodder in its 160-minute runtime.
