According to "Deadline", adventurous billionaire
Richard Branson is negotiating to acquire the script for
COLUMBUS written by T.S. Nowlin for his new production company. If he succeeds, infamous director
McG (TERMINATOR SALVATION, CHARLIE'S ANGELS) will helm this epic about the
equally infamous Christopher Columbus and his famous voyage to America apparently in a
Zack Snyder's
300 style.
For some reason,
Ridley Scott's future sf horror project, the prequel to
ALIEN, is a hot topic these days around the net, probably because of the possible stars who might end up starring in this film which Scott wants to make as an R-rated flick.
Natalie Portman was already mentioned as a female Marine general in the film, and the latest possible additions to the cast include
James Franco and the totally unexpected
Anne Hathaway in unknown roles.
I must admit I haven't watched the first
HANGOVER, since such comedies aren't really my cup of tea, but this new detail about its sequel
HANGOVER 2 , coming out next, year is just super hilarious: according to "The New York Post"
Mel Gibson will be playing a Bangkok tattoo artist in it but it still isn't clear whether he would be playing himself as an actor hiding out in Thailand, or if he would be playing a character not at all associated with his own public image. What's even more crazy is that there's another disgraced guy who might appear in the sequel - no other but
Tiger Woods :)
