Remember how yours truly has recently noticed a rather unpleasant trend of big stars taking roles in mediocre B-league action and cop flicks? Well, it's happening again: as "The
Hollywood Reporter" reveals,
Gerard Butler will become
THE BRICKLAYER, in the story which centers on a former FBI agent who is brought back into the bureau to help take down a dangerous criminal group. These criminals are extorting money from the bureau and know far too much about the inner workings of the FBI.
Gerard Butler will take the role of the former agent who became a Chicago bricklayer after leaving the FBI. Before Butler starts laying bricks, we shall watch him in MACHINE GUN PREACHER the film I
mentioned before, and in
CORIOLANUS with which he might try to steal an Oscar nomination?
SHORT HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES
After last week's mega success SMURFS will get a sequel in summer 2013! Popular 80's classic DIRTY DANCING is getting a new remake directed by Kenny Ortega, the creator of the iconic choreography from the original film!

the trailer also gave a rather poor impression last month) for

Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard ... The chilling story follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical
