jack the giant killer It seems the gig to score this month is a role in Bryan Singer's film adaptation of the British fairy tale Jack the Giant Killer. Singer is, of course, the man behind The Usual Suspects and X-Men, its sequel and is acting as producer on the forthcoming X-Men: First Class, so if a project bears his name, the talent comes running.

The mythical story follows the kidnapping of a princess that disrupts the long-standing peace between humans and giants, forcing a brave farmer to lead a rescue mission into the giants' kingdom to save the fair lady.

And according to the Hollywood Reporter, Aaron Johnson, Nicholas Hoult and Aneurin Barnard are up for the part of the plucky farmer...

Canadian Poster PREMIERE: The Mechanic

By Andrea Miller | Wednesday, December 01, 2010 | Posters

The Mechanic The old adage "A good mechanic is hard to find" proves to be especially telling in the forthcoming high-octane action flick starring Jason Statham, Donald Sutherland and Ben Foster. The movie comes to Cineplex theatres January 28, 2011 but we've got the PREMIERE of the Canadian movie poster right now!

Helmed by Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), the movie follows Bishop (Statham), a skilled "mechanic" (aka hitman) whose stealth and ability to silently kill has made him the best in the business. But when his mentor Harry (Sutherland) is murdered and the deceased man's eager son Steve (Foster) suggests they band together to avenge his old man, Bishop reluctantly takes on an impulsive protégé.

wesley snipes Actor Wesley Snipes was ordered Wednesday to voluntarily surrender at a federal prison in Pennsylvania next week to start his three-year sentence for failing to pay taxes.

The U.S. Marshal's Office ordered Snipes to report to the Federal Correctional Institution McKean in Lewis Run, Pa. by noon on December 9.

Snipes had tried unsuccessfully to remain free on bail while appealing his conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The 48-year-old star of the Blade trilogy was convicted in 2008 for willful failure to file income tax returns. His attorney, Daniel Meachum, did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

The tourist When a film stars gorgeous creatures like Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, it should come with a heat warning. Brave the flames and dive into this video featurette about Depp and Jolie's upcoming film The Tourist, where the super-hot duo light up the big screen together for the first time.

Depp stars as Frank, an ordinary American - wait for it - tourist visiting Italy who becomes a pawn in Elise's (Jolie) dangerous game, enchanted by her looks though unaware that his life is on the line. And with a face, body, and wardrobe, like hers, who can blame him.

alexis neiers A reality TV star who was jailed earlier this year for burglarizing Orlando Bloom's house has been arrested again after authorities say they found her in possession of black tar heroin.

Probation Department spokeswoman Kerri Webb says Alexis Neiers was taken into custody Wednesday morning after officers went to her home for a compliance check and found the drugs and paraphernalia.

Webb says officers also found Neiers with a Florida driver's licence that showed a false age.

The 19-year-old aspiring model, who was on the E! Entertainment Television show "Pretty Wild," is being held without bail.

In May she was sentenced to 180 days in jail for allegedly being part of the Bling Ring...

tarantino Samuel L. Jackson was serving as roastmaster as the Friars Club honored Quentin Tarantino with a gala event in New York.

Uma Thurman, Brett Ratner, Sarah Silverman, Eli Roth and Harvey Keitel were among the dozen that ripped into Tarantino with venomous humour on Wednesday.

And Tarantino took it like a champ.

Before the event, the enigmatic writer and director wasn't sure if he could be offended.

He said, "I guess we'll find out."

One of the most vitriolic jokes came from comedian Jeff Ross, a regular at celeb roasts, who teased Tarantino about his well-documented tendency to borrow from various genres.

noah baumbach Good news for fans of Greenberg and those who like their stories to be told with aching honesty and bravery - writer-director Noah Baumbach is reuniting with Greenberg star Ben Stiller for While We're Young and he's managed to nab so-in-demand actor-author-Oscar host James Franco for the upcoming film.

Vulture reports that offers have also been made to Cate Blanchett and Stiller's Greenberg co-star Greta Gerwig, whose unfussy, realistic performance in Baumbach's funny and poignant film signalled a move to the big(ger) leagues for the indie darling.

While We're Young details the interaction between a twentysomething Brooklyn couple who inspire an older documentarian (Stiller) and his wife (likely Blanchett if apparent schedule issues can be resolved) to loosen up and start living a more carefree life.


reese witherspoon Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon has been saluted with a star on Hollywood Boulevard.

The Walk the Line actress unveiled her Hollywood Walk of Fame honor on Wednesday outside the W Hollywood Hotel. It's the 2,425th star dedicated on the celebrated avenue.

The ceremony was designed to coincide with the December 17 release of Witherspoon's latest movie, How Do You Know, co-starring Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson and written and directed by James L. Brooks (Spanglish, As Good As It Gets).

In 2006, Witherspoon won the best-actress Academy Award for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk the Line, opposite Joaquin Phoenix as rebel country singer Johnny Cash.
