Cap'n Jack Sparrow set to tour 'Sin City'
Johnny Depp. Antonio Banderas. Sin City. Sentence fragments dramatic. The phrase "historically significant" gets bandied about all too often these days, but possibilities like this indeed warrant its usage. According to Robert Rodriguez, director of the first Sin City, Banderas might appear in Sin City 2 and Depp is penciled in for the third. Interestingly enough, Depp originally expressed intent to portray Benicio Del Toro's Jackie Boy in the first installment, but opted to do The Libertine instead. Contemporary scholars have subsequently characterized the move as "totally not cool [man]."
Don't like 'Apocalypto' ? 'F- off.'
"Lady, f- off." This is what Mel Gibson reportedly told an assistant professor of Central American studies at Cal State Northridge to do when said lady alleged Apocalypto was, you know, racist and stuff. With a sterling track record of cultural sensitivity to his name, Gibson was understandably shocked, hence the colorful (or as Gibson described it, "colorless, in that I do not see color but instead a hedonistic rejection of the Lord and savior") language. The heckler was then removed from the lecture Gibson was delivering to film students who wanted to learn how to do that thing he did with his shoulder in Lethal Weapon 2. That part was made up. The following is not: Gibson reportedly yelled at several indignant Mayans who were also escorted from the premises to "Make [their] own movie!" Had they been given the opportunity to respond, they probably would have either said that their comparative lack of shoulder elasticity proved prohibitive in that regard or they would not have dignified him with an answer.
Scorsese, DiCaprio, and howling
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio plan to collaborate next in The Wolf of Wall Street. Wolf will document a business tycoon who spent 20 agonizing and miraculously shiv-incident-free months in a prison that probably got the Oxygen Network on TV and served something called "quiche." Like DiCaprio's earlier Catch Me If You Can, the film will prominently feature a criminal's relationship with an FBI agent. Unlike DiCaprio's previous efforts, however, the character will probably not infiltrate the mob as a cover to sell diamonds illegally to fund the airplanes needed to get off a sinking cruise liner. While Brad Pitt was initially rumored to star, he ultimately decided to spend more time with the four children his girlfriend adopted while he was reading the script.
