--- Am I Not Pretty Enough - Turns out that rumor about Robin McLeavy getting the part of Mary Todd Lincoln in Abraham Lincoln Vampire Killer wasn't completely wrong, just a little bit off character-wise - she's going to play Abe's mum. (Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Mary Todd.) If Trent Reznor were still going to be in the movie (he's not) we'd have gotten to see him kill her, the rumor goes. Anyway super-psyched she's getting a role here, even if it's a smaller one. She must get much work!--- Bell Livia - io9 recapped this past Friday's episode of Fringe, which I am an asshole for forgetting to yell at y'all to watch. I'm sure you missed me yelling at you, so pretend I'm doing that here. Do it!
--- Divide This - BD's got a pair of clips from The Divide, which is the new horror flick from the director of Frontier(s), which was a pretty okay movie. Word out of SXSW on The Divide appears to be very good. It stars Milo Ventimiglia, who I was just wondering about the other day, and Michael Beihn, who I just saw be terrible in Take Me Home Tonight. It has to do with survivors of some sort of explosion in NYC trapped in their apartment building's basement.--- Whacks of Axe - Perennial creep Chloe Sevigny (her creepiness is what I like about her, of course) is going to make an HBO miniseries about Lizzie Borden. Awesome! Has a movie been made about Lizzie before? I've never seen one. There was an episode of Friday the 13th: The Television Series that dealt with a wax figure of her coming to life that I remember really vividly though.
--- Alien Boy - Logan Marshall-Greene, aka Marisa Tomei's boy-toy, who kept me from clawing my eyes out during Devil by having those lush lips, has joined the cast of Ridley Scott's Prometheus, as the male lead or love interest or whatever. Not to Michael Fassbender's character, unfortunately. Let's hope that in space no one can keep their shirts on!--- Tick Tick Boom - Where will Thomas Dekker go now that's he's been Gregg Araki's muse, Slant wonders.
--- And finally, here's a behind-the-scenes video of that pleasant shirtless shoot of Alex O'Laughlin that I posted the shots from last week. (via)

"Has a movie been made about Lizzie before? I've never seen one"
Of course there has: The Legend of Lizzie Borden, a made-for-TV movie from 1975 with Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073273/
OMG! How could you not have seen Elizabeth Montgomery give her father 40 whacks and after she saw what she had done, gave her mother 41?
The Legend of Lizzy Borden was a 1975 tv movie and I remember it fondly.
I could find nothing on Netflix.
Elizabeth Montgomery was great, as usual, playing Lizzie.
There also was a great ep of Hitchcock Presents that set forth an alternate suspect for the murders.
Speaking of Friday the 13th: The Series, did anyone else have a huge crush on Ryan?
Finally, b/c I can't wait any longer for you to post Chris Evans news and this to be topical, I PASSED HIM ON THE STREET AFTER MIDNIGHT IN BOSTON LAST WEEK AND SAID "HI"!!!
