I Am Link

.

--- Mag Men - We know that Dane DeHaan and Robert Pattinson have been filming that James Dean movie for awhile now (hell we've already gotten an official picture of the two of them in it) but that's not stopping new people from being cast in the film - on Friday it was announced that Joel Edgerton will be in the movie too, playing Pattison's editor at LIFE magazine (the movie's about Pattinson's character photographing Dean, played by DeHaan, on a road-trip). And hey look we already have pictures of Joel on the set! The world works fast.

--- Calm The Storm - There are rumors bouncing around that Halle Berry's role as Storm has been reduced to a glorified cameo in the new X-Men movie, which I agree would be awesome - but it seems that's all this is. That is, a collective wish the internet is making that we can be done with her lousy take on the character. Team Lupita!

--- Yellow Fever - Over at The Film Experience Nathaniel tackled Denis Villenueve's twisty new film with Jake Gyllenhaal called Enemy; I reviewed it awhile back too but I kept that spoiler-free and I really want to write up something of a spoilery nature now that I've seen it a second time, getting into what I think it's all about, so if I can find the time keep your eyes peeled for that.

--- Meat Dress - A movie is being developed about the therapist who treated the real-world inspiration for Buffalo Bill, the killer from The Silence of the Lambs. (You know, the one not naked Hannibal Lecter.) I actually don't know anything about this creep, so I'm gonna go fall down a rabbit hole now; expect me to have nightmares tonight.
.

--- Sex Dad - I guess this means we won't be seeing a whole lot more of Nicholas D'Agosto's beautiful bared bum and side-part (in that order) on Masters of Sex, but we will be seeing him in his new venture, since he's joined the cast of Greta Gerwig's upcoming sitcom How I Met Your Dad. I am super wary of this project, so I hope they prove my fears unfounded. Adding Nick is a nice way to start.

--- Claws Retracted - Sure enough Hugh Jackman's talk of aging out of playing Wolverine was only talk, or at least very far future speculation, because he's already trying to sell us on another character-centric movie to come out in 2017 or 2018. He'll be reteaming with The Wolverine director James Mangold on it. Whoopty doo.

--- Go Lowe - Today is the 50th birthday of Rob Lowe and I'm sure I won't have time to lavish on him so it's a good thing Nathaniel did so over at The Film Experience, giving us A History Of. That man has lived a life and a half. I suppose I might as well link to those pictures of him in a jockstrap and beyond since we're here though, right? Right.

--- Spies Like Them - Superbad director Greg Mottola is making Keeping Up With the Jonseses next, which will star Jon Hamm and Zach Galifinakis as neighbors who discover the other one's family are government spies. (No word on who's the spy and who's the non-spy.) Who should play their wives? Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy seem fairly obvious - probably too obvious, I think. And MM is making a spy movie already. There are tons of under-used funny ladies out there besides them anyway. I mean just cast the other two in Bridesmaids - Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne. Done.
