--- Cover Girl - Seeing Elle Fanning and Neil Gaiman's names first my eyes were certainly grabbed by this news-story that she's set to star in an adaptation of one of his short stories called How To Talk To Girls At Parties, but it wasn't until I saw that it's John Cameron Mitchell who is directing it that I leapt right off the cliff to OH MY GOD YES. He's only made three movies and they're all pretty much masterpieces, so you'd best believe I'm excited. (Although I hope this doesn't keep him from bringing that Hedwig sequel to life on stage, I've been picturing Future-Me sitting in that audience for awhile now.)
--- Big Heart - It's a Ron Howard movie so I'm prone to pessimism right off the bat (understatement) but here's an eensy unclear first glimpse of Chris Hemsworth in that shipwreck movie In the Heart of the Sea that he lost tons of weight for. It's what the word "bedraggled" was invented for.

--- Detect This - Bill Condon's Old Sherlock Holmes movie reuniting him with his Gods and Monsters star Ian McKellen has just started filming and we got the first picture of Ian in character and looking at it all I can think is jeez I want Ian to win a damned Oscar. Has anybody ever won playing Sherlock before? I don't know that they lend themselves to that kind of attention, but if anybody can get Sir Doyle on that train it's Condon, I guess. Oh and Hiroyuki Sanada apparently just joined the cast - you do all have a crush on him right? You should.
--- Universal Horror - It's usually best to adopt an "I'll believe it when I'm buying a ticket for it" attitude with whatever Guillermo Del Toro is spouting off about every day, but this is still a nifty thing to hear - he says that in his downtime from making gigantic robot versus monster movies he's going to make a small black-and-white monster movie with, he hopes, John Hurt in the lead. I would buy a ticket for that!
--- Fresh Scar - I'm currently wrestling with my ability to watch anything with Jonah Hill in it (nope, still haven't seen the 22 Jump Street movie, nope don't have any plans on it til it's on video - sorry Channing) so I'm choosing to ignore his giant face at this link and concentrate on the happy news beside it that Scarlett Johannson is also going to be in the new Coens movie Hail Caesar, the one about 50s Hollywood tabloid hijinks. Think back upon her comedic genius in Don Jon and smile.
--- Everybody's A Winner - I've mentioned the Emmy nominations a bunch today but not properly linked to anybody who actually knows anything about them talking about them so let's fix that - here's the folks at The Wire talking about the good stuff making them happy, and here's them talking about the snubs that make them sad. The happiest thing for me on there is the love for Lizzy Caplan and Allison Janney in Masters of Sex, I think. That show's back this weekend oh my god excited!
--- And finally over at The Film Experience Nathaniel took a look at the under-sung Emmy category of "Outstanding Main Title Sequence," which will probably go to True Detective this year but really should go to the just-mentioned Masters of Sex for its parade hysterical visual intercourse puns. You might notice in the comments of that post I rambled about the titles for David Fincher's Se7en and how influential they are, so here they are to stare at the pretty. God I love them so much.
