(Probably Not)Here's a bit of wild speculation about Bond 23 -- or possibly not so wild, depending upon how much faith you place in various online translations and reports. Hint: in this case, be cautious. But let's lay out the steps that have lead some to suspect that the twenty-third James Bond film may be based in part on the most recent Bond novel, and share with it the rather awkward title Carte Blance. (Which is, I have to say, not anywhere near as awkward as Quantum of Solace. And, not being as awkward, it probably won't inspire a very funny song [1] by Attack the Block director Joe Cornish.) Read on for the steps that lead to the speculative conclusion... Bleeding Cool [2] kicks things off by being Google alerted to a story about Serbian cellist Jelena Mihailovic in Blic Online [3], which says that she was hand-picked to "write the opening score »<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8034689560362639790-5384560758207195000?l=movies-today-and-tomorrow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Aneliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10791532438979794070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034689560362639790.post-32272279372716049612011-08-27T07:14:00.000-07:002011-08-27T07:14:40.676-07:002011-08-27T07:14:40.676-07:00Martin Scorsese and William Monahan remaking The Gambler<a href="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI1MTY2OTIxNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNjQ4NjY3._V1._SY140_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI1MTY2OTIxNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNjQ4NjY3._V1._SY140_.jpg" /></a>The Departed team of director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter William Monahan are turning their attention to another remake: 1974's The Gambler. Scorsese aficionados will be unsurprised to learn that the pair want their Departed leading man Leonardo DiCaprio to star. The Hollywood Reporter states that the pair are developing the remake, though taking Scorsese's growing to-do list into account (Silence, The Wolf Of Wall Street), it's not clear when we can actually expect this.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8034689560362639790-3227227937271604961?l=movies-today-and-tomorrow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Aneliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10791532438979794070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034689560362639790.post-73037717615354424582011-08-24T06:04:00.000-07:002011-08-24T06:04:44.091-07:002011-08-24T06:04:44.091-07:00USA Network Gives 'Burn Notice,' 'Covert Affairs' Fall Premiere Dates<a href="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTUxNTAxNzMzMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzYxNDIyNQ@@._V1._SY140_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTUxNTAxNzMzMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzYxNDIyNQ@@._V1._SY140_.jpg" /></a>USA Network announced Tuesday that "Covert Affairs" and "Burn Notice" will return with new episodes in November.

Joe: Retaliation'<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://photos-de-stars.p.h.pic.centerblog.net/o/1ab70ccc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://photos-de-stars.p.h.pic.centerblog.net/o/1ab70ccc.jpg" width="142" /></a></div>Hardly a big revelation, the report that Bruce Willis is negotiating to play the original G.I. Joe, Joe Colton in Paramount's G.I. Joe: Retaliation. This courtship has been going on for about six weeks or more, and Deadline was the first to tell you that Willis was the guy that Paramount was chasing for the Colton role way back on July 1. That was when we broke news that Friday Night Lights' Adrianne Palicki had been cast as the female lead by director Jon M. Chu. At the time the studio claimed that Willis wasn't the only actor being eyed, but I've only heard his name for that role and I believe the conversation was always with Willis. He has time to squeeze this in before gearing up for another Die Hard, with the studio about to set a director from a short list of Attack the Block's Joe Cornish.<br />

Leonardo DiCaprio tops the list with an estimated $77 million earned between May 2010 and May 2011, while Johnny Depp, who topped the list last year with $75 million, dropped to second place with about $50 million. “Both actors have achieved wealth and fame by making some unusual choices with their careers,” the magazine observed. Forbes‘s estimates are based, it said, on discussions with agents, lawyers, producers and other industry insiders and represent pretax gross income before payment of management, agent and attorney fees. While versatility has paid off for DiCaprio and Depp, sticking to a familiar character put Adam Sandler on the Forbes list at No. 3 with $40 million. “As long as Sandler sticks to playing a stunted adult his films are huge hits,” it noted. “But when Sandler strays his films tend to flop.” Others members of Forbes‘s top ten: 4. Will Smith, $36 million; 5. Tom Hanks, $35 million; 6. Ben Stiller, $34 million; 7. Robert Downey Jr., $31 million; 8. Mark Wahlberg, $28 million; 9. Tim Allen, $22 million; 9. (Tie) Tom Cruise, $22 million.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8034689560362639790-8086090977136689128?l=movies-today-and-tomorrow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Aneliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10791532438979794070noreply@blogger.com3
