Vince Vaughn Is The Proud Father Of 533 In 'Delivery Man'

Vince Vaughn has had a rough few months. First, his reunion with fellow "Wedding Crasher" Owen Wilson, "The Internship," wasn't so hot, and now in the trailer for his newest comedy, "Delivery Man," he finds out that thanks to a clerical error, he is the father of 533 children, all of whom are suing to find out his identity.

The trailer is pretty standard fare. Vaughn is given a file that contains the identities of all his children that he isn't supposed to look at but uses to surreptitiously help them all out in various ways. It looks like it has some heart, which might be a nice change of pace.
What really has us excited is Chris Pratt in the role of Vaughn's lawyer buddy. On TV, Pratt is consistently one of the funniest elements of "Parks and Recreation," and now that we're seeing him cross over into film with movies like "Zero Dark Thirty" and next year's "Guardians of the Galaxy," we're hoping to see a lot more of Andy Dwyer.

Lives Up to the Title Perfectly
Topic: Movies
It's Fast! It's Furious! It's Number 6 in the franchise! It's dumber than a box of rocks, or maybe an avalanche of rocks on speed. It's pretty much a live-action remake of Cars II. Vin Diesel and The Rock are fun to watch, but you can only take so many physically impossible car stunts and physiologically impossible fights. Use this link to watch the film http://watchfastandfurious6onlinefreefullmovie.com/ .I picture this film being used as a cure for ADHD the way the character in A Clockwork Orange was cured of violence. "Oh, look, something shi- Nooo! Not the London street race scene again!" Supervillain Owen Stark is collecting the components for a superweapon that can black out a whole country. Why the components are scattered instead of assembled is never made clear. The last item is a computer chip which, instead of being hidden in a desk drawer or just smashed with a hammer, is transported to a new location in a heavy carrier containing, for some reason, a tank. Stark and his baddies steal the tank and smash a lot of cars. They are captured but it can't be that easy, can it? No, it's not. They've had other henchmen take the wife of one of Vin Diesel's guys hostage. So now we have another car chase, plus a plane chase, plus boarding the plane through the loading ramp, plus three or four simultaneous fights, followed by a plane crash. Oh, look for a Jason Statham crossover next time.

Sunshine Sachs Principals Ken Sunshine, Shawn Sachs Start Offshoot Production Shingle For Film, TV, Digital

I’ve seen PR companies become part of ad agencies, and I’ve seen management companies become generators of film and TV content. But here’s a new one on me — a publicity firm branching full scale into the production business. Sunshine Sachs’ principals Ken Sunshine and Shawn Sachs, who do PR for a great client list that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Jason Statham, Natalie Portman, Tommy Mottola and Tyler Perry, have launched Madica Productions. This is a sister company that aims to be a full-service development and production house. Madica will develop content for digital, TV and film platforms, with a slate that will include nonscripted and digital content stemming from the firm’s diverse lineup of clients. The managing director of the spinoff company will be Jeff Tahler, who joined the firm as a partner after a six-year run as FremantleMedia SVP Acquisitions and Development for its Global Content Division.
Tahler oversaw the creation of Fremantle’s scripted studio and acquired programming that included Project Runway, The Apprentice, Oprah’s Big Give, No Reservations With Anthony Bourdain and Bellator MMA. Tahler also developed, produced, and funded scripted television projects, working with producers to sell over 25 projects. FremantleMedia’s first scripted show, The Wedding Band, premiered on TBS in November 2012. Prior to Fremantle, Tahler worked for eight years at Miramax Films in New York in posts that included VP Acquisitions and founder of the Family & Kids division, which he ran for three years.The idea is that a diversified PR agency brings in clients that are feeders to potential programming. With so many outlets available, why not help generate the actual programming?
“Madica Productions will offer another avenue for our clients and colleagues to tell stories that entertain, inspire and innovate,” said Sachs, CEO of Sunshine Sachs. “Under Jeff’s guidance, we look forward to developing Madica into an incubator for cutting-edge, smart, exciting content – the type of substance that has always inspired us during our day-to-day work at Sunshine Sachs.”
Said Tahler: “I have known both Shawn and Ken for my entire career and greatly admire what they have built over the years. When the three of us started discussing the vision for Madica, I quickly realized that this was an extraordinary opportunity to work alongside a dynamic team. We are eager to develop and produce the type of content that reflects our wide range of passions and interests. Today that can be anything from a short form digital series to a big budget feature film, and we will be developing stories for all platforms.”

Nik Wallenda’s Historic Skywire Walk A Social Media Score For Discovery

Too bad social media wasn’t around in Evel Knievel’s day. Tightrope walker Nik Wallenda and his 1,400 foot “Skywire” scoot 1,500 feet over the Grand Canyon sans safety harness drew a flurry of online action for Discovery Channel Sunday night. During a post-walk Wallenda interview with the Today Show‘s Willie Geist and Natalie Morales, the network revealed that the feat, broadcast live in the US and 223 countries, generated 40,000 Tweets per minute, 700K Tweets in total, and 1.5M streams on Discovery.com. Even CNN‘s Piers Morgan was impressed. Tweeted @PiersMorgan: “Now THIS is cable news #skywire.”

2ND UPDATE: Charlie Sheen Fired Selma Blair From ‘Anger Management’ Via Text, Show To Continue Production As Scheduled

I’ve learned more details about Selma Blair‘s shocking dismissal from Anger Management. I hear Charlie Sheen “fired” her via text, in which he called the actress a “c–t”. And it was not the only abusive, expletives-filled text she had received from Sheen, who also serves as an executive producer on Anger Management. I also hear that Blair was not the only memCharlie Sheen Selma Blair Anger Management Feudber of the show’s cast and crew that was frustrated by Sheen’s work habits as I hear they would often sit and wait for hours for him to show up for work. Although it was Blair voicing her concerns that got Sheen to flip out and get her sacked. I hear Blair’s role as Charlie’s therapist will not be recast. Probably not coincidentally, I hear the series just sent out a notice about a new female regular who is expected to fill the void left by Blair. The producers likely will use Blair’s exit for another creative makeover following the recent tweaking following Anger Management‘s sagging ratings. But, while the show took an unplanned hiatus for the recent creative retool, it is now expected to stay in production as scheduled, with the writers making changes prompted by Blair’s departure on the fly. Anger Management is roughly halfway through its 100-episode order from FX. As for Blair, word is that she is being paid per her contract and no legal action is in the cards, at least not for now.
UPDATE TUESDAY 5:15 PM: What Charlie Sheen wants, he gets. After mounting a campaign to get his co-star on the FX comedy series Selma Blair fired over alleged comments questioning his work ethic, it’s mission accomplished for Sheen, who reportedly threatened to quit the show if Blair stayed. Anger Management producer Lionsgate just issued a statement, making Blair’s dismissal from the show official. “We are confirming that Selma Blair will not be returning to Anger Management, and we wish her the very best.”
PREVIOUS MONDAY PM:  The producers of FX‘s Anger Management and reps for Selma Blair are hunkered down today trying to patch things up following a scathing TMZ report posted in the middle of the night that series star and executive producer Charlie Sheen was dead set on firing his co-star over alleged complaints about Sheen she had made to other Anger Management producers. There is no official word on Blair’s status on the show with everyone involved keeping mum, but in a recent tweet posted on the show’s first day back from a monthlong hiatus for creative tweaking in light of the recent ratings slump, Blair was more than complimentary of Sheen: “Thanks for a great day back . You looked pretty darn handsome.“
This is a move brimming with irony, starting of course with the name of the show as the dismissal attempt reportedly stemmed from Sheen getting enraged over comments made by Blair that questioned his work ethic. Also, Sheen actually went to the mat for Blair in the original casting process. She was his choice, he spoke very highly of her in TV interviews and, despite FX not going with Blair in the role of the therapist after the final round of auditions, Sheen made a push and got her the part. Anger Management is roughly halfway through its 100-episode order. The show has been getting extra exposure on Fox to help boost its ratings on FX, which have dropped significantly since its original 10-epsiode run.

Latest 300: Rise Of An Empire Poster

With the new Hobbit poster quickly followed by the trailer this week, can we take today’s arrival of the new teaser image for 300: Rise Of An Empire as a sign that the first footage promo for the follow-up to the battle-happy epic will be marching online soon, even with the shifted release date? We’ll have to see, but for now take a look at the new image. {New 300: Rise Of An Empire Poster}Blood and water are very much the defining elements of this one, with Sullivan Stapleton’s general Themistokles looking pensive as a bloody sea rages behind him.Based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel Xerxes and told in the same visual style as Zack Snyder’s original film, this new chapter of the saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield – on the sea – as Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. {Close Up Stapleton Still 300}That won’t be easy, as the effort pits him against against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.Noam Murro is in charge of the carnage for this one, which will arrive across the pond on March 7, 2014 and probably not long after that over here.

Watch Iron Man 3 Online Free

First off, I felt that what they did to the Mandarin was terrible. The entire concept of The Mandarin is that he is Asian. So when I first watch iron man 3 online free and the trailer and saw Ben Kingsly, I was worried. But then I realized that He was a perfect face for the villain. Then they messed him all up with making him the scientist who was the head of AIM. The leader of AIM wasn't even that special in the fact that everyone in his organization had the same power as him.

http://www.digibytes.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Iron-Man-3-Photo-Scene-poster-wallpapers-14.jpg

Then came the Extremis power that everyone had. If the power were controlled by that little spot in the brain that they explained about in Iron Man 3 then, theoretically, if you destroyed that spot in their brain then that spot would not be able to tell the rest of the body to repair itself, right? That in itself was a fail in my opinion.
That was it for what I really didn't like about the movie, other than a few other instances of the same sort that I won't ramble on about.
Now on to the positives. Iron Man 3 was very well made and the acting, as always, was superb. Just seeing John Favreau with a mullet and some crazy '90's facial hair was worth it. I like how they had Tony Stark suffer from PTSD; I just wish that they would have elaborated more on that.
I give it a 9/10 because I didn't like that Mandarin. But everything else in it was excellent. If your a hard core Comic fan you will hate it as well, but it has a good balance of action and story line.
I hope that this review was satisfactory, it was my first time so I do apologize if I make no sense sometimes.

Milla Jovovich In Talks For Expendables 3

While in Cannes this year, we had the opportunity to talk to Jackie Chan, and to ask him about the chances that he'll turn up in The Expendables 3. While excited by the idea, he was a little non-committal on the subject, but is now, according to The Wrap, in “advanced negotiations” alongside Nicholas Cage, Wesley Snipes and Milla Jovovich.This is the first time that Jovovich’s name has cropped up in connection with the movie, though Sly has said that he was looking to add more of a female dynamic to the third outing. And she certainly brings enough arse-kicking credentials from her work on the Resident Evil franchise and elsewhere.As for Chan, Cage and Snipes, they’ve all been talked about for ages, but never seemed to really be in contention. Perhaps we really will finally get to see them all share the screen? A bigger question is can they finally make an Expendables movie that actually lives up to the fun premise?Red Hill director Patrick Hughes is the man charged with carrying out that particular brief, with a start date pencilled in for August.

Cannes 2013: Venus In Fur Initial Reaction

Roman Polanski's Venus In Fur was the last film to screen in competition, and although there weren't very high hopes for the controversial director's latest – like Carnage, it is a single-set drama based on a play, this time with even fewer characters – it played very well in the Grand Lumiere Theatre. It may not do as well as Carnage, being based on a play that is based on Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch's scandalous S&M novel of 1870, but this should be a hit with French arthouse audiences in the UK, while continuing to feed the myth of Polanski with its provocative comedy.Mathieu Amalric stars as Thomas, a Parisian theatre owner who is staging a production of Venus In Fur and complains that he cannot find an actress to play Vanda, the heroine. It is a dark and stormy night, and out of nowhere a woman (Emmanuelle Seigner) appears, claiming to be perfect for the part, even though she seems somewhat stupid and distinctly low class. Nevertheless, she begins to work a strange charm on Thomas, and he soon realises that she knows more about his play than he does, goading him into roleplay that becomes more and more extreme.With a shaggy haircut that makes him look extraordinarily like the younger Polanski, Amalric is basically a foil for a very entertaining performance by Seigner, the director's real-life wife, his eyes popping in mute outrage at her every faux pas. Soon, though, she reels him in, and in the final moments reveals her true purpose. How this all pertains to his recent inclement fortune we may never know, but it is certainly a bold step for Polanski that he has made a film that deals head on with the subject of men exploiting women in the name of art.
