Director James Cameron and Fox are discussing plans to bring "Avatar" back to 3D theaters later this summer. The re-release would potentially boast about 10-12 minutes of new footage for a film that's already way too long. Cameron claims that the film lost "a couple hundred million dollars" when it was booted off screens to make room for "Alice In Wonderland" and Fox and the director are trying to milk their cash cow for all its worth.
In addition to confirming what we already knew a month ago -- that Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan are starring in Tom McCarthy's wrestling pic "Win Win" -- Variety have announced that Melanie Lynskey, Bobby Cannavale and Jeffrey Tambor have joined the cast. In the film Giamatti plays "plays a struggling attorney who moonlights as a high-school wrestling coach. All aspects of his complicated life are thrown up in the air when he becomes the legal guardian of a client whose grandson shows up on the doorstep." Shooting starts next week in New York City.
The Farrelly Brothers "Hall Pass" cast keeps growing. Richard Jenkins and Bruce Thomas are to set to join Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Jason Sudeikis, Christina Applegate, and Alyssa Milano in the comedy about two husbands who are permitted by their wives to pursue extramarital affairs.
Director Phillip Noyce is set to direct "Wenceslas Square." Based on the short story by Arthur Phillips, the film "revolves around a young CIA officer and a beautiful Czech spy." The film has been fast-tracked and is set to be tackled by Noyce once he wraps post-production on the Angelina Jolie action pic "Salt."
The once interesting-turned-hack director Jonas Åkerlund has helmed the latest video, "Telephone," for Lady Gaga. We're not embedding it for you as you will have to take full responsibility for clicking here and watching it yourself. We didn't make it the whole the way through.

GREAT look on posting the Lady Gaga video! Artistically it's just a louder lateral move for her, but I love the spectacle of her videos (since no one else in pop is even trying for it).
I wish the video followed the theme of the song more, rather than being a forced Caged Heat/Thelma & Louise sequel to her Paparazzi video. I love the song and the choreography, though.
Bad Romance is still her top video.
You guys should really watch the whole Lady Gaga video. It's slow at parts but the dance sequence at the end is awesome. Her costumes and get more and more absurd. I'm sure she'll get old soon, but I'm still on board for now.
I agree that the song should have been followed more.
Nonetheless, that Lady Gaga video was easily the gayest and greatest thing I've ever seen, and I feel like I don't have the watch anything by John Waters or anything else by Russ Meyer ever. It's a break from either being erudite about movies or hating them,
Kind of a disappointment. The Prison scenes are great. I love the cartoonish idea of Lady Gaga wearing her haute couture put with things only available to her in her prison cell(diet coke cans as hair curlers, sunglasses made from cigarettes). Enjoyed the cheesy dialog as well. The problems begin at the diner. The murder revenge plot is is just rehashed from the Paparazzi video (only there are more victims this time). I was hoping for a ultra-violent blood-filled crime spree with crazy hyperactive editing. Jonas Åkerlund can be very good when it comes to style but here he doesn't do anything interesting and ther are too many parts where the video drags. Bad Romance was so great because it looked like no other video I had ever seen. I wish she would work with someone like Gasper Noe or Baz Luhrmann. Someone who could really push the really envelope stylistically. In such a short time Lady Gaga has has the bar so high, I just hope she knows she's got to keep surprising us.
They didn't make enough money the first time? And it wasn't long enough already?
