"Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling" on CMT will pit celebs against each other in the ring this fall.
No word on which celebs will be putting other celebs in sleeper holds, but something tells me Mink DeVille is more likely to sign up than Katie Holmes.

Jack Bauer is headed to Africa after all!
You’ll recall the ORIGINAL original plan was to start season seven of "24" with an episode or two set in Africa before jumping in time and place to Washington, D.C.
Well, the writers’ strike has suddenly brought us back to that plan, sort of, with a two-hour TV-movie that takes the lead “24” character to the Dark Continent.

SPOILER!!
Tonight fans of “Survivor” saw one of the most devious sneaky-snake acts of deception ever perpetrated on national television.
Take up valuable bandwidth with your predictions and reactions!
West Coasters:
8 p.m. Thursday. CBS.
Important reminder: the guy who complains loudest in talkback about reality shows is always the one most frequently caught masturbating in front of “American Gladiators” by his mom.

* Just as “Real World 10” was the second edition based in New York, “Real World 20” is the second edition based in Greater Los Angeles.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Last week Dark Horizons ran a bunch of unauthorized raw behind the scenes pics from Frank Miller's Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT. Lotsa greenscreen there... and they got pulled pretty quickly. I'm guessing Lionsgate has had these authorized ones rushed out to give everybody a more solid idea of what the film will look like. It's not much, but I gotta say that's an absolutely gorgeous shot of Scarlett Johansson's purty face.
Anyway, here they be! Enjoy!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I love me some giallos and now Dario Argento (who is responsible for some great ones, including TENEBRE and BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE) is doing a film called GIALLO, which Adrien Brody has just signed on to topline.
The flick is about an American flight attendant who joins an Italian detective in search of her missing sister, feared to have been abducted by a serial killer known as Yellow (hence the title, which is Italian for yellow).

Ahoy, squirts! Quint. Denzel Washington has the lead in the new Robert Ludlum (BOURNE series) big screen adaptation, THE MATARESE CIRCLE. It's going around Hollywood right now as a package deal and attractive package it is, too. (Yeah, I know that was poor wording).

“Prison Break,” the highly serialized drama from director-producer Brett Ratner (“Rush Hour 3”) and writer-producer Paul Scheuring (“A Man Apart”), will be back next season, Fox announced Monday.
The fourth season will follow the characters after they escape a Panama prison. Perhaps in the fifth season they’ll bust out of an alien prison on another planet.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We recently ran a story on the existence of David Twohy's (PITCH BLACK) next project. It's a thriller about a new couple hiking in Hawaii who run into another pair of hikers... but these hikers might not be nice people.

Hey folks, Harry here... First we saw Rocky return, then it was Rambo... now - it looks like the gods are giving us one last Harry Callahan story! Today, it cracked in the trades that there was a new Clint Eastwood movie called GRAN TORINO - nobody seems to know what it is, but we know that Eastwood is going to star. Online - folks like Jeremy Smith were not so quietly hoping it meant... Dirty Harry. Well... here's a note I just received:
Harry.

Hey folks, Harry here... tonight I received a communique from the spectacular Suki Jonze - who had it on the up and up where I could go to see Johnny Depp as John Dillinger - and I have to say... this is cool. First off - it's just the notion of Michael Mann doing a 30's Gangster story... then there's the notion that Michael Mann has his mitts on Johnny Depp. And that Johnny is playing the movie star of classic gangsters... Dillinger... And then Ms Suki pushed me to the images that just look right. Here... go check it out for yourself...

“Spider-Man” writer-director Sam Raimi is negotiating with Paramount to bring back Jack Ryan, CIA-analyst protagonist of “The Hunt For Red October,” “Patriot Games,” “The Sum of All Fears” and “Clear and Present Danger.”
The plan, apparently, is to have Raimi direct a whole series of movies focused on a Ryan even younger than Ben Affleck. The first could hit cinemas as early as summer 2010.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Ah, David Twohy. I recently watched PITCH BLACK when I re-bought it on high-def. It really holds up well for me and is still the best example of Vin Diesel as an action badass. But I do have a wicked soft spot for sci-fi horror.

“Spider-Man” series writer-director Sam Raimi is producing a new CW reality series, “13,” that sounds a little like “Fear Factor” crossed with “Survivor”: 13 contestants must endure scary challenges as they’re eliminated over the series’ run.
Expect it this summer.

Just Kidding! Harry here... at 6:19 am Pacific Standard Time - the Evil Bastard, Moriarty - welcomed into this world his second son... ALLEN MILES McWEENY.
Now - I know that doesn't sound geeky - but the child is obviously named after Karen Allen and Miles - which of course was the neurotic wine sipper played by Paul Giamatti in SIDEWAYS. Kudos to Moriarty for being slightly more subtle this time... but I see through this ploy at normalcy. CONGRATS - Mori's voice on my message was very satisfied sounding.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I've been hearing word that Bob Shaye was desperately trying to keep his position at New Line these last few months. He cleared up his spat with Peter Jackson and got THE HOBBIT moving again, he was a central figure pushing for a remake/reinvigoration of one of New Line's other successful franches, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET... all to show that he still has what it takes to run the studio.
