Since I'm not a MIB fan and for me Men In Black 2 is one of his worst movies, I hope he doesn't make another sequel.

No problem! :thumbsup:

September 29, 2008 Source: Parade by Alex Billington I'm getting quite tired of running rumors like this, but alas, it's news people want to read about. We were recently pointed towards a quote in the latest issue of Parade where producer Walter Parkes apparently comments on the status of another Men in Black movie. In response to a question about a Men in Black 3, Parkes says "the challenge is getting the script right and finding a time when our busy stars are available." But that's not all. "Everyone, including Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, wants to do another." Since when? Some quick background research uncovers a story from way back in 2005, where Parkes said that there have "been some conversations" but not much more. So is this real news or not? It's hard to say that Parade would be digging up old rumors and quoting a producer out of context, which makes me believe this quote is actually legitimate news. I'll be making some calls today to try and find out a bit more, but I'm just not so sure if this really means we'll see a third movie anyway. Parkes, remarkably, accurately described the second Men in Black (from 2002), saying "I don't think we did the best possible job on the second one." Really?! I know I really didn't like it at all, but that may just be me. One of the big current Hollywood trends surrounds bringing back seemingly "dead" franchises and it looks like Men in Black is the perfect candidate for a big-time return. But would it actually end up any good? http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/09/29/rum...ment-somewhere/

"Legend" Prequel, "Hancock" Sequel? They may be amongst the weakest films he's done, but Will Smith's two most recent major hits look like they're about to become franchises. First up, Warner Bros. Pictures has set in motion a prequel to post-apocalyptic thriller "I Am Legend" which Francis Lawrence will again direct reports the trades. Writer D.B. Weiss is currently working on a script. Smith is expected to return to the role of military scientist Robert Neville in the story that will deal with the final days of humanity in New York before a man-made virus caused a plague that left Smith's character the lone survivor in a barren city over-run by deadly nocturnal mutants. In less official news, a reliable source tells Dark Horizons that Sony has quietly set a "Hancock" sequel into development. More on that when it comes. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080925i.php

AWESOME!!! :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom: :wickedwisdom:

(CNN) -- Paul Newman, the legendary actor whose steely blue eyes, good-humored charm and advocacy of worthy causes made him one of the most renowned figures in American arts, has died of cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut. He was 83. He died Friday, according to spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic. Newman attained stardom in the 1950s and never lost the movie-star aura, appearing in such classic films as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Exodus," "The Hustler," "Cool Hand Luke," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and "The Verdict." He finally won an Oscar in 1986 -- on his eighth try -- for "The Color of Money," a sequel to "The Hustler." He later received two more Oscar nominations. Among his other awards was the Motion Picture Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Newman was a Method-trained actor who blazed his own career trail and didn't shy away from risky roles -- inside and outside films. A portrayal as a race-car driver in 1969's "Winning" led to his actual competition in races; at 70, he participated in the 24 Hours of Daytona and he was still racing at age 80. He stumped for liberal causes, including Eugene McCarthy's 1968 presidential candidacy, and earned a spot on Richard Nixon's enemies list -- "the highest single honor I've ever received," he said. In 1982, Newman and his friend A.E. Hotchner founded Newman's Own, a food company that produced food ranging from pasta sauces to salad dressing to chocolate chip cookies. "The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is outgrossing my films," Newman once wryly noted. To date, the company -- which donates all profits to charities such as Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang camp -- has given away more than $200 million. Newman established the camp to benefit gravely ill children. Newman was half of one of the most successful showbiz marriages -- to Joanne Woodward, whom he married in 1958. He observed that just because he was a sex symbol there was no reason to commit adultery. "Why would I go out for a hamburger when have steak at home?" he asked. Paul Leonard Newman was born on January 26, 1925, in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. His father owned a successful sporting goods store, but young Paul was taken with his mother's and uncle's interest in the arts and started acting while still in grade school. "I wasn't running toward the theater but running away from the sporting goods store," he said later. After being kicked out of Ohio University for unruly behavior, he joined the Navy and served for three years during World War II. After the war he attended Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where his unruly ways led him to theater. Newman continued studying acting at Yale and at New York's Actors' Studio, earning jobs in the growing medium of television. He made his Broadway debut in William Inge's 1953 play "Picnic," opposite Kim Stanley, one of the most successful stage actresses of her time. The next year he made his first Hollywood film, "The Silver Chalice," a bomb that he mocked for the rest of his life. He even took out a newspaper ad apologizing for his performance. But success as boxer Rocky Graziano in "Somebody Up There Likes Me" (1956) made him a star, and more hits followed: "The Long, Hot Summer" (1958) opposite his soon-to-be wife, Woodward; "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958) with Elizabeth Taylor; and "The Young Philadelphians" (1959). But the 1960s were to be Newman's decade, a perfect match for his ironic, anti-establishment attitude. He began the decade with "Exodus" (1960), an epic about Israel's founding directed by Otto Preminger, and succeeded it with "The Hustler" (1961) as pool shark Fast Eddie Felson; "Sweet Bird of Youth" (1962), another Tennessee Williams work; and "Hud" (1963), "Harper" (1966) and "Hombre" (1967), continuing a good-luck streak of films beginning with "H." After "Cool Hand Luke" (1967), in which he played the egg-eating malcontented title character, he turned to directing, earning raves for his behind-the-camera work on "Rachel, Rachel" (1968), starring his wife. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) and "The Sting" (1973) teamed Newman with co-star Robert Redford and director George Roy Hill. The trio proved to be box-office gold: They were two of the highest-grossing films of their time, winning a slew of awards -- including a best picture Oscar for the latter, a tale of con men in 1930s Chicago. Newman finally teamed up with Steve McQueen, who had been scheduled to be his co-star in "Butch Cassidy," in 1974's "The Towering Inferno." Though the Irwin Allen-produced disaster film earned mixed critical notices, it, too, was one of the most successful box-office films of the era. Newman's career started faltering in the late '70s as he turned his attention to his other pursuits, notably racing. The loss of his son Scott to a drug overdose in 1978 hit the actor hard. He made an artistic comeback with 1982's "The Verdict," the story of an ambulance-chasing hard-luck lawyer in which Newman appeared broken, raspy and every inch of his 58 years. By the time Newman starred in "The Color of Money," directed by Martin Scorsese, his movie career had slipped a notch. Never afraid of playing his age, Newman portrayed a repressed businessman in 1990's "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge," a cantankerous lodger in "Nobody's Fool" (1994), a fatherly, retired gangster in "Road to Perdition" (2002), and the voice of a Hudson Hornet in "Cars" (2006). He gained some of his best reviews for his performance as the stage manager in a Broadway production of Thornton Wilder's classic play, "Our Town," filmed for television in 2003, and was perfectly cast as the rascally father to Ed Harris' responsible diner owner in the miniseries "Empire Falls." In recent years, Newman talked about doing another film with his friend Redford, but the two couldn't settle on a script. In 2007, Newman said he was retiring from acting, saying he'd lost confidence in his abilities. Still, he marveled at his own resilience. "You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career." Newman, who was married to Jackie Witt from 1949 to 1957, is survived by his wife, Joanne Woodward, and five children. http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/...ul.newman.dead/ _______________________________________________________ RIP Mr. Newman :therain:

Will Has a Birthday Cheerleading Squad (Including Carlton!) Will Smith celebrated his 40th birthday yesterday watching his son Trey play football in LA with his family and former costar on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Alfonso Ribeiro. Will was in his element playing with his kids and giving tips to Trey while his loved ones surprised him with a special gift. Another reason for his big grin is that he just signed on for a prequel to I am Legend about the final days in NYC when the virus started to spread, though rumors of him playing Captain America are false. Sounds like Will's got all the makings of a birthday to remember, even though you all were unsure about how you felt about a sequel to his box office hit. Pics! http://popsugar.com/2094030

Mega movie star Will Smith celebrated his 40th birthday in grand style as he went to town on a bag of Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos. Smith munched on a bag of the triangular taste explosions while taking in his son's football game. However, the former fresh prince of Bel Air's spent most of his time at the game making sure Dorito dust didn't land on his sharp white shirt. Smith said, “That’s what pants are for!” http://defamer.com/5055127/will-smith-most...oys-his-doritos

Will Smith took a turn playing "Mrs. Smith" joking around with Jada as they watched his son Trey's high school football game in LA on Friday. Fall means back to school and sports, but soon it will also mean returning to work for Jada, who's starring and executive producing a new TNT drama called Time Heals. The actress recently had to get some healing help for her dogs after a snake killed her pup Rocco, but she seems to be doing great and funny Will probably has a million ways to help cheer her up.

Have fun AJ.

By Tiffany Rose 19/09/2008 The Hollywood actress, 36, on her sexy superstar hubby Will Smith’s romantic side (lucky lady), being a hot mama, and why she’s a secret baking sensation What has been your weirdest experience with a fan? Jada Pinkett Smith: You would think it would be Will (Smith, her husband) who’d get them, but I always get the crazy ones. There was a woman who had a total meltdown in Miami while I was there. The police called my agent and said, ‘We have this woman who has plotted to kill Jada because she claims to be married to Will, and that Jada stole Will from her.’ So the police found this woman and locked her up. Why do you think you attract crazies? JPS: It’s because I’m little. Will is a 6ft 2in, 14-stone black dude who nobody wants to mess with, so instead they come after the little 4ft 11in chick. Showbiz marriages usually have a short shelf life. What’s your secret to marital bliss? JPS: It’s the yin and yang – he and I balance one another. If he flips, I automatically flip to the other side. We’re always debating different political issues and different philosophies on life. He’ll be on one side and I’ll be on the other, and as soon as I see his point of view, he goes right back. So does he perk you up if you’re having a bad day? JPS: That’s it. If I’m having a bad day, he’s like this ray of sunshine or if he’s having a bad day, I go right over to be his sunshine. Is it hard finding time to spend together with your busy careers? JPS: It may be for him, because he likes me right there all the time. For me, I always feel it’s good for us to go off and have experiences and tell each other about them. That’s what keeps a relationship fresh – when you can go out separately and come back with something to offer. But we don’t usually go more than two weeks apart. Every time we come back together, we have something new to share. And he goes, ‘That’s why I love you!’ Do you believe fate played a part in bringing you together? JPS: Absolutely. I auditioned for The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air when I was 19, but they told me I was too short to play Will’s TV girlfriend. Then I became this hot little mama on the show A Different World, and all the boys would come on to the set to check me out. He showed up and I wasn’t paying him any attention. Then he met his first wife, Sheree Zampino, and I was doing my thing. He was very good friends with a friend of mine, Dwayne. When Dwayne and I were filming a movie in North Carolina, Will came along and asked me to be on Fresh Prince, and I was like, ‘Hell no, I’m not doing TV again, I’m a movie actress goddamit!’ Then he got divorced and I saw him again with Dwayne. We went out on a date and that was it. But getting together was a three-year process. What’s the most romantic thing Will has done for you? JPS: A few weeks ago, I left New York to go home to LA and I went into the bedroom and it was full of flowers, roses and candles. He had written a little note by the bed saying he missed me. He does stuff like that all the time. Do you have a movie star crush? JPS: Ah, yes, Johnny Depp (gushes). That guy just oozes charisma. Tell us something about yourself that we don’t know. JPS: I’m a horrific cook, but I can bake. I bake all kinds of sweet things – biscuits, 7-Up cakes, cookies… What’s a 7-Up cake? JPS: It’s a cake made with 7-Up soda. You all wouldn’t know about it – it’s a ghetto thing from the American South. It is the bomb! It’s cool because Will’s ex-wife cooks really well – we all spend Christmas together – and she cooks macaroni and cheese and creamed corn and I do my little 7-Up cake, so Will’s happy! I told him, ‘You made two good choices: one who can bake and the other who can cook’. Does having a family affect the movie choices you make? JPS: Absolutely. I only work on projects close to my heart. So what are you looking for professionally? JPS: Well, I always try to make sure that I’m not forgotten, so that when I do want to work I can get a meeting. But my priority is my family. I do love doing what I do, but you can’t have two superstars in the family. We already have one… Who is the star in the family? JPS: Ahem… Will Smith. Do you have any idea who I’m talking about? But I knew that going into a relationship with him, and that’s how we keep our family balanced. You worked with Will in Ali. Any plans to reunite again? JPS: We are trying to, yeah. We’re just trying to find the right script. Have you always been ambitious? JPS: When I was three, I said, ‘I’m gonna be a star.’ Oh, yes. Once I got my first movie, I was like, ‘Done!’ I’ve always been ready to take on the world. Are you still like that? JPS: In a different way. My kids are the most precious things I have and so children just put things into perspective. Once my children came into the world, I was like, ‘There’s nothing more precious than these human beings.’ You always look great. Do you have a stylist, or do you just have an eye for fashion? JPS: It’s something I’ve had to work on. I just realised fashion is an art, it’s another expression of who you are as a woman and you’ve got to take that seriously. As of late, I’ve been trying really hard. What’s your guilty pleasure? JPS: Haagen-Daz Egg Nog ice cream. Once I have a taste of it, consider it an empty carton. Your new film is called The Women. What was it like to work with mostly female cast? JPS: I play Miriam, who is part of a circle of gossipy New York socialites. It was interesting to be in this large group of women and to see what we brought individually to the film. It just worked. Annette Bening is brilliant. I was in awe of her. I actually had to catch myself, because I was watching her like a student. She’s a veteran. And then for all of us – Meg (Ryan), Eva (Mendes), Annette and I – to sit around and talk about our families, balancing our lives, husbands, divorce, boyfriends, it made me recognise how much you need to be around other women. Jada's reality check When was the last time you ate a Big Mac? Nah, you wouldn’t catch me eating fast food. I’m a bit of a health freak. Healthy body, healthy mind. Have you ever said; ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ (Laughs) I leave that one to Will! What was the last domestic thing you did? I did some baking at the weekend for the kids. http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/celebs-on-s...15875-20744472/ _______________________________________________ Cool interview! :thumbsup:
