Stiller will reunite with Reality Bites scripter Helen Childress for the Rosemary’s Baby-tinged project. There has been zero confirmation of Eddie Vedder‘s involvement from his camp. (Deadline)

Originally, Noam Murro was hired to film a 75-year old John McClan fighting bad guys in Russia. However, he jumped ship to direct the much more shirtless 300: Battle Of Artemisia. Then, the studio made the offer to Moore (Max Payne, The Omen) but Bruce Willis wasn’t completely sold. A few directors were brought into consideration, including Attack the Block’s Joe Cornish, Drive’s Nicolas Winding Refn, and Fast Five’s Justin Lin. Ultimately, Moore won over Willis with his ability to stage and shoot practical, non CGI-heavy action scenes without crashing the budget by vaulting a flaming car into it. (Deadline)

“I did things that were not only a violation of law, but also of trust,” Harris-Moore said a written statement released by his attorneys. “I can’t undo what I did. I can only try to make things better.”

He said he wanted the statement to be read by the people of Camano Island and the San Juan Islands, “where I was born and raised.”

He said he would only sign if his victims would be repaid.

“I am humbled to know I can now help the people I hurt, at least for the financial damage I caused them,” Harris-Moore wrote. “I have absolutely zero interest in profiting from any of this and I won’t make a dime off it. It all goes to restitution. That’s what I insisted on from the beginning and the contract I signed guarantees it.”

Colton-Moore is currently working on a script about his incredibly metal story with Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. As his lawyer comments, “Nobody knows the nitty-gritty of Colton’s story.” I look forward to learning all of the details. Now go put on some shoes, hippy. (THR)

Anyway, this is an amusing little viral for Twentieth Century Fox’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes. My only regret is that they didn’t take the opportunity to dress the chimp in people clothes. See what a difference a stylish pair of overalls makes?(via Bloody Disgusting)

RISE OF THE APES

Our first look at the CG Caesar. Not too shabby. Excited to see what the apes look like in full. Unless this is actually Frieda Pinto. In which case, ming! Girlfriend let herself go.

NOW

Is this a movie or a Justin Timberlake music video? I’m guessing the lack of Timbaland or white guys with cornrows means it’s a movie.

THE SITTER

I’m told 95% of this film takes place at a fast food drive-thru. Hill’s suggestion.

WE BOUGHT A ZOO

Matt Damon uses a hand puppet to teach his daughter about the birds and bees and guarantee that she grows up to be a Furry.

THE BIG YEAR

Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson camp outside co-star Rashida Jones‘ dressing room window.

THE DESCENDANTS

George Clooney and his The Descendants co-stars also decide to check out Rashida Jones’ dressing room window. Can’t a girl get some privacy???

Peter and Bobby Farrelly are on board to direct the film, which was originally part of MGM‘s lineup before financial troubles forced the studio to abandon the project. It’s a shame MGM couldn’t hold onto the rights. Mel Gibson did a TV movie based on the Stooges a few years back, and look at him now!

I’ve got good news for anyone who was left cold by X-Men 3 or Wolverine. Producers have decided to give X-Men: First Class a plot. Now that’s a step in the right direction!

X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.

Nobody is really certain what exactly ‘Armageddon’ means. It might mean the end of the world as we know it, or it may refer to a mutant enemy. Or it just might be that monster truck. Personally, I’d be more fearful of Gravedigger. He can jump the larger amount of cars. (via /Film)

"Stop it. You're causing a scene."

20th Century Fox has decided to lawyer up against a webmaster who posted the leaked Deadpool script on her online screenplay database. The studio has filed a $15 million suit against Patricia McIlvane on the grounds of copyright infringement. Isn’t reading Deadpool punishment enough?

Though she wasn’t the original source of the leak, McIlvane is being targeted while larger sites like io9 and the original leak have not been targeted. She describes how she received the news on her website:

Two strangers knocked on her door and informed her, in front of her children, 20th Century Fox was suing her for 15 million dollars. Two hours later, after grilling her with questions for two solid hours, they left her stunned and crying in her living room staring at a business card that stated they were “private investigators.”

This was the first contact PJ had from 20th Century Fox regarding a Media Fire online script library she created — and was the day 20th Century Fox filed a law suit against PJ in federal court for fifteen million dollars.

Seems harsh. Whatever happened to a cease and desist? The jokes on Fox though. I don’t think she even has $15 million. They’re going to be really embarrassed when they get to court. (THR)
