    Three Characters Posters From "Grudge Match" - Stallone, De Niro, Hart

    In "Grudge Match," De Niro and Stallone play Billy "The Kid" McDonnen and Henry "Razor" Sharp, two local Pittsburgh fighters whose fierce rivalry put them in the national spotlight. Each had scored a victory against the other during their heyday, but in 1983, on the eve of their decisive third match, Razor suddenly announced his retirement, refusing to explain why but effectively delivering a knock-out punch to both their careers. Thirty years later, boxing promoter Dante Slate Jr., seeing big dollar signs, makes them an offer they can't refuse: to re-enter the ring and settle the score once and for all.

    But they may not have to wait that long: on their first encounter in decades, their long-festering feud erupts into an unintentionally hilarious melee that instantly goes viral. The sudden social media frenzy transforms their local grudge match into a must-see HBO event. Now, if they can just survive the training, they may actually live to fight again.

    Charlie Hunnam Is No Longer Part Of "50 Shades Of Grey" - Nobody Cares

    When Charlie Hunnam was cast as Christian Grey in the upcoming 50 Shades Of Grey it wasn't exactly a universal orgasm from the the well versed female fanbase. More like a collective "Who?" He certainly wasn't the interwebs choice for the role and now maybe there can be a widespread sigh of relief because Hunnam is no longer part of the production.

    The reason that was given in the below press release was his "immersive TV schedule" which points to his role on Sons Of Anarchy. To me that is simply a nice way of saying he was fired. My guess is he wasn't what the creative team envisioned and his chemistry with Dakota Johnson is way off. Think Eric Stoltz in Back To The Future but without the wasted footage.

    You wonder if this delays the project which was already on a tight schedule, plus not sure if they want to go up against Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy, even though I think that won't be as big of a hit as some might think.

    Universal Pictures and Focus Features announced today that Charlie Hunnam will no longer play Christian Grey in Fifty Shades Of Grey.

    "The filmmakers of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead given Hunnam's immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey," the studio said in a statement.

    He was going to star opposite Dakota Johnson and Jennifer Ehle in the August 1, 2014 release, to be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. The film will be based on E L James’ #1 bestselling book. Fifty Shades Of Grey has been adapted into a screenplay by Kelly Marcel. Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti are producing the movie version alongside Ms. James.

    Universal Pictures and Focus Features acquired the rights to the three books in the “Fifty Shades of Grey” trilogy in March 2012. Focus Features will market and distribute the first film in partnership with Universal. "Fifty Shades of Grey" has become a global phenomenon and the trilogy has been translated in over 50 languages worldwide since its release. To date, the “Fifty Shades” trilogy has sold over 70 million copies worldwide in e-book and print, making it one of the fastest-selling book series ever.

    "Fifty Shades of Grey" (first published in 2011) follows the relationship of 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. Subsequent novels in the series, "Fifty Shades Darker" (2011) and "Fifty Shades Freed" (2012) explore the couple’s deepening relationship.

    Excerpt From Marc Guggenheim's Flash Script Leaks On Twitter

    Latino-Review's scoop crusader Umberto "El Mayimbe" Gonzalez caused a small stir on Twitter this afternoon when he released a screen cap via HIS INSTAGRAM of a script excerpt featuring The Flash.

    When I first read the exceprt I thought it was from the upcoming Flash television series but the format wasn't for television and I then realized I had read it previously. Upon further investigation I reminded myself it was was from Marc Guggenheim's 2011 Flash script simply titled The Flash. In fact, it was from the 3rd page, which I've included in it's entirety below.

    I'm not quite sure what the end game was in regards to posting the excerpt. It was being played off as a "scoop" but I'm not sure if the insinuation was that it was from Batman Vs Superman, a new Justice League, or a new Flash film. Websites started running the story claiming they had sources who confirmed it was Batman vs Superman & David Goyer's The Flash. That's incorrect.

    Guggenheim and Michael Green are the credited as writers and both have story credits; along with Greg Berlanti. I have read this version and David Goyer's October 2006 draft and in my opinion; Marc Guggenheim's is the superior read. I was told by my peeps over at Warner Bros that they did really love the script, I'm not sure of the reasons behind not putting it into production.

    If Will Smith Didn't Return For "Independence Day 2" Why Make It?

    I'm not a huge fan of the original, this is no secret to anybody who knows me. I do want to make it clear that despite that, the following opinion comes from a non bias place.

    The official announcement back in June for the Roland Emmerich helmed 2nd installment of Independence Day indicated that they were going up against some aliens without the help of the original films star, Will Smith. What? Why would the studio big wigs even consider making an Independence Day sequel without Will Smith on board?

    Seems that logic finally got in the way of the studios Will Smithless delusions. According DIGITAL SPY, who had the opportunity to sit down with director Roland Emmerich, Smith could be back in the mix again.

    "I sometimes say no, Will Smith will not be in it because he didn't want to do it at first. Now we have a meeting planned, we want to talk about it again. Anything can happen," 

    Let's be honest here, either the studio is begging Will Smith to come back because they know they have nothing without him or the actor realizes he needs to get bring it after the debacle that was After Earth. If somehow this all falls apart then the studio could always just replace him with Don Cheadle, I'm sure nobody will notice.
