* Pretty much every movie Park Chan-Wook has made(Thirst
, The Vengeance Trilogy
) has been a classic, but one thing he hasn't had the opportunity to do yet is make the transition to English-language flicks. He's been developing Stoker, written by Wentworth Miller(Prison Break
), about a teenager dealing with the return of a mysterious uncle to her family. At one point Carey Mulligan was attached to star, but now Deadline reports that she has been replaced by Mia Wasikowska. A change I can live with.* Those of us who remember fondly the days of Ice Cube's Amerikkka's Most Wanted
have probably been lamenting his spiral into PG-rated daddy material. If you thought Are We There Yet? 
was the lowest ebb, then think again, as he along with Josh Duhamel and Ryan Seacrest(does he ever sleep?) are in talks to join New Year's Eve, the "sequel" to Valentine's Day
. Unless he goes off on a killing spree in it my disappointment with the trajectory of Ice Cube's career continues.* As Seth Grahame-Smith's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
appears to be picking up steam, his Pride and Prejudice and Zombies 
is still looking for a director after Mike White dropped out. The latest name added to the list to replace him? Christoper Smith, whose next film, the medievel horror Black Death, will be released here in the coming weeks. Between White and Smith, the aim seems to be to get a director familiar with dark comedy. Check out Smith's 2005 workplace horror, Severance
, to see what I'm talkin' about.
