* Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life opens in limited release today, but in DC next week so expect the review then. While Malick was meticulously piecing together the ambitious project, we also started to hear bits and pieces of another film he was working on, a documentary titled Voyage of Time which would feature his Tree of Life star Brad Pitt as narrator. Now according to producer Bill Polhad speaking to the LA Times has confirmed what we already knew, including that the subject will encompass a number of the same grand themes and cosmic footage from The Tree of Life. Count me in.
* If you just couldn't get enough of Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell in The Other Guys
, then chances are you were pretty excited when it was learned that the two would team back up for the football comedy, Turkey Bowl. The film surrounds an annual tackle football game between two rival families for bragging rights. All we knew at the time was that Ferrell and Adam McKay were producing, and that Alec Baldwin was already involved as Wahlberg's father. Now thanks to a story run in EW, we know that the title is looking to be changed to Three Mississippi, and that Rob Riggle(The Hangover
) and Jeremy Renner(The Hurt Locker
) will probably be part of the big celebrity football game. * Showblitz reports Michael Mann(Public Enemies
) is set to direct Go Like Hell, a race car pic involving "the true story of the competition between Ford and Ferrari in 1966, when an American car won the Le Mans for the first time.” The story will cover the reinvention of Ford Motor Company under the guidance of Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, and Caroll Shelby. A.J. Baime wrote the novel that serves as the source for the adaptation, which at one point had Brad Pitt in contention to star.
