TMMC Weekly Round Up

Well all the Hollywood 'chosen people' must have taken off this week for Passover, because it was dead as can be in movie news.  I mean ghost town, tumble weed style.  Nonetheless, we've scoured the world wide web to find you some juicy news and gossip to satiate your movie news appetite.  So whether you're spending this weekend awkwardly sitting around with family for some religious holiday or just being a heathen, just be thankful you're not at work!  So, without further ado - round it up...

• As the Captain America cast gets shored up with the official announcement of Chris Evans playing the spandex clad superhero, it looks like there's a hitch in the plan.  The LA Times is reporting that Emily Blunt (Young Victoria/Devil Wears Prada) has been offered the role of the Captain's WWII love interest...and will say NO!  The talk is she's too busy with other projects, but TMMC suspects she's pissed off that her fiance John Krasinski was passed up to play the role.  Bitter, party of one?  Read on.
• The cast of The Hangover is ready to reunite for another dazed and confused bender, and this time they'll make more than 5x their salary from the first go around.  You'll have to wait until Memorial Day 2011 to fly back to Vegas, so don't pull out your teeth in anticipation.  Who knows if there's even a script yet, but let's be honest, who cares!?  Read on.
• A few weeks ago TMMC broke some news that Clint Eastwood is getting ready to start work on a new biopic featuring the life, times and dresses of J. Edgar Hoover.  Now rumor has it Leonardo DiCaprio has his eye on the role of the infamous, brooding FBI head himself.  I personally think it's a great fit - pink chiffon will go great with Leo's eyes.  Read on.
• The world may be Kathryn Bigelow's oyster right now, but it seems the Oscar winning director is plowing ahead with her current project Triple Frontier.  The movie will expose the druglord organized crime along the borders of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.  From the Middle East to the South American jungle, and with a rumored cast to include Sean Penn, Denzel Washington and Javier Bardem, looks like the former Mrs. Cameron is looking to go 2 for 2 at the Oscars. Read on.
• It may be a while before Angelina Jolie dons some black horns and cape as the evil queen Malificent, but you'll soon be able to see her as the secret agent Evelyn Salt.  The blockbuster action movie Salt, reminiscent of every Angelina Jolie movie, released its new trailer this week.  Do I expect flashbacks for Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Wanted?  Sure, don't we all?  But be honest, you're as interested to see it as I am.  Read and watch on.

Here's where I would normally say, 'don't forget to vote in this week's TMMC poll!'  But if you haven't yet voted, you already missed the deadline - oh rats.  You'll just have to try again next week!
