Hollywood News We Don’t Care About

A daily wrap of the dumbest stories coming out of Hollywood.

• Hillary Duff had a script labeled “Spiderman” on her kitchen table. A role called “girl” was highlighted. Reason #325 not to see the pointless Spider-Man reboot. (Latino Review)

• Ridley Scott keeps yapping about the Alien prequels that will most likely never happen. Until something official is announced, like say a production start date, we are ignoring all of his ramblings. (Cinema Blend)

• Director Jan de Bont wants to make a live-action version of Mulan. The only thing Jan de Bont should be allowed to direct is a thirty-second commercial for a used car dealership. (/Film)

• Amy Poehler will host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. I haven’t watched SNL since 1998 and based on the ratings the last few years, it’s pretty clear I’m not the only one. (Deadline)

• M. Night Shyamalan is planning to further fu*k up his fading career by writing and directing a sequel to Unbreakable. Evidently he’s still under the impression he’s not an overrated hack. (Hollywood)

• James Cameron is going to shoot a 3D documentary on the Xingu River tribes of the Amazon. Why? Because James Cameron is a selfless humanitarian who cares about every living creature on the planet, that’s why. (FilmDrunk)
