[b]Seth Rogen Could Lead "The B Team"[/b]
Funnyman [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/262582/personmain.jhtml"]Seth Rogen[/url] could be doing double duty on the upcoming Disney spy comedy, "The B Team." [url="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118047856.html?cmpid=RSS|News|FilmNews"][i]Variety[/i][/url] is reporting that the "50/50" star will be producing and potentially looking to star in the film. The project is still in its early stages, and follows the story of a top secret agent who is kidnapped and needs to be rescued by his tech staff. The title and plot are a play off "The A-Team," according to [url="http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Seth-Rogen-Produce-Possibly-Star-B-Team-28502.html"]Cinema Blend[/url]. This is hardly Rogen's first time both starring and producing a film, as he did the same for "50/50," "Superbad" and "The Green Hornet," among others.

[b]Ryan Gosling To Join "The Golden Suicides"?[/b]
If the casting process for Gaspar Noe's upcoming film "The Golden Suicides" is supposed to be kept a secret, then writer Bret Easton Ellis isn't doing a good job keeping it. According to the "Less Than Zero" writer, [url="http://twitter.com/#!/BretEastonEllis/status/149376245426167809"]Ryan Gosling met with Noe[/url] last week at Chateau Marmont to talk about the film. It's not the first time that Ellis has implied Gosling might be interested in the part. He [url="http://twitter.com/#!/BretEastonEllis/status/147250519700803584"]tweeted[/url] earlier in the month that "Gosling is going to have to wait this year out and then win the Oscar for playing Jeremy Blake in 'The Golden Suicides'." The film follows the double suicides of esteemed artists Jeremy Blake and Theresa Duncan in 2007.

[b]Dan Aykroyd Ready To Join The "Dog Fight"[/b]

"Dog Fight" follows the story of two rival politicians in South Carolina whose quests to become president become entangled with one another. The flick is set to be released in August.

[b]Christina Hendricks Could Be Setting Off The "Bomb"[/b]
[url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2077769/Christina-Hendricks-sixties-sex-bomb-accepts-role-era.html?ITO=1490"]Daily Mail[/url] is reporting that [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/294249/personmain.jhtml"]Christina Hendricks[/url] is the latest actress to be in talks for Sally Potter's upcoming '60s-set anti-nuclear film, "Bomb." The movie also stars Elle Fanning, Alice Englart and Allesandro Nivola, and Annette Bening has been courted for a role. Daily Mail doesn't specify what character Hendricks will be playing. The film follows two teenage rebels who become involved in the Ban the Bomb movement and the sexual revolution.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
