Mike Gyllenhaal May Go To Motor City
He's around replace Dominic CooperDo you hear that oddly off-key plinky plonky music? The products that appears like it absolutely was dredged in the 1000 childhood bad dreams or nightmares? Don't get worried a lot of: it's just the tune that plays whenever Hollywood indulges in musical casting couches. We mentioned lately that news of Dominic Cooper joining the cast of Roger Donaldson's Urban centers might take him in the cast for Albert Hughes' action thriller Motor City. So that it has involves pass, but no less than Hughes has Mike Gyllenhaal in discussions to think about his place.Supposing he'll obtain the 17 boxes of rainbow coloured wine nicotine nicotine gums he identifies within the contract, Gyllenhaal may have just a little-time hood who'll get presented and thrown inside the slammer. Upon his release he forms in to a quiet existence controlling a facility that cares for baby marmosets. Okay, that could be an awful plot with an action thriller. No, he really swears revenge on people who put him away and sets to discover them.Emerald Heard will probably be playing the feminine lead, with Gary Oldman fixing your relationship together with his Book Of Eli director to see another large bad. Nevertheless the most intriguing element? Chad St John's original, Black List-worthy script featured exactly one sort of dialogue for that hero. We're left wondering when has managed to get to the shooting draft.Gyllenhaal was last on-screen in Source Code and David Ayer's cop drama Finish Of Watch set to achieve later this year.

Peter Berg Reveals 'Friday Night Lights' Movie Details
The script for a spin-off movie for the "Friday Night Lights" TV series is close to being finished, but director Peter Berg said that his cast might be too busy with their other gigs to commit to it right now. In other parts of the web, Jaden Smith posted a new image from the Costa Rica set of "After Earth," Andrew Stanton is already working on a "John Carter" sequel and director Brian Taylor has been tapped to helm a "Twisted Metal" feature adaptation. It's February 15, and you're checking in for today's daily news round up. Peter Berg Promises "Friday Night Lights" Movie Still On Its Way Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. At least that seems to be the mentality director Peter Berg and showrunner Jason Katims are having when it comes to creating a "Friday Night Lights" movie. Berg told MTV News that Katims is close to finishing the script for a second "Friday Night Lights" movie that parallels the real-life story of Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach. The problem with bringing the movie together, though, is that the majority of "Friday Night Lights'" stars have moved on to bigger things and now have pretty busy schedules. Jaden Smith Shows Off "After Earth" Costume Ah, the wonders of social networking. Jaden Smith took to his Who Say account to post a new image from his upcoming M. Night Shyamalan-directed sci-fi film "After Earth." In it, he can be seen wearing a futuristic one-piece outfit that seems to be an armor of some sort, and potentially wearing a weapon on his back. Despite our Shyamalan skepticism (sorry, "The Last Airbender"), this actually looks pretty cool. Director Andrew Stanton Already Outlining "John Carter" Sequel Ain't It Cool News conducted a lengthy interview with "John Carter" director Andrew Stanton in which he touched upon many elements of the upcoming movie "John Carter" and its prospective sequel. The interview is too long to summarize in this one blip, so I encourage you to read its entirety there. But one of the major points Stanton talked about was that he is already hard at work planning a "John Carter" sequel even though he's waiting to see how successful the first film is before he gets the go-ahead from Disney. Like most franchises in Hollywood nowadays, the "John Carter" films were conceptualized as a trilogy. "Ghost Rider" Co-Director To Helm "Twisted Metal" Adaptation Hot off this Friday's release of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," co-director Brian Taylor has been tapped to direct the upcoming adaptation of video game "Twisted Metal." Deadline has the news about Taylor's first solo directing effort. Taylor will both write and direct the film. "Game Of Thrones" Production Trailer Released Hungry for more "Game of Thrones"? Well you're in luck, because HBO just released a new production trailer about the show filming in Iceland. If you've missed Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly and Commander Mormont as much as I have, then you should be thrilled. Tell us your thoughts on today's Dailies in the comments section below or on Twitter!

Clive Davis 'devastated' by Houston's loss
Music mogul Clive Davis and Whitney Houston arrive at the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party held at the Beverly Hilton in 2007.An emotional Clive Davis called Whitney Houston "a beautiful person who had talent beyond compare" as he addressed the crowd at his pre-Grammy fete Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, hours after the death of his talented but troubled protege.Meanwhile, CBS and Grammy Awards producers scrambled at the Staples Center Saturday night to revise the broadcast to acknowledge Houston's death. Exec producer Ken Ehrlich wound up recruiting Jennifer Hudson to perform a tribute to Houston, as CBS confirmed in a tweet. There had been speculation that Davis, the mogul who launched Houston's career on his Arista label, would sit out his annual star-packed party after the shocking news of his protege's untimely passing earlier in the day at the age of 48, following years of well-publicized problems with substance abuse.Davis took the stage shortly after 9:30 p.m. and said that he was "personally devastated by the loss," noting that Houston had "graced this stage with her regal presence so many times." He said that Houston "would have wanted the music to go on" and said that her family had asked that the party's planned performances continue. He called for a moment of silence, which was followed by the appearance of Tony Bennett.Bennett surprised many in the crowd by calling on the government to legalize drugs, after noting the recent passings of Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse "and now the magnificent Whitney Houston."Bennett cited the situation in Amsterdam, where certain drugs are legal, which he called "a very sane city." After his remarks, Bennett segued into the Patti Austin hit "How Do You Keep the Music Playing."Recording Academy prexy and CEO Neil Portnow, who once worked for Davis, also spoke at the party, recalling the time he saw Houston perform an early solo show at Hollywood's Vine Street Bar and Grill. "You could tell this was going to be the star of all stars," he said.Portnow said they never considered canceling the party. "You could hear Whitney saying 'C'mon guys, this is show business. The show must go on.'" Houston's legacy, he added, "will be here forever.Sean Combs was also among the speakers who took the stage to laud Houston's memory.The vibe inside and outside the Hilton bordered on the surreal amid the media frenzy that erupted after word of Houston's death spread Saturday afternoon. Many of the music biz luminaries attending the party were visibly stunned by the news. At the Hilton, the usual paparazzi turnout Davis' bash grew exponentially as media outlets around the world sought reaction and details of Houston's death -- particularly because Davis played such an instrumental role in Houston's career. According to media reports, the singer was found dead at Hilton earlier in the day. A source at the hotel said singer Dionne Warwick and other members of Houston's family were seen entering the hotel late Saturday afternoon.With the media swarm, the security and police presence around the Hilton was dramatically increased, as uniformed officers virtually ringed the hotel's perimeter around Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards.Although the mood was somber, the affair continued largely business as usual with a red carpet for the stars and schmoozing in the International Ballroom prior to the sit-down dinner.

'How to Succeed's' Beau Bridges on Taking Chances
'How to Succeed's' Beau Bridges on Taking Chances By Simi Horwitz January 6, 2012 Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Perhaps it seems unexpected for Beau Bridges to be tackling a Broadway musical at this stage of his career, but for him it's the logical next step. He recently replaced John Larroquette as corporate bigwig J.B. Biggley in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and will be on board through July 1. Though Bridges is best known for his extensive film and TV work, he points to his roster of theater credits on Broadway and in Los Angeles, including playing Sarah Brown's wise grandfather Arvide Abernathy in "Guys & Dolls" at the Hollywood Bowl in 2009, where he sang "More I Cannot Wish You." Like any other project Bridges is attracted to, "How to Succeed" is a great story, he says. Further, "it's already up and running, so all I have to do is jump in," he continues. "How could I turn it down? I've always loved music, my family has been jamming for years, and as I watched my brother Jeff getting into music after starring in 'Crazy Heart,' I was inspired." Bridges' career is on an upswing, not least thanks to his featured role as George Clooney's greedy hillbilly cousin in "The Descendants." But Bridges is especially excited about a play he has co-authored with his daughter, Emily, based on Richard Boleslavsky's 1933 book that Bridges' father, actor Lloyd Bridges, gave him when Beau was a youngster. It's titled, appropriately enough, "Acting: The First Six Lessons." "It's all about the Stanislavsky method and also the relationship between an acting teacher and his student, who he calls 'the creature.' " Bridges explains. The two-hander, which he and his daughter performed at Theatre West in 2010, has been published by Samuel French, and Bridges hopes to bring it to the East Coast. Bridges is every bit the family man, has four sons and one daughter, and is proud of his legendary Hollywood heritage.1. Water Everywhere. Bridges admits that his father opened doors for him. "I was lucky to have a dad in the industry who got me my first job in the film 'Zamba,' when I was 6," he recalls. "Later I appeared in 'Sea Hunt,' and so did my brother." "Sea Hunt" was a popular TV adventure series that starred Lloyd Bridges and ran from 1958 to 1961. Lloyd was an enthusiastic actor and loved his profession, Bridges recalls. But he was no stage parent, and neither brother was initially that serious about acting. Indeed, Bridges was interested in sports; his sights set on a basketball career, he played at UCLA and later at the University of Hawaii, where he phased out his college education and turned his attention to surfing.At the same time, he was landing spots on TV shows as he slowly moved back into the family business. But performing in the antiVietnam War play "Trial of the Catonsville Nine," by Daniel Berrigan, at the Mark Taper Forum, grabbed his attention and focused his efforts, partly because it spoke to his politics during those heady Vietnam years. "I recognized the entertainment aspect of stories, but every once in a while you get the chance to be in a play that talks about issues and that's exciting," he says.2. The Family That Plays Together. Looking back, he concedes, his family name may have magnified the scrutiny he received, but not much more than for anyone else who is doing relatively well. "It's a little unnerving to know people want to see you fail, but the positives far outweigh the negatives," Bridges says. "And the people who are scrutinizing me are giving me jobs. There are no jobs without an audience." Establishing his own artistic identity evolved naturally, he says, adding jealousy was never an issue in his close-knit clan. "I love working with my family," he says. "As Jeff and I got going, Dad would call and say, 'Anything for me?' There's never been a competitive aspect in our relationships. We enjoy watching each other's victories, and we're there for each other when one of us has a defeat." A personal and professional high point was appearing with his brother in "The Fabulous Baker Boys," and an ideal future project is its sequel, Bridges says. " 'The Fabulous Baker Boys Go to Kauai and Lie Around.' " He's only half-kidding.3. Constantly Evolving. Besides his father's tutelage, Bridges never studied acting formally. But then, Dad gave him the basics. "He told me, 'You want to tell the truth when you go out there. As long as it's your truth, it will seem like it's coming from a real place,' " Bridges remembers. "But every time I work, I'm learning." His ongoing relationship with Theatre West is a case in point. Whenever actors perform, their work is critiqued by colleagues. Bridges also cites the usefulness of David Ball's book, "Backwards & Forwards: A Technical Manual for Reading Plays." It has given him a new perspective on how to consider a play, its characters, and their relationships, he says.Bridges is a man of many interests and keeps his options open. Consider how he launched his singing career. As he tells it, he had been privately writing songs for quite a while but had not thought much of it until his wife asked him to record the songs for her birthday. His walking buddy, the great trumpet player Arturo Sandoval, expressed interest, and the two recorded five songs in Sandoval's studio. Friends and family were enthusiastic, and now the songs are available online. Recording them played a role in his willingness to try his hand at a Broadway musical, he says. "The big challenge for me in the show is the dancing."4. The Next Big Adventure. Bridges refuses to reflect on what he might have done differently in his career. "I appreciate my life, my opportunities, and I want to look beyond the past and be excited about what's coming down," he says. "I'd like to realize the play with my daughter. That's where my head is." Transience makes the business exciting. "Little births, little deaths, and melancholy when it's over," he says. "You think you'll never work again, and along comes another venture around the bend." "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" is playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, 302 W. 45th St., N.Y.

Liam Hemsworth, Dwayne Manley Enter An 'Empire State' Of Mind
Liam Hemsworth is really a genuine action star, as unlikely as that sounds. After visiting attention as Miley Cyrus's love in "The Final Song," the Aussie's taken his submit approaching beefy blockbusters like "The Hunger Games" and "The Expendables 2." Now, the push continues, as he's going to hit a Rock. Deadline reviews that Hemsworth is near to an offer to star in "Empire Condition," that they call an indie heist movie in line with the story of the 1982 New york city armed vehicle robbery. At that time, it had been the biggest cash grab in U.S. history. Can't you simply begin to see the taglines now? (Sample: "They stated it could not be achieved. They thought wrong.") In the event that's insufficient machismo, Dwayne "The Rock" Manley can also be in foretells star within the film in certain unspecified role. Since he's The Rock, it'll most likely be something inside your face. You need to balance that by helping cover their the "indie" side, though, meaning he or she is somewhat understated and multifaceted in comparison to his usual tough guy stance. Imagine him being an old-timey barber who's been from the overall game forever, but returns for just one last score. Imagine him like a strong, quiet type named "The Fixer" who are able to snap your neck in two but cries as you're watching "Bambi." Craziest of, imagine him as only a normal guy. Now that's impractical! Exactly what do you think about a potential Hemsworth-Manley collaboration? Leave your ideas within the comments section as well as on Twitter!

'Titanic' Movie Items: 9 Fake Products We Would Like
Just in case you do not know, 2012 may be the Year from the Titanic! You're thinking that James Cameron's three dimensional-ified rerelease is simply a random money-making plan?

To recognition probably the most luxurious sinking ever, the converted 'Titanic' is going to be sailing into theaters April 6 (the particular sinking happened on April 15) -- but for the truly obsessed (and decidedly not superstitious) you will see a Titanic memorial cruise, which follows the itinerary from the tragic voyage. (Really, this is available.) For landlocked Titanic fans, there's something for you personally, too. 1000's of items restored in the sunken ship goes on purchase inside a champion-take-all auction -- James Cameron, that's your signal!

So, it got us thinking: what can we would like -- with imaginary funds -- from an imaginary Titanic auction? Here are nine 'Titanic' movie items we'd never forget about. 1. Jack's Drawing. (This really offered for $16,000 in April, 2010.) 2. Rose's sexy robe before he draws her. 3. That vehicle they made it happen in. 4.
