Tom Cruise's new girlfriend Katie Holmes is being tipped to play the actor's love interest in the third installment of "Mission Impossible" reports Ananova. Scarlett Johansson was previously attached to an earlier script version, and this week teen actress Lindsay Lohan said she was very keen on grabbing the part. Now, according to the New York Post - insiders say the "Batman Begins" and "Dawson's Creek" star "will step up as the leading lady." Shooting is scheduled to begin shortly.
Dear Katie,
I don't particularly buy into your PRomance, but I urge you to go and rent Days of Thunder.
George Lucas has done an 'availability check' on Aussie actor Matthew Newton ("Looking for Alibrandi", "Queen of the Damned", TV's "Farscape") to see if he's free for his upcoming 100 episode "Star Wars" TV series reports Moviehole
Um, yeah. George barely eeked out 6 movies in 30 years, 2 of them disaterously lacking in quality. 100 hours? I do hope he's calling in some nice big guns to help out with this.
People connected to the 1980 comedy "9 to 5" are hoping they can talk Fonda into doing a sequel reports MSNBC. "They've wanted to for years," says a source. "There's been scripts, potential directors, the works, but everyone thought that for it to really work, they'd need the three leads from the original film." The source says that both Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin were game, but because Fonda had retired from movie making, the project was on hold indefinitely. Now that Fonda is back and doing comedy, they're optimistic. "They've talked to Fonda and think they can make this happen. There's some discussion that it might be called '9 to 5:30.'"
Er...
I loved the original "9 to 5," but now that a quarter-century has passed, isn't it a bit late for a sequel when the office workers should be retired and collecting Social Security by now?

i just think it's a weird to see the story you just read from another blog on the next. is there really a lack of interesting information on the internet these days?
