Adam Scott: 'Party Down movie to shoot next summer

Adam Scott has said that a Party Down movie could shoot next summer.

The Parks and Recreation star revealed that a film based on the short-lived Starz series is nearly complete, insisting that shooting could begin as early as next summer.

"We're like 90% there, we're hoping to do it maybe next summer, if everyone's schedules work out and the guys get time to write a script," Scott told The Playlist.

He continued: "They have kind of a skeleton of a story worked out so we know where it's going to go but we just have to kind of cross the Ts and dot the Is, or something. But Starz are being super-cool and they're going to let us do it, and we're all excited, we all want to do it."

Party Down creator Rob Thomas first revealed in June that a movie was in the works, saying that he hoped to begin shooting as early as spring 2012.

"Ideally, if it works out, we could be shooting in television hiatus time next spring," Thomas said. "Hopefully that deal will close, and we'll all tweet about it when it does."

Meanwhile, actress Lizzy Caplan expressed interest in a film version of the series in April, insisting that a movie could do well in cinemas despite the show's poor ratings.

J.J. Abrams signs on to direct 'Star Trek 2'

J.J. Abrams is ready to engage. EW has confirmed that the insatiable media multi-hyphenate has signed on to direct the sequel to his 2009 hit Star Trek. (Vulture first reported the story.) The first film’s screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are penning the screenplay with producer Damon Lindelof, and the main cast — including Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto (pictured, right, with Abrams on the set of the 2009 Trek) — are all set to return. The untitled sequel was originally scheduled to come out June 2012, but the film has moved off of that date to give the writers enough time to polish the script.

Abrams’ first crack in the captain’s chair netted the reboot the highest-ever grosses for a Trek movie, pulling in $257 million domestically, and $385 million worldwide.

Sylvester Stallone talks about who's on board for 'Expendables 2' -- EXCLUSIVE

When The Expendables hit theaters last summer, it seemed like virtually every action star of a certain age dropped by to flex their biceps and kick some keister. But apparently writer-director-star Sylvester Stallone still thinks there’s room for more macho men in the upcoming sequel. In a recent interview with EW, Stallone said that not only would Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger have meatier parts the second go-round, but that he’s also added Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme to the mix and, fingers crossed, we may even see Nicolas Cage and John Travolta getting in on the mayhem, too.

Prior to the first Expendables, we reported that Stallone had been rebuffed by Van Damme when he offered him a part in the all-star cast, which included Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, and a who’s who of other hulking he-men. But now the Muscles From Brussels is saddling up. “We’ll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one,” says Stallone, who heads to Bulgaria at the end of this month to start shooting. The movie is aiming for an Aug. 2012 release.

This time out, Stallone is only working in front of the camera. Directing duties will be handled by Con Air‘s Simon West. Which, come to think of it, may have had something do with luring another new Expendable: Nic Cage. “We’ve got Chuck Norris and I think Nic Cage,” says Stallone. “We’re trying to work out different scenarios. I like using people that had a moment and then maybe have fallen on some hard times and give them another shot. So we’re always looking for actors like Michael Biehn and Michael Pare. I like those kinds of guys. Someone did it for me and I like to see if I can do it for them. We also need some new blood in there, a Navy Seal-type, because with the Expendables none of them have 20-20 vision anymore. They need some help, man.”

As for reports that Travolta may also join the expandable Expendables cast, Stallone says, “It’s possible. The one thing I’ve learned is what is a fact on Monday is a complete fallacy on Tuesday. A lot of it is scheduling. It’s not financial. It’s just that Bulgaria is definitely a jaunt. It’s a commitment, you know what I mean? Especially in the dead of winter.”

Kat Dennings 'unsure of Thor 2 return

Kat Dennings has said that she is unsure of whether she will return for Thor 2.

The 2 Broke Girls star revealed that while she would love to reprise her role from this year's superhero film, she has yet to be asked back.

"Marvel is so secretive; we never know anything until the last minute," Dennings told Collider. "One of the things that happened when I signed for [2 Broke Girls] was to make sure that I could still do films on my hiatus, so they would absolutely work that out. I did Thor before I did this show, so they would find a way to work everything out, if I was in Thor 2."

Dennings went on to talk about her role as Max in 2 Broke Girls, saying that she appreciates how relatable the character is.

"I just love how real Max is," the actress said. "Max is so hard-working. All she has to think about are her jobs and her rent. She's never really had a moment to relax. It's nice to watch that journey unfold."

Dennings explained in March that she has never concerned herself with fame, believing that retaining humility is key to dealing with success.

2 Broke Girls will premiere in the US on September 19.

Harrison Ford: 'Indiana Jones return would be delightful

Harrison Ford has said that he would be "delighted" to star in a fifth Indiana Jones movie.

The 69-year-old explained that he wanted a new picture to be made so that audiences could "learn" more about the whip-cracking adventurer.

Joking about the extra-terrestrial involvement in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Ford told LA Times: "Maybe [I'll do] a fifth, but I ain't going to Mars. Next time we get a script for Indiana Jones, I'd be delighted to play the character.

"Each time we meet him, we wanted to advance the audience's understanding of the character, not just by putting him in adventures, but by learning something about him.

"That's what led to the meeting of his father [in The Last Crusade], played by Sean Connery, and his son [in Crystal Skull], played by Shia [LaBeouf], and bringing Marion (Karen Allen) back."

Ford admitted last month that he was unsure whether a fifth Indiana Jones film would get made.

Christina Hendricks: 'I'd play Wonder Woman in a heartbeat

Christina Hendricks has revealed that she would be interested in playing Wonder Woman if a film were to be made.

A movie based on the super heroine has been mooted for some time. Director Nicolas Winding Refn has claimed that studio executives have promised to support him with a film version provided his remake of Logan's Run performs well at the box office.

Refn has also named Hendricks as his first choice to play the lead role should he be at the helm.

Hendricks, who recently worked with Refn on the movie Drive, explained to New York magazine that she was a big fan of Wonder Woman in her childhood, and said that she would sign up for the film "in a heartbeat".

"I grew up on the TV show, and I had Wonder Woman Underoos, and my brother had a Wonder Woman doll - sorry, Aaron, you're exposed," she laughed.

"Nicolas said, when we were on set, 'I want you to be Wonder Woman'. And I think he is such an extraordinary and exceptional director, that if he asked me to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat."

Joss Whedon was once attached to the director's chair for a possible Wonder Woman movie. Whedon had previously named Angelina Jolie as his first choice, but also considered Hendricks as a possible lead.

"I'd like to think that Joss would have cast me," she added. "I also loved working with Joss [on Firefly]. I'm excited to see what he does with The Avengers. Hopefully the stars would align [for Wonder Woman]. It would be really fun. It would be cool, wouldn't it? I'd get to kick ass."

Speaking about how she would like to play Wonder Woman, she said: "Well, I would certainly do what Nicolas wanted to do, and I can only guess what his version would be, but as I grew up with - and am now married to - a comic book fan, I think it's important to be true to the original comic books, because I know that the fans love every detail and it's very important to them.

"So I think it would be cool to do that. I look forward to learning more about it, actually. I should probably start reading them, so that if someone were to ask me [to be in the movie], I would be fully prepared."

I would be surprised if this movie ever gets made because they are always talking about a Wonder Woman movie.

The film is called Postman Pat: The Movie - You Know You're The One. It will see the animated postman taking part in a television talent contest and achieving overnight fame.

Episodes and Green Wing actor Stephen Mangan will voice Pat. He said in a statement: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be playing the world's best-known postman in his big screen debut. He's an iconic British hero and it's a great script.

"However, when I excitedly told my 3-year-old son that I was going to be Postman Pat, he said, 'No you're not, dad, don't be silly.'"

Postman Pat made its debut on BBC One in 1981 and the announcement was made to mark the character's 30th anniversary.

Harry Potter star Grint added: "I used to watch Postman Pat when I was a small boy. My brother and sisters all did at some stage.

"Postman Pat is one of those British symbols, I suppose. You are totally familiar with him and his cat Jess, even if you have never watched the series."

Academy Award winner Broadbent said that he was "excited" about working with "such an iconic figure".

Tennant and Broadbent have also appeared in the Harry Potter movie series as death eater Barty Crouch Jr and potions tutor Horace Slughorn respectively.

Gary Oldman: 'Nobody knows Dark Knight Rises ending

Gary Oldman has revealed that he may be the only member of the Dark Knight Rises cast to know the film's ending.

The Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy actor explained that director Christopher Nolan has been so desperate to keep details of the project secret that scripts were sent out with pages missing, while other cast members were forbidden from reading the screenplay in private.

"Christopher doesn't want anyone to ruin it and I completely understand that," he told Contactmusic. "The newer people on the film go to his office to read the script.

"They sent mine out, but it had to be hand-delivered directly to me and nobody else. And the final few pages were missing. I went along and talked to Christopher and in person about the ending. Then I locked it away in my head."

Nestor Carbonell, who plays Gotham City mayor Anthony Garcia, admitted this week that he did not receive a script for The Dark Knight Rises.

Star Joseph Gordon-Levitt has also urged Batman fans to avoid spoilers, insisting that viewers "will have the best experience if [they] just trust" Nolan

The Wolverine' delay confirmed by Hugh Jackman

The Wolverine has had its start date delayed until next year, Hugh Jackman has confirmed.

The Real Steel star told Leicester Square TV that filming on the project has been pushed back by his commitment to Tom Hooper's Les Misérables.
