Sex and the City 2: 2 Fast 2 Fabulous!

No, that's not the official title, but it's been confirmed that Project Runway's feisty fashion consultant Tim Gunn will be making a cameo appearance in the sequel!

It's not clear yet on what Gunn's role actually is, but reports say that he's playing himself. Why would you want Tim Gunn to do anything else?

Gunn isn't the only one with a cameo: Miley Cyrus is said to be playing herself in a scene in which she and Samantha Jones hit the same red carpet in the same dress. How's that for a fashion faux pas?

Penelope Cruz is also making an appearance, as is Liza Minnelli. That's a whole LOT of fabulous, folks!

Sex and the City 2 is currently filming, with a targeted release date of May 28, 2010.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Warner Bros. is moving the production, citing "the current global economic situation, including fluctuations in currency valuation and overall costs. We have also had to reassess film projects in other countries as well."

"After working closely with our partners at the NSW Film and Television Office (Screen NSW) and examining every scenario, we have decided to move the production of 'Green Lantern.' We are extremely grateful for the assistance we have received from the NSW Government, Fox Studios and the NSW filmmaking community," the WB statement said.

Warner Bros. is currently contemplating where the production should go. Mexico and Canada are the two most likely places.

The Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds, is scheduled to be released on June 17, 2011.

Raimi Finaly Gets a Clue

Sam Raimi isn't insane after all. He's just finally managed to pull his head out of his ass.

Recently interviewed in the print edition of DVD & Blu-ray Review, he had this to say about the complaints that there were too many villains in Spider-Man 3: "I think having so many villains detracted from the experience. I would agree with the criticism."

He also went on to say that he has learned some new lessons and storytelling tricks from working on his latest film, Drag Me to Hell.

"I think I've learned about the importance of getting to the point and the importance of having limitations, and I'm hoping to take that into a production where I'm actually allowed to explore with more of the tools to pull it off with a little more splendor. I hope I don't lose that edge that I've just found. That would be my approach to Spider-Man 4: to get back to the basics."

Well, thank god! Raimi has always been one of my favorite filmmakers, and it's because of the ingenuity and vitality of his earlier works. As of late, I had grown really tired of watching him sleep through big-budget drivel like Spider-Man 3. It's like he's been in a coma. A bloated, money-drenched coma. Sounds like Hell did him some good!

Bring on Spider-Man 4! With this new attitude, it could be the Spider-Man film we always wanted to see, but never got...

Saw Series Gets Three Dimensional

Okay, so Saw VI hasn't even hit theaters yet, and the producers over at Twisted Pictures are already telling us to get ready for not one, but probably two more installments. And this time, the terror will be leaping off the screen!

Tanedra Saw

No matter what you may think of the Saw franchise, it's definitely this decade's Friday the 13th series, with a new film pumped out each year. Each film keeps making a nice profit, which keeps the wheels turning at Twisted Pictures, and Lionsgate, the Saw series distributor. 

Next year, fans will have another thing to be afraid of. No, not another Jigsaw, but Jigsaw in 3-D! "'Saw,' just by the way it's shot, lends itself to being a 3-D movie," says producer Mark Burg.

Twisted Pictures apparently did a test with the original Saw, converting certain scenes to 3-D using new software that replicates the stereoscopic effect from regular 2-D footage. The test was so successful that they've decided to make the next big leap.

"We're not going to transfer "Saw VII," but we'll actually shoot it in 3-D," Burg continues. "We want to be able to build the sets in a way that takes advantage of depth. We're going to design traps to come out at you."

"When we go to 3-D on the Saw films, it's like an anti-3-D movie," adds writer Patrick Melton. "We're now in a box, and it's going to make the house of horrors come to life even more. Now we have a lead character and you're going to be inside this place with him and when things come out at him, they'll also come out at you."

Sounds like a creepy diorama, and they're not stopping at seven. "We have the story threaded through 'Saw VIII,'" says Burg. "Where it goes beyond that, I couldn't tell you."

As long as people keep paying, they'll keep making Saw films. Even though I tuned out after part 3, I'm still open to giving part 3-D a chance.

Saw VI opens October 23.

Ryan Reynolds is a Transvestite?

You know, you could tell us that and we'd believe you, but it's just a rumor about his next movie.

Ryan Reynolds clapping

Working Title is employing Alan Loeb to pen the next Ryan Reynolds comedy vehicle. The project, as of yet untitled, is a "dude-in-drag romantic comedy, with Reynolds playing a jilted lover who must disguise himself as a woman and befriend his ex in order to win her back."

Well, I guess it has been a while since we've had a good cross-dressing comedy. No, I'm not counting White Chicks...

With Reynolds busy with several other high-profile projects, one has to wonder where on the totem pole this project lies.

Working Title has a first look deal with Universal.

Penelope Cruz Has Sex and the City!

Penelope Cruz has joined the cast of Sex and the City 2, People Magazine reports.

Penelope Cruz Picture

The sequel to the popular Sex and the City: The Movie will reunite cast regulars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, and will feature Penelope Cruz in a cameo role.

Cruz' character is rumored to be competition for Parker's Carrie Bradshaw. Spotted in a sultry black dress on the Manhattan set, Cruz filmed a scene in which she gets a little too close to Mr. Big, played by Chris Noth.

Aw hell no! Check out the full article here, which also expounds on Liza Minnelli's role in the film.

Twisted's Burg Talks Texas Chainsaw

Last week, it was reported that Saw-maker Twisted Pictures was making a deal to purchase the franchise rights to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This week, Producer Mark Burg tells us a little bit more about the future of the franchise.

"What we're going to do with it is bring it to 2010," says Burg. "Make it current day and come up with a new story that takes some of the basic plot points, if you will, and make it a current day movie. I don't want to make another Chainsaw in the '70s, that doesn't thrill me."

Chris Pine's Patriot Games

Move over Harrison Ford, there may be a new Jack Ryan in the house. Word around the Hollywood campfire is that Paramount Pictures is in talks with Star Trek's Chris Pine to play CIA analyst Jack Ryan in a reboot of franchise based on the best-selling Tom Clancy novels.

Pine Time

Okay, sure Harrison Ford already gave up the Jack Ryan mantle to Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears, but everyone knows that was a mistake, so we won't count it. Shhhhh!

Pine would be the fourth actor to play Jack Ryan, following Alec Baldwin in The Hunt For Red October, Harrison Ford in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, and the one we won't speak of in The Sum of All Fears.

Pine was recently interviewed about the inevitable Star Trek sequel and what else is coming next for him in this interview.
