See Ya Probably Never, 'Tarzan'

Looks like Alexander Skarsgard won't be beating his bare, chiseled chest while romping through the jungle any time soon — unless, of course, "True Blood" takes an unexpected turn for its sixth season.
That sound you hear is women across the world groaning in collective dismay, by the way.
Per Deadline, Warner Bros. is — at least temporarily — pulling the plug on the David Yates-led reboot of "Tarzan," which was set to feature "Zero Dark Thirty" femme Jessica Chastain as the dame Jane. Reportedly, the production halt stems from the studio being uncomfortable with the budget on-hand, but there may be a second lurking matter at issue, too: casting. Get More »

'Pulp Fiction' Almost Starred Daniel Day-Lewis and Matt Dillon
Miramax
In the 19 years since "Pulp Fiction" hit theaters, the film that made Quentin Tarantino a superstar has become a bona fide cinematic classic. Hell, it was a classic from the moment it first screened at the Cannes Film Festival. But as a new oral history of the film in Vanity Fair shows, "Pulp Fiction" was almost a very different film.
Forget Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis and John Travolta. How about "Pulp Fiction" starring Paul Calderon, Matt Dillon and Daniel Day-Lewis? Get More »

The 25 Coolest People in Movies

What does it mean to be cool? It's pretty damn subjective. So when compiling our list of the 25 coolest people making movies right now (somebody had to do it, right?), we accounted for various factors.
These are the actors who not only impress us onscreen (though that helps), but convey a certain genuineness off it, be it at awards shows, on TV appearances or during our own personal experiences interviewing them. They can be multi-talents, also excelling at music, art or writing. And they can make a habit of turning up in hilarious viral videos or even at your local karaoke bar.
But most of all, these are the 25 actors we'd really just like to sit down and have a beer with.
Welcome to NextMovie's 1st annual Cool List – and let us know who makes your own list in the comments section below. Get More »

Samuel L. Jackson Joins Spike Lee's 'Oldboy' Remake

Director Spike Lee now has his torture victim lined up for his upcoming remake of Park Chan-wook's "Oldboy." Joining the cast for what's being described as a "small but critical part" will be the one and only Samuel L. Jackson.
Lee and Jackson have worked together four times before - in "School Daze," "Do The Right Thing," "Mo Better Blues," and "Jungle Fever" - but it's been quite a while since their last collaboration (eleven years).
Those familiar with Chan-wook Park's original film will be hard-pressed to forget the torturous revenge scene Jackson's signed up for - let's just say the tooth fairy has a busy night - but the film will reportedly alter it up a bit (per the L.A. Times, "it's [still] plenty painful").
Chan-wook's "Oldboy" was released in 2003, telling the story of a man who, after being kidnapped for fifteen years, finally makes his escape and has a very limited opportunity to get ahold of his captor for answers. It's definitely a cult classic in the thriller world, so it'll be very interesting to see what Spike Lee has come up with to justify a remake so soon.
Jackson will be featured opposite Josh Brolin, who's portraying the kidnapping victim-turned-vengeant hero in the movie. And what a show down it will be! We just hope the hammer is still the weapon du jour … We digress.
Elizabeth Olsen is also attached to star, and production is expected to begin this fall in Louisiana and New York. Composer Bruce Hornsby (who did Spike Lee's latest, "Red Hook Summer") has been tapped to score the film.
