Here is a round up of stories that just didn’t make the /Film front page, or what we like to call…. Page 2!

Global Nerdy brings us the photo of the day: Speeder Dogs.
Charles Grodin will cameo in Jason Segel’s new Muppet Movie. [mtv]
TorrentSpy already shut its doors earlier this year, and now they have been [...]

Juno II Movie Trailer created by Mad TV
The Pitch: “From the irritatingly quirky mind of Oscar Award winning Diablo Cody comes the sequel that half the country has been violently waiting for. Juno kills a homeless man and has conversations full of inane pop-cultured nonsense.”
Video of the Day is a daily feature of /Film showcasing [...]

Juno hits DVD on April 15th 2008, and the special edition DVD features 11 deleted scenes.
Fox Searchlight has released an advance look at one of those scenes. “Cafe Triste” features Juno (Ellen Page) performing a one man show at a little cafe with best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) and always-awkward former semi-boyfriend Paulie Bleeker (Michael [...]

“Wasn’t me.”
Peter emailed me the following question regarding the announcement that Justin Long will now star in Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell: How did a movie go from so much potential with a return to old form, an Oscar nominated actress [Ellen Page] attached, to a Justin Long movie? I have no idea, but [...]

Blonds tells fewer blog jokes, it’s a fact, so maybe director Sam Raimi is onto something by casting actress Alison Lohman (Beowulf, Flicka) in the lead role formerly occupied by Ellen Page (Juno) in his upcoming horror thriller Drag Me to Hell.
Oscar nominee Page aborted the project days ago amid rumors that she was [...]

The horror genre’s nasty feud with Oscar nominees continues, as Juno star Ellen Page has pulled out out of the dark place that is director Sam Raimi’s upcoming horror-thriller Drag Me to Hell. Bloody Disgusting reports that the sweet tart wasn’t happy over the latest draft of the script, which was written by Raimi and [...]

“Yeah, like, why do so many of Slash Film’s readers wanna collect my bones and stuff?”
Comparable to blurting out a hat trick of her favorite indie bands outside a Cat Power concert, Ellen Page (Juno :) just booked her third film in a month’s time, following Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell and Drew [...]

Sam Raimi doesn’t get his dream job of directing the Lord of the Rings Hobbit prequels… What is the Spider-Man director to do? Anything he wants - he’s Sam f’n Raimi. And what Raimi wants is the hottest actress in Hollywood right now in his next film.
Ellen Page has been cast in Raimi’s Drag Me [...]

“We are, like, major.”
The day all hardcore Kimya Dawson fans and Chan Marshall’s Miami hangers-on have dreaded is here, as the Juno Soundtrack has taken Soundscan’s gold medal, with 65,000 units sold. And take note, because this is the first time a soundtrack for a Best Picture nominee has dangled its legs from atop [...]

Smart People is probably the first adopted pedophile incest comedy, although I wouldn’t really call it that (that’s really just the subplot). Here is the plot synopsis from my early review: Dennis Quaid plays Lawrence Wetherhold, a miserable and pompous college professor who suffers a head trauma while trying to jump the fence at a [...]

If anyone remains unsure, Heath Ledger’s filming and voice work on The Dark Knight were completed before his unfortunate death yesterday (click here for latest updates). However, it would seem that the status of his last film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which marked his second collaboration with director Terry Gilliam following 2005’s The Brothers [...]

Dennis Quaid plays Lawrence Wetherhold, a miserable and pompous college professor who suffers a head trauma while trying to jump the fence at a car impound lot. Unable to drive himself around, his screw-up adopted-brother Chuck (played by the incomparable Thomas Haden Church) moves in and becomes his personal chauffeur (if he can ever remember [...]

After she’s done filming the lesbian werewolf movie Jack and Diane, might Juno starlet Ellen Page slip into a pair of roller skates for Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut?
Unless another famous gal’s name rhymes with “Shmellen Shmage,” that’s what Shauna Cross, author of the novel Derby Girl and its adapted screenplay Whip It, tells Film School [...]

Juno is my favorite movie of 2007. Over the last couple months I’ve talked to hundreds of people who have seen the movie and have only met a couple people who didn’t love it. There are three things that everyone always talks about after seeing this film: The incredible script by Diablo Cody, the amazing [...]

“That ain’t no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can’t be un-did, homeskillet.” - Rainn Wilson as Rollo in Juno
Los Angeles-based Etch-a-sketch artist (who knew there was such a thing) Elliot Sharron recently saw Juno (”The best movie of 2007!”) and sketched this picture of Michael Cera and Ellen Page from Jason Reitman’s film. Elliot [...]
