Over a period that spanned many years, Wayne Coyne and his compatriots in The Flaming Lips made a movie called Christmas on Mars. The film is a weird psychedelic adventure that isn’t for all tastes, but you have to respect it for at least one thing: Coyne wanted to make a movie, and proceeded to collect junk that he turned into sets in his back yard. Christmas on Mars was born of a simple desire to make a movie, and Coyne saw it through.
Now he says that there is another film planned, and that he wants to recruit a load of famous guest stars. First target: Justin Timberlake. Read More »

Variety has confirmed a casting rumor report from last month for David Fincher big screen adaptation of The Social Network. Jesse Eisenberg has signed to play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (how perfect is that casting?), Andrew Garfield is set to play Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and Justin Timberlake will play internet entrepreneur Sean Parker (Napster). Production will begin next month in Boston and later move to Los Angeles.
As I have said previously, this is shaping up to be a very solid cast. If you kn ow anything about these characters, I think you’d agree. I don’t normally like Timberlake, but anyone who knows the story for the film or has read the book will know he’s the perfect person to play Parker. Garfield broke onto the scene with a Award-winning performance in Boy A, and has since appeared in Lions for Lambs, The Other Boleyn Girl, Red Riding, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Carson Reeves has heard that not only has David Fincher begun casting on the big screen adaptation of The Social Network, but that the cast might already be set. Rumor has it that Jesse Eisenberg has signed to play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (how perfect is that casting?), Andrew Garfield is set to play Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and Justin Timberlake will play internet entrepreneur Sean Parker (Napster).
If true, this is shaping up to be a very solid cast, but what else would you expect from a Fincher production? I don’t normally like Timberlake, but anyone who knows the story for the film or has read the book will know he’s the perfect person to play Parker. Garfield broke onto the scene with a Award-winning performance in Boy A, and has since appeared in Lions for Lambs, The Other Boleyn Girl, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Update: Nope, it’s not a massive rumor. THR just ran the news that Justin Timberlake, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Reynolds have all been circling Green Lantern. The three had been in a ‘holding deal’ which expired this past Monday, but different producers on the film all had different favorites, and a consensus still hasn’t been reached. But with the announcement that they’ve come this far, we should hear a decision within the next few days. And if it is Reynolds, what does that do to Deadpool?
Original story follows:
AICN is posting a big but interesting rumor based on an email tip: supposedly Justin Timberlake is screen testing to appear as Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern movie for Warner Bros., and that he’s one of the actors in serious consideration for the role. This is wildly unsubstantiated stuff and therefore not to be taken too seriously. But it’s worth posting because, the more I think about it, I kinda like the idea. For my money, it’s perhaps a better idea than previous rumors like Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. So before you dismiss outright, even if this really is total bullshit, check out some thoughts after the jump. Read More »

Steven Spielberg’s Five Friends
The Pitch: What if I told you that Steven Spielberg just directed a project featuring Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Justin Timberlake, Tobey Maguire, Scarlett Johannson, Julia Roberts, Ben Stiller, Ryan Reynolds, Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf (of course), Cameron Diaz, Snoop Dog, Zach Braff, Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, and even Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat. This is of course, the follow-up to the popular “Five Friends” viral video that we previously featured. The end result might actually be the least entertaining thing Spielberg has ever directed. But hey, it’s a 5-minute short film directed by Spielberg, so we gotta post it. And, hey, its a good message.
