Hollywood’s remake obsession refuses to die, with their latest victim being the popular Western, Gunsmoke. That’s right, I’m referring to the television series that ran from 1955 – 1975 that took place in infamous Dodge City, Kansas. A lot of people grew up on that show, and now some genius in a studio boardroom wants to bring it to the big screen.
A dark cloud has hovered over the George Miller sequel Happy Feet 2, ever since the unexpected death of one of the first film’s leading voices, Brittany Murphy. There’s been no word on who will replace the actress for the follow up but according to Movieline two of Hollywood’s biggest leading men have recently signed on.
Immediately the music front dove in to help the estimated 3 million people who are in need in Haiti and Hollywood soon followed in the action. Wyclef Jean, who is known for being part of the Fugees, is also a native of Haiti himself and was one of the first musicians to tweet about his concern for the country’s state of disaster and help set up the Haiti Earthquake Fund for people to easily give $5 to (details below). It’s no big surprise that humanitarian couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt joined Wyclef and others in their efforts to raise money, the couple gave $1 million dollars towards Doctors Without Border.
Pitt said in a recent statement:
Brad Pitt and his production company Plan B are about to venture into the world of video games according to Variety. The actor will take on the role of producer for the upcoming film adaptation of Dark Void. Void is an upcoming computer game title that’s produced by Capcom, and has potential to become a movie franchise.
A while back there were so many rumors about Brad Pitt appearing in the Guy Ritchie adaption of Sherlock Holmes. The role in question was of Moriarty, a well known villain in the Holmes book series. The rumor was quickly debunked by Warner Bros, but now it’s starting to rear its ugly head once again. This time, speculation has Pitt appearing in the sequel to the upcoming film that hasn’t even hit theaters yet.
It’s finally time for Quentin Tarantino’s war epic Inglourious Basterds starring Brad Pitt, Mélanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, B.J. Novak to hit theaters and all I can say is get your asses over to the theater now!

As, we previously mentioned in our Weekend Roundup, Oobermind, the animated villain with a cranium shaped like a light bulb has gone through a voice change. The upcoming feature film of the same name was set to have Robert Downey, Jr. star as it’s title character. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts that is a no-go. According to Empire, Downey has been replaced by funny man Will Ferrell, who will be joined by two other comedic geniuses and an “inglourious basterd” in the cast.

Actor Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie have a home in the the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.
