Kingdom Come
· As we mentioned earlier, Animal Kingdom, David Michôd's darkly delicious Australian crime saga, is coming your way. And if you're sick of only having that one Sundance promotional still to look at, here's a whole teaser set to "All Out of Love," the most terrifying song ever written.
· The National Enquirer is officially in the running for a Pulitzer for their coverage of the John Edwards scandal. Their coverage of the "Sally Jesse Raphael Balloons to 300 Pounds! 'We're worried about her,' says close friend" scandal was rejected, however. [HuffPo]
· Warner Bros. has signed a two-year overall deal with Zac Efron. [Deadline]
· Remember the WTFsterpiece that was the "Blame It on the Alcohol" video? It seems Jake Gyllenhaal is ready to try his hand at music video background work once more, this time in Vampire Weekend's "Giving Up The Gun." The concept, according to director Emmett Malloy: "We lit shit on fire. We had RZA presiding over the tennis match. Lil Jon came down to give some tennis tips. Jake Gyllenhaal drank himself out of the competition; Joe Jonas tried, but did not succeed. There was a lot of rigorous competition, pyrotechnics, and a little bit of milk to cap it all off." [The Playlist]
· Noted horror auteur Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice) is taking on Tunnels, a kid's book whose eventual adaptation will be rated R for graphic archaeology-related violence/gore and strong sexual situations, some involving 14-year-old albinos. [FirstShowing]
· Aw: Carl Fredricksen in 'Up' in the Air. Now I'd like to see what they did with District 'Nine'. [/Film]

1. Nice use of the music as counterpoint, and didn't give away the whole plot, only just enough to get you interested. Well done trailer.
2. And those bastards on the Pulitzers refused to even acknowledge my "Elvis Impregnates Bigfoot" story.
3. Well, that's a gamble.
4. It's the best acting he does.
5. Good, there's not enough R-Rated kid's entertainment these days. How will the children learn? The internet? 😉
6. He is still more human than George Clooney.
F-you straight to Hell, Abramovitch. Air Supply is awesome!
And based on the news that Efron got a two year deal?...
Maybe you should start praying for forgiveness because it looks like the Mayans might be right about 2012.
Furious D = DeeZee?
Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; logic merely then dictates the National Enquirer will receive the Pulitzer Prize. Satirical reality for the win.
Glad to see Guy Pearce reprising his role of person who is in movie for five minutes (see: Hurt Locker, Road. Ps if you didn't get that joke without help from the parenthesis, please never talk to me thanks.)
