Danny Boyle goes to the Olympics, Mark Wahlberg pitches the Entourage movie and the rest of Hollywood Ink after the jump.
· No one can accuse Danny Boyle of staying inside the box. The Academy Award winner is in talks to presumably direct the opening ceremonies at the London Olympics in 2012. Nothing has been signed yet, but apparently the committee is looking for "the most imaginative ceremony the world has ever seen." And with crazy-looking cyclops as mascots, they are certainly well on their way! Boyle is currently working on 127 Hours with soap opera star James Franco. [/Film]
· When Mark Wahlberg wasn't cursing out a kid from Harry Potter at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, he was talking about the Entourage film you don't want to see! "I am more focused on making that movie than my own films. I just think we can make a great movie." Okay, so what's his idea? "In the trailer, you see [Ari and his associate, Lloyd] waking up together in Vegas not knowing what happened. It would be pretty cool!" So it's The Hangover but with Jeremy Piven. Sounds (not) awesome. [MTV]
· Future Les Grossman feature film star Tom Cruise got some good news yesterday. Knight and Day -- the film he should have been promoting at the MTV Movie Awards -- had its release date moved up two days to June 23rd. Get your tickets now! [THR]
· And it's official: Zac Efron c-blocked girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens. Because Efron's Charlie St. Cloud was scheduled to open the same day as Hudgens' Beastly, CBS moved the film to March 18, 2011. No truth to the rumor that Efron has already been to Zales to pick up the "Kobe Special." [THR]
