Hollywood Ink: When You Get Caught Between Jennifer Garner and Nick Nolte...

· Jennifer Garner and Nick Nolte are in negotiations to join the forthcoming remake of Arthur, featuring Russell Brand as the titular drunken playboy who must choose between his downmarket dream girl (Greta Gerwig) and the upper-crust WASP (Garner) he's supposed to fall for -- lest he lose his inheritance. Nolte will play the woman's "deeply religious" father; the Brand/Nolte bonding experience shouldn't make for any outrageous, semi-uncomfortable behind-the-scenes DVD extras or anything. [THR]

Angelina Jolie gets tacked on to a new Cleopatra, Clash of the Titans 2 is coming at you and more Hollywood Ink after the jump.

· Get your grain of salt: The author of a new Cleopatra biography dropped Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's names as ideal movie approximations of the historic power couple, a casting suggestion apparently corroborated by Scott Rudin's office, which confirmed it had acquired the rights and was developing the screen adaptation "for and with" Jolie. Mm-hmm. Anyway, there's that. [USA Today via Vulture]
