Happy Wednesday! Also in today's edition of The Broadsheet: Steve Carell faces a Conviction... Notes from the Expendables 2 stunt-death aftermath... The least-sexy award in Hollywood? ...and more.
· Terrence Malick is back in the news this week with not one, but two films in the works for 2012. Lawless and Knight of Cups would both star Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett, with Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara also joining the first and Isabel Lucas signing up for the second. The films, which will shoot back-to-back, are pursuing foreign pre-sales at the American Film Market and will presumably be released sometime around, oh, 2018. [Deadline]
· Steve Carell is attached to lead Conviction, a Black List-ed thriller-turned-action comedy about an incarcerated master bank robber enlisted by the feds to entrap his protege. This one's still in the early development stages, so keep your expectations in check and feel free to suggest new titles; the one it's got won't likely be sticking around. [Deadline]
· A week after the accident that killed one stuntman and critically injured another on the Bulgaria set of The Expendables 2, producers are vehemently denying a rumor that they were doubles for Jet Li and Sylvester Stallone. Because that matters. [Variety]
· Apparently there is such a thing as the Variety Home Entertainment Hall of Fame, a three-decade-old institution whose 2011 inductees include Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn, Nintendo of America and the Harry Potter film franchise. Winners receive enshrinement next to the OSHA poster in the Variety kitchen and a framed square of carpet from Peter Bart's old office. [Variety]
· Actual headline: "Kardashian apologizes to fans for failed marriage." Cry, it's OK. [AP]
· What is "bluffting," anyway? I'd say don't ask, but Kim Kardashian is probably doing it right now, so... The future is here! Sorry about that. [WSJ via The Awl]
