Yowza! Ryan Kavanaugh has kicked the tires, squeezed the numbers into his infamous spreadsheet and pulled the trigger on a deal for Overture Films. Kavanaugh's Relativity Media just announced it will take the troubled studio off Starz's hands, absorbing 45 employees (another 20+ will lose their jobs), Overture's marketing and distribution chiefs, and the remainder of Overture's 2010 slate -- including Let Me In, Jack Goes Boating and Stone.

Apparently Leonardo DiCaprio's camp has finally listened to the all the Mel Gibson tapes circulating online. A source says that the long-rumored Viking project that Gibson would direct with DiCaprio set to star isn't happening: "There's not even a script yet.

Nope, these aren't the latest cigarette ads from Camel. They're the new character posters for Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch! The cool part is that each recalls a different film: Harry Potter, Kill Bill, Lord of the Rings, Terminator. The bad part -- beyond the sexual exploitation of the young cast -- is the over-the-top retouching, the likes of which hasn't been seen since Sex and the City 2. Click ahead to check them out.
Producers for Dreams of a Dying Heart have narrowed their search for a leading man down to two: Josh Brolin and Matthew McConaughey. One of them will star opposite Hillary Swank in the film, a dramatic thriller about woman (Swank) just home from Iraq and seeing bizarre and increasingly unreal visions. Or are they?

"What's your name, man?" Robert Rodriguez asked.
"Mike." For some reason, at least half of them were named Mike. This one was a little huskier.
"Mike, man. Cool," said the director. "Beef or chicken?"
If you believe everyone involved with Saw, star Tobin Bell will never again be forced to answer the question, "What's it like to be the next icon of horror?" Lionsgate has announced that Saw 3D -- the seventh installment in torture porn franchise set for release in October -- will be the last. Well, at least the last until they reboot the thing in 2016.

As a big story in this weekend's NYT Magazine declaims, "The Web Means the End of Forgetting." But that's only part of the truth when it comes to The Vault, the long-awaited archive of classic interviews, features and other Hollywood coverage from Movieline's original print era up to today.

The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World panel at Comic-Con concluded with director Edgar Wright marching most of the audience over to the Balboa Theater for a secret first screening. Both Dixon and I were there. What did we think of the film?
Other movies may have louder buzz out in the world outside of Comic Con, but here in the rarefied air of comic book geeks, dorks and other strange beasts, there's only one hero that gets their pulse racing. It's Scott Pilgrim. And he's here to kick some ex-boyfriend butt.
Join me NOW and I gain +5 experience points and liveblog Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
We're rounding the clubhouse turn here at Hall H at Comic Con with a huge shot of testosterone. It's a very, very large hall here, but I just don't know if it's equipped to handle this amount of sheer, masculine force.
