Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster - Mmm, Nice Beaver.

Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster are getting back together 15 years after Maverick for the $18 million comedy The Beaver reports Variety.

Gibson will play a depressed man who finds solace in wearing a beaver hand-puppet. Kind of like Lars and the Real Girl. Steve Carell and Jim Carrey had both been interested in the role.

Foster will both direct the film and play the role of the man's wife. The actress brought the project to Gibson herself.

Kyle Killen penned the script which made last year's coveted Blacklist. Steve Golin and Keith Redmon will produce.

Shooting begins this September in New York City.

Gibson's going back to acting after directing, drinking and saying dodgy things. Foster is going back to directing after a bit of acting and sauciness in A Very Long Engagement.

Should be quite interesting to see how Gibson is received after his divorce and poor choice of words.

How about Tom Cruise as the Third Stooge?

With the recent news that Sean Penn was taking a year off from acting this means there is a place within the the Farrelly Brothers Three Stooges film. Penn was playing Larry opposite Jim Carrey as Curly (he is apparantly going to pile on the pounds for the role) and Benicio Del Toro as Moe.

Who could join Carrey and Del Toro? Names such as Paul Giamatti, Zach Galifianakis, Matt Damon, Larry David, Ben Stiller, Jack Nicholson and Simon Pegg have been mentioned.

However, another name put forward is Tom Cruise and out of all of them I think I like that idea the most - although the whole idea of the Three Stooges film leaves me feeling a little cold. He was great in Tropic Thunder when he played quite a slapstick character so he has the skills.

How do you feel about the Stooges film? Who would be the best person to fill Sean Penn's shoes?

Cliffhanger - A reboot? What? Seriously?

StudioCanal has announced that it will be teaming with Neal Moritz's L.A.-based Original Films to reboot Cliffhanger say Variety.

The makeover of Renny Harlin's 1993 pic will center on a group of young climbers.

"Just as they rebooted 'Star Trek,' we're going to do the same with 'Cliffhanger,' " said Moritz, who will produce. Unlike the original, where Italy stood in for the Colorado Rockies, the new redo looks set to feature multiple cliff-face locations.

Let us look at that statement a little closer. Star Trek was a series in the 60's that ran for a few years. It had a big fan base and years later spawned a number of other series, books, comics, merchandise and 11 motion pictures. Star Trek is huge and the new reboot is understandable.

Cliffhanger was a film in 1993 starring Sylvester Stallone. It was okay but did not spawn any sequels or anything else.

I put it to you, looking at the above, how on earth can they compare the two and why does Cliffhanger need to be rebooted?

Sounds like a load of kids up a mountain. Chuck in a few terrorists or criminals, hot girls stripping down to their underwear to share body heat, young heroes saying things like "I will come back for you", or "Cliffhangar This!" and a comedy sidekick character and bob is your uncle.

I hear another Vertical Limit on the way. Go watch North Face instead.

The Three Stooges could almost be Penn, Carrey and del Toro

MGM and the Farrelly brothers are closing in on their cast for "The Three Stooges."

Studio has set Sean Penn to play Larry, and negotiations are underway with Jim Carrey to play Curly, with the actor already making plans to gain 40 pounds to approximate the physical dimensions of Jerome "Curly" Howard.

The studio is zeroing in on Benicio Del Toro to play Moe.

The film is not a biopic, but rather a comedy built around the antics of the three characters that Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Howard played in the Columbia Pictures shorts.

The quest by the Peter and Bobby Farrelly to harness the project spans more than a decade and three studios. They first tried at Columbia, again at Warner Bros., and finally at MGM, where Worldwide Motion Picture Group chairman Mary Parent championed the cause and bought the WB-owned scripts and made a deal with Stooges rights holders C3.

Production will begin in early fall for a release sometime in 2010. The Farrellys, who wrote the script, are producing with their Conundrum partner Bradley Thomas, and Charlie Wessler.

The project will get underway after Penn completes the Asger Leth-directed Universal/Imagine Entertainment drama "Cartel." He hasn't done a comedy since the 1989 laffer "We're No Angels."

The Farrellys have long had their eyes on Del Toro to play Moe. Del Toro, who's coming off "Che," showed comic chops in the Guy Ritchie-directed "Snatch."

The surprise is the emergence of Carrey to play Curly. Howard established the character as a seminal physical comedian, from the first time he appeared in the first Stooges short in 1934 until he suffered a stroke on the set in 1946.

Are you excited about this project? Do you think the three actors are the best choice for the Stooges?

Who could play Gay Prison Lovers? Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor of course - I Love You Philip Morris

I can honestly say I had heard nothing about this movie until reading about it over on Filmstalker. I can also honestly say that I never in a million years would have put Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey together in that kind of true life story. Live and learn I guess.

The film is based on a novel by Steve McVicker - Here is Filmstalker's synopsis:
Jim Carrey is a father, husband and all round good guy, except he's a conman, and after a bad fall he's also gay. Then, to compound the matter, he gets caught for fraud and put in prison where he meets an awfully nice man Ewan McGregor whom he falls in love with.

After he gets transferred his lover gets released and so Morris decides to escape and head after him, something he managed four times in all using some amazing ruses. He faked suffering from AIDS for one, and in two other attempts broke out of prison and walked right into CEO roles earning huge salaries.

I Love You Phillip Morris is being directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.

Here is the trailer.

How do you like them apples? What are your thoughts on this?

Yes Man - Jim Carrey's Latest

Here is the poster for Jim Carrey's newest movie. Due out in December. He plays a bloke who signs up to a self-help program whose main lesson is to say yes to everything and anything. Think it's based on a book where a guy actually did that in real life...Dave Gorman's mate...I forget his name (Rich, you'll know. Who is it?)....got it...Danny Wallace. Sounds like one of Carrey's concept movies like Liar Liar and The Number 23. It could suck. Directed by Peyton Reed who did The Break Up, Bring it On and Down with Love.
