Eminem sees rather a lot of Bruno at the MTV Movie Awards

This year’s MTV Movie Awards had a memorable moment involving Sacha Baron Cohen in character as Bruno dressed as an angel flying above the crowd.

The wires got tangled, Bruno fell down into the crowd and Eminem got rather a close look at Bruno's nether regions.

Eminem then left the building.

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 rumours - What's true and what's not

Terry Rossio, co-screenwriter for all three Pirates of the Caribbean films thus far, and is working on the fourth, has made an announcement and denied the circulating rumors about Pirates of the Caribbean 4. The rumors have alleged that Johnny Depp is making a whopping $56 million for the fourth film to Sacha Baron Cohen and Russell Brand co-starring to Tim Burton directing. Rossio clears things up:

For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for Depp.

Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing.

The only thing that has been officially announced so far is that Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow in the fourth film.No production date has been set.

Captain Jack could be getting told what to do by Tim "It's all in the reflexes" Burton*

Cinema Blend have news of a rumour stirring in the briny ocean. Aye, Jim lad it be just a rumour. Oo Ahh, a bottle of rum and all that malarkey.

I mentioned a while ago that Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is going to happen and Johnny Depp is happy to return as Captain Jack Sparrow.

Todays rumour deals with the nebulous possibility that Tim Burton could possible maybe supposedly be directing the fourth installment. This could be pretty cool and the fact Depp is still involved may bring his mate Burton on board. The rumour also mentions a few other things:

1. The film could deal with Jack's search for the Fountain of Youth.

2. Captain Jack's brother could be part of the story and the names Sacha Baron Cohen or Russell Brand are being bandied about. I think it would be wrong of them to go with a copy of Captain Jack which is what Russell Brand would possibly do.

3. Geoffrey Rush and Gore Verbinski (director of the first 3) are also said to return but if the Burton rumour is true then I can't see what Gore would do.

What do you think of the rumour? Would you like to see a Tim Burton Pirate's movie? What would you like to see in the next one?

*Yes I know it was Jack Burton who said "It's all in the reflexes" I just wanted to get the quote in somewhere. I was trying the Capt Jack, (tim) Burton thing but it just wasn't working.

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes to be start of a Franchise.

This was pretty much a given but now Warner Bros. have mentioned to Reuters that they hope Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie will become a lucrative new franchise.

Robert Downey Jr said one reason he was chosen for the role may have been his involvement in action movie "Iron Man," which earned over $570 million in global ticket sales this year, and he promised his Holmes would be the best screen portrayal ever.

"In case you aren't aware I had a hell of a summer, and it's made me much more viable to play a lead role than I might have (been) in the past," Downey Jr. told reporters in London, where shooting on "Sherlock Holmes" is about to begin.

When asked what he could bring to a character portrayed countless times on film and television, he joked: "Clearly I'm going to do it better than it's ever been done.

"The more I read about it the more overwhelmed I was by the weight of it and the amount of people who will be watching to see if it's gotten right."

Director Guy Ritchie said "Sherlock Holmes" was his biggest movie "by a long shot" in terms of budget.

Producer Joel Silver would not name the figure, but he called the budget "healthy" and said plans had not been affected by recent turmoil on the financial markets.

"What we've done is hopefully launched a franchise of Sherlock Holmes stories," he said.

Warner Bros. may be hoping the series can replace Harry Potter, which has three films left to go and could end in 2011. The franchise based on J.K. Rowling's boy wizard tales has grossed $4.5 billion at worldwide box offices so far.

The new Sherlock Holmes film is based on an original story by Lionel Wigram inspired by the Arthur Conan Doyle books.

"I really knew Sherlock Holmes from tapes -- I wasn't a very good reader," said Ritchie. "What I had imagined in my mind was not exactly what I'd seen previously manifested on film.

"I am a fan of many of the previous productions of Sherlock Holmes. I just think we can have a different take and I'd like to think a better take."

He added: "We're trying to be as authentic as we can to what we see as the original Sherlock Holmes. We are also specifically keen on keeping it authentic to Conan Doyle."

The director said he had never considered involving his wife Madonna in the new movie, and originally thought Downey Jr. may be too old for Holmes.

As well as bringing more action sequences to the story, the dynamic between Holmes and loyal assistant Dr. Watson looks set to differ from what audiences are used to with the casting of heartthrob Jude Law in the part.

Silver was aware that the announcement of Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes project came soon after another film based on the 19th century detective was unveiled starring Sacha Baron Cohen in the lead and Will Ferrell as Watson.

He said the movies would be released at different times -- Sherlock Holmes has a tentative release date of 2010 -- and Ritchie joked: "We've done as much as we can to sabotage Sacha Baron Cohen."

What do you think to all this. The fact Ritchie says he isn't one to read is a bit worrying when doing such a literary classic.

Sherlock Holmes is Borat?

A while ago there was talk of reintroducing Sherlock Holmes to the cinema going public in an action packed pulp stylee franchise. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, among others, were mentioned to play the great detective. This is not about that movie. That movie is from Warner Bros and Guy Ritchie is down to direct that.

Instead this is about a Sherlock Holmes movie from Columbia Pictures, produced by Judd Apatow and starring Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Ali G) as Sherlock Holmes and Will Ferrell as Watson. Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder) is writing the script. There's more on the story in Variety.

I'm not too sure about this to be honest. I'm a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories, I love the old Basil Rathbone movies and I like all the people involved in this new project, but it just makes me go meh! We shall have to wait and see what develops.
