Posted by Shawn Adler on April 3rd, 2008Matthew McConaughey Offered Magnum P.I. Movie Role
Posted by Mr. Shrek on April 3rd, 2008We’re trying not to get too excited about this yet, but Entertainment Weekly has learned that Matthew McConaughey has been offered the role of Thomas Magnum in Universal Pictures’ adaptation of Magnum P.I.
The movie, of course, would be based on the 1980s TV show that starred Tom Selleck. For those too young to remember, the character is a former Navy Seal turned reluctant detective. Certainly seems a perfect match for the laid-back actor.
McConaughey, reportedly, is reading the script from writer/director Rawson Thurber (Dodgeball) and will decide shortly.
Would you pay to see him in the role of Magnum P.I.?

Jodie Foster is on Nim’s Island
Posted by Mr. Shrek on April 3rd, 2008
Nim’s Island marks a different sort of role for Jodie Foster. The actress gets to show off her comedic and adventurous side on film for a change.
Below, she talks to ComingSoon.net about the movie…
ComingSoon.net: Can you talk about what drew you to this project?
Jodie Foster: I’ve been wanting to do a comedy for a long time actually. “Maverick” was such a great experience. I really, really enjoyed it. Lightness is a part of your life too. You’re not all just darkness. There’s lightness too. But then I couldn’t find anything that was good enough.
I read this script and kept banging down doors and lobbying for it and definitely the first studio they were at, they had a different arrangement with the studio at that time and they were not keen on me at all, understandably. They know me for my dark dramas.
CS: Did you feel silly at all while you were doing some of the stuff in this movie?
Foster: Yeah, but I think that silly is good. You’re looking for that. What’s interesting to me in this movie is that I find myself talking about things like fear and this sort of solitary world that she’s created, finding a hero in yourself. Those are all themes that I’ve played in dramas many, many times – very dark dramas.
Here I am doing a comedy about them, which is kind of like making fun of your most precious thing. You’re making fun of the parts of yourself that are the little fragile parts of you. You have to have an ability in order to be a comedy actor.

Exclusive First Five Minutes: ‘Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?’
Posted by Josh Horowitz on April 3rd, 2008He nearly super-sized himself after eating nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days a few years back, but now Morgan Spurlock’s got bigger fish to fry (that was not intended as a McDonald’s joke) with his very amusing new documentary, “Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?” (out in theaters April 18th.)
We got a chance to check this flick at Sundance and we’re very pleased now to show you the first nearly five minutes of the film here. Truth be told, they might be my favorite moments of the film. Check out Morgan taking on Osama in HD right here. Or, if you’re not a stickler for that sort of thing, just click below.

Brittany Snow Shares Prom Night Experiences
Posted by Mr. Shrek on April 3rd, 2008
We all hated the prom, right? Expectations simply can never be met on what is billed as the most important event of your young life.
In the new horror film Prom Night, though, this is especially true. Star Brittany Snow recently talked about the flick with MoviesOnline.ca…
MoviesOnline: You’ve transitioned from soap operas to movies and now a horror film, is there a genre of this medium you’d like to pursue or get more into?
Brittany Snow: Yeah. I think it really depends. I think it’s just about the project. I’m not partial to film or television, it’s more about the characters you play and who you work with. I look for a challenge and the opportunity to work with great directors or producers.
So if that is it in television then I would take that route. Right now I am pursuing film because the characters available in my age range have a lot more going for them. I would never say never to anything.
MoviesOnline: We noticed that three of your recent roles deal with racial issues. Do you think it’s important for you to take on those subversive roles? Are you saying something to the audience?
Brittany Snow: I think that people are smart enough to realize that when I’m playing a character it doesn’t reflect my personal beliefs. I play a Nazi on Nip/Tuck, and obviously I don’t believe in that. I look for roles that challenge me and make me explore the psychology of another person and what they believe. It’s up to people to decide what they believe in. I like playing different characters with different beliefs, and who have different ideals and understandings of things.
MoviesOnline: Are you a fan of horror? and why did you choose Prom Night?
Brittany Snow: I am a fan of horror films. It’s funny because I was very hesitant to do this as I wanted it to be a good choice for my career. I’m very picky about what I do. I was happy it wasn’t a remake, because there’s a lot of that lately. I also loved the director Nelson McCormick.
This was also the first project where I had a big part of creating the movie overall, I got to help create the script and got to share my ideas on clothes and music, and that was a really cool thing to be a part of. The script turned out to be something good for my age range. And it’s not a gory movie; it’s more about the psychological side of horror.
