Universal Nabs All Bourne Rights

20 November 2008 11:25 PM, PST | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

Universal has made a deal with the estate of the late Robert Ludlum, creator of Jason Bourne, to secure all film rights to the Bourne character and novels and bags first dibs on other Ludlum characters. So what, we hear you cry. Well, this leaves the way open for a continuing franchise, in the style of James Bond, with new stories being created around the character as the films go on. A fourth instalment in the franchise is already underway, with director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon already returning, and George Nolfi currently working on the script for a 2010 release. The deal also opens the way for many more adaptations of Ludlum's work, since the estate - which has approval on screenplays and even actors and directors, since Ludlum was disappointed by several 1980s adaptations of his work - will be working on the studio lot. In the meantime,

Kate and Leo in new 'Revolutinary Road' clips

19 November 2008 3:19 PM, PST | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

Considering we usually have to wait about three years for a new Sam Mendes flick, the upcoming release of "Revoutionary Road" will be quite an event for his fans. Not only is the film described as a hot awards contender, but it obviously also reunites Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on the big screen.

Based on the novel by Richard Yates, the film follows the marriage of Frank and April Wheeler, who are struggling not to succumb to the ordinary lifestyle of all the people around them.

Three new clips from the movie recently popped up on the Web, and I suggest you check them out after the jump. One of them features part of Thomas Newman's scorce, which immediately reminded me of his brilliant work on "Road to Perdition." Good to hear he's back as well. "Revolutionary Road" opens Dec. 26, 2008.

Men of the Year Party With the Women Who Are Obsessions

19 November 2008 6:00 AM, PST | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news

Two out of GQ's four cover boy Men of the Year came out to celebrate at the Chateau Marmont in La last night. Jon Hamm and Leonardo DiCaprio both lived up to their steamy covers while Michael Phelps and Barack Obama (surprise) couldn't make it to the red carpet. Obsession of the year Megan Fox looked hot in pink and kept her boyfriend Brian Austin Green close for photos. Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel still don't want to define their relationship, but things seem very on again for this duo. January Jones looked glamorous as ever posing without her on-screen Mad Men husband Don Draper, but if the second season of the show taught us anything it's that Betty is just fine by herself. The party may have been about the men of the year, but the women held their own before heading in for a night of fun. To

Eden Riegel on Bianca and Reese, Prop. 8, and "Imaginary Bitches"

18 November 2008 8:14 PM, PST | From AfterEllen.com/ | See recent After Ellen news

Eden Riegel recently returned to ABC's All My Children to reprise her role as Pine Valley's beloved lesbian sweetheart Bianca, whom she first played in 2000, when Bianca was a teenager coming to terms with her sexuality. Eight years later, Riegel's character is now a mother of two and newly engaged to Reese (Tamara Braun), an architect she met in France.

During her time away from the daytime drama, Riegel and her husband Andrew Miller launched a web series called Imaginary Bitches, in which Riegel plays a single (straight) woman with high-maintenance imaginary friends (tagline: "Life's a bitch. Then you invent one").

Immediately after the election results on Nov. 4, Riegel created and starred in an anti-Prop. 8 PSA (with her Imaginary Bitches co-stars), and donated a portion of her DVD sales to fight for gay marriage.

We chatted with Eden via email this week about improvements in lesbian visibility on daytime TV,

Oscar season is heating up, and with two hotly-anticipated and much buzzed-about flicks currently screening for critics, early word on both Australia and Revolutionary Road is beginning to leak out. First up, Australia's Herald Son has published one of the first reviews of Baz Lurhman's Australia -- starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman -- saying it "features some of the most beautiful photography ever seen in an Australian film, from the Bungle Bungles in the Kimberley to the Northern Territory in the midst of the wet season," and that the film "has international blockbuster written all over it." Over at the Times Online UK, they've given the flick four out of five stars, and claim "Baz Luhrmann's long-awaited, and over-budget epic Australia manages, against the odds, to avoid turning into one big sunburnt stereotype about Godzone country.
