These people just landed a part in a movie and you didn't:
Sorry boys, but Jessica Alba has officially become a math nerd. Oh yes, Variety tells us the actress has signed on to star in An Invisible Sign of My Own, based on the book by Aimee Bender. Marilyn Agrelo (Mad Hot Ballroom) will direct the flick, which follows a woman who becomes obsessed with numbers and math ... and then lands a gig as a second-grade math teacher. Hot, steamy gratuitous love-making scene not included.
Val Kilmer has decided he needs more action in his life, as the dude has hopped onboard the crime thriller Fake Identity for Nu Image/Millennium Films. The film, to be directed by Dennis Dimster-Denk (or Triple D, as I like to call him), tells of a doctor (Kilmer) who, while working in Chechnya, helps a woman escape from her would-be assailant and then »

At some point last week, when everyone was discussing just why Nicolas Cage had taken another role in a completely disposable action movie, someone mentioned that Cage is taking roles that Val Kilmer used to do, and is better at. Now Kilmer might have a chance to prove that person right, since he's taking a role in Fake Identity, a thriller that sounds exactly like the kind of thing Cage might jump on board as well. Variety writes that Kilmer will play an American doctor working in Chechnya, until he helps a woman escape an assailant and his life is turned upside-down. Dennis Dimster-Denk, which sounds like a name out of a Shel Silverstein poem, will direct. Dimster-Denk has previous directed episodes of a TV show I've never heard of, Wicked Wicked Games, which has the tagline "Revenge is a dish best served crazy!" Sounds promising and loony, and maybe »

Inside Man 2 Begins Script Stage: A sequel to Spike Lee's Inside Man is moving forward at Universal, with Terry George in negotiations to write the screenplay and Lee coming back to direct. The film will pick up on the characters and dynamic but not the storyline of the original. The first Inside Man, which was penned by Russell Gewirtz, centered on a standoff between a bank robber (Clive Owens) and a hostage negotiator (Denzel Washington) at a New York bank. Lee says he foresees that the new film will continue the relationship between the two main characters but in a new high-tension situation. "I want the script to be even better than Russell's, and Russell wrote a really good script," he said. Denzel Washington and Clive Owen are interested in re-teaming for the project, Lee said.
