Justin Timberlake Has The Last Drop

By
"Trouble With the Curve" star Justin Timberlake is having no trouble lining up his next job, as he's in talks to topline Good Universe's romantic dramedy "The Last Drop," sources familiar with the project tell Variety.

Peter Sollett, who previously worked with the Good Universe team on "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," is attached to direct from a script by Brandon and Phil Murphy that appeared on the 2011 Black List.

Should a deal make, Timberlake would play a charming alcoholic who works as a restaurant critic for New York Magazine. When he falls for a young woman, he realizes he must overcome his self-destructive addiction in order to have a real chance with her.

Greg Shapiro ("The Hurt Locker") will produce via his Kingsgate Films banner, while Good Universe toppers Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake will exec produce.

Timberlake continues to eschew blockbuster fare in favor of challenging dramatic material, having previously earned strong reviews for his perfs in Nick Cassavetes' "Alpha Dog" and David Fincher's "The Social Network." He next stars alongside Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan in the Coen brothers' folk music pic "Inside Llewyn Davis," and just wrapped the online gaming drama "Runner, Runner" with Ben Affleck and Anthony Mackie. Timberlake can currently be seen opposite Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams in WB's baseball dramedy "Trouble With the Curve."

Sollett directed the acclaimed 2002 indie "Raising Victor Vargas" before going on to helm "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist." He recently became attached to direct the equal rights drama "Freeheld," written by Ron Nyswaner ("Philadelphia").

The Murphys recently wrote a drama for Richard Branson's Virgin Produced about the relationship between Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as the band recorded its classic "Exile on Main Street" album. They're also developing a Steve McQueen biopic for Sony and producer Jerry Weintraub.

Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne alongside her cousin Elizabeth I ( Margot Robbie ), who rules as England’s Queen. Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
