BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Chris Hemsworth Cast as Receptionist in New Ghostbusters

Thor to put the hammer down and pick up the phone.

By Brandon Wolfe

Paul Feig crossed the streams on Twitter this afternoon with the revelation that none other than Chris Hemsworth will portray the receptionist for the female cast of the new Ghostbusters. Hemsworth will be the counterpart to the role memorably played by Annie Potts in the original film. However, given Hemsworth’s “Sexiest Man Alive” exterior, it’s safe to say that his receptionist won’t merely be a male version of Janine, and will presumably be the centerpiece of a gender-flipped “hired for his looks” comedic scenario, the guy version of the “hot secretary” cliché.

Hemsworth has been making a concerted effort lately to expand his repertoire into more comedic directions, between this and his role in that other dusting-off of an ‘80s classic, Vacation. He will be taking messages for Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon when the new Ghostbusters opens next July.

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

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...
