BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Margot Robbie To Star In The Taliban Shuffle

After a succession of dramatic roles, Margot Robbie is taking a step toward some comedy.

The Wolf of Wall Street breakout is in negotiations to join Tina Fey in The Taliban Shuffle, Paramount’s adaptation of journalist Kim Barker’s wartime memoir.

The move will reteam her with Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who directed her opposite Will Smith in the 2015 thriller Focus. Fey is producing the political black comedy with her former Saturday Night Live boss and 30 Rock cohort Lorne Michaels.

The book recounts Barker’s arrival as a fish out of water in Kabul, filing stories about militants, being a woman in wartime Iraq and Pakistan and dealing with boredom interspersed with dashes of violence and the promiscuous war-correspondent culture.

Robbie will play a blond, gorgeous and hard-core on-air news anchor who befriends Baker (Fey) in Afghanistan. The character has been described as very competitive and willing to do anything, including put herself and others in danger, to get a story to launch her reporting career.

Dealmaking is a little bit tricky on this one as Robbie is also in talks to star in The Suicide Squad, Warners’ DC-based movie being directed by David Ayer. Ayer is currently writing the script, although that movie wouldn't shoot until spring of 2015. But Robbie does need to make room to promote Focus, which opens Feb. 27.

Robbie, who is no longer attached to star in Fox’s love drama The Mountain Between Us, recently wrapped playing Jane in Warners’ Tarzan movie.

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
