Who Should Be Cast In Gatsby 3-D?
Word is that Ben Affleck may be a shoe-in for the role of Tom Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's (possibly 3-D) remake of The Great Gatsby, which last saw the big screen in 2000, though the one you remember was probably the 1974 classic starring Robert Redford. Currently the IMDB page lists the following actors as being attached to the latest redux, though some are only rumored: Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, and Hayley Atwell as Jordan Baker.

Movie Studios Flog and Now Blog
The movie studios are adding blogging to their marketing repertoire: Fox Searchlight Pictures has started it's own blog, foxsearchlight.blogspot.com, to "join this online phenomena" plus innundate people with information about screenings, box office data, interviews, articles in which their releases are mentioned, etc., etc. Part of what's helpful in driving traffic to the blog is the fact that the releases Fox Searchlight has out there right now are actually good, like 28 Days Later and Bend It Like Beckham, and their upcoming films, frothy Merchant-Ivory Le Divorce, nihilistic teen girl movies Thirteen, and Jim Sheridan's long-awaited In America, are definitely intriguing. Also, worth checking out is Fox Searchlight's SearchLab which has Quicktime interviews with directors like Ridley Scott, Mark Romanek, Baz Luhrmann, and Kimberly Peirce. [Via Movie City News]
