Oz the Great & Powerful Teaser Trailer
Upcoming Projects Update
The Salt 2 page on IMDb has been cleaned up and the names of Daniel Pearce and Joseph Olibrice have been removed. I suspect they were just placed there by the actors or their representatives with the hope that it would help them get film assignments. The release dates for Salt 2, Cleopatra and Scarpetta have also been changed and are now all open.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to Enjoy Summer Vacation in Pylos?
Greek media are reporting that famous Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have chosen Greece to spend their summer vacation. The couple has visited Greece many times in the past decade.According to star.gr, Brangelina will visit, along with their six children, southern Pylos this summer. Pylos is not your standard tourist destination but the last years more and more stars seem to visit the area.
Their manager appears to have already contacted several professionals of the greater area to book accommodations and traditional taverns while residents of Pylos anticipate meeting the two superstars!
According to the same source, their manager did not just arrange everything concerning their accommodation but also asked that Angelina have many fruits as well as bamboo in her room.
For the time being, no one is aware of when exactly the couple will arrive in Pylos. As is typical for Hollywood stars, they do not announce their trips mostly for security reasons.
See how Brad and Angelina described to us their previous visits to Greece :
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Mini Me’s
Happy Birthday, Knox and Vivienne! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Twins Turn 4
It's hard to believe, but today Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt turn 4 years old!
We love seeing the littlest members of Brangelina's brood traveling around the world. Last year, Angelina Jolie told Marie Claire that Vivienne is a "girlie girl" who "likes to get her nails done and [collect] stuffed animals."
Knox, on the other hand, "is very much a dude," Mama Jolie says. "He loves dinosaurs and swords."
In honor of these two cuties on their birthday, take a look back at their adventures with Angie, Brad Pitt and big sibs Shiloh, Pax, Zahara and Maddox!

Comic-Con: Drew Goddard Scripts New Ending To Brad Pitt’s ‘World War Z’
EXCLUSIVE: While reports had Damon Lindelof coming in to write a new ending to the Marc Forster-directed Brad Pitt-starrer World War Z, it actually was his Lost compadre Drew Goddard who did the bulk of the writing of the finale. Lindelof, who reworked Prometheus and co-wrote the Star Trek
sequel, cracked a potential new ending of the film, but Lindelof didn’t
have time to do the scripting so that task fell to Goddard, who most
recently adapted Robopocalypse, which is Steven Spielberg’s next film at DreamWorks.Related:‘World War Z’ Author, Movie Poster Maestro Drew Struzan Highlight Sunday Comic-Con
Both of those guys are off to other projects, so it’s quite possible that Paramount will tap another writer to punch up this ending — if the studio decides to use it. I’m hearing Christopher McQuarrie, whom the studio is high on after he adapted and directed Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher, based on the Lee Child novels. That isn’t set in stone because McQuarrie is Cruise’s go-to guy and he will be doing some script work on All You Need Is Kill, the Doug Liman-directed action film that Cruise will next star in after he completes Oblivion. So it is questionable whether he will be available or whether Paramount will need him. No date has been set for the reshoots that will be needed to implement the new ending, but insiders say Forster will be shooting those scenes.
Much has been written about the problems on WWZ, and while those problems are legitimate ones, that doesn’t mean this movie is going to be a train wreck. It’s based on a superb Max Brooks novel, and the angle — looking back on the thwarting of a zombie apocalypse — is an original one. There is still a lot to be excited about here.
Drew Goddard Now On World War Z
Writing a new third act
Given
everything that has happened to it so far, including multiple script
drafts in development, problems on set and now reports of big reshoots
to work out story issues, you might think that World War Z had become a literal zombie itself, stumbling around without much focus. Just last month, word broke that Lost / Prometheus scribe Damon Lindelof had been hired to do some hefty re-writing on the script, but now it turns out that Cabin In The Woods co-writer / director Drew Goddard will be the man carrying out the actual work.Why is this happening? According to Deadline, Lindelof is such a busy guy (he has just committed to develop novel adaptation The Leftovers for HBO, and script pitch 1952 for Disney among other, unannounced projects) that, while he came up with a possible solution to the thorny third act of WWZ, it’s his former Lost colleague Goddard who will be implementing it, as well as any ideas of his own.
Goddard himself has a little bit of experience with big movies, having written Cloverfield, Cabin In The Woods and man-vs-machine tale Robopocalypse, which Steven Spielberg intends to make as his next film.
World War Z producers Paramount, meanwhile, plan to regroup director Marc Foster, his cast – including Brad Pitt – and crew to tackle the re-shoots when the new script material is finished and schedules allow. We’re still hoping it all turns out well, particularly given how good the basic idea and source novel is…
Angelina Jolie invites Camden Town musician to work on Blood & Honey

Perhaps it is his ear for a good sound that led him to produce music for Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut In The Land Of Blood And Honey, set during the Bosnian war.
The musician got involved after being invited to audition for a small part. “It was an anonymous director, based in LA, I didn’t know who. I knew it was a war film, set in Bosnia. I thought maybe it was Spielberg or Clint Eastwood. The interview was kind of informal and you were just chatting to the camera. I was talking about my history and my music and I turned to face the camera and said, ‘And I could do music for your film.’ I knew the video would go to the director, who would see it.”
Jolie contacted him and asked him to write some music for the film. He composed three pieces that have undertones of Balkan folk music but also combine blues, classical, rock and world music styles. “It was a smooth process. It was done in three days. I worked backwards, I began with the end. Angelina loved it. They were dancing and jumping in the cutting room. Maybe we will do more.”
The Camden Town-basedmusician formed a friendship with the actress, and partner Brad Pitt. “She’s a really extraordinary person. We made true friends, they are lovely people. I feel like I can talk to them.
“For example, my son was doing a showcase in Shoreditch Church. He realised he needed to set up a concert with very little support. He wrote an email to Angelina to ask if she would be interested in supporting them to help to produce the show and sent links to his work.
“Two days later, an email came back saying, ‘It is my pleasure to support you and an envelope is waiting in the Dorchester Hotel.’ It was a blessing and she was wishing him well.”
Dzihan, 46, is no stranger to the world of film and music, having also written traditional Bosnian folk songs for and played a small part in Anthony Minghella’s 2006 film Breaking And Entering.
The musician, classically trained in his home city of Sarajevo, used to play with a rock band and was a member of New Primitivism, an art movement in early 80s Sarajevo which led to a controversial satirical TV show. He had to leave just before the war in 1991. “We left a year before the war started. I was playing in my band and it got to a point where we couldn’t move around the country because of the tensions and things happening. My wife said she had a friend in London and I said, ‘OK, let’s go there! They have a good music scene too.’
“When I arrived here, all my credits were worth nothing. I couldn’t transfer my success here. I had to start from scratch. Also, all the material things are gone, lost. Your family is destroyed – there is not a single family without a casualty.”
With the trouble in the Balkan region being the topic of so many dramas in the UK and America, Dzihan managed to get his break into the industry over here because his face fitted the part. “I was a dodgy Russian lorry driver, Bosnian gangster, Serb. All the usual stereotypes. It is quite annoying because the way it is portrayed is not true. I appreciate the opportunities I have because I feel we need to work on our image. It’s not all women screaming, crying and savages. The beauty of the area and the art is completely missed.”
Dzihan is set to perform at the Hampstead Summer Community Festival with his 11-year-old daughter Zada. All the family, including his wife, Neska, play music and they often perform together. He is hoping to compose for more films in the future. “I’m up for experiments. I’m classically trained but I would rather go the left-field way and do something completely different.”
The NOLA wedding report (below) mentions that a florist and caterers have been chosen, but no florists or caterers were named or interviewed for the article. Instead a random tourist who happened to pass by their house and a tour operator hopeful for a windfall were quoted extensively.
Other iterations of the story argue that their house in NOLA has more space than their place in L.A.: “They don’t have a huge place in LA at the moment, but they have one in New Orleans. Also they know how much money will be injected into the city if they marry there.”
But in fact, they have a large compound in L.A. consisting of several contiguous lots that affords them both space and privacy -- something their relatively tight NOLA quarters can't provide. So the "insider" or the tabloid writer masquerading as one didn't even bother to conduct cursory research. Even the amount of money that will flow to the city is debatable as it will hardly be a public affair.
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Reportedly Settle On New Orleans Wedding
NEW ORLEANS—
Tourism experts say it's a ceremony that will again put the city on the global stage.
It's one of the most anticipated unions of the decade.
Now according to online reports, actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting ready to tie the knot in New Orleans.
"I think that's an excellent location and they picked a good place," said tourist Sherry Kuykendall.
Word is already spreading in town at the couple's favorite deli.
"What better place to have it," said Verti Marte employee Rickie Hill. "New Orleans is great. They obviously love it here and we love them so I could not think of a better place."
When buzz about a summer wedding first surfaced, many thought the couple might choose their home in France, a place in Hawaii, or their home in England.
Instead, unnamed sources say plans are underway for a private ceremony in the courtyard of their French Quarter home.
"I saw their home today on a tour, Kuykendall said."
"I think it's advertising that we could never afford," tourism leader Mark Romig said.
Tourism big wig mark Romig says not only will the wedding be good for new Orleans; he says the entire production will likely have local, national and International appeal.
"Because it not only will be the day of the wedding, but all the events leading up to it, and then you have all the celebrities coming into town," Romig said.
The nuptial will be exclusive to close family members and friends; including Hollywood a-listers like George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino.
The French Quarter home is in close proximity to plenty of star-worthy hotels.
The wedding is expected to boost to the local economy and the city's ego.
"I think it's a point of pride for the people of New Orleans to see, "you know what, they chose to have their wedding in our city," Romig said.
The couple confirmed their engagement back in April.
So far, no exact wedding date has been announced.
Online reports only say sometime in August.
