Love them or loathe them, the Transformers movies show no sign of stopping. To be honest, I’m that jazzed about the next instalment of the franchise but after hearing that Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick ‘McDreamy’ Dempsey has joined the cast list, our interest in the project has been renewed.

I know it’s wrong to want to see a movie because it has a hot actor in it but somehow I just don’t care. Despite Michael Bay saying that there will be fewer explosions in the third movie, well, I just don’t believe him. I’m pretty sure he’s got some impressive pyrotechnics up his sleeve but by casting Dempsey he’ll be drawing female viewers to the franchise. Happy accident or clever casting?

Dempsey revealed to Brazilian reporters that he’ll be playing a ‘darker character’ and Paramount have confirmed that he’ll be playing Megan Fox’s boss. Fox and Dempsey on-screen together!

Is there such a thing as too sexy?

It also looks like fans can expect more varied locations as the movie will begin shooting later this month in Moscow, China, Africa and the U.S. but we’ll have to wait another year to get to see any of it as it’s slated for a 2011 release.

The other night just so happened to be teen comedy DVD night in the Breadline broom cupboard. So I snuggled up under my blankets, braided my barbie’s hair and got out the Ferrero Rocher to watch Mean Girls.

Me and barbie couldn’t believe how young, sweet and innocent Lindsay Lohan looked in that movie compared to the train wreck she is these days. She may have fallen on hard times…and crack…but it looks like la Lohan’s fortunes could be on the up as she’s just been cast in a new movie.

A biopic of porn legend Linda Lovelace is in the works and MTV is reporting that Lohan is ‘confirmed’ for the lead role. The project will be called Inferno and has Matthew Wilder sitting in the director’s chair.

Lovelace became famous after she appeared in the porn classic Deep Throat but later became an anti-porn protester, claiming that she was forced at gunpoint to perform in the film. The film was wildly controversial and it’s likely that the PC bridgade will also be out to boycott Inferno as well if it gets a bit too saucy.

Despite proving herself unreliable in recent years, Robert Rodriguez took a chance on her and cast her in the upcoming Machete. We’re waiting to see if her scenes are still in the final cut though. But hopefully these are signs that Hollywood is willing to welcome her back into the fold.

One of Hollywood’s best kept secrets in recent years has been the plot of Christopher Nolan’s new thriller Inception, but now I can reveal what it’s all about.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page, Inception has been described by writer/director Nolan as ‘taking place within the architecture of the mind’ and for a long time that’s all we knew.

Now, courtesy of Playstation Nation, I have a copy of the movie’s synopsis. If you’d rather just be surprised when you go to see the movie THEN DON’T READ ON as we’re about to spill the beans.
Do It!

We all know by now that the Clash of The Titans was not the cinematic joy that it should have been but it made a heck of a lot money so, of course, the sequel is already being planned.

Deadline Hollywood are reporting that pretty much every character who survived at the end of the movie should be returning for the project including captain stoic, Sam Worthington.

But guess who’s not coming back – the director. Though we’re assured that the decision to not have Louis Letterier return is an amicable one, we’re pretty sure a big ‘Ha ha, in your face’ type of celebration could be heard around Hollywood when the news broke.

Unfortunately, we’re not fully rid of Letterier as he’s staying on as an executive producer. I’m kind of hoping his responsibilities will be limited to sitting in a corner shoving playdough up his nose.

If Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures want to keep this project moving forward then they’re going to have to get their act together quickly before Worthington has to jet off back to Pandora for Avatar 2.

It seems that any film that’s even marginally successful is bound to get a sequel so that studios can milk it for all it’s worth. I was, however, surprised that DreamWorks took so long to decide to announce a sequel to the wildly successful How To Train Your Dragon.

ComingSoon.net are reporting that after looking at the numbers, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, Jeffery Katzenberg said,

“2010 is off to a strong start, thanks in large part to the performance of ‘How to Train Your Dragon,’ which – having grossed nearly $375 million to date in worldwide box office – has become DreamWorks Animation’s next franchise. We plan to release the sequel theatrically in 2013.”

“3D continues to have a tremendous impact on the industry at large and we are now looking forward with great anticipation to bringing ‘Shrek Forever After,’ the final chapter in our beloved ‘Shrek’ series and the first in 3D, to audiences across the globe next month.”

Shocked and surprised? No, neither was I and though there’s plenty of source material to continue to Dragon series, when will studios learn to quit while they’re ahead?
