Now here's some news you can use: Lionsgate is making a sequel to Crank. This one pins Jason Statham against "a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working." Um, awesome. But the same story drops still-more-intriguing news: Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under, Dexter) will star in a futuristic thriller called Game with 300's Gerard Butler. Michael C. Hall rules.
The latest movie in the Philip K. Dick adaptation wave, Radio Free Albemuth, stars. . . Alanis Morissette. I will not make jokes. I will just say that Alanis Morissette almost single-handedly ruined the mid-nineties, and I wish she had gone away forever. That is all.
Heath Ledger and Sean Penn will costar in Terrence Malick's next film, Tree of Life.
