New Casting, Plot Details for Wes Anderson's Upcoming Film, "Moonrise Kingdom"

Wes Anderson, "Moonrise Kingdom"

Wes Anderson, the mastermind behind The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, The Life Aquatic, and a handful of other films, is getting down to business on his next film – Moonrise Kingdom.

Moonrise Kingdom will star Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and Bill Murray, along with other Wes Anderson regulars like Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson.

Set on an island close to New England at sometime in the 1960s, the film tells the tale of two very young lovers (12 years old) who, feeling oppressed by their parents, decide to elope – but when news of their disappearance breaks, the whole town comes together to find them.

Bruce Willis will play the town sherriff, Edward Norton will play the couple’s camp leader, and Bill Murray and Frances McDormand will play the girl’s parents. Tilda Swinton has also signed on for the film.

The script was co-written by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola, who helped Anderson write 2007’s The Darjeeling Limited, which won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.

Moonrise Kingdom is due out next year. Anderson’s most recent film was the animated venture, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which starred Schwartzman, Wilson, and Murray, along with George Clooney and Meryl Streep.

Will Ferrell Shaves Conan O'Brien's Beard

In a well-planned stunt leading up to Will Ferrell’s guest appearance on Conan O’Brien, the actor released a series of video messages threatening to shave Conan O’Brien’s beard.  He made good on those threats and shaved off O’Brien’s beard.

Ironically, Ferrell’s appearance was one day after the death of the FBI’s most wanted terrorist.  Both O’Brien and Ferrell seized on the headlines.

“Yesterday, we took care of one maniac with a beard. Today, Will Ferrell will take care of another,” tweeted O’Brien.

As Ferrell sat there chatting with O’Brien he said, “There is nothing else going on in this country other than the fervor to shave that beard. I turned on the television last night to see if people were talking about it. There were people celebrating in front of the White House. There were people celebrating in Times Square chanting U.S.A! Shave the beard!”

O’Brien responded, “I’m not sure your heard them correctly.”

Even still, Ferrell was armed with a straight razor and just wanted at the beard. Luckily, for O’Brien, Ferrell had clippers with him.  Without a lot of finesse Ferrell proceeded to remove the scraggly beard.

“Do you have any expertise in this?” asked O’Brien? 

To which Ferrell responded, “I’ve only shaved dogs before.” 

Thankfully there was an experienced barber on hand to fix the carnage left by Ferrell’s comic attempt.

As Ferrell stepped back to assess his handiwork, he said, “I made a terrible mistake.”

The movie Gotti: Three Generations has indeed turned into a family affair.  John Travolta will be playing John Gotti Sr and his real life wife, Kelly Preston will play his on screen wife Victoria Gotti.

“She’s a terrific actress, and she can really do the role justice,” said Steve Honig, spokesperson for the production company.

Their 11 year old daughter Ella Bleu will also join the cast as their on screen daughter, Angel Gotti.

Marc Fiore, producer for the film says “The love and passion between John and Kelly will bring a huge benefit to John Sr and his wife, and to tell you the truth they have a lot in common. They both lost a child at a young age and they understand what the Gottis went thru when the Gottis lost their child.”

Kelly Preston has said of her husband’s acting: “I think he just inhabits a person so brilliantly…He doesn’t really play them. He becomes them.”

Also joining the cast will be Lindsay Lohan as Kim Gotti, wife of John Gotti Jr.

The movie will depict the life and crimes of John Gotti Sr.  The rights to the story were sold by John Gotti Jr to Fiore Films.  The making of the film doesn’t sit well with victims or critics as they see it as a glorification of the mob boss.

The 15th Annual Webby Award winners, known as the “Oscars of the Web” have been announced and Justin Bieber is a fan favorite.

The nominees in the Comedy: Individual Short or Episode were Zach Galifinakis, Justin Bieber, College Humor, The Onion and 72andSunny.  The winner of the Webby went to Zach Galifinakis with Justin Bieber receiving the People’s Voice Award for his comedy Justin Bieber Takes Over Funny or Die

Of course not everyone was happy with that outcome. College Humor tweeted, “If Justin Bieber wins this Webby, we’re pretty much opening the door for Ke$ha to win an Oscar. SAVE US ALL. Vote CH”

Zach Galifinakis did fairly well at the Webbys, winning in two categories.  The other category he won in was Best Web Personality/Host.

The winners are selected by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.  There will be a live online broadcast of the Webby Awards on June 13th.

The Webbys have been in place since 1997 and honor the best of online entertainment and news.  There are close to 70 different categories with websites making up the majority of the winners, nominees, and honorees. Some of the sites are recognized for their appearance and others for their usability.  Some qualify for both.  Being selected among the best is quite a milestone and worthy of some praise.
