The Wolf of Wall Street has a great cast.

Also very interested in C.K. being in the new Woody Allen.

jonah hill!!!!!!!

Great, now World War Z can feature tons of stupid plot holes in technology and characters that die because they don't simply run in a different direction.

How many times has World War Z been rewritten now?

Uggg lost Joseph Gordon-Levitt....gained Jonah Hill.....Boo.

Something must have been off if he didn't want to schedule in a day or two of shooting a small part in a Quentin flick.

ugh jonah hill

So I see we're at the point where Jonah Hill is popular enough that its cool to hate

I need to see how Emma Watson does in that Sophia Coppola movie (AND in Perks) before really judging if she can act.

He's busy filming his own project and he's busy promoting the other projects he's involved in.
I love JGL and thought it would have been cool to see him do a Tarantino movie, but c'est la vie.

People hate Jonah Hill now? Ok

Jonah Hill is fantastic, whiners.

Weeds ending about 3 or 4 seasons too late.

Dredd could actually be really cool. Karl Urban is a good choice.

Any new music coming from EITS is exciting.

I would be happy with a Bored To Death movie.
