Trade Round-Up: Jude Law Getting Pretty Again
· Jude Law "breaks" into Anthony Minghella's Breaking and Entering, "entering" our hearts in a role as the prettiest architect that the world has ever seen. [Variety]
· More proof that Quentin Tarantino would direct the parking of a Land Rover into a particularly tight space if the money was right: He'll devise a "special" story for and direct the season finale of CSI. [THR]
· When will agents learn that agenting is enough to feed their soul, and stop fleeing their bloodsucking coops in search of satisfaction that will never come? UTA partner David Schiff leaves to create his own multi-purpose entertainment company, the aptly named Schiff Co. [Variety]
· Shed a tear for multimedia behemoth Viacom, who've suffered an $18 billion loss this quarter. We're not sure how, but we're certain that future intergalactic despot Les Moonves is behind this, and the invasion is still nigh. Smuggle your children to Canada before they're assimilated. [THR]
· Having sufficiently ruined the professions of detective, gangster, and military officer (various ranks and branches), the bloated John Travolta tries to drive drag-queens to suicide by considering a turn as Hairspray matron Edna Turnblad. [Variety]
