Movie Buzz The casting director of Shelter, a Julianne Moore/Jonathan Rhys Meyers horror movie about to start filming, was fired after putting out a call for inbred-looking people to play West Virginia hillbillies. West Virginians were not amused. We wonder, don't they have makeup artists for that sort of thing? Interestingly, a British government minister only got a slap on the wrist for his recent comments about British Muslims' inbred look.
Movie Buzz The mysterious monster from Cloverfield will be available as a toy. Though the look of the Cloverfield monster is a closely guarded secret, Hasbro has begun taking orders for a toy version that will ship September 30, 2008. Though no image is provided, some think NBC may have planted a spoiler in Kenneth's dream journal on 30 Rock.
Movie Buzz With a new trailer, a new official site (plus several new viral marketing sites), buzz for the secret J.J. Abrams Movie is building steadily. As long as it's better than Snakes On A Plane, we'll all be happy. Update: Cloverfield reviews have been great so far!
