Jason Statham Out, ‘Haywire’s’ Gina Carano In for ‘Fast Six’

For a while back in October 2011, the Fast and the Furious franchise looked to become for Generation Y what The Expendables is for those who grew up in the 1980s and ’90; namely, an adrenaline-fueled, macho star-studded event, with a collection of action fan-favorites – such as Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and possibly Jason Statham – all together and tearing up the screen (or each other, on occasion).
However, earlier this month, word got out that a deal to snag Statham for Fast Six (or Fast and Furious 6, depending on who you ask) failed to materialize.

‘Skyfall’ Extended Featurette; Trailer Attached to ‘Men in Black 3′

Columbia Pictures/MGM has so far favored an ingenious marketing approach for the twenty-third installment in the James Bond franchise, Skyfall. Several featurettes and video blogs for 007′s anticipated return to theaters have trickled out over the past couple of months, so as to keep the film continually on the public’s radar. Yet, the movie’s various secrets and plot twists remain largely under wraps (not that we’re complaining, mind you).
That’s also the case today, as ET unveils an extended version of its Skyfall set visit video. Despite including interviews with central cast members like Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, and newbie Bond girl Bérénice Marlohe, this new featurette avoids shedding much light on anything about the movie.
