James Franco starring as Multiple Man in ‘X-Men’ spin-off movie. Like, what the fuck?
James Franco, who loves himself more than I love anything in the world, is returning to the world of comic books to play Jamie Madrox in a Multiple Man movie. I slightly fuck with the dude as an actor, but like with fellow dicklord blowhard Jared Leto, I often struggle separating his self-satisfaction from his performances.
‘Alien: Covenant’ Adds James Franco To Its (Bursting?) Cast
James Franco has officially been added to the cast of Alien: Covenant. I’m a fan of Franco (for the most part) and the Alien franchise (for the most part)!
James “Yes, I’m That Pleased With Myself” Franco starring in Abrams-produced Stephen King adaptation, ’11/22/63′
Yeah. I wanted to take a shot at James Franco that bad. To the point of an utterly enormous headline. I don’t give a fuck! If Jimmy Franco can be so self-satisfied while miring himself in a rut of eye-rolling indie choices and dick-and-fart joke flicks with Rogen, I can be self-satisfied in my own below-mediocre blogging. Fuck you! Oh. And this post is about Stephen King, Jar Jar Abrams, Jimmy Franco, and JFK.
James Franco bringing Palahniuk’s ‘Rant’ to the movie screen
Palahniuk’s Rant is frankly — fucking brilliant. And frankly, and I am loathe to use this term usually — seemingly unfilmmable. So while part of me is excited another book by My Favorite is making it to the big screen, the rest of me is a high-pitched, piano wire screech of barely audible anxiety.
‘THIS IS THE END’ April Fools’ Trailer: ‘Pineapple Express Part Deux’
April Fool’s Day fucking sucks. Yeah, Google. You’re brilliant. Even more brilliant is Random Guy X on your Facebook feed. However, the douchebags behind This Is The End have produced something for the day that isn’t completely loathsome. It’s a new trailer for the flick, riffing on the idea of a sequel to We Get It Rogen, You Like Weed. Why do I float the pass? ‘Cause it’s actually promoting a real product and shit. Am I being arbitrary? Probably.
Scientists make monkeys smarter with BRAIN IMPLANTS. We have learned…nothing.
Didn’t these fucking scientists see Rise of James Franco’s Wild Fucking Apes? Sure, sure. Give these monkeys brain implants. Next thing you know we’re all going to have our faces eaten off as the Great Culling of 2013 unleashes itself upon the world. Shit. Don’t say we didn’t have it coming, I guess.
CAGE MATCH: The Week in Nic Cage
Welcome back to the Cage Match, Omega Level’s weekly column on the actor who owes $6 million in taxes and is somehow not in prison: Nicolas Cage. Anticipation for the grossly delayed Season of the Witch is building and as we draw closer to its January release date a slew of new stills and BTS pics have been released. There’s even a new clip featuring lots of CGI wolves! Speaking of those taxes, our man is getting in even more legal trouble in L.A. We’ll take a look at those court documents as well as ALL of Cage’s homes – all 15 of them! James Franco – who Cage directed in Sonny – appeared on Inside the Actor’s Studio and had some (homo) juice on Cage. Oh, and, Cage’s brother Christopher has been taken on a terrible “alias.” More on that later. Now, what about those wolves?
Mo’ Swords, Mo’ Wolves
It looks like Season of the Witch (January 7, 2011) will be light on Cage insanity we all love but will be entertaining overall. IMDB has an exclusive clip (which is un-embeddable) that has some cheesy looking CGI wolves attacking the carriage escorting the witch. I think. The brains at IMDB have entitled the clip “Wolves.” Nice one, guys.
On the hunt for more Witch? The folks at FearNet have a gallery of over 40 stills and behind the scenes photos. It looks like Dominic Sena and his crew got the Medieval vibe down!
Poor, Poor Nic Cage
Yesterday, Cage pleaded before the court in L.A., asking that his “high powered” business managers be banned from speaking with Nevada State Bank. NSB is suing Cage over a house he once owned in Nevada that went into foreclosure. He owes them around $2.5 million. His business managers are being asked by NSB to appear before a deposition early next month. Cage addressed the L.A. court, stating his “private financial and business records, confidential tax returns, confidential communications with tax authorities and documents” should be protected by attorney-client privilege.

I’m just a simple boy from small-town New Jersey, so the world of high powered L.A. lawyers is like Narnia to me. Not to play obsessed super-fan, but I imagine they make Cage miserable. He’s more concerned with family, comic books, and being the man (see picture above) than with legal BS. Keep your head up, tiger!
