Matt Damon got back into his retro gear on the set of Behind the Candelabra in LA yesterday. He filmed with costar Dan Aykroyd for Steven Soderbergh's upcoming Liberace biopic. Matt first debuted his new look, sporting a full blond wig and waxed chest, when he reported to set on Monday. Although Matt is focused on his latest project on the West Coast, he's also somewhat of a presence during the London Olympics. His voice can be heard as the narrator of the United Airlines and TD Ameritrade commercials playing on NBC throughout the Summer Games.

Justin Timberlake Has a Jolly Old Time With Yogi, Boo Boo, and Wine
Justin Timberlake was filling in a bear sandwich Saturday afternoon at the LA premiere of Yogi Bear. We caught up with JT on the red carpet, where he shared all about his drunken dream picnic in Napa. He voices Boo Boo in the CGI live-action film, but more recently has been busy shooting Now. JT was out of commission for a bit after injuring his leg on set, though he's due to return to work this week thanks to some recuperation with Jessica Biel. It's another of JT's many film projects that's getting the award season buzz — The Social Network is gaining momentum leading up to the Oscars, earning nine Critics' Choice nominations today.

Yogi Bear Trailer Should've Stayed in the Woods
Proof that just because Yogi Bear is in CGI does not make him "smarter than the average bear": this teaser for the new live-action version of the cartoon. Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake voice the duo of Yogi and Boo-Boo with Tom Cavanagh and Anna Faris playing the "human" roles, but star power can't seem to save this. Kids may love it; however, the CGI here just doesn't look good. See what I mean when you read more
New Ghostbusters Movie: Yay? Yes, Yay!
Normally when '80s remake news makes its way to my computer screen, my knee-jerk reaction is something like, "People! Get some creativity and let that decade rest in peace already!" This morning, however, I read several confirmations that Ghostbusters 3 is in the works and surprised myself by feeling very, very excited.
I think there are several reasons for this including:
- It has a good chance of not sucking, because it's in very capable hands. Two Emmy-nominated writers from The Office, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, have been recruited "to work on a new installment of the 1980s franchise that starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis as bumbling ghost-hunting scientists."
- The Hollywood Reporter also notes that "the original filmmakers, including director Ivan Reitman, and cast are aware of the project and involved in its development." Blessing from original director and cast? Another excellent sign.
- And finally, it appears that we may get the best of both worlds cast-wise. Variety says the idea is to get the old gang back together in some capacity, while the Hollywood Reporter says that while original cast members may appear, the focus will be on a new group of ghostbusters. Either way, all signs point to some infusion of new talent. For example, E! has a quote from Dan Aykroyd implying he would love to have the Apatow comedy troupe involved. This is a good thing, because I'd hate to see the old ghostbusters strapping on their proton packs only to complain about how heavy they suddenly feel. I'd be worried a movie that only reunites the old cast one last time would feel too much like Wild Hogs.
So while there's a lot still up in the air, this news gets a big fat yay from me so far! What do you think? Are you excited for a third installment of this movie, and does it sound to you like it could actually be good? What actors would you want to see in a potential new cast? If you're not as pumped as I am yet, I dug up a little music video that I think might do the trick, so read more
