As if Leonardo DiCaprio didn't already have enough on his plate, his long-delayed project The Wolf of Wall Street is getting pushed into the foreground again with some help from Ridley Scott. Scott is looking to helm the film, which has been sitting idle for over three years; Martin Scorsese will move from his original role as director into producer duties.

To refresh, Wolf is based on Jordan Belfort's memoir about his days as a stockbroker in the '90s, as he was called to cooperate in a securities fraud case. Full of decadence, corruption, and jail time, it's a tale that feels even more timely now in this post-Bernie Madoff climate. Perhaps waiting to get it up on the big screen was a good move, after all.

The new trailer for Ridley Scott's Robin Hood makes the classic tale look like child's play (one dead giveaway: no tights in sight). As you might expect, when you reteam Scott with his Gladiator star Russell Crowe, the result is gritty, bloody, and way more hard-edged than the Kevin Costner '90s version. The heavy metal music does feel like it's trying too hard — as one critic points out, it sounds like a car commercial — but I'm liking it. I would just like to see more of Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian. Judging by the clip, I'm guessing this film is going light on the fluffy romance though.

The movie hits theaters on May 14, but take a peek at the video and tell me what you think when you read more

Zach Galifianakis's star continues to rise. The Hangover funny man is reportedly in talks for Town House. Loosely based on the novel by Tish Cohen, the dramedy follows an agoraphobic dad (Galifianakis) living off royalties from his rock star father — the dilemma being what to do when the money runs out. Amy Adams would play a call girl who befriends him.

Adams, aka Miss Enchanted, as a prostitute? Galifianakis as a father?! I love both of these actors, and I'm excited to see them branch out. With Tony and Ridley Scott producing, and John Carney of Once fame is attached to direct, I have high hopes for this one.

What's your take on the news? If the plot gets romantic — which I'm guessing it will — do you think Galifianakis and Adams will make a good pair? (I wonder if he'll shave that beard!)

Despite what she may have said in the past, Angelina Jolie's career isn't slowing down anytime soon. Last week we learned that she'll be taking Charlize Theron's place in The Tourist and she may be adding another femme fatale role to her resume. Jolie is in talks to take the lead in Ridley Scott's Gucci.

Jolie would play Patrizia Reggiano, who spent 29 years in prison for plotting the murder of her ex husband, Maurizio Gucci. The script is still being reworked and Ridley's search for his Maurizio continues — apparently Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached but has yet to sign on.

I could absolutely see Jolie in this role, and in general I like when she can show more of her acting chops and less of her kung fu skills. Bonus: Angelina and Leo would make for one hot big screen couple.
