Billy Bob, Ashley Olsen, Basinger Are The Informers

Check out this interesting-looking cast.
This film project brings together some interesting folks: Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Ashley Olsen, Brandon Routh, Jon Foster and Lou Pucci are all set to star in The Informers, based on a collection of short stories by Bret Easton Ellis.

What's it about?
Well, in typical Ellis fashion (this is the man who penned American Psycho and Rules of Attraction), I'm betting on a healthy dose of rape, drug use and general depravity. Variety describes the plot thusly: "The drama is set over the course of a week in 1983, in the chillingly nihilistic world of Ellis' youth in Los Angeles. Seven storylines intersect, involving movie execs, rock stars, a vampire and other morally challenged characters."

Ashley Olsen? Really?
Molly thinks this is a mistake, that reporters on this story are mixing up Ashley and Mary-Kate. If this turns out to be true, it will be pretty amusing.

Recast "Full House" and Win a Prize!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 16:35:11 -0700

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Among the many fantastic suggestions of TV shows and movies to recast, one of my favorites was "Full House" because it's a multi-generational cast which is slightly more challenging than the dramas featuring a mostly teenage cast.

For this week's recast challenge, who could you see playing the even-tempered Danny Tanner, or the other two guys (Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey) raising a family together in a heterosexual way? What about the three girls, DJ, Stephanie and Michelle? Or the lady of the house, Rebecca? Perhaps most importantly, who could do weird little Kimmy Gibbler justice?
Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, June 26, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt, read more

Characters to recast:
Danny Tanner (Bob Sagat)
Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos)
