Movie Preview: The Limits of Control
Director Jim Jarmusch comes from a fruitful era of independent film in the '80s, when directors including Spike Lee, Steven Soderbergh and Gus Van Sant were young filmmakers just beginning to make their mark in cinema. Where the others have gone on to enjoy some variation of mainstream success, Jarmusch has continued on with business as usual, making art-house films that often attract a cult following.
His newest film, The Limits of Control, is out now in limited release and stars Tilda Swinton, Isaach De Bankolé, Gael García Bernal, and Bill Murray.
Bill Murray Joins Movie About Funeral-Staging
The premise for this movie is actually kind of funny (I mean, if you ignore the emotional toll this would take on your loved ones): In 1938 a Tennessee recluse named Felix "Bush" Breazeale staged his own funeral so he could be around to enjoy it.
Now the story will be adapted for the big screen, with Bill Murray and Lucas Black signed on to play partners at the funeral home. Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek are also starring in the film which has the title Get Low.
Recast Ghostbusters and Win a Prize!
Every other 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!
For this recast I challenge, I wanted to revisit the '80's hit movie Ghostbusters — the first one — directed by Ivan Reitman (father of Juno director Jason Reitman) and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, and Sigourney Weaver.
Who You Gonna Call? Ghostbusters Video Game
Motivated by the success of other classic movies-turned-video games (Scarface, The Godfather), Sony has inked a deal to make the campy Ghostbusters franchise into a video game. What's more, not only will all four of the main movie guys (Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis) and some of the supporting actors (William Atherton, Annie Potts) be lending their voices and likeness to the game, but Akroyd and Ramis will also be writing a story for it.
Aykroyd and Ramis' story will take place in the early '90s, after Ghostbusters II, "during a new ghoul invasion of New York City."
Bill Murray Enters the City of Ember
What the Deal Is:
One of my favorite comedic actors ever, Bill Murray will star in an adaptation of the young adult novel The City of Ember.
Why This Might Be Awesome:
The film adaptation is being done by Caroline Thompson who co-wrote the scripts for Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Plus, the plot description is as follows:
The script [is] about an insular, dark place where the only light comes from street lamps.
TV Tonight: Letterman's 25th Anniversary
David Letterman celebrates 25 years in late-night television tonight, and whether you love the man or loathe him, you have to admit he's had some pretty great moments over the years. Quite a few have involved Bill Murray, who was Letterman's first guest on his old NBC show in 1982 and quickly became a regular, getting heckled by a rowdy production assistant in the Groundhog Day era and talking about moisturizer pre-Ghostbusters II.
Murray will be back tonight to help Letterman mark his silver anniversary.

Zombieland: The Feel-Good Zombie Flick of the Year
A Note From Buzz: With so many new movies this week, my friend Très was nice enough to apply her scary-movie expertise to review the box office's newest zombie flick.
In the United States of Zombieland, zombies outnumber people. A mad-cow tainted burger tipped the population in favor of the drooling, limping, and grunting set, and now zombies roam a crashed-car littered, empty-minimall-blighted zombiescape.
