He is suggesting it may be a reunion with his partner from the Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford. "I hate to talk about anything until the papers are drawn up, but we've been looking for something for 20 years and now we're looking harder," Newman said. "I hope something will come of it." He will also look to give up his other great passion - motor racing.

The 3rd prequel to the Star Wars franchise may have a much needed edge to it in "Episode III - Revenge of the Sith."

Could Quentin Tarantino take over creative duties for "Friday the 13th?" The Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction writer/director is reportedly in "early talks with New Line Cinema, where he is scheduled to meet with executives this week."

From one womanizer to another, Julian McMahon, who plays Christian Troy on the daring FX series, "Nip/Tuck," may be trading in his surgical tools and groupies for high-tech spy gadgets and Bond Girls.

Keanu Reeves may have found a role that could possibly loosen up his usual stiff on-screen presence. "A Scanner Darkly" is basically an animated movie as a result of tracing over a real one. Maybe the studios can add extra expressions to Reeve's poker face.
Set in a future world where America has lost the war on drugs, an undercover cop, Fred (Reeves), is one of many agents hooked on the popular drug, Substance D, which causes its users to develop split personalities. Fred, for instance, is also Bob, a notorious drug dealer. Along with his superior officers, Fred sets up an elaborate scheme to catch Bob and tear down his operation. (Yahoo)
