The Daily Breeze...
Tom Hanks is developing another show at HBO. Damon and Affleck team up and head to Boston like it's the
Good Will Hunting days. Coldaply. Justin Timberlake. Captain America. And the return of a Butt Head.
- Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are gonna party like it's 1997. The two friends and Oscar winners will team up in the near future for a movie about the reputed former godfather of the Irish Mob. As Matt Damon said in an interview with GQ: "We're doing a Whitey Bulger movie." Damon will star as the notorious gangster while Affleck will direct. Affleck is currently filming his next picture, the Iran hostage crisis film
Argo, and will most likely direct the film after completing that project.
Terence Winter, of
The Sopranos and
Boardwalk Empire, will pen the screenplay.
- Tom Hanks is
developing another show at HBO, but this time the project is not a war epic or a series detailing the space race, instead the setting shifts to another American institution: college. The half-hour comedy, titled
Players, will follow the lives of college athletes and is in development from Hanks and long-time producing partner and Playtone co-founder Gary Goetzman.
- The quality hit from the summer and arguably marvels best "second" wave production
Captain America: The First Avenger gets the
Blu-Ray and DVD treatment this week. Extra features include how to get a six pack and the short documentary on Steve Rogers titled: "From Frail to Feared."
- Coldplay drops their fifth album,
Mylo Xyloto, this week. Lead singer Chris Martin explains to
MTV the details: "It's definitely a schizophrenic album ... it keeps changing sounds. That's why we called it such a strange thing, Mylo Xyloto. Because we felt like so many people have already made up their minds about us, both good and bad, that we can sort of start again from scratch and try and reflect all the music we listen to and we love." Some people
will scream.
- Speaking of MTV...
Beavis and Butt Head makes a glorious return to television this week on Thursday night. This time around the duo will be riffing on the likes of the
Jersey Shore and
16 and Pregnant.
Beavis and Butt-head Do America is classic. Cornholio.

In Time races into theaters, the latest film from
Gattaca director Andrew Niccol. The film stars Justin Timberlake, along with the slick cast of Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Wilde, Johnny Galecki and Matt Bomer, as a man who is accused of murder and has to go on the run. The catch in this one? It's a retro-future when the aging gene has been switched off and people stop aging at 25 years old. Time is money, literally. JT starts running when he inherits a fortune of time from a dead upper-class man over a century old prior to his death. The premise might sound a bit out there, but trust the director on this one.
Gattaca is one of the most underrated films of the 90's.

crazy stuff
happened on
Boardwalk Empire last night.
