Jason Reitman, Kevin Smith, Lauren Conrad to Blog for NHL

Wendy — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:31:23 +0000

Starting Wednesday, celebrities will begin blogging for the National Hockey League’s (NHL) web site. The celebrities involved include “Juno” director Jason Reitman, “The Hills” Lauren Conrad, Dierks Bentley, Kevin Smith, David Boreanaz, A.J. Buckley, Tom Cavanagh, William Fichtner and Geoff Stults.

More than a dozen celebrities will blog on the NHL site about their favorite temams during the Stanley Cup playoffs.

“As NHL.com bloggers, they can be irreverent and candid about their love for the NHL,” she said.

Jason Reitman told the Associated Press:

“I’d come to really love the game and I was just a little upset because I felt there was more of an opportunity for particularly Americans to know about the game and follow the game.

This year is a little depressing because my two teams, the (Vancouver) Canucks and the (Los Angeles) Kings, neither of them are in the playoffs,” he said, adding that the invitation came “when the Canucks still had a chance.

“Now the Canucks aren’t in it. So what I decided is that I’m going to write a kind of mythical blog about what the Canucks and Kings would be doing had they still been in. In my version, for the first time in NHL history, the Canucks and the Kings will be the first two Western Conference teams to actually meet in the Stanley Cup finals.”

“Juno” star Ellen Page, who was set to star in Sam Raimi’s new film, “Drag Me to Hell,” has dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

According to Variety, Ellen Page was to begin shooting the thriller on March 17, but Screen Actors Guild contract negotiations postponed the date. With SAG discussions to begin in April and a possible strike, some film projects have been put on hold.

Sam Raimi is the director behind the cult classic “The Evil Dead” series as well as blockbusters “Spider-Man,” “Spider-Man 2″ and “Spider-Man 3.”

80th Annual Academy Awards – Best Picture Posters and Trailers

Jon Roth — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:52:54 +0000

The following movies have been nominated for Best Motion Picture of the Year. You might notice that three of five of the nominated movies are based on novels. Some or all of the movies were selected by the American Film Institute and won or were nominated for Golden Globes.

IMDB has the rest of the Academy Award nominations. The Academy Awards are not exempt from the WGA writers strike, so hopefully some independent deal will be resolved if the strike itself is not.
