300 Sequel News
Collider spoke with 300 producers Mark Canton, Gianni Nunnari and Bernie Goldmann at the recent Saturn Awards and got them to reveal that not only are they working on a Blu-ray edition of the film but they’re also planning a sequel and/or prequel. Frank Miller is busy working on a brand new story and director Zack Snyder says that if they think it could work as a movie, they’re going to make it!
I know some people would prefer 300 to stay as a standalone film, however this is Hollywood. 300 was a surprise hit for Warner Bros, having septupled (x7) its budget, so it makes business sense to jump on the sequel bandwagon.

Exclusive: Find Out Who Will Play Angela's Other Man on Bones
He’s heeere…Inside sources tell me that the producers of Fox’s Bones have cast an actor to play Angela’s long-lost husband. Click in to find out which guy got the extremely great gig of canoodling with Michaela Conlin on a regular basis.
I’m told that Sean Blakemore (you can IMDb him here) will be playing Grayson Birimbau, the superperfect über-mensch (kind and brilliant, and hot and rich to boot) who met Angela one hot night in Fiji and persuaded her to become his wife (even if just for that one hot night).
Way back in April, Bones creator Hart Hanson told WWK, “We’re gonna find the best guy in the world for Angela. Whoever we finally cast, Jack has to be completely and utterly cowed when this guy finally walks in.”
And at the Asian Excellence Awards the lovely Ms. Michaela herself told E! that the producers were looking at Djimon Hounsou as the prototypical Birimbau. (I guess Kimora Lee was keepin’ him busy living life in her Fab Lane on E!)
What do you think? Did they hit close to the Djimon Hounsou mark? And more importantly, what will the introduction of Birimbau mean for Angela’s love affair with Dr. Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne)? Are they ever going to be able to disentangle this mess and tie the knot themselves?
Solange Knowles Celebrates 22nd Birthday
Solange Knowles Celebrates 22nd Birthday
Everything is bigger and better when you’re a celebrity. So when it came time to plan Solange Knowles’ 22nd birthday party, the guest list included some pretty big names.
Knowles’ sister Beyonce, as well as rapper Ludacris, Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, and singer JoJo all showed up to wish her a happy b-day.
Clad in a bright orange strapless dress, Solange mingled around the Los Angeles party, held at a private residence, stopping to pose with her older sis and mother.
Her new album Sol Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams hits stores this August. And she recently told press that having a famous older sister has its blessings as well as its curses.
“People think that my family association helps me, but in a lot of senses it hinders me. When reaching out to these producers, they don’t know if I’m a real musician or if I’m just someone’s annoying little sister.”
Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller: On the Edge
Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller: On the Edge
They’re the hottest duo since Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman starred in “The Other Boleyn Girl” together. And Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller were all smiles at their photocall for “The Edge of Love.”
The British beauties were spotted hamming it up for the cameras in Edinburgh, Scotland earlier today as they began the promotional tour for their upcoming film.
Sienna’s role was originally supposed to go to Lindsay Lohan, but when she fell through producers immediately called on the “Factory Girl” starlet to step in.
She told press, “I had two weeks to prepare before we started filming. Normally I would spend a lot more time doing research and getting completely paranoid but I just had to jump, which suited the part because she was quite abandoned.”
And Knightley confessed that she loved the script to the point that it stuck with her after reading it just once. “When you’re an actress, the lines disappear from your head as soon as you pick up a new script. But Dylan Thomas’s words never disappeared from my head. The love I had for him, I retained.”
