  Darren Aronofsky is bowing out of helming 20th Century Fox’s sequel The Wolverine, owing to the project keeping him out of the country for too long. In a joint statement with Fox, the Black Swan director said: “As I talked more about the film with my collaborators at Fox, who have been totally supportive throughout my work on the movie, it became clear that the production of The Wolverine would keep me out of the country for almost a year.    “I...

  Bless Jason Bateman, who appeared on Regis & Kelly (a yank TV show, innit) to discuss how he turned the waterworks on when watching  Justin Bieber’s: Never Say Never. Unless Bateman was drugged by one of Bieber’s psychotic 6-month old toddlers (fans, natch) before the screening, we’re kinda thinking that the film could just be up for an Oscar for Best Hairgel and Best Forehead in a Movie. Bateman praised Never Say Never...
