Eliza Dushku is to Joss Whedon what Leonardo DiCaprio is to Martin Scorsese … but with a great set of jugs. The pair have worked together on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” and the recently canceled Fox sci-fi series “Dollhouse.” Now, the 29-year-old starlet has hinted that she and Whedon will collaborate on a movie, most likely Whedon’s long-gestating thriller Goners.

Dushku told HollywoodLife.com:

I would say that we would be working on something new very soon! I think we’re going to work on a kickass feature together that we’ve been thinking about for a few years.

Dushku is also rumored to have a role in Ivan Reitman’s highly anticipated Ghostbusters 3.

Outside of horror, there are only three things that terrify me: work, actress Sandra Oh’s face, and sushi.

Ranger John over at Animals Hate Us has got a pretty spot-on rant against sushi bars that you should check out if you are even thinking about dining on raw fish and octopus tonight.

What caught my interest, however, was the creepy video John posted along with his story. It depicts a woman eating a live octopus that just won’t go down. The clip was created by French artist Steve Morel.

Metal outfit Mudvayne have released a music video for their new single “Beautiful and Strange.” The vid features scenes of torture, dead people fucking, and an old guy who looks a lot like Emperor Palpatine.

Take a look:

You got a hand it to these goth/metal types. They sure know how to romanticize death. If I had awaken in my tomb and managed to crawl out, I don’t think I would have banged the dead chick in the plot next to me. I would have just gone home and watched HBO with a bucket of KFC and a bottle of Belvedere and enjoyed my time up until my next coronary.

“Beautiful and Strange” is off the band’s new self-titled CD.

If you need to keep headbanging, don’t miss these videos by Slayer and Slipknot.

Director Michael Bay appeared on Starz’ “In the House” program last night to talk about the new Transformers movie, shooting in 3-D, and keeping Hollywood’s ass out of the unemployment line. Read on for the skinny:

On Transformers 3, Bay said:

You can’t just rehash the old. We’re adding a lot of new elements. We’re adding new characters. We’re adding a lot of twists.

Could one of those twists be 3-D? Paramount Pictures has reportedly been pushing Bay to shoot the film in 3-D despite the director’s dismissal of the technique as “time consuming” and a “fad.” But, judging from what Bay told Starz, it looks like the studio may get its way:

It’s a process we’re testing with some ‘Transformers’ scenes. How successful it is with my movie in terms of a lot of real stuff coming out of the frame, real dirt, real complicated little particles coming towards the lens, because hopefully that process will work. I’ve seen some tests that look great on other movies. I just want to see how it looks on my footage.

Bay was also asked about passing on a smaller project he was scheduled to work on before Transformers 3.

Bay explained:

I’ve become friends with these guys that run Paramount and they told me, ‘We’re going to get fired if we don’t have a 2011 franchise,’ so I’m like you can’t let these guys down. The economy’s been so rough, it’s kind of important. When you say yes to movie like this you automatically give 3000 people jobs. 1000 for the toys. 2000 for the filmmaking. I’m going to put [the small film] on hold and do it right after.

Transformers 3 begins production in May. Plans to shoot major action sequences in Chicago and Moscow were announced yesterday on Bay’s website.

Chemistry is what makes this franchise work.

Shia Labeouf, model-turned-actor Tyrese Gibson, and—most importantly—Megan Fox are all confirmed to return. Transformers 3 is slated to be in theaters on July 1, 2011.

Acclaimed director Alfonso Cuaron has tapped Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie to headline his new sci-fi thriller Gravity. Written by Cuaron and his son Jonas, the film follows a failed space expedition’s sole survivor (Jolie) as she attempts to head back home to her daughter on Earth.

While additional details about the film are being kept under wraps, it has been reported that Jolie will most likely be the only actor seen on screen and could possibly be playing the daughter role as well (Jolie as an identical mother/daughter team? Wow. I hope they can’t hear me masturbate in space).

Jolie reportedly backed out of Univeral Pictures Wanted 2 to work with Cuaron. The 48-year-old Mexican director impressive creds include Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Y Tu Mama Tambien.

Warner Bros. will handle distribution for the film. David Heyman (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Legendary Pictures are producing.

UPDATE: Everything you read apparently is bullshit. Jolie’s reps are saying that the actress has passed on Gravity. I know, you feel angry for having taken the time to read this. I too am disappointed having wasted five minutes to write it. I could have jerked off in that time … twice.

Overture Films really knows how to throw a party. The studio held a top secret screening and after-party for its upcoming viral-outbreak thriller The Crazies last night at the KCET back lot in Los Angeles.

Guests were put through military check points and bused to various “infected” camps, while actors roamed the areas in full costume and makeup without breaking character.

The film’s director (Breck Eisner) and cast was also in attendance, including leads Timothy Olyphant (A Perfect Getaway), Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill), and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th). All-in-all, the event looked pretty awesome.

Unfortunately, I was not invited could not attend due to my asshole bleaching appointment (they’re impossible to book in LA). But, don’t worry. I have nonetheless compiled a gallery for your viewing pleasure down below (courtesy of Zimbio).

The Crazies opens this Friday.

“Desperate Housewives” alum Rachel Fox has been invited to director Jim Sheridan’s Dream House. The 13-year-old actress joins Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, and Daniel Craig in the Morgan Creek produced thriller, due out next year.

Dream House revolves around a married couple (Weisz, Craig) who discovers that their just purchased New England home was the scene of a vicious domestic crime that left a mother and her two children dead. It’s unknown if Fox will play daughter to Weisz and Craig’s characters or if she’s one of the murdered kids.

“Desperate Housewives” fans will recognize Fox as Tom and Lynette Scavo’s precocious daughter Kyla Scavo.

That reminds me. I gotta check my DVR and see what happened between Susan and Bree after Carl bit the bullet underneath that plane. Damn if those Wisteria Lane residents aren’t an interesting group of cougars.

Dreamworks Animation has released its final trailer for director Chris Sanders upcoming 3-D animated feature How to Train Your Dragon, arriving in theaters on March 26.

Based on the kid’s novel by British author Cressida Cowell, How to Train Your Dragon tells the story of an awkward teenage Viking named Hiccup who is struggling to become a great dragon slayer, but ends up learning a valuable lesson from a dragon he fatefully encounters.

The film features the voices of Jay Baruchel (Fan Boys), Gerard Butler (300), America Ferrara (“Ugly Betty”), Jonah Hill, (Superbad), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick-Ass), Kristen Wiig (Despicable Me) and T.J. Miller (Cloverfield) and late night talk show host Craig Ferguson.

I know. It’s not violent and there’s zero nudity. But, sometimes, when I feel I’ve been watching too much horror, I just ask myself: What would baby Jesus watch?

So, let’s take a break from the blood and boobs, and enjoy the following trailer:

He’s one of white America’s most beloved comedic actors but, on March 1, Steve Guttenberg steps into a role no one could have seen coming. The man behind such feel-good classics as Police Academy, Cocoon, 3 Men and a Baby, Police Academy 2, Cocoon: The Return, 3 Men and a Little Lady, Police Academy 3, Short Circuit, and Police Academy 4 is back in director Daniel Maze’s torture-thriller Cornered.

Cornered centers on a group of people who gather at their friend’s liquor store to play poker and talk shit about a sadistic serial-killer targeting convenience store employees in their town. Before they know it, however, the killer is upon them. Will Guttenberg help them get the upper hand or does he have other plans up his sleeve?

Check out the trailer:

Guttenberg has remained mum about his character in the film, but has expressed satisfaction in breaking out of his traditional fare.

He says (via press release):

It was fun, creative and it was something I got to do that I have never done before. I’m happy to be here and make it work.

Cornered costars James Duval, Peter Story, Eduardo Antonio Garcia, Ellia English, David Basila, David Jean Thomas, and cute 22-year-old fledgling starlet Elizabeth Nicole.

Platinum Dunes have released a second trailer for their upcoming reboot of Wes Craven’s 1984 slasher A Nightmare on Elm Street, starring Jackie Earle Haley (Shutter Island, Watchmen) as iconic child molester/killer Freddy Krueger.

Take a look:

Wow. Watching Elm Street’s classic scare scenes updated really proves to me that every old horror film should be remade. I know that pisses off horror purists and the nostalgic among you, but—like your mothers—movies don’t hold up well with time. That’s not to say all remakes are good. Most suck. But, the remake/reboot concept is golden.

Platinum Dunes was co-founded by Michael Bay with Brad Fuller and Andrew Form in 2001. The studio has produces successful remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, The Hitcher, and The Amityville Horror.

A Nightmare on Elm Street arrives in theaters on April 30.
