You had the concept, the financing, and some production partners, but you were waiting to see if the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the earth by creating a black hole at its core and if Team Sacha Baron Cohen was going to survive the myriad lawsuits stemming from their sneaky interviewing malfeasance.

The battle lines have been drawn! Etan Cohen and Robert Downey Jr, both involved in “Tropic Thunder,” divide into different “Sherlock” camps.

Columbia Pictures has announced that Sacha Baron Cohen, the actor who put Kazakhstan on the map and Will Ferrell, the master at portraying self important losers, will team up as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

All of the other animals are going to make their return as well, but they will not quite be as entertaining.

Steven Spielberg backs out of Chicago 7, putting the production in serious jeopardy.

Sacha Baron Cohen could be joining up with Steven Spielberg’s Trial of the Chicago 7.

For those of you looking forward to a Borat sequel, I have some deeply saddening news.

I hate to have to throw myself into the fires of minority hell, but I’m compelled to vote no on Tim Burton’s dour, overly dark and overly bloody Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Burton, from Sondheim’s source material (a helluva score), does a heck of a job balancing the unwinking bloodletting with a bit of dark comedy.

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp go together like black and blue, or like fire and ash. Amidst the chaos, there is a unique unison between the two conflicting forces.

For those still wondering, they do actually sing in Tim Burton’s adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s musical.

Alan Rickman and Johnny Depp both equate it to some good, old school horror, but they don’t talk much about the song-and-dance. I wonder if this is intentional on the part of Paramount’s marketing department.
