Sylvester Stallone Enters The Tomb
Expendable plans prison breakAfter tempting and then losing a couple of other Expendables, high-tech prison drama The Tomb has finally landed the top dog himself, Sylvester Stallone.The Tombhas been coming together at Summit Entertainment for some time. Early reports placed Antoine Fuqua in the director's chair, and reunited him with his Tears Of The Sun star Bruce Willis. Then there was talk of it as one of several potential post-Governator comeback roles for Arnold Schwarzenegger, before he opted for Last Stand instead. But clearly (possibly) Arnold and Bruce liked the project enough to egg Sly onto it during their shared Expendables 2 downtime. You know how it is. You're bored in your trailer, you allow yourself to get talked into another action extravaganza...The film involves a designer of supposedly impregnable prisons having to escape from one of his own maximum security stockades when he's framed for a crime he didn't commit (sounds like a plan that didn't come together). Miles Chapman (Protection) and Jason Keller (Machine Gun Preacher) wrote the screenplay, but Fuqua is no longer attached, since he's now off making Hunter Killer with Gerard Butler.There's no suggestion yet that Stallone is interested in multi-tasking, so expect the announcement that a new director thas entered The Tomb in the very near future.

Sue Mengers dies
Mengers in 1985Sue Mengers, one of Hollywood's most powerful agents in the 1970s, who represented the likes of Sidney Lumet, Peter Bogdanovich, Brian De Palma and Mike Nichols as well as Michael Caine, Cher, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman and Barbra Streisand, died Saturday night in Beverly Hills. She was 79 and had recently suffered a series of small strokes. "She was a trailblazer," said ICM chairman and CEO Jeff Berg. "When Sue was an agent with us in the late 60s at CMA, there were very few who were women, and no senior execs at networks or studios." Remembering the super-agent as "a great signer," Berg said Mengers had "gumption and great wit and was talented at putting people together and finding solutions." The L.A. Times wrote about Mengers in 1987, "Even her detractors admit she was the first female to play hardball in the boys club. And not only with movie star careers: Apart from actors, Mengers was negotiating with the careers and the lives of directors like Lumet and Nichols and Brian De Palma, talents who know what they want -- and are used to getting it." Mengers' friend and longtime associate, ICM agent Boaty Boatwright, said, "Her name became synonymous with women and what she helped us all to accomplish, but her legend is really the vitality with which she lived life, and her wit, which will be celebrated in stories throughout our community for years to come." In a 1973 profile, Time magazine said, "As a vice president of mighty Creative Management Associates, Sue Mengers is, in the rueful words of one of her ex-clients, 'more powerful than the stars she handles.'?" Her parties were considered key networking opportunities, and even after she retired, her home was a center of the Hollywood social scene. She brought out the town's top talent ("single name stars" like "Warren, Jack, Barbra, Elton, Ali, Anjelica, Bette, Sting and Trudy, along with friends with last names like Geffen, Diller, Poitier, Lansing, Friedkin, Semel, Lourd and Zanuck"), as Graydon Carter recalled in a remembrance on Vanityfair.com. Mengers was born in Hamburg to parents who would later flee Germany as the Holocaust got started. She was 8 when the family arrived in the U.S., and her father committed suicide a few years later. She began in showbiz as a secretary at MCA in 1955, then worked in a similar job at the William Morris Agency, where she remained until a former co-worker, Tom Korman, hired her as a talent agent when he started his own agency. Her first success was landing Broadway star Julie Harris. "I was a little pisher, a little nothing making $135 a week as a secretary for the William Morris Agency in NY," Mengers told Mike Wallace in 1975. "Well, I looked around and I admired the Morris office and their executives, and I thought, Gee, what they do isn't that hard, you know. And I like the way they live, and I like those expense accounts, and I like the cars. And I used to stay late at the office, just like 'All About Eve,' and I suddenly thought, 'That beats typing.'?" As the rep for Anthony Perkins, she secured him a role in Rene Clement's film "Is Paris Burning?" (1966). Her next step up came when she was hired by Freddie Fields' agency Creative Management Associates. The agency, which repped Paul Newman, Robert Redford and McQueen, was purchased by Marvin Josephson's International Famous Agency to create International Creative Management in 1974. She left ICM in 1986 and returned briefly as president of William Morris two years later before permanently retiring Known for a sharp tongue and a penchant for poaching from other agencies, Mengers nevertheless admitted to being starstruck herself in a 2009 interview with Vanity Fair. "Stars are rare creatures, and not everyone can be one," she said. "But there isn't anyone on earth -- not you, not me, not the girl next door -- who wouldn't like to be a movie star holding up that gold statuette on Academy Award night." Mengers was an icon within Hollywood, though not well known to the general public: Dyan Cannon's character in Herbert Ross' 1973 film "The Last of Sheila," penned by Perkins and Stephen Sondheim, was based on her. Mengers was married to Belgian writer-director Jean-Pierre Tramont from 1973 until his death in 1996. She leaves no survivors. Contact Variety Staff at news@variety.com

The Dark Knight Rises: Batcave details and police chase video
It's great to hear that we'll get to see the Batcave again in The Dark Knight Rises but it may not be that much of a surprise if a report from the Sony Studios set is to be believed.A fan at Batman-News.com claims to have wandered around the new Batcave and says not much has changed."It's half finished and pretty much looks like the same set we saw in Batman Begins. They're still completing the quarry walls but the wooden manor foundations were all there in the corner. They may add more set dressing with equipment and such but don't expect a radical redesign as most fanboys are expecting," the report reads.Hang on, you might be thinking, that still sounds very unfinished. So what did the construction guys have to say?"Funny thing was I asked the construction guys if they were using the same blueprints/plans from Batman Begins to match continuity, they said, 'No'. But as the set resembled the cave from Begins and I'm a detail freak who knows the movies, (right down to the waterfall entrance where the tumbler flies through) while they may have had new blueprints I could see it was the same cave from seeing the foundation beams that were iconic from the first movie. Also the stage can hold water, they'll fill it when the quarry wall work is finished and they pull all the rigging lights up to illuminate the set."To be honest, you won't see toys flying from TF's pram if the Batcave happens to look a bit familiar.Especially as we've got this snippet of a police chase to keep our Bat-spirits up.Unless this is really a remake ofThe Blues Brothers, in which case where's our log-in to Blues-Brothers-news.com? We've got some bile to spew!Watch Online X-Men: First Class
