Young actresses regularly reinvent their image once they hit a certain amount of fame. Sometimes it’s a visual disasterpiece like Lindsey Lohan’s I Know Who Killed Me, and occasionally it’s pure gold, as was Jodie Foster’s performance in Taxi Driver. There’s no telling what Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers will do for Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez. Ashley Greene’s upcoming role, however, probably isn’t going to be as extreme as any of those. Entertainment Weekly has the first shot of Greene in director Olly Blackburn’s horror-thriller Random, in which Greene plays Violet, the heavily pierced leader of a violent gang who chooses to terrorize a college student (Haley Bennett) who stays on campus during holiday break. Greene is best known for her role as Edward Cullen’s sister in the Twilight films, but Random looks like it will trade vampire melodrama for mental anguish and a probable twist ending. Check out Greene wearing what looks to be a purple hoodie, lip rings and welder’s gloves in the image below.

Musicals express feelings in a way spoken word simply can't, and this version of Les Miserables understands how to drill to the very root of those feelings, in ways nothing onstage really can. More than any of its fellow Best Picture nominees, it combines the old-fashioned showmanship of Hollywood films of yore with a crisp, modern aesthetic-- a signpost of how musicals can draw from the past as well as a map toward what they might become.

I expect a huge scar somewhere noticeable, since I assume her tortured look involves more than just a couple of lip and nose rings - all of which ended up being fake for the film. “I told them I’d be willing to get all the piercings,” Green said. “I think my mom is happy they’re not real.”

For most people, a promotion might entail a change in uniform, a bigger office, or a company car... if you’re lucky. In taking over as President of Lucasfilms last year, Kathleen Kennedy got both the privilege and the stress of heading one the most lucrative and imaginative film franchises ever. Something we can certainly all relate to. But in taking on more responsibility, some things just have to be pushed to the side.

The Kennedy/Marshall Company was founded by the duo in 1992, and Kennedy was a producer on Jurassic Park, the less enjoyable The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and the far more dismal Jurassic Park III.

Obviously, that opinion eventually changed, and Pop Blend couldn’t be happier for him. Our sincerest congratulations go out to him and Stringfield as they embark on this completely new phase of their lives. Here’s to hoping, despite all the trials of parenthood, that it’s every bit as fulfilling as they’d hoped. It’s amazing how far skateboarding has come. Decades ago, the Z-Boys were learning how to propel themselves out of swimming pools and into the air, celebrating just inches of early vertical air. Now skateboarders are pulling off 900s and doing stairway tricks as utterly crazed and brilliant as the one you’re about to see. Earlier this year, professional rider Adam Miller built up a moderate amount of speed in front of six stairs and proceeded to dismount and backflip down a level and onto the waiting board without breaking stride. Not surprisingly, the footage quickly went viral, and you can check out the clip below…

Now Fincher is once again trying to make steps toward making it happen, but contrary to some reports, he won't be bringing one of his longtime collaborators with him.

Digging into the tax incentives Australia will be offering to try and lure the production to their shores, THR learned that Brad Pitt is not set to star, though their rival Variety reported he would last fall. The project has not been given a green light at Disney, but studio executives are meeting with Australia's federal arts minister Simon Crean to talk about details of the incentive, which could refund them $19.2 million of their production costs. That's almost a drop in the bucket compared to the massive budget for a film like this, but hey, every little bit helps.

It still seems a little bizarre that the intellectual, hyper-controlling David Fincher might move on to a giant blockbuster remake, but he's clearly a guy who chooses his projects carefully, and there must be something in there that draws him. It would be a fantastic bonus if he could manage to get his old pal Brad Pitt on board, but the promise of a Fincher-directed ocean epic is probably enough to get most of us to buy tickets. And since we've been looking forward to it for three years now, is this finally time for it to actually happen?
