Can anyone catch up to this cool cat? With Shia Labeouf's Eagle Eye taking the top spot at the box-office this weekend it makes four-in-a-row for the actor (not counting the animated Surf's Up) and it made me wonder if the 22-year-old is our next big time actor or if it's just a case of him starring in the right film at the right time that has made his films so popular leaving the title of "The Next Big Thing" up for grabs. Let's face it, Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull were going to make big bucks no matter what, Shia had very little, if anything, to do with their success. One could make the argument that Disturbia opened during a very weak time in 2007 and that accounts for its three week box-office domination with rather modest numbers, winning that third weekend with barely over $9 million.

Nick Cassavetes is set to direct Keira Knightley in “The Beautiful and the Damned” for Film Department, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The film centers on Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald, two Jazz Age icons known for their extravagant lifestyle and turbulent marriage.

Says the trade, “Fitzgerald used their relationship as material for his novels, and Sayre -- who tried hard to find an artistic identity of her own and ended up being admitted to a sanitarium -- did the same.”

Cassavetes, whose credits include “The Notebook” and “Alpha Dog,” is directing a script by Hanna Weg.

Knightley can currently be seen in Saul Dibb’s period drama “The Duchess.” Future projects of hers include “King Lear” and “Last Night.”

Funny. Mischievous. Charming. Three words to describe the young and talented Anton Yelchin. I first saw him in David Duchovny's The House of D (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372334/), where he plays Duchovny's young character, Tommy. His scenes were mostly with Robin Williams and while the film is anything but comedy, he managed to bring so much into his character. - - - - - - Says the young actor: Before we started the film and during rehearsals, I'd ask David (Duchovny) if he liked what I was doing, and he'd say yeah. What was in the script was what I did, and he liked it, so we never discussed how much of it should be based on David. What he told me was he delivered meat, he lived in New York in '73, and grew up in the Village. But what I liked was that David telling
