Gandolfini scores new role in new HBO film
From waste management to hoops!
James Gandolfini will follow up his role as fictitious mobster Tony Soprano by playing real-life corporate sports scout Sonny Vaccaro in an HBO film.
The movie, called “ABCD Camp,” is a drama about the youth basketball camp established by Vaccaro, who's also known as the man who got Michael Jordan to sign the first million-dollar shoe deal at Nike.
HBO spokeswoman Angela Tarantino confirmed the project - first reported by Variety - is in development with HBO Films.
The Vaccarro film won't be Gandolfini's first return appearance on HBO after concluding his eight-year run on “The Sopranos.”
Clooney masterminds new true-story movie
George Clooney's production company is writing a script for a movie based on the true story of a CIA fake-identity expert who smuggled six Americans out of Iran while dozens of others were being held hostage there.
“Escape From Tehran” is in development but hasn't been approved for production, Stan Rosenfield, a spokesman for Smoke House productions, told The (Hagerstown) Herald-Mail for a story published Monday.
The trade journal Variety has reported that the script will be a “dramedy” - a humorous drama - and that Clooney could direct and star.
The script would be based on a Wired magazine article published in April about the rescue engineered by retired CIA agent Antonio Mendez of Knoxville. Mendez told The Herald-Mail he agreed to be interviewed by Wired in exchange for sharing movie rights with the magazine writer.
Garrett gets into trouble with paparazzi
Brad Garrett is the latest celebrity to tangle with photographers.
Garrett, who stars in the Fox sitcom “'Til Death,” is shown slapping away a camera in a video posted online Monday.
The camera belonged to a photographer working for TMZ.com, which posted the video, TMZ Managing Editor Harvey Levin said Monday.
The 47-year-old actor was leaving a restaurant Sunday night, according to TMZ, when he was surrounded by paparazzi. He's seen chatting amiably with them as he walks to his car, when one begins shouting insults.
He looks into the video camera of a TMZ photographer, says, “Excuse me,” and slaps the lens.
“What are you hitting me for?” the videographer shouts, adding he wasn't the one yelling at Garrett. “You hit my face with that,” he says as Garrett gets in his car to leave.
