‘Untitled Armor Car (Loomis Fargo)’ starring Zach Galifianakis posted a casting call for stand-ins to appear in the movie.
The movie centers on the 1997 Loomis Fargo warehouse robbery that occurred in Charlotte, North Carolina where a night guard at an armored car company organizes one of the biggest bank heists in history.

Want to know what it’s like writing a multi-million dollar movie like, Transformers?
In an interview with Huffington Post, writer of three ‘Transformers‘ films including the latest ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction“, Ehren Kruger.
Ehren Kruger is a writer and producer, known for Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) and The Ring (2002).
In the interview he goes into detail on what the writer was imagining when he first sat down and began creating the latest movie.
That was something where once Michael decided he wanted to do the movie, he definitely didn’t want to follow another teenage protagonist. He felt he had captured lightning in a bottle with Shia LaBeouf [who starred in the first three films], and he wasn’t going to find another actor to provide that, male or female. You know, Michael has matured too over the course of this time. So when we talked about it vectoring into the franchise from a totally different human perspective, it was Michael who had the instinct early on to say that there was a father-daughter story to tell. Prior to that we had talked about themes of creation and origin stories on Earth and the notion of man-made Transformer technology. We didn’t have our human story at the beginning and Michael really sparked to that relationship. He was right to do so. Once he brought that up and we started talking, it became clear the film was going to have two protagonists, with Cade and Optimus both in sort of parental roles, defending their families. It gave it a spine.
The interview goes through a lot of plot development, or overstuffing the movie. But, overall it is a great interview for any actor, screenwriter, or ‘Transformers‘ enthusiast.

‘True Detective’ script leak reveals a major spoiler for season 2. All of those “True Detective” rumors might actually be true.
Details on the new season of HBO‘s hit crime series has been more difficult to discover than the location of the Yellow King, but this script leak could change everything.
TheWrap Reports that the first script for Season 2 has arrived, and it features a single male lead actor and male/female co-stars.
The rumors surrounding the new season of ‘True Detective’ included a cast featuring Brad Pitt to even Jessica Chastain.
Previously, Niz Pizzolatto announced that the new season would have three leads, however, the two missing leads could also be accounted for with the report of the “male/female co-stars.”
The first season featured Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, both executive producers in the HBO crime drama, and centered on two Louisiana Police detectives investigating a serial killer over 17 years.

‘Better Call Saul,’ the ‘Breaking Bad’ spinoff, is creating a way to bring back Walter White.
Producers plan on creating a flexible time line that allows for the return of Bryan Cranston.
The producers of “Better Call Saul” are figuring out a way to bring back the school teacher turned drug dealer played by Bryan Cranston.
Executive producer, Peter Gould says that the show will feature scenes that go back and forth between several decades, including a time period where Walter White cooked and sold crystal meth.
It was previously believed that the show will only take place during the 1980s and focus on Saul, the lawyer played by Bob Odenkirk who first appeared on “Breaking Bad.”
AMC
“One of the great things about having a time line which is flexible is that perhaps some of it takes place before ‘Breaking Bad,’ during ‘Breaking Bad,’ and after ‘Breaking Bad‘. That gives us the ability to bring back characters that were killed on ‘Breaking Bad,’ ” he says.
The producers of the show admit that they feel a large amount of pressure to produce another hit show.
“We want to make a show that stands on it own, is its own story and is a brand extension,” he said.
“We think we have a story that is worth making. … We could never dream of the kind of success that ‘Breaking Bad’ had and the love we got from the fans. But (with ‘Saul’) at a certain point you have to do the best job you can and tell the best story that entertains you, get a good response and hope people like it.”
Peter Gould admits that it is a sign of relief that AMC bosses have ordered a second season of the show, before the first one even airs next year. He says, it allows him time to develop his characters.
“It’s tremendous for us because we get to plot out two seasons. And the way we work is similar to ‘Breaking Bad’ as it is very serialized and each episode builds on the last. And that gives us a much bigger canvas to play with,” he said.

Lifetime’s Aaliyah Biopic ‘on hold’ after the lead actress, Zendaya Coleman leaves the movie.
The Lifetime movie, “Aaliyah:Princess of R&B’, was set to start filming this summer with a release date for this Fall. But, a rep for Lifetime announced that Zendaya will not play Aaliyah in the movie.
“We are sad Zendaya will no longer portray Aaliyah. Production is currently on hold,” Lifetime wrote in a statement posted on its Twitter account on Sunday. A network rep did not comment further.
Zendaya Coleman was cast as the lead role in the upcoming movie. The singer/actress was to record four of the songs that would have appeared in the movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie was titled Aaliyah: Princess of R&B, was to begin filming over the summer with a fall premiere date. The script was based on the book Aaliyah: More than a Woman, by Christopher Farley.
After the movie was announced the family of Aaliyah fought against the making of the movie.
Lifetime “didn’t reach out,” Aaliyah’s cousin Jomo Hankersontold The New York Daily News in a June 24 story. He added that the family was seeing a lawyer about rights issues.
“We want a major studio release along the lines of ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It,’ the Tina Turner movie,” Hankerson explained to the paper.
With Zendaya backing out, it looks as though the Aaliyah family is getting what they want.

Singer, Erykah Badu crashes a live broadcast in New York City
Mario Diaz, from New York’s PIX11, was reporting on Shia LaBeouf when singer Erykah Badu, wearing an awkwardly large hat, walks by and she tries to crash the live broadcast and give Diaz a kiss.
Badu later apologized to Diaz on Twitter, but she did not explain why she decided to play a prank on him.
Mario Diaz replied to her with lyrics from Prince’s “Kiss.”
Diaz’s wife and two-year-old were there with him when Badu tried to get a smooch. His wife does not care/is amused.
@fatbellybella#Btw my wife and 2-year-old were 20 yards away when it happened… She saw the roll up, you putting on hat & everything.
This is not the first time this happened to Diaz, according to Pix11:
In 1993, while announcing the second title fight between heavyweights Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a paraglider crashed a few feet away from Diaz’s broadcast position.
A few years later, Diaz was photobombed by Tiger Woods while doing a report prior to his first professional victory.
