LA Times: If you think the long build-up to this week's release of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," has been intense, try putting yourself in J.J. Abrams' shoes for a moment.
Abrams has loved the "Star Wars" universe from the beginning, since first seeing "A New Hope" in 1977 at age 11 (he would later use the name of that theater, Avco, as the code word for filming "The Force Awakens" in Abu Dhabi). He played with the Kenner toys. He dressed up as a Jawa for Halloween. His fan cred is unquestionable.
Imagine the charisma. The eyebrow raises. The undeniable presence… all in the form of a smooth, inanimate stone sitting on your desk. That’s right—Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but as an actual pet rock.
Fans are practically begging Jim Carrey to dust off his Hawaiian shirt and talk out of his backside one more time in Ace Ventura 3!
TNS: In a new interview, Corey Feldman has opened up about losing a role on What's Eating Gilbert Grape, which he attributes to Johnny Depp.
