News

1. Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) is in final talks to helm Paramount Pictures' drama "The Fighter," which reteams "The Departed" stars Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon. Based on the life of boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and his trainer brother Dick Eklund (Damon), the story chronicles their early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Mass., through Eklund's battle with drugs and Ward's eventual world championship in London.

2. Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear are teaming to star in DreamWorks' romantic comedy "Ghost Town." The story centers on a dentist who dies briefly during routine dental surgery and gains the ability to see dead people who ask him for help in contacting the living.

3. Ricky Gervais has announced that he and Stephen Merchant have decided to pass on the possibility of a third season of 'Extras'. They will instead get together, at some point, and pen a finale episode like they did for ‘The Office.’

4. Neil Young released 'Live at Massey Hall 1971' on March 13 of this year. It is an acoustic show that is brilliant, featuring most of his greatest hits.

I've listened to Live at Massey Hall. It is great! Neil Young is at the top of his game.
