News Round-up 18 August 2012

Not much going on this week:

- A novel on Nicolas Sarkozy. 

- Should Ben Affleck be Daredevil again? A DC Universe film? Would he direct it? Too many questions!!

- Ex-prostitute and now fashion designer is causing a little bit of a stir in France.

- The US turning into some Minority Report world lookalike? Scary story.

- Peeing on a plane, assaulting people? Gerard Depardieu is not rock'n'roll.

- James Franco wants to make a film on Lindsay Lohan. Huh?

- Funny Stuart Heritage on the new Ben Stiller film: The Watch. 

- Jeremy Renner, currently in The Bourne Legacy, seems like a nice guy.

- I had no idea Iron Man 3 was currently filming, so imagine my surprise when I read that the filming was suspended.

- A couple of articles on the (hopefully no a) fad on young female leads. At the Guardian and on BBC. 

As I couldn't find a funny film-related picture, here is a picture of an otter.
