“Yessir, I got the I’m-gone-rape-a-white-girl bluuues…”
No word on how he plans to squeeze it in between his nine Marvel movies, but Sam Jackson has signed on for the awesomely titled Rape: A Love Story (which sounds funnier if you read it without the colon). Settle down, pervs, it’s a Joyce Carol Oates novel. But who will play the rapee? Go ahead, I’ll give you one guess…
“The movie will tell the story of Teena MacGuire (Maria Bello), a young mother who is brutally gang-raped and left for dead, in an attack witnessed by her 12 year-old daughter (Abigail Breslin). Jackson will play a cop who, appalled by Teena’s plight and a legal miscarriage of justice, takes the law into his own hands in an attempt to punish her attackers.” [Empire]
“They told me it was going to be tasteful,” MacGuire moaned.
Maria Bello is my favorite kind of actress, always willing to bare a breast, flash some kitty, or even wave around a labe or two “if the scene demands it” (if there’s a Sigur Ros song in the background). In fact, one time I took her to my niece’s swim meet and she just stood in the corner smoking cigarettes and growling, “Do I get to show my pussy now?”
Oh right. Anyway, this is the slightly NSFW trailer for Downloading Nancy. I’m not sure what it’s about. What do I look like, Google?

After the jump is the new trailer for the next movie in the Mummy series, titled The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. That title sounds like they used mad libs to write it, but okay. I guess it’s better than Terminator: The Return of the Terminator.
In the film Brendan Fraser is back as explorer Rick O’Connell and he’s battling the necromanced corpse of a Han Emperor (played by the usually-awesome Jet Li). It’s directed by The Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen. They’ve substituted our usual Rachel Weisz with Maria Bello. Let’s see if anyone notices. - RoboPanda
