Daily Roundup is FilmDrunk’s semi-daily link dump of stories not important enough to warrant their own posts.  Expect snideness and nose thumbing.

‘Medicine for Melancholy’ Trailer - (Playing at SXSW) Do black people really talk about being black this much?  Looks exhausting. 

‘Last Starfighter’ Gets a Sequel – In the original, a gamer gets recruited by aliens to use his skills to defend the galaxy.  In the sequel, I unhook my roommates X-Box and burn him for fuel because he’s a fucking waste of space.  I smell feel good movie of the year!  Oops, no, that’s burning flesh. 

Fox Options ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ – Meanwhile I followed George Lucas into the bathroom after a big clam dinner at the Wharf, where I filmed Diarrhea of a Hollywood Icon.  I’m trying to find a distributor but the buzz around town is that it lacks substance. 

‘Men at the Pru’ - Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant Are Writing a Movie.  Who smells awkward situations? 

Talk of a ‘Rome’ Movie – Nudity, debauchery, and graphic swordplay made for one of my favorite shows ever.  And Bruckheimer wasn’t involved so you didn’t have to worry about ghosts, curses, treasure, or talking animals. 

Harley Quinn in ‘The Dark Knight’ – Is Mandy from Hollyoaks playing Harley Quinn?!  I’m gonna say no, but only because I don’t know who the hell that chick is.  Looks friendly though (that’s her on the left).  Too bad every time I see a picture of a British chick I don’t recognize, I imagine her talking dirty to me in a horrible old cockney voice, “Oi, bugga me norks, guv’na.” 

Whoopi Accepts Apology – Oscars producer Gil Cates apologizes for not including Whoopi in a hosts montage and Whoopi accepts.  World breathes a collective yawn.  

‘Pride and Glory Bumped’ – The Colin Farrell/Edward Norton We Own the Night clone gets bumped from it’s March 14th release date until… ?  Director says he’ll withhold completion of his script for Warriors until it’s released.  What’s Warriors?  “He describes [it] as "Gladiator" set within a family of mixed martial arts fighters.”  Hmm, maybe try holding your breath next time.
