Word around here in Hollywood is that the new movie poster to the upcoming action thriller Repo Men (see trailer) is causing some confusion. In the poster, Forest Whitaker and Jude Law are shown front and center. Problem is Jude Law, with shaved head and scowled expression, looks so similar to Eminem that people looking at the poster in movie theaters actually think it is the 8 Mile star. We are not going to pass judgment on these people even though it clearly says “Jude Law” on the poster and from Universal’s perspective at least it grabs people’s attention.

Take a look though and see for yourself. Does Jude look like Eminem to you?

Those young’ns out there who don’t know what NBA Jam is are missing out. The classic 2-on-2 arcade game is back and better than ever as EA Sports has bought the rights to the game and plans to release it on the Wii. The plan is to make all the crazy dunks including the 360s, “on fire” dunks, triple flips, etc. executed through various crazy hand motions on your Wii controller.

Even better, since EA took over the franchise rights from Midway, plans are underway to include a heavy hip-hop inspired soundtrack and give it the EA Trax treatment. No word yet on release date but we can’t wait for this one. I dare anyone to stack up against my Shawn Kemp and Benoit Benjamin Sonics duo.

RZA was recently interviewed by The LA Times profiling his new career directing films and not Wu-Tang Clan members in the studio.He is currently prepping his directorial debut in Man With the Iron Fist with producing and directing partner Eli Roth (Hostel).

“RZA is such a creative fountain. The script is great, he’s got characters, jokes. What he does with lyrics, he does with dialogue and he’s done such a great mix: spaghetti western, kung fu, modern fighting infused with hip-hop and multiculture. He has this whole comic book universe figured out. I know he’s going to make a brilliant film,” stated Roth.

What’s even more interesting is that while RZA has been under the tutelage of Roth and Quentin Tarantino, another critically acclaimed director is giving his full support to RZA. John Woo, director of action flicks like Face Off and Wind Talkers has actually given RZA permission to remake Woo’s classic film Bullet in the Head.
