Oh, it gets better. Read on for the rest of the story that involves Brittany Murphy being fired from her latest movie role.

I'll be spending most of the weekend at the movies (I hope). Posting may be light unless I am unusually speedy in the digestion of these big movie meals... which would be a first. I wish there were four of me every December (one to enjoy the holidays, one to earn money, one to see all the movies I missed and all the movies Hollywood withheld simultaneously and one to write about all of that.) Herewith some links to keep you buzzy.

Dolph Lundren appointed ambassador to Marbella because he's famous and lives there
4 December 2009 7:03 AM, PST | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »
Somehow we missed this news: Dolph Lundgren is now the official ambassador for Marbella.
We know what you're thinking. A) Dolph who? B) Why? And C) Where's Marbella?
Marbella is a beach resort city in Andalusia in Spain.
And Dolph is infamous for his role as Russian boxer Ivan Drago in Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky IV." And for uttering the immortal line, "I win for me. Me!"
Oh, and he also used to date Sylvester Stallone's former Viking Woman girlfriend, Brigette Nielsen.
Which is ironic since he's starring in the new mercenary movie, "The Expendables" again with Stallone, as well as Steve Austin, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eric Roberts, Bruce Willis, and Brittany Murphy. Read about the production .
And watch the trailer above. The film is due out in August 2010. Dolph appears towards the end. Honest.
Dolph's also reportedly in talks with the producers of "Conan" about a role in the remake. »

Sylvester Stallone's upcoming action flick "The Expendables" promises movie goers that it's going to be packed with balls-to-wall mayhem and why wouldn't it be?

All that we know about the film so far is that a team of mercenaries head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator. To overthrow a dictator? Now that just sounds like there's gonna be endless ass kicking! Needless to say, I can't wait for the film to hit theaters. Read on to check out a few character posters from the film.

Murphy's Rep: 'She Was Not Fired'
1 December 2009 8:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Brittany Murphy's spokesperson has hit back at reports the actress was fired from upcoming movie The Caller - insisting she left the project due to "creative differences".
Twilight actress Rachelle Lefevre recently stepped in for Murphy, sparking rumours the Clueless star had been thrown off the set in Puerto Rico for being difficult.
Local reports suggested Murphy intended to sabotage the film and that her husband, Simon Monjack, who was reportedly hospitalised on Saturday, was fighting with locals.
However, Murphy's representative insists the actress has made an amicable agreement to part ways from the project.
Her spokesperson says, “The allegations currently circulating on the internet about Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack read like a fictional plot from one of the 50 plus movies Ms. Murphy has successfully completed without incident.
“She was not nor has she ever been fired from any job big or small. Mr. Monjack did not engage in any alleged scuffles. Though due to creative differences Ms. Murphy and the production mutually parted ways.
“As far as wanting to allegedly 'sabotage this project', to the contrary Ms. Murphy wished this production nothing but the best. Puerto Rico gave Ms. Murphy a brief insight into its wonderful culture and warm people. Ms. Murphy would like to take this opportunity to thank the public for their continued support." »

DVD Releases: Dec. 1, 2009: Wield a Knife of Ice by the Deadline Set by the Little Red Devil
30 November 2009 6:16 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
A new month; a new batch of DVDs and Blu-rays to consider. We've used the phrase "mixed bag" a few times before this year, but never has it been more apropos than with regard to those discs that are being released on December 1st, 2009!
A new Evil Dead is on its way -- not that anyone can figure out why. Gremlins is hitting Blu-ray as is the new Terminator flick. And the Brittany Murphy-starrer Deadline, which is better than it has any business being, drops along with a few other indies like Deader Country, Poker Run, and Sins of the Father.
Little Red Devil with Daniel Baldwin and Dee Wallace definitely sounds intriguing, but for my money, the hand's down pick of the week is 1972's Knife of Ice, a rare Italian giallo from Umberto Lenzi starring the gorgeous and glamorous Carroll Baker.
Happy shopping!

A stripped-down neo-noir with a twist, this feature debut for filmmaker Alex Merkin began as a 2005 short (starring Adrian Grenier, which can be found online here). Grenier didn't return, but Mike Vogel takes his place as Julian, a young man who races to a seedy hotel where his best friend's wayward fiancée (Brittany Murphy) and another man have aroused the suspicions of his pal, who's holed up "across the hall" with a bottle of whiskey and a gun.

Five Minutes from the Opening Scene of Deadline

Unfortunately no limited release is forthcoming for Deadline, a horror film from First Look Studios, but a DVD/Blu-Ray release is set for December 1, 2009. Brittany Murphy from 8 Mile and Thora Birch are the main stars with Tammy Blanchard supporting. Mysterious and haunting a full five minute clip is now available for fans to enjoy until the film is available for purchase. Have a look at the first five minutes, in the dark, and decide for yourself whether Deadline is as scary as being possessed by William Castle's spirit (Rosemary's Baby).
A synopsis for Deadline:

'True Blood' Star Stephen Moyer, Brittany Murphy And Luis Guzman Answer 'The Caller'
19 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The vampires of "Twilight" aren't the only bloodsuckers making the rounds this week. "True Blood" star Stephen Moyer is earning a name for himself on the big screen as well, first with "Priest" — an adaptation of the TokyoPop manga series — and now with a thriller called "The Caller."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moyer is joining the film alongside Brittany Murphy and Luis Guzman, making for one of the strangest casting round-ups that I can think of in recent memory. "The Caller" is directed by Mathew Parkhill and written by Sergio Casci.
Bloody Disgusting has a rundown on the film's plot, which focuses on a woman named Mary Kee. She starts receiving mysterious phone calls on her old antique phone from an unknown caller named Rose, and her fears are only heightened when she learns that Rose is reaching out to her from the past. When Mary threatens to end contact with Rose, »

Brittany Murphy Gets a Call From the Past. The Deadly Past!
19 November 2009 8:52 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Former “8 Mile” star Brittany Murphy has been cast as the female lead in Matthew Parkhill’s horror/thriller “The Caller”, the premise of which sounds a tad sci-fi to me, or at least, a little “Twilight Zone”-ish. She joins a cast that already includes “True Blood” star Stephen Moyer and Luiz Guzman. The film sees Murphy playing a troubled divorcee named Mary Kee, who begins receiving strange telephone calls from a mystery caller that she soon realizes is calling her from the past. This, apparently, leads Mary to believe that she must kill the caller in order to save herself. I haven’t a clue what that means, but I suspect that isn’t the film’s big twist, since, well, it’s already been revealed, hasn’t it? »

Exclusive: First Five Minutes of ‘Deadline,’ Starring Brittany Murphy
19 November 2009 7:30 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Following a traumatic incident with her violent ex-boyfriend, Alice (Brittany Murphy) retreats to a remote Victorian house to convalesce and focus on finishing her screenplay in time for a fast approaching deadline. When she begins hearing strange sounds and seeing apparitions, Alice searches for the source, only to find disturbing videotapes in the attic. Fascinated by her discovery, Alice digs deeper to uncover the mysterious story of the couple (Thora Birch and Marc Blucas) on the tapes, sending her on a twisting and terrifying pursuit to find out what is behind the endless mind games. Yep, that's exactly what we need more of -- an attractive, traumatized girl in a big, spooky, empty Victorian home all by herself, investigating some sort of tragedy while she avoids her own personal dangers. It's nothing new, but for some reason it always seems to be a bit creepy. That is why we were excited when First Look Studios sent us »
