"Curb" stars David as himself, a neurotic in a larger-than-life world. Co-starring Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin and Susie Essman, the series is set to begin filming this summer and is expected to air sometime in 2011.
David's sitcom is the longest running scripted series in the history of HBO. Oh, and that soul David said he was searching for? He claims "it was nowhere to be found."
As one pop culture figure returns, another prepares for his exit.
Leonard Nimoy, the 79-year-old actor-director-photographer and "Star Trek" icon is calling it quits. "I want to get off the stage. Also, I don't think it would be fair to Zachary Quinto," Nimoy told the Toronto Sun referring to the "Heroes" star who played Spock in the "Star Trek" reboot. "He's a terrific actor, he looks the part, and it's time to give him some space. And I'm very flattered the character will continue."
But does that mean no more Spock? Or no more Nimoy?
Nimoy, who confirmed that he has just shot (spoiler alert, "Fringe" fans) his final scenes as Dr. William Bell on Fox's "Fringe," says he's hanging it up.
"I've been doing this professionally for 60 years," he said. "I love the idea of going out on a positive note. I've had a great, great time."
Surely though we'll still see Nimoy on the convention trail though, right?
Probably not.
Nimoy says that he wants time to concentrate on his photography and with only a few more public appearances scheduled, he says this could be his "final go-round for that too."
Well, Leonard, I guess there's only one thing left to say: Live long ... and prosper. (Yeah, I went there. Deal with it.)
Anyone who saw Quentin Tarantino's "Grindhouse" in theaters will remember the awesome fake trailers that appeared before and between the double feature. Well some of those joke trailers are getting made into full-fledged films. One, director Robert Rodriguez's "Machete," already has a release date.
Starring Danny Trejo, the film centers around an "ex-Mexican Federale who after being betrayed by the organization who hired him, launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former boss."
If you've seen the YouTube trailer, you already know how crazy this movie actually looks. If you haven't, just take a look at the supporting cast, according to imdb.com: Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Jeff Fahey, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson and ... Robert De Niro.
"Machete" comes out Sept. 3.
But that film's not the only one getting the big screen treatment.
Nova Scotia director Jason Eisener is bringing his fake trailer, "Hobo with a Shotgun" to theaters as well.
Filming started this week and though we have no plot details or scheduled release date, we do know one thing. "Hobo with a Shotgun" stars... are you ready? Rutger Hauer.
