Upcoming film “I Love you Phillip Morris” stars Jim Carrey (as ‘Steven Russell’) a married conman who falls in love with ‘Phillip Morris’ (played by Ewan McGregor) in a Texas prison after escaping four times, including once faking his own death.

The film is based on a true story and was written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the duo responsible for the screenplay for “Bad Santa.”

Essentially, the film is about an ex-convict named ‘Jensen Ames’ (played by Jason Statham) who is forced by the warden of a notorious prison (played by Joan Allen) to compete in a post-industrialist sport of car racing in which inmates must brutalize and murder one another on the road to victory. Tyrese Gibson and the venerable Max Ryan help round out the cast of characters of the Paul W.S. Anderson directed film.

The film was financed by Relativity and put together in part by Tom Cruise and former business partner Paula Wagner.

Jake Gyllenhaal and girlfriend Reese Witherspoon take a stroll as the buffed-up Gyllenhall takes a break while filming “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.”

The film, set to release on May 28, 2010 from Disney is directed by Mike Newell (”Donnie Brasco“) and its based on the video game, which follows an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.

Gyllenhaal stars as ‘Prince Dastan’ along with “Quantum of Solace” star Gemma Arterton, Sir Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina.

Was reading an interesting article in The Jewish Daily Forward (doesn’t ever Jew subscribe to this amazing publication?) written by former Israeli Mossad (spy agency) official Yossi Alpher who is now a co-editor of the political blog Bitterlemons.org - and Alpher was describing how he and his Palestinian co-editor were duped into an interview with a German rock-star concerning the middle east.

After noticing the flamboyant gay man was asking ridiculous questions and confusing terror organization Hamas and the middle-eastern chick-pea dip of hummus for one another, he and his colleague grew suspicious.

Apparently the interview took place in Jerusalem, therefore we can deduce that the upcoming Sacha Baron Cohen vehicle for his gay German character ’Bruno‘ (to be released by Universal on May 15, 2009) will not be limited to just the United States and will span the globe.
