Jamie FoxxYou have to admit, ever since the success of "Django Unchained," Jamie Foxx is on a roll.

Just days after photos of Foxx in his Electro costume from the set of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" surfaced, news that the 45-year-old actor is in negotiations to play Daddy Warbucks in an "Annie" remake has also emerged. He is also starring in "White House Down," opening on June 28.

"Annie," produced by Will Smith and Jay-Z, is set to star youngest-ever best actress Oscar nominee Quvenzhane Wallis as the little orphan Annie.

Will Gluck ("Friends with Benefits," "Easy A") is directing, and has just revised the script, written by Emma Thompson and Aline Brosh McKenna, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The plot and character details of "Star Trek Into Darkness" have been shrouded in typical Bad Robot secrecy since the film's inception, though no question regarding the sequel has been more maddening than as to the true identity and nature of its chief bad guy, played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Can't get enough of advance looks at "Fast and Furious 6"? How about one last trailer for the road?

We're less than a month away from the release of the sixth installment of the high-speed "Fast & Furious" franchise, which somewhat unfortunately doesn't have a cool abbreviated title like 2011's "Fast Five." In anticipation of the final countdown to the film hitting theaters -- and to accompany the recent availability of advance ticket sales -- Universal has given us one final action-packed look at director Justin Lin's epic tale of "vehicular warfare."

Think again.

Wahlberg's "Pain & Gain" co-star Dwayne Johnson aka the Rock confirmed he was Bay's first choice over Twitter when he answered a fan question:

Rocky Balboa's got heart and he can fight. But can he sing? Sylvester Stallone is betting American theatergoers will pay to find out.

Stallone, who wrote and starred in the original "Rocky" movie in 1976, brought the story of Philadelphia's favorite underdog to the stage last fall with a musical adaptation that opened in Hamburg, Germany. Now Stallone, in partnership with Bill Taylor of Stage Entertainment USA, is producing a Broadway version of the "Rocky" musical, which will open at the Winter Garden Theater in February 2014.
