Why Elizabeth Banks Tweets

“I accidentally got on Twitter because there was a fake Elizabeth Banks, twittering, and David Wain, who’s the director of Role Models and a good friend of mine, was staying at my house in L.A., twittering. I didn’t know anything about Twitter at the time, but he was following me, thinking it was me. And this person tweeted, ‘Hanging out by my pool! Just chilling on Saturday!’ And David Wain was actually hanging out by my pool, on Saturday, and I wasn’t there. I was in New York or something. And so he was like, ‘Huh, I don’t think you’re Elizabeth Banks.’ And this person broke down, and said, ‘No I’m not Elizabeth Banks. I started this because I’m a fan and now I have all these followers and I don’t know what to do.’ David called me and said, ‘Do you want me to broker the password away from this guy and get your identity back on Twitter?’ And he did! So, yeah: I got Twitter identity theft.” Now you know. [Esquire] [Photo: Getty Images]

Why 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Brings Hope to G.I. Joe Fans

It was 1982 and the first G.I. Joe action figure that I begged my parents to purchase for me came with the codename of Flash. From the file card that I cut out from the back of his package, I learned that Flash's real name is Anthony Gambello -- and this is how I referred to him until I realized that wasn't the way it worked with a G.I. Joe character. Flash, as it turns out, wasn't a very important Joe in either the '80s cartoon series or the excellent Larry Hama Marvel comic book series, but he was my introduction to this wonderful adventure storyline of my youth. A storyline that, post 'Star Wars,' would deliver me, in theory, to my teenage years when this kind of stuff wouldn't matter to me anymore. (That theory would prove false.) I am not alone in my love for the '80s G.I. Joe storyline, and this is why the abomination that is called 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' pisses all of us off so much. And this is also why the upcoming 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' gives us some semblance of hope. It wasn't just that the first movie wasn't good -- it didn't even try. Look, go ahead and trash the Michael Bay 'Transformers' movies all that you want, but it's not like Bay didn't put any effort into those films. Misdirected effort? Sure. But no matter what, Bay and Paramount were invested -- there was too much money on the line not to be. But why didn't G.I. Joe get the same kind of big-screen respect? The source material for a great movie was just sitting there in the first few issues of the comic book, but, instead, we were treated to a film that inexplicably began in 17th century France. Actually, when broken down to its core story, G.I. Joe is more relevant today than it was in the '80s. A story about a terrorist organization and a group of U.S. military personal that is assembled for the sole purpose of fighting said terrorist organization. In 1985, with the Cold War still very much real, this made absolutely no sense to me. I would lay awake at night trying to make heads or tails of the fictional scenario presented to me, "So Cobra is not even another country? It's a private organization determined to overthrow the world? And we are using our best troops for this? Not to fight the Soviets?" It's interesting that, today, for obvious reasons, this storyline seems a lot more relevant than it did 27 years ago. The animated G.I. Joe '80s television series was a godsend for us starved-for-entertainment children, just dropped off by the school bus with nothing to do in those harsh Midwestern winters. But it was also kind of a silly show. Both G.I. Joe and Cobra used laser guns, for some reason. And Cobras' most diabolical plans usually involved machines that could control the weather or some sort of mind control device. The comic book, however, was brilliant. Gone were the diabolical plans, replaced by a somewhat more realistic terror organization that used bullets and were headquartered in a town called Springfield long before The Simpsons were. And the Joes, for their part, lived in an underground bunker called The Pit that was nestled under Staten Island. As a child, I so wanted to visit Staten Island! (Note: I've lived in New York City for seven years and have been to Staten Island once.) This is why, to someone who is my age, 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' is trash. (It even somehow managed to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look terrible -- which is very difficult to do these days.) The characters used in the film were in name only -- most of the backstories were changed. One of the most interesting characters, Cobra Commander (Levitt), was an afterthought. Add in some explosions and the title "G.I. Joe" -- and there's your movie. It was apparent that after 'The Rise of Cobra''s somewhat financially successful release, either two things were going to happen: That was the last G.I. Joe movie we would ever see or we'd be treated to a just as awful sequel. Somehow it appears that neither will happen. Enter: 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' Honestly, I hope that the 'Retaliation' in the title means that this movie is retaliating against the first movie. The first sign this movie is being taken seriously is the screenwriting team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. This is the team who wrote the excellent 'Zombieland' and is currently working on the script for 'Deadpool' (another character that has to be saved from its prior big-screen appearance). Also, the second 'Joe' film won't have the budget that the first film had. This is a good thing! In other words: there will be less explosions and much more story. From all accounts, this second G.I. Joe film will disavow any knowledge of the first movie. Thank God. Also, the casting is intriguing: Gone are pretty much everyone from the first film except for Channing Tatum and two other guys who hid behind masks for most of the film (Ray Park and Lee Byung-hun playing ninjas Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, respectively), now replaced by The Rock -- who is already Tweeting photos of himself on set -- and, possibly, Bruce Willis. And let's not forget The Rza will play a martial arts master, meaning this sequel is wise enough to know that Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to "F" with. This could be the pulpy version that we fans have been clamoring for -- more reminiscent of our beloved comic book or television show. Look, it's hard to tell, but the early signs, especially on the screenwriting side, are optimistic. Jon Chu isn't really known for his ability to weave a gritty tale, but it would be difficult for him not to be an improvement over Stephen Sommers who directed the first installment. I promised that I wouldn't do this again: to be excited about the possibility of a good live-action G.I. Joe movie. At this point, I think all any fan of the G.I. Joe franchise can ask for is for an honest attempt to be made so that we can, finally, have the film that we deserve. (And maybe it will even include Flash?) (Images courtesy of Everett Collection.)

Revivals are alive on Broadway

The Canuck revival of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' is eyeing a Broadway run.Star Elena Roger will be one of the few familiar faces in Michael Grandage's overhauled 'Evita'; The Canuck revival of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' is eyeing a Broadway run.There's a revival on Broadway this season -- a revival of musical revivals. Whereas legiters last season spent the spring chattering about an avalanche of new tuners that included everything from "The Book of Mormon" to "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" to "Sister Act" to "Catch Me if You Can" -- and only two tuner revivals -- this season boasts a roster of returning musicals that already includes "Follies" in September, "Godspell" in November, "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" in December and "Porgy and Bess" in January. Plus, "Evita" and "Funny Girl" target spring -- and industry types keep buzzing about a Canuck staging of "Jesus Christ Superstar" as a potential addition to the lineup as well. Any producer will tell you it's always easier to sell a title that auds already recognize, especially when it's combined with a strong production and star casting. But as the offerings this season illustrate, producers and creatives must carefully balance a number of potential approaches, from bold reinvention to reverent remounting, in an effort to attract fans old and new. And in a crowded season, a production's timing and its angle on the material can help a show stand out. "It's a question of what else is on Broadway right now," says Michael Kaiser, prexy of the Kennedy Center, the D.C. producer and presenter bringing 1971 Stephen Sondheim musical "Follies" to the Main Stem. "And at the moment, there's not a lot that's competing for the 'Follies' audience, the audience with an appetite for serious, challenging musicals." Little can be read into the season-to-season vagaries of Broadway's timing, since so much of it is based on the scheduling logistics of individual productions, including talent commitments and theater availability. The latest incarnation of "Follies" opens Sept. 12 at the Marquis Theater after a spring run at the Kennedy Center. The show will likely prove among the more traditional revivals of the season, aiming to appeal to devoted Sondheim fans. The Eric Schaeffer-helmed staging comes to the Rialto with a hefty orchestra of 28, and a 41-person cast led by Bernadette Peters, Jan Maxwell and Elaine Paige. "Godspell" is next to bow in November. That one looks to incorporate old and new -- as lead producer Ken Davenport points out, he's joined above-the-title by Edgar Lansbury, who produced the original 1976 production. "Together Edgar and I will produce a new production of 'Godspell' for the next generation, while at the same time honoring the classic show." On the other hand, the upcoming stagings of "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" and "Porgy and Bess" will see more radical re-imaginings of their respective properties. The Harry Connick Jr.-toplined "On a Clear Day," for one, will feature what amounts to an entirely new book, telling a reconceived version of the story from helmer Michael Mayer and co-book writer Peter Parnell. Both creatives have used a free hand in crafting a narrative that nods to the reincarnation-themed setup of the 1965 original but also makes a number of changes. Plus, the original score by Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane has been augmented with tunes from another Lerner-Lane collaboration, "Royal Wedding," as well as songs written for the movie version. Such revisions required the approval of the Lerner estate, which aims to safeguard the composer's legacy. "It's been a long process, and an evolving relationship with the estate," says Mayer. (The tunesmith's daughter, Liza Lerner, has proven so enthusiastic about the project that she's signed on as a lead producer.) Since the original book of "On a Clear Day" is generally considered problematic, aud expectations were less of a concern. Besides, it's not a title in constant rotation, despite a 1970 movie version that starred Barbra Streisand. "Nobody knows the show, except for a handful of show queens and Streisand fanatics," Mayer says. "Porgy and Bess," the 1935 Gershwin classic that has in recent years become more of a staple in opera houses than theater venues, also is less well-known among legiters. The Broadway version, helmed by Diane Paulus and starring Audra McDonald and Norm Lewis, arrives in a more musical-theater-friendly adaptation from Suzan-Lori Parks and Diedre Murray. Here, too, the exact storyline of the original show isn't considered sacred. "People know the score, but not so much the particulars of the book," says producer Jeffrey Richards. "Evita" also opts for a fresh approach. First staged by helmer Michael Grandage in the West End in 2006, the revival concentrated on incorporating the flavor of Latin music, movement and culture to a much greater extent than was seen in the premiere of the Andrew Lloyd Webber tuner, which bowed in London in 1978 and opened on Broadway in 1979. The latest Rialto incarnation, to be toplined by Argentine thesp Elena Roger (whose breakout role was the 2006 London version of "Evita") and Ricky Martin, aims to push the Latin influence further -- while maintaining the touchstone moments people associate with the musical tale of Argentinian political lightning rod Eva Peron. "It's really a complete overhaul," Grandage says. "But we were very aware that we needed to take on some of the iconography of that original production, not least of which is the scene with Eva in the dress on the balcony." The revival of another Lloyd Webber tuner, "Jesus Christ Superstar," playing at Ontario's Stratford Shakespeare Festival also tries a fresh approach to the material, in this case aiming to reinvigorate the biblical tale with contempo flourishes. That show remains far from a definite addition to the New York season, but a fall move to California's La Jolla Playhouse could grease the wheels for a spring stint on Broadway. It'd be another revival to add to the pileup. For the moment, at least, the sked is active but not clumped. "The revivals are pretty well spread out," Richards says. "They're not opening all at once." And some producers maintain the flexibility to push back the timeline if necessary. Take "Funny Girl," which recently booked Lauren Ambrose in the title role immortalized by Streisand. That show's tryout at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theater runs Jan. 15-Feb. 26 -- plenty of time to make it into Gotham prior to the Tony eligibility cutoff in late April. Still, considering the revival-heavy sked, theater availability isn't guaranteed, so Boyett's willing to delay an opening until the summer or the fall if need be. "There are a lot of people vying for the musical houses," he says. Contact Gordon Cox at gordon.cox@variety.com

CBS Models Out Refurbished Cast Of Take advantage of Schneider Comedy Pilot

EXCLUSIVE: Diana Maria Riva and The spanish language actress Claudia Bassols are going to co-star opposite Take advantage of Schneider and Cheech Marin within the Schneider's untitled CBS comedy, that is shooting a brand new pilot for midseason consideration included in a current order which includes several backup scripts. The multi-camera comedy, which Schneider co-authored with Lew Morton in line with the actor's real-existence experience, stars Schneider as Take advantage of, a confirmed bachelor that has just married right into a tight-knit Mexican-American family. Bassols will have his wife Maggie and Riva his mother-in-law Rosa, roles performed within the original pilot by Nadine Velazquez and Ada Maris, correspondingly. Riva's age (she's more youthful than Schneider, who plays her boy-in-law, and way more youthful than Marin, who plays her husband) indicates a potential trophy wife scenario.

Stylish spaces tell their very own tales

For 'Mad Males,' Serta Bishop produced a chaotic new office, including 'pretty horrible' digs for John Slattery's Roger Sterling.TV series art direction is not just set building or location finding. The designer is really a visual stylist billed with interacting the show's thrust and styles towards the audiences -- right between your eyes.States "Mad Men's" Serta Bishop, "We production designers are trying to offer the drama some way, whether or not to convey character in order to convey the middle of some time and place." And actually all this year's Emmy nominees for art direction/single camera take their options poor an innovative team's shared vision. Richard Berg of "Modern Family" harks to his architecture background. "Le Corbusier's credo was 'A home is a piece of equipment for living.' As well as for me, a collection is really a machine for filming."The sitcom's machinery involves action bouncing among three family conditions observed in diffused background. "Being unsure of where you stand within the first five seconds might spoil the very first joke," Berg keeps, so each home has a predominant determining color: eco-friendly blue off-whitened with flashes of red-colored. "Unconsciously, audiences know where they have arrived."Visual shorthand signals the landings in "True Bloodstream" too, based on production designer Suzuki Ingerslev. "Every location is really a character. You have to transport your audience instantly into our planet,Inch a bayou gumbo of contempo and historic detail combined with miracle."My spaces look really realistic. You are able to connect with them, yet something fantastical happens there. It grounds the show. You say 'I've experienced places much like these, so wow, maybe vampires of the underworld and shape-shifters really could live in our midst.A "But a milieu is not simple to make tangible. She was thrilled to come across a geniune, unique octagonal in shape brick mansion in Natchez because the abode from the formidable vampire king of Mississippi (Denis O'Hare)."I went, my dear God, it shows grandeur, energy and influence. There is something foreboding about this. And it is never been shot before!"Francois Seguin wished to provide audiences of "The Borgias" an idea from the Italian Renaissance they'd never had before: "some thing theatrical, even operatic. It comes down to avarice, energy, money and sex -- very contemporary for the reason that, because we never change."His decor subtly shows character. The Borgias "really are a group of hide and go seek, therefore we place in many support beams, lots of vertical structures so that they could appear and vanish and cast lengthy shadows."In creating the Atlantic City boardwalk as "a location like nowhere else, the flagship" of "Boardwalk Empire," production designer Bob Shaw needed to stick to the dictum of protagonist Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi): "Never allow the truth get when it comes to a great story.""The initial Ritz Hotel where Nucky resided may be the only remaining period hotels, and it is an ordinary brick box. Authentic, however it certainly did not capture the sensation. Therefore we patterned our Ritz on other famous hotels which have mermaids swimming around them, along with a frieze of seashells on the top," Shaw states.Four seasons of "Mad Males" have segued in the complacent '50s in to the tumultuous '60s, however in doing this creator Matt Weiner required "both precision and restraint," states Bishop."Everything needs to be right, but he does not want us to make use of the iconographic period stuff. We haven't yet introduce a fluorescent color!"Paralleling the generational change, the principals have split from venerable agency Sterling Cooper. Their new digs are "a more compact, more chaotic space -- much more of a rabbit warren with individuals focusing on surface of one another along with a breakdown of a few of the old social conventions." What comes through is "some disintegration from the familiarity from the '50s."Configurations are designated stories, not only walls and bric-a-brac. Work of Roger Sterling (John Slattery) "is black and whitened, pretty horrible in the way. We made the decision his new wife had an relation to it, and perhaps he does not enjoy it greatly."Bishop betrays no approaching spoilers.
