In light of Damon's recent controversial comments, Page reminds him that straight actors are not held to similar standards.

Who doesn’t love a good post-apocalyptic flick, especially one that pits the one-percenters against the rest of us (1927’s Metropolis)? That said, we can’t freaking wait for the Jodie Foster/Matt Damon starrer Elysium, out in theaters this August. For now, you can watch the new extended trailer.

I love a good post-apocalyptic flick, especially one that pits the one-percent against the rest of us (see 1927’s Metropolis), which is why I can’t freaking wait for the Jodie Foster/Matt Damon starrer Elysium, out in theaters this August. But for now, Sony/Tristar pictures has just released the trailer.

Who doesn’t love a good post-apocalyptic flick, especially one that pits the one-percenters against the rest of us (1927’s Metropolis anyone)? With that said, we are so freaking excited that the Jodie Foster/Matt Damon starrer Elysium is out today! Double Oscar winner – and giver of sublime coming out speeches at the Golden Globes -- Jodie plays the mayor of Elysium, a villainous one-percenter who struts around her gilded space island in pristine white suits and Suze Orman-esque hair.

We will be seeing more of Jodie Foster over the next couple of years, and that’s almost always a good thing, since she’s an actress who generally chooses her roles carefully. The two-time Oscar winner has just signed on to star in Elysium, a sci-fi follow up to Neill Blomkamp’s acclaimed Disctrict 9, according to Deadline.  Matt Damon is also slated to star in the film, which is looking like it will get a 2013 release. There’s no word on the plot just yet. Also, Foster has signed on to star in Roman Polanski’s celluloid incarnation of Yasmina Reza’s Tony-winning drama God of Carnage, which costars Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly.

Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to star in the upcoming biopic of former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, according to Entertainment Weekly. Two Oscar winners are set to helm the piece.  Clint Eastwood is set to direct while screenwriter Dustin Lance Black has signed on to pen the script.  Black won his Academy Award for Milk, the biopic about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to serve in public office in California.

The Informant star and lesbian film darling Melanie Lynskey recently said that thinking about her Heavenly Creatures' costar Kate Winslet's uber-success makes her cry. Lynskey became a darling of lesbian cinema playing in But I'm a Cheerleader, the short The Nearly Unadventurous Life of Zoe Cadwaulder, Itty Bitty Titty Committee and on television in The L Word as a possible paramour for Leisha Hailey's Alice.

Finally, Hollywood is adapting Patricia Highsmith’s pre-Lolita 1952 lesbian road trip novel The Price of Saltinto a film. And the amazing news is that it will star Oscar winner Cate Blanchett as Carol the older, wealthy married woman who falls in love with a young woman who aspires to be a theater set designer but who works in a department store. Mia Wasikowska, star of Albert Nobbs, The Kids are All Right’sandJane Eyre, will play Therese, the younger woman.

It’s The Real L Word season again and in lieu of traditional recaps about those kooky lesbians of Weho and Brooklyn SheWired has opted to do a weekly list of superlatives not unlike those random, meaningless and totally out of context that were once the mainstay of high school popularity contests. You know, “Best Hair,” “Best Smile,” “Most Likely to insert verb here.”

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Rooney Mara will play the role of Therese, a young woman who falls for Cate Blanchett's older woman Carol in the '50s-era lesbian potboiler.
