Peak Dope for Thursday -- Heavy on the Movie News!

The Old Guard Go to Hollywood’s Hot Night Spot
Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty
went out for a night on the town in L.A. hitting hotspot Hyde – it’s where all the young things go before rehab.

Is Life Still a Box of Chocolates?
Word is Forrest Gump 2 is about to happen, or at least the film’s producers want it to happen quickly. The sequel will cover Gump during the 1980s and 1990s and there’s no news on whether Tom Hanks will be back for seconds. He’s busy doing voice now for Toy Story 3, after all. (See story below). There is possibly no one else who could ever play Gump, so if Hanks signs on, you know it will be for huge money. More money than Peakerman’s got, that’s for sure.

He Never Let Mia Farrow in his Club!
Henry Kissinger is workin’ the deal to get Angelina Jolie into the Council on Foreign Relations. Kissinger even admitted to a roomful of Columbia School of Journalism grad students that this will be his only chance to meet the globe-trotting baby-adopter. Jolie probably deserves the honor, at least more than past-member Michael Douglas. She’s served as a UN Goodwill Ambassador and fights for the rights of refugees, AIDS patients, and those affected by natural disasters.

Toy Story 3 Set for 2010 Release
Not only that, but Disney is also working on its first hand-drawn animation production in ages, The Frog Princess. The screenplay for Toy Story 3 proves Oscar awards help your career because the guy who won Best Original Screenplay for Little Miss Sunshine is writing Toy Story 3.


Johnny Depp: Dad First, Actor Second
Johnny Depp can only be found at his daughter’s bedside right now. Seven-year-old Lily Rose is said to be in serious condition, although what she ails from has not been revealed. This means Depp doesn’t care about the movie in England he was about to film, Sweeney Todd. Meanwhile, overzealous bloggers are already predicting Depp will win an Oscar next year for his role as Todd – and he hasn’t even done any work yet!

Not the Greatest 200 Albums of All Time
CNN.com’s entertainment producer Todd Leopold makes some very good points on why a “definitive” Top 200 list isn’t actually so definitive. You know the list is wrong if Shania Twain sits on it at #21! Leopold wisely recommends much better lists for you to check out. If that still leaves you with doubts, relax and just listen to the Peak because it’s always good.
