Hollywood stars Laurence Fishburne and John Malkovich have been considered as replacements for William Petersen in hit U.S. TV show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Petersen - one of the show's original cast members - is set to leave his post as crime investigator Gil Grisson midway through the current season, it was announced on Tuesday.

According to U.S. reports, Fishburne and Malkovich are both in competition to take on the role.

A spokesperson for the show tells the New York Post, "It's not the end of the show. There's a lot of good stuff coming up. We're looking for a high-profile person to come in (to replace Petersen) as a CSI."

I was not expecting greatness when I read the description for The Mutant Chronicles, a sci-fi movie in which Ron Perlman, Thomas Jane, and John Malkovich fight NecroMutants. I mean, it could be a silly enough experience that some laughs could come from it, but I hope nobody was really taking it seriously.

Then we saw some posters, which I think are meant to be serious, and some more concern crept in. "They do realize these guys are hunting NecroMutants, right?" was the question I asked myself.

And today, I saw a trailer for The Mutant Chronicles, and while the second half looks pretty standard, I have to see the first 30 seconds of this minute-long teaser is pretty compelling, and throughout the clip, I really like the dreary look of the future world director Simon Hunter has created.

We still don't have a U.S. release date for Chronicles as far as I know,

If you head over to Thomas Jane's official website, you can watch the first trailer for Simon Hunter's The Mutant Chronicles which also stars Ron Perlman, John Malkovich and Benno Furmann. 23rd century soldier Major Mitch Hunter (Jane) leads a fight against an army of underworld NecroMutants. Rea plays the former commander of Lieutenant Mitch Hunter (Jane), a 23rd century Marine who tries to save Earth by leading a band of soldiers against evil NecroMutants. Perlman portrays the leader of a religious sect who thinks he can destroy the mutants and save the planet, recruiting Hunter to join him.

There's something about the word "NecroMutant" that just denotes a certain amount of fun. Coincidentally, hearing the brand name "Necco Wafers" have the same effect on me.

You'll find plenty of NecroMutants in the upcoming futuristic sci-fi The Mutant Chronicles, in which Thomas Jane (The Punisher) tries to save the planet from the deadly scourge. The adventure co-stars Ron Perlman - and who would've thought "action guy" for Ron Perlman six or eight years ago? - and the unlikely tandem of John Malkovich and Devon Aoki, who, we should point out, will inherit part of the Benihana fortune someday. No foolin'.

We don't have a release date for The Mutant Chronicles in the U.S. just yet. We do know that it's coming out on December 11th in Russia, and we've got a couple of new Russian posters for The Mutant Chronicles to commemorate the occasion.

Candid revelations about the sexual prowess of stars like Sir Mick Jagger, Ewan McGregor, John Malkovich and Daniel Radcliffe will feature in new tell-all Hollywood Babylon: It's Back.

The book, which is slated for release next month, reveals who is rumoured to be Hollywood's most well-endowed leading man and exposes a number of alleged scandals involving the world's most legendary stars.

Authors Danforth Prince and Darwin Porter make outrageous claims in the expose, after tracking down those who came into contact with nude stars for their recollections.

One art student who encountered Sir Sean Connery when he posed for a nude portrait before his acting career took off, tells the authors she was stunned by the size of the star's manhood.

She says, "It was the biggest I've ever seen. It made me drop my charcoal pencil."

In another revelation in the book, the authors claim Marilyn Monroe ended a lesbian romance with actress Joan Crawford because "she had bad breath".

Actor Sean Penn has refuted reports he will be biased towards friend Clint Eastwood's film entry for the Palme D'Or award at this year's Cannes International Film Festival.

The Hollywood star is the 2008 jury president, and has come under fire from internet bloggers who believe he will use his powerful position to ensure Eastwood's film Changeling will come out on top.

Actor-turned-director Eastwood is competing for the prestigious Palme D'Or award at this month's (14-25May08) festival for the 1920s thriller - which stars Angelina Jolie, Amy Ryan and John Malkovich.

Rumours of Penn's alleged favouritism towards Eastwood stem from their time spent filming 2003's Mystic River - which won Penn an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004.

But Penn has angrily refuted the accusations, insisting the winning film will stand triumphant on its own merits - and not because the director has pals on the judging panel.

He says, "It is an emotional impossibility for people on this jury to favour films by friends of ours. But we will not be biased against, either.

"If Clint Eastwood has done a film worth awarding, we're going to f**k-well award it. It is not going to serve anyone to be a friend, or not to be a friend, or any member of the jury."

Penn adds, "This won't be a competition. Between us we will come to a consensus that some films that deserve it will get a leg-up and be shared with a wider audience."

The Palme D'Or judging panel will be headed up by Sean Penn, Natalie Portman and former Harry Potter director Alfonso Cuaron.

The Coen brothers' Burn After Reading has been selected to open this year's Venice Film Festival, festival organizers announced today (Monday). The selection would seem to assure the festival of some glittering stars walking its red carpet on opening night, August 27, since the movie's cast includes Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton -- not to mention Joel and Ethan Coen themselves, whose film No Country for Old Men won the best picture award at this year's Oscars (and they took home the best director award). The festival's official lineup is expected to be announced in July.

Actor-turned-director Clint Eastwood's latest movie Changeling is to compete for the prestigious Palme D'Or award at the Cannes International Film Festival.

The Hollywood star directs Angelina Jolie, Amy Ryan and John Malkovich in the 1920s thriller.

The Palme D'Or judging panel will be headed up by Sean Penn, Natalie Portman and former Harry Potter director Alfonso Cuaron.

The film festival will take place in the French resort from 14 to 25 May.
