The Change-Up

The Change-Up is an upcoming role-reversal comedy about two friends, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) whose bodies get switched from wishing for each others lives while peeing into a wishing fountain.

Directed by veteran comedy filmmaker David Dobkin of Clay Pigeons, Shanghai Knights, Wedding Crashers and Fred Claus, The Change-Up is an R-rated comedy in a Freaky Friday-ish way that shows the complications of an uncalled wish.

Who says men can't change?

Written by Jon Lucas & Scott Moore, the writers of The Hangover, The Change-Up is another comedy that shows how two men (Mitch & Dave ) change when their lives interchange with time not on their side. Its about the struggle that Mitch and Dave go through to avoid themselves from completely destroying each others lives before they can find a way to get their old ones back.


With Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman, Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde and Alan Arkin in the cast, The Change-Up would premiere in theatres on 5th of August.


Fake CGI nipples in The Change-Up: Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde recently dished that she got the fun task of picking her nipples for her romantic comedy, The Change-Up.

Actresses certainly get to make some important skin-related decisions when making movies. Mila Kunis admitted that she got to choose her butt double for Friends with Benefits, but her nude scene tweaking wasn't nearly as weird as Olivia's.

Movie magic has certainly come a long way. Wilde was wearing flesh-colored pasties on her nipples to preserve her modesty while filming a nude scene with Ryan Reynolds for their movie The Change-Up, but when the film was being reviewed later, the pasties were visible. Once upon a time such an issue might have led to an expensive reshoot, but not today - instead a little CGI magic was used to create fake nipples for Olivia Wilde's nude scene.



The actress said of the quick fix: "I wasn't actually naked but now I appear to be naked because... in that scene Ryan Reynolds is supposed to be covering them (with his body) and he moved and so the pasties were in the movie and so they had to paint in nipples using CGI. And I got to approve the nipples! They sent me an email saying, 'Please review nipple cover shot one through seven and decide which one is most like the original.' I don't know what he (producer) was using as source material... but I think it's pretty close."

This is really a great time actresses live in - they can now do nude scenes without actually doing nude scenes, and they can use CGI to make their naughty bits look extremely close to the real deal. However, this could turn out to be a terrible thing for normal women -- if actresses like Olivia Wilde start using CGI to enhance their bodies in movies, they'll help to create a level of perfection that's impossible to achieve, and women will continue to compare themselves to the digitally improved stars.

So what do you think - is CGI nudity a good or bad thing?

Olivia Wilde on going n#de in her upcoming films

Olivia Wilde bares a little more than just her soul in not one but two upcoming movies.

The actress reveals her backside in the Cowboys & Aliens, opposite Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, and in The Change-Up, which stars Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman.

“There’s a little nudity in this one," said Wilde, adding, “I feel like if I feel really safe and if I feel like the story calls for it, then I’m not so shy.”

But in Change-Up, Wilde said she didn't even realize her rear end was being shown until people who had seen the movie started asking her about it.

“With The Change-Up I didn’t really realize that’s what was happening, as if I didn’t really know where the camera was," she said. "So then people saw the movie and they’re like, ‘You know your butt’s in the movie?’ and I was like, ‘What?’ I had no idea! But you know, I think when you agree to do a movie, like that you have to go 100 percent for it.”

Olivia Wilde, who appeared as 13 in the TV series House and as Quorra in last year's Tron: Legacy is seen going bare in two of her upcomings: Cowboys & Aliens, a genre-defying mashup of a Western and space-invasion movie directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man), opens this Friday and Change-Up, a body-switching comedy from David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers), opens Aug. 5.


Scarlett dating Justin Bartha

Has Scarlett found comfort in the arms of another man after her split from Sean Penn?

Scarlett Johansson is rumored to be in a relationship with Justin Bartha, an actor from The Hangover movie. He is also Ashley Olsen’s ex, with whom he broke up this past winter.

This weekend, Johansson attended the premiere of the play All New People in which Bartha stars. The piece is written by Zach Braff and it was presented on Broadway in New York.

The actress then went backstage to congratulate the actors and even dined with them.

According to a witness cited by the New York Post, Scarlett and Justin were inseparable and spent much of the night “completely engrossed in each other.”

“They seemed pretty fascinated with each other and only talked to each other,” the source continues. “It looked sometimes flirty, but also they seemed to be involved in a deep discussion.”

However, a source close to the 26-year-old actress claims the rumors are false: “The truth of the matter is they are just friends.”

Recently, Scarlett’s ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds –was also romantically linked to Charlize Theron.

Johansson-Ryan Reynolds divorced finally

Actress Scarlett Johansson's divorce from Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds has been legally finalised, which officially ended their two years of marriage.

Johansson, 26, and Reynolds, 34, started dating in 2007, before announcing their engagement in 2008. They married in a small ceremony in Canada in September the same year. The couple then moved into a $2.8 million mansion in Hollywood Hills, California.

However, they split in November 2010.

According to documents filed in court, the couple had no prenuptial agreement. Hence the assets each of them accrued during their marriage will be split evenly, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it. I'm not out of it yet. At all. But I sense that as I do come through it, there's optimism. How can there not be?' I don't think I want to get married again. But you always re-evaluate these things," Reynolds spoke about the separation last month.

Divorce Finalized..

The Green Lantern and The Black Widow, or at least the actors who play them on the big screen, are officially single again.

Court records show a judge finalized the divorce of Actors Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson on Friday in Los Angeles.

Reynolds who appeared in the recent film adaptation of the DC comic "The Green Lantern," filed for divorce in December. The filing came shortly after the couple, which kept their courtship and nuptials private, announced they had split.

The final divorce judgment filed Friday did not say how the pair would divide their assets.

Johansson portrayed The Black Widow in "Iron Man 2" and would reprise the same in the upcoming "Avengers" film.

Sex Symbol!

Actress Scarlett Johansson is seen as a young liberal woman and she admits being comfortable with her image.

"I feel comfortable as a young woman - a young, modern, liberal person. I feel comfortable with my sexuality."

The 26-year-old actress recently ended her relationship with Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn, which began just months after she filed for divorce from her husband for two years, Ryan Reynolds.

"However, I am protective of my private life. I don't think that my life is public just because I'm in the public eye. I am an actor. But you can't take things too seriously," she said.

Scarlett-Sean head to splitsville

The pair sparked speculation their romance was in trouble when the actress failed to attend the Cannes film festival in France last month with Sean for his film Tree of Life.

Instead, she was said to be concentrating on her new film The Avengers in New Mexico, where she is reprising her role of Black Widow from Iron Man 2.

Scarlett, 26, and Sean, 50, started dating in February, shortly after the Lost in Translation star split from husband Ryan Reynolds, and in April sources suggested they were already moving in together.

An insider said the actress had "essentially moved in over the last few weeks," to the 'Milk' actor's $3.8 million Malibu home.Scarlett initially struck up a friendship with Sean - who divorced wife Robin Wright in 2010 after 13 years together - when she was considering flying to Haiti to help people affected by the two earthquakes in January 2010.

Although Scarlett wasn't able to make the trip, the couple started dating and made their first public appearance together at the wedding of Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth in March.They were then spotted at a number of public engagements together, including a White House Correspondents' Dinner party in Washington D.C. in April.

Ryan Reynolds cant cope with his divorce

The hot star has admitted that filing for legal separation from the actress -whom he was married to for two years - in December has caused him "a lot of pain" which he is still trying to "come out" of.

He explained: "Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain but you come out of it. I'm not out of it yet. At all."

However, the 34-year-old star says he was lucky to have the "luxury" of parting with Scarlett - who is now dating actor Sean Penn - on good terms.

He said: "Departing a relationship and still maintaining the idea that this is still the same person I married is a great luxury that I experienced. Thankfully I was in a relationship where two people chose to remain on the high road in every regard."

Now Ryan is trying to remain positive and although he thinks he won't get married again, he knows he may change his mind in the future.

He told Details magazine: "I don't think I want to get married again, but you always reevaluate these things. Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up. I gotta say, I'm a different person than I was six months ago."

Whether he does meet another potential wife in the future or not, Ryan says he is remaining single for now because he finds the idea of being with someone else "alien".
He said: "I have no interest in dating right now. It just seems so kind of alien to me at this point. I've been in relationships pretty much since high school.

"I'm very happy not to be in a relationship right now. That's okay. I didn't plan on it, that's for sure ... but that's okay."
