Combine David Katzenberg with writer Seth Grahame-Smith and the bizarre hybrid creation is KatzSmith Productions, a company grabbing attention in Hollywood for imaginative mash-up ideas and a love of all things genre. The duo likes to mix-and-match history and horror, fuse crime sagas with ghost stories, and they love the idea of assassins avenging Wall Street malfeasance. Oh yeah, they also want to make a Beetlejuice sequel that die-hard fans will love.

"Comedy Central's Roast of Charlie Sheen" was closer to a semi-organized group therapy session fueled by whatever medications were in Charlie's medicine cabinet than an actual roast.
The dais was flanked by two torpedoes labeled Csaf (Charlie Sheen Air Force) and Greek-inspired, ivy covered columns fronted by scantily clad goddesses. The man of the hour was escorted out on a steam engine by former G 'n R guitarist Slash rocking out.
The evening's surprise attendee Brooke Mueller. Sheen's ex-wife endured numerous barbs from the folks on stage. The toughest line of the night at her expense came from Jeffrey Ross who said of the former Mrs. Sheen, "She's not very bright unless Charlie's throwing a lamp at her. "
As for the roasters, the performance of the evening came early on from Jon Lovitz. The former "SNL" star, seemingly plucked from nowhere for the event, showed the talent that landed...

The Charlie Sheen Roast just got a little more weird, and significantly more random. Comedy Central announced that former roastee William Shatner, in addition to 'Private Practice' actress Kate Walsh and Jon Lovitz, will be joining Mike Tyson and a slew of stand-up comedians in the public tarring and feathering of America's most embarrassing celebrity.
In addition to those stars, the network also announced that comedians Patrice O'Neal and Amy Schumer will be on the roast dias. Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash will also be there, but it's unclear whether he will be a roaster, or just take a long nap under his giant hat.
The full roast roster also includes previously-announced Roastmaster Seth MacFarlane, Mike Tyson, Steve-o, Anthony Jeselnik and RoastMaster General Jeffrey Ross.

Fans of cult movie The Big Lebowski now have the chance to play their heroes onscreen and get paid for having sex thanks to an upcoming open casting call for a new X-rated version of the Coen Brothers film.
Porn bosses at New Sensations are looking for unknowns to fill six leading roles in their new project The Big Lebowski - A XXX Parody.
The vacant parts are those of Jeffrey 'Big' Lebowski, Walter, Brandt, Blonde Treehorn Thug, The Stranger and Liam.
Although currently written into the script as non-sex roles, New Sensations executives are open to re-writing the script to incorporate any of the six characters as a sex role for a Lebowski fan who is willing to show the "ultimate dedication".
Director Lee Roy Myers tells WENN, "We are looking for the most devoted and enthusiastic fans to fill these roles.
"This is my dream project since I am such a huge fan of The Big Lebowski. It is an amazing movie! Sex, bowling, cursing, a cable guy... Lebowski has everything a great pornographic movie needs."
But there's a catch - Phillip Seymour Hoffman, John Goodman, Mark Pellegrino and David Huddleston have all been invited to reprise their roles in the porn remake, and they'll be given preference over look-a-likes and fans.
Hopefuls are being asked to email their details to LebowskiAuditions@newsensations.com before 1 February.

Last night I went to go see Inglourious Basterds for a second time at a midnight showing and prior to the start of the movie we saw the trailer for Avatar, which in 2-D looked better than anything on saw on the crappy screens at Comic Con and really upped my excitement to see the movie and I also saw the short teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's Inception, which looked particularly impressive and like the Avatar trailer, didn't include a single line of dialogue, just the tagline, "Your mind is the crime scene."
