Which Celebrity Dressed Up As a Dead Body This Weekend?

And you thought your Contagion Matt Damon costume was elaborate. This past weekend, one celebrity/sometimes actress trumped all of the ghoul-like get-ups you and your uninspired friends will wear in an entire lifetime by jumping into a skinless corpse bodysuit…and employing two extras in surgeon costumes to push her down the red carpet on an autopsy table. Can you guess who is responsible for the most elaborate Halloween costume thus far? If you guessed Heidi Klum based on her history of elaborate Halloween-wear, you are correct! Congratulations! Klum described her partially airbrushed bodysuit to reporters this weekend outside of the Las Vegas Halloween party she hosted: “It’s kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off. It’s basically like me naked.” Below, enjoy three more photos of Klum’s costume this year and the back-up costume she prepared just in case — a Rise of the Planet of the Apes-style gorilla. How does your costume stack up against Heidi’s? [Photos: Getty Images]

Beverly Hills Cop IV Wars, and 5 Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today

Happy Thursday! Also in this edition of The Broadsheet: A Farrelly-sanctioned Dumb and Dumber sequel gets moving (slightly)… Signs point to Still Seas for Guillermo del Toro… The only defense of Shame’s NC-17 that you’ll need… John Carpenter’s first student film discovered… and more. · As noted in Wednesday’s Buzz Break, Eddie Murphy himself has put the kibosh to Brett Ratner’s dream project Beverly Hills Cop IV, arguing that the scripts were never right but that a TV spinoff featuring Axel Foley’s son — with occasional cameos by Murphy as the titular detective — could be in the offing. No, no, no, no, said Ratner: “I think [the movie will be made] one day, I’m hoping, because it is one of the most iconic characters ever. Eddie does not go anywhere in the world where they’re not like, ‘Axel Foley, what’s up?’ more than ‘Eddie Murphy.’ It is something that our hope and desire is to get it made.” Fine: Let’s just do the 84th Academy Awards, hosted by Axel Foley for maximum international reach. Everyone wins, and we can stop talking about this goddamned movie that nobody but Brett Ratner wants. [MTV] · The Farrelly Brothers have planted the seed for a real follow-up to their Jim Carrey/Jeff Daniels classic Dumb and Dumber — and that’s the good news. The not-so-good (or at least not-so-encouraging) news? They’re not writing it. Those duties have gone to Sean Anders and John Morris, the team behind the upcoming Adam Sandler effort I Hate You Dad. If ever a trade report called for one of those :-/ emoticons, this might be the one. [Deadline] · Thanks to the ever-reliable Hollywood domain-registry trawl, word is that Guillermo del Toro and Warner Bros. have settled on Still Seas as the title of the filmmaker’s forthcoming creature flick; the project once known as Pacific Rim has gone by both titles throughout its early stages. [Fusible] · “That’s 26 total in 21 years. That’s not a functional adult rating. That’s playing the lottery.” Looping in Shame’s box-office interests and cultural stakes, David Poland hits the NC-17 nail on the head. Must read! [The Hot Blog/MCN] · John Carpenter’s 1968 student film Captain Voyeur has been discovered in the USC archives. Apparently a thriller in the mold of Halloween, it’s being restored and will no doubt be publicly embarrassing the horror maven in no time at all. [THR] · In the grand tradition of Awards-Season Trading Cards, how about Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy cards? Collect all 18! Or… not. [Hollywood Elsewhere] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter.

American Reunion Redband Trailer Proves Things Haven't Changed Since Jason Biggs's Pie Days

Good news and bad news about American Reunion based on the very first (and very redband) teaser trailer that has just surfaced: Jason Biggs’s Jim still isn’t locking the door when he masturbates. This could be good news for American Pie purists who hoped the franchise would get back to basics this April, and bad news for fans who hoped Jim would never have to pleasure himself again with footwear after marrying Alyson Hannigan’s band geek Michelle in the third and most recent Pie installment, American Wedding. Warning: The teaser is NSFW, not appropriate for kids, and deserving of its restricted redband label. Like I was saying, things haven’t changed much for Jim in the past decade (based on this promo) other than the fact that a small child now interrupts his self-love sessions rather than his father (Eugene Levy, who will also return for Reunion) and the fact that he is married to a girl who also understands the value of alone time. Unseen in this sneak peak are Thomas Ian Nicholas, Chris Klein, Seann William Scott, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Natasha Lyonne, Mena Suvari, Shannon Elizabeth and Jennifer Coolidge, whose returning characters will miraculously all show up for East Great Falls’ ten-year reunion. In case you weren’t motivated to see American Reunion based on the above trailer alone, know that this installment is directed by Harold & Kumar writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg. VERDICT: Maybe it’s finally time to put memories of all of those direct-to-DVD Pie spin-off films behind us? American Reunion opens in theaters April 6. [via Vulture]

Screw You, 'Human Centipede II'

Sobering thought prior to deciding to have a look at for happy hour on Friday mid-day: we presently live in a worldwide where you will discover not merely one, but two movies about creating human centipedes. When the aliens from 'A.I.' are surveying the remains of Earth in 3,000 years, this is the type of factor they may point at and say, "Fortunately these males have remaining.In . Put yet another way: because of this we're not able to have nice things. Far whether it's from me to condemn a movie I have not seen -- nor occasion to see -- but: seriously? Seriously? 'Human Centipede II' can be a factor people desire to watch, having its graphic violence, rape, sadism and fecal accoutrements? "If you are a actress in 'Human Centipede 2,' how will you demonstrate that movie for the parents, or utilize it your reel?" Variety reporter Rob Sneider wondered on Twitter. "Utter trash." To resolve the initial a part of that Tweet: you don't? Simply cutting photos for that posts round the film now assisted me gag. When causes us to be a prude, then consider us a prude -Body who not need to see what "mouth," "anus" and "made" placed near each other inside a sentences. Ever. Being fair, director Tom Six is kind of in round the "joke," reveling within the role as agent provocateur. When Movieline's Jen Yamato asked for him of a lady who fainted through the premiere screening of 'Human Centipede II' at Fantastic Fest lately, Six made an appearance satisfied. "Independently it is a convenience to me - clearly, as extended as people do not get really hurt," he mentioned. "In my opinion this is actually the core of filmmaking. If someone makes a great comedy and you're simply laughing your ass of and you're simply really hurt within the laughing - I like that. In case your film at all does by utilizing you, that you're really fucked up or there is a strong emotion, it really works In my opinion. As it is terrible if you see a film and you also don't care." The larger problem for horror movies. If you want to get individuals to literally watch shit to cause them to become "care" of a genre, simply what does that say concerning the health of the genre? Nothing positive, clearly -- something which has been proven within the box office this year, where horror remains pressed aside by family films, action spectacles and R-rated comedies (poop carried out for laughs > poop carried out for torture). The mere info on 'Human Centipede II' seems as being a tipping point: where can horror vary from here? Is it possible to even imagine? Sadly, yes. Six states that plans are actually on-going for just about any 'Human Centipede III,' the one that will occur in the united states. 'With Part Three I personally use a completely different direction again, and you'll find some moments that we feel are worse than Part Two - in a whole different way!" he told Movieline. "It is therefore around the viewer be it worse or whatever." Early guess: it's worse. And whatever. Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook RELATED

With with no publicity, the series opened up on May 5 combined having a fundamental 6-week run inside the 11 PM slot.

Paul Feig Exits Bridget Jones 3; Universal Looking For Brit Director For January Start

EXCLUSIVE: Universal Pictures and Working Title Films will need a new director for Bridget Jones 3, and I hear they want a Brit. Paul Feig has withdrawn after developing the most recent draft of the script with the intention to direct. I’m told that both sides agreed it didn’t work out and that maybe this is just a quintessential British comedy that needs a British sensibility. They will set a director soon as they are still slated to start production in January, with Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant all eager to return. Feig has enough to keep him busy at Universal, where he just directed the sleeper hit Bridesmaids. He’s got two projects there including an untitled comedy that he’s writing to direct for producer Judd Apatow, with the hope that Jon Hamm will play a guy obsessed with a woman who’ll be played by Melissa McCarthy. That certainly puts much of the Bridesmaids team together, and it will have to do until the studio figures out a way to get moving on a Bridesmaids sequel after the first one grossed $286 million worldwide on a $32 million budget. Hamm was recently quoted saying that Kristen Wiig, who starred in and co-wrote the original, wasn’t likely to come back. I’ve been hearing the same thing for a while, but the studio is hopeful that things have changed since when she was first asked, when the film was just becoming a phenomenon and it was all a bit overwhelming. She’s now doing her final season of Saturday Night Live, and it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to start the next stage of her career with the second installment of a franchise that people actually want to see. Wiig wrote the script with Annie Mumolo, and so far they haven’t even come up with a sequel idea. Of course, Universal has experience continuing hit movies when the original stars don’t return: That happened with The Fast And The Furious when Vin Diesel declined to return for the second film. The franchise did fine anyway, and he’s back now. If the studio can get back Wiig and the cast that includes McCarthy (who is proving herself an accomplished physical comic actress most recently with last weekend’s outrageously funny SNL hosting stint), the sequel makes too much sense not to happen in some form.
