Insiders acknowledged it was possible that Shue might have to be replaced on the film, which is in its eighth week of production and has 16 weeks left to shoot. But sources said it was more likely that the shoot would be delayed slightly. In the film Shue plays a scientist working on a serum that renders people invisible. When another scientist tries the serum and becomes invisible, his colleagues have to find a way to bring him back to the normal world, according to THR.

Scream 3: Less than a month before "Scream 3" was set to begin shooting, a behind-the-scenes drama played out between Dimension Films and screenwriter Kevin Williamson over the third chapter in the lucrative horror franchise. Although Williamson turned in a 30-page outline for the sequel, he has been so consumed by other Miramax projects - including postproduction on his feature directing debut, "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," due in August, and his upcoming television series "Wasteland" - that he found it hard to squeeze in time for "Scream 3." Dimension then recruited Ehren Kruger ("Arlington Road" and the upcoming "Reindeer Games") to draft a shooting script. Sources said that Williamson hasn't even read Kruger's script and is resisting further "Scream" work, citing his very full plate, according to THR. Dogma: Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck tell EW Online why they may burn in hell in a new article you can view right here. Movie Trailers: A trailer for the Claire Danes/Bill Pullman starrer "Brokedown Palace" and also one for the long-awaited film "The Fight Club" - which stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter.
Celebrity Deathmatch: Eric Fogel has been tapped to write, direct and produce a feature film version of MTV's claymation series "Celebrity Deathmatch" for MTV Films and Paramount Pictures. Fogel, who executive produces the show, has been expected to take on the feature version of the series, which pits clay versions of celebrities against each other in wrestling matches. Although there is no script for the feature yet, the project is said to be a top priority for the studio. The feature is expected to be plot-driven, much in the way "Beavis and Butt-head" was adapted to the big screen, THR reports.
