Movie News - Foodfight! and War Inc. aka Brand Hauser: Stuff Happens

Variety is reporting that Hilary Duff's new movie, which was previously known as "War Inc." will now be called "Brand Hauser: Stuff Happens". The movie, which was previously thought to be a drama, is a dark political satire co-written by and starring John Cusack.

There is a lot of contradictory information about this movie coming from different sources, but Variety is the industry leader, so I assume they are pretty reliable. According to the article "Cusack plays an assassin assigned to kill a Middle East oil minister. His cover is that he's producing a big trade show that includes a wedding between a local pop star and a politico, but complications ensue."

It is still unknown what Hilary Duff's role will be. Previous reports had her playing a young reporter who gets romantically involved with Cusack, but now that there is a pop star in the movie it seems like that would be the logical part for her to play. Like many things in Hilary's career right now, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Among other Duff movie news, the animated feature Foodfight! has set a tentative release date of November 16, 2007. The movie, which stars the Duff Sisters, Charlie Sheen, and Eva Longoria among others, has had a few different release dates so far, so I expect that it could be moving around quite a bit before finally settling on a weekend.
