It looks like we can add Oscar winner Diane Keaton to the list of actors making the transition from big to small screen. According to EW, she will be teaming up with Ellen Page for a new HBO half-hour comedy called Tilda.
The show, which in produced by Bill Condon, centers on a powerful and much-feared Hollywood blogger who may or may not be based on Deadline’s Nikki Finke. It will also feature Page as Carolyn, Tilda’s “morally conflicted” assistant.
The case reportedly came together after months of negotiations. What finally sealed the deal may never be publically known but whatever it was, HBO must have offered quite a lot to secure Keaton’s participation. Not to take anything away from Page but as stars go, Keaton is on another level entirely.
Tilda will start shooting next month in Los Angeles with a planned launch on HBO sometime early next year.

Empire Magazine has devoted a few pages of its current print issue to the Diablo Cody scripted, Megan Fox starring horror/comedy Jennifer’s Body. You may ask yourself right about now why we (or you for that matter) should care about this particular film. Fair question. Let’s talk a bit more about the film and perhaps you’ll get a better idea of why.
First off, the film is written by the very talented Diablo Cody, who’s previous writing effort was the terrific Juno. Second, the film stars Megan Fox as a demonically possessed cheerleader who proceeds to kill her classmates in new and fun kinds of ways. Third, during some of these killings, Fox manages to be in various stages of undress. Finally, the film is directed by Karyn Kusama, who so far has made a very good film in Girlfight and a decent one in Aeon Flux.
And did I mention that Megan Fox plays a cheerleader who kills people and tends to take her clothes off? Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention. Let’s be honest, having Megan Fox in a movie, especially right now with the mega success of Transformers 2, can’t hurt. Plus, you have to add in the Diablo Cody factor and more than likely a decent directing job. Put all that together and I don’t know exactly what it makes but did I happen to mention Megan Fox takes her clothes off quite a bit in the film?
Check out a few of the Jennifer’s Body pics after the break. For the rest of them, head over to Film School Rejects where they apparently have so much time on their hands they scan in photos of Megan Fox from magazines. But hey, we’re glad they do. Jennifer’s Body, which features Megan Fox, Amanda Zeyfried, Adam Brody, J.K. Simmons and Amy Sedaris, hits theaters on September 18.
