The following is a list of the top 25 Power Casting Directors in film and television (including Casting Director of the Year, Debra Zane; see page 9). We began with more than 100 candidates. In some cases, collaborations were so closely tied that we considered multiple people as one entity. Several drafts later, all 25 spots were cast.Notably omitted from the list are in-house casting executives at studios and networks, the inclusion of whom would have ballooned our list to 50 or more. But read about them online at www.backstage.com/spotlight. Focusing on independent casting directors leveled the playing field and highlighted people whose puissance is not affected by one scale-tipping affiliation. Now, on to the top 25!Kerry BardenCan you imagine Monster's Ball starring Erykah Badu, or American Psycho starring Leonardo DiCaprio? Kerry Barden can, because he saw them read the parts.

A Justice League movie has been off and on for years now, yet George Miller, the more frequently on again and off again director of the proposed movie, told MTV: I’m still attached to the film. Warner Bros. is waiting to develop the other characters a little bit and then bring Justice League together. After the success of [The Dark Knight], it’s well known that they will develop the other characters and then bring them together in Justice League. That’s a fair way down the track. So break out the popcorn and soda! Just put them back. Immediately. Then break them out again many years later.

Upcoming Australian horror film, Prey, originally began production with George Miller (not The George Miller mind you... thanks Ryan) attached to direct back in May 2007. After it was quietly announced it basically fell off the face of the earth... until now. The good news is that the film is still being produced the same dudes who brought us Wolf Creek (one of my favorite horror flicks of the last few years) and Storm Warning. Here's a lengthy synopsis:
The story is inspired by the disappearance in the late 80's of a North American couple who disappeared in the West Australian desert on a 4Wd holiday. They were never seen alive again. Their abandoned vehicles and totally unused supplies were found in sand dunes near an Aboriginal sacred site--less than an hour away from the closest town. Two years later, the two men were both found dead of natural causes, on the same day,...

American Idol's Top 12 is about to be reduced to 11. It's the first single elimination Results Show of the season and, really, I'm not looking forward to it. These episodes drag on forever, and will especially do so now that Fox and American Idol decided to extend all Results Shows from a half hour to a full hour. So, to recap, now American Idol will spend an hour doing what could be done in five minutes. Ech. After the mildly impressive Beatles Night yesterday, these are the contenders to go home tonight – Kristy Lee Cook, David Hernandez, Syesha Mercado and Ramiele Malubay. My prediction for the bottom three is this: Kristy Lee Cook, David Hernandez and Syesha Mercado, with Syesha getting the ticket home. I'll be here throughout the episode to give live updates as the show moves along.
I can't even watch these promos for The Moment of Truth.
