Today's Cryptoquip Clue: X equals H Conceptis SudoKu SUDOKU TELEVISION Difficulty Level ★★★ PAGE 6A 'Whitney' creator starts new talk show in fall In the sequels-and-remakes department, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones team up again for "Men in Black 3" (May 25), whether you wanted them to or not, and Jeremy Renner stars as a spy who isn't Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Legacy"(Aug. 3). And, if you've ever looked at Colin Farrell and thought, "That guy reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger," then you might understand the casting of the "Total Recall" remake (Aug. 3), with Farrell taking over the Schwarzenegger role, alongside LOS ANGELES — Whitney Cummings' NBC sitcom, "Whitney," may have been a critical and ratings disappointment (it hasn't yet been renewed for a second season), but that doesn't appear to be slowing the comedian down. She's set to launch a weekly talk show, "Love You, Mean It With Whitney Cummings," which will air Wednesday's in the fall along with "The Soup." The show is being described as Cummings' open forum to discuss her favorite topics, which include pop culture and celebrity happenings, life, relationships, sex and more. Meanwhile, the CBS show Cummings co-created, "2 Broke Girls," will be returning for The summer blockbusters kick off with a team of superheroes: "The Avengers 3D" features Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo; wait, Mark Ruffalo?). "Battleship," based on the game that involved sticking pegs into holes but presumably a little more exciting (let's hope), arrives May 18; "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," inspired by those handsome dolls, opens June 29. "Prometheus," Ridley Scott's sort-of-prequel to "Alien," arrives June 8 and stars Noomi Rapace (the original Girl with a Dragon Tattoo), Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender. MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE 5/03 a second season. If Cummings' talk seems similar to the one by E!'s current late-night talk show queen, Chelsea Handler, it's understandable. Cummings began as a regular on Handler's show as a panelist. McClatchy Tribune Summer films feature aliens and vampires Here's a sampling of what will be turning up on screens this summer; note that all release dates are tentative and as changeable as Johnny Depp's voice. MOVIES Norwegian crime story adapted to big screen "Headhunters," the latest Scandinavian page-turner to make it to the big screen, is an almost perfect example of the form. Aksel Hennie is Roger, an Oslo executive who seems to have it all: cushy career, gorgeous Heidi Klum look-alike wife, an attractive mistress, and a home straight out of a Swedish architecture magazine. But he's subsidizing his lifestyle with art heists. When he plots to steal an extremely rare Rubens from the home of a mysterious newcomer to town, his comfy life turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Based on a Norwegian novel by co-writer Jo Nesbø, "Headhunters" is full of chilly, Nordic calm masking the burning fires of jealousy, ambition and revenge underneath. McClatchy Tribune Bryan Cranston. Johnny Depp dons fangs for "Dark Shadows" (May 11), the Tim Burton film based on the '60s vampire soap opera. Snow White turns up on screen in her second incarnation this year (following "Mirror Mirror"), this time played by Kristen "Bella" Stewart, in "Snow White and the Huntsman" (June 1), "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (June 22) goes from page to screen. Michael Winterbottom's "Trishna" (July 20), starring Freida Pinto ("Slumdog Millionaire")), is a version of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles," set in contemporary India. "Sparkle" (Aug. 17), inspired by the 1976 movie, features American Idol Jordin Sparks and the final screen appearance of Whitney Houston. And the year's most unlikely adaptation has to be "What to Expect When You're Expecting" (May 18), based on the popular how-to-be-pregnant book and transformed, somehow, into a romantic comedy. Sacha Baron Cohen returns as "The Dictator" (May 16) — that character he was portraying on the Oscar red carpet earlier this year, when he tossed fake ashes on Ryan Seacrest. Will this start a trend? In "Ted" (July 13), Mark Wahlberg's teddy bear comes to life, in "That's My Boy" (June 15), Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg play father and son; in "Neighborhood Watch" (July 27), Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn defend their suburb against alien invasion, and sometimes it feels like I'm making all of this stuff up, doesn't it? Meanwhile, Tyler Perry returns with "Madea's Witness Protection" (June 29), starring Perry and Eugene Levy as unexpected housemates.
