Sure Shots: Kevin Bacon/X-Men; Seth Rogen; Tony Scott

* Kevin Bacon(The Woodsman) has been offered the role of the villain in X-Men: First Class. Nothing has been signed as of yet, but the actor is said to be in final negotiations. Speculation is that he'll play Mr. Sinister, one of the X-men's oldest foes who has taken an interest in the genetics of all mutants, Scott and Alex Summers in particular.

* The previously untitle cancer comedy starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Leavitt finally has a name: Live With It.  It's based on the autobiographical story of Will Reiser, a screenwriter who is diagnosed with cancer in his 20s. The film also stars Angelia Huston, Philip Baker Hall, Anna Kendrick, and Bryce Dallas Howard. Jonathan Levine(The Wackness) will be directing.

* Director Tony Scott continues to round up an impressive cast for his upcoming New Jersey mob film, Potsdamer Plotz. Mickey Rourke has been confirmed for some time but the new additons are Christopher Walken, Javier Bardem, and French musician Johnny Halladay.
