Haute 100 Miami Update: Michael Bay Wants John Krasinski for “13 Hours”

Michael Bay has left the goofy robots of Transformers in his rearview and sets his sights on new projects. Though he’s one of the most powerful men in cinema, his films have always been lacking in the critical acclaim department. Perhaps that is about to change; his next project 13 Hours will recount the attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound as well as a C.I.A. Annex in its vicinity in Libya. Rumors are that Bay would like John Krasinski of the Office to star. Krasinski’s career has slowed since the beloved series ended two years ago, but his intelligent and likable persona is just what the film is looking for. Other actors rumored to be a part of the film include Woody Harrelson and J.K. Simmons who just scored an Oscar nomination for his performance as a sadistic drum teacher in Whiplash.

There’s some major Real Housewives beef going on: Miami cast member Joana Krupa is suing Brandi Glanville of the Beverly Hills cast with libel/slander for the latter making some very lewd comments about the former.

Slanders has to be proved to be, “read as reasonably being true.” Do to the outlandish nature of Glanville’s comments, the court could most likely hold that they are simply an opinion.
