Entertainment Tonight.

Drew Barrymore, 38, is opening up to People about her second pregnancy, speaking out for the first time about her big baby news that broke Monday.

Drew says that the main reason her and husband Will Kopelman are “overjoyed” about baby number two being on the way, is the fact that their daughter Olive, 1, will now have a sibling.

“Will is just thrilled — we both are — [because] we just wanted so badly for Olive to have a sibling,” she says. “In some ways, it’s really for her. So congratulations, Olive!”

And clearly, Drew couldn’t be feeling any better about a second child being on the way.

“It always feels so surreal, it’s incredible,” she shares. “[I’m feeling] incredible, that ‘Here we go again’ feeling. And blessed. Blessed! … I’m feeling very, very happy. Happy and healthy — mentally and physically.”

As for why she’s going public about this pregnancy, she says its to avoid the paparazzi frenzy that surrounded her when she was pregnant with Olive.

“Last time I never commented on it and people just stalked me the entire time,” she tells the magazine. “So yes, it’s happening, it’s true. I tried to keep it a secret for as long as possible.”

On a more lighthearted note, the Never Been Kissed actress admits to already having pregnancy cravings — particularly one type of cuisine that she currently “can’t get enough of.”

The man behind Johnny Knoxville’s new movie hit “Bad Grandpa” and the “Jackass” films has been tapped to take charge of the upcoming Motley Crue biopic.

Director Jeff Tremaine will tackle the adaptation of the band’s 2001 autobiography “The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band.”

Bing: Nikki Sixx’s book goes to Broadway

Tremaine tells Deadline, “I’ve been careful to make this a natural progression. I’ve been offered a lot of scripts, but ‘Dirt’ is something I pursued with everything I had. I’ve wanted to make this going back to 2001, when we were just planning the first ‘Jackass’ movie and I found out that David Gale at MTV Films had just optioned the book.

“First of all, I had no idea how to make ‘Jackass’ into a movie, but I said to him, ‘Let me direct that movie, too’. He said, ‘Yeah, of course!’ He was being sarcastic, because he had the same level of confidence in me as a director as I did at that time. Now it’s important to get actors who play, or who understand how to deliver the charisma it takes to be onstage. Rock stars have a swagger. Some of what they went through is funny, but overall this movie is not going to be a comedy. It’s pretty dark. I think fans of what I’ve done will like this movie, but it’s not going to make you fall out of your chair laughing.”

Jon Favreau is in talks to direct Disney’s live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic novel “The Jungle Book,” an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.

First published in 1894, “The Jungle Book” is in the public domain and was adapted by Justin Marks, though producers have not yet been assigned.

Disney will be competing with a rival project that frequent “Harry Potter” scribe Steve Kloves is writing for Warner Bros.

“The Jungle Book” is a set of India-based fables, many of which feature Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves whose friends include a bear and a panther.

Disney’s 1967 animated adaptation was the last film to be produced by Walt Disney, who died during its production.

Favreau’s involvement with “Jungle Book” begs the question of what’s going on with Disney’s “Magic Kingdom,” which he had also been attached to direct.

The CAA-repped filmmaker recently wrapped the indie comedy “Chef,” which he also stars in and produced. He previously directed the first two “Iron Man” movies as well as “Elf” and “Zathura.”

The news was first reported by Deadline.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Nelson Mandela biopic “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” will get an audience from President Barack Obama, as well as a screening at the Kennedy Center hosted by Hillary Clinton.

The Weinstein Co. tells The Associated Press that Obama will screen the film Thursday at the White House. Mandela’s daughters Zindzi and Zenani Mandela will join, as will the film’s stars, Idris Elba and Naomie Harris.

The film will also screen Nov. 20 at the Kennedy Center, with Clinton hosting the gala.

Though there have been other films about the former South African president, “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” has long had Mandela’s approval and the cooperation of his family. It premiered Sunday in Johannesburg with much of Mandela’s family in attendance.

“Mandela” opens in U.S. theaters Nov. 29.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Drew Barrymore is expanding her brood.

A spokesman for the 38-year-old entertainer says Barrymore and her husband, Will Kopelman, are expecting their second child.

Publicist Chris Miller offered no other details Monday.

Barrymore and Kopelman, who were married in June 2012, are the parents of a 13-month-old daughter, Olive.

Barrymore recently launched her own beauty brand, Flower. Kopelman, the son of former Chanel CEO Arie Kopelman, is an art consultant.

Megan Fox is a certified killer in the official live-action trailer for the upcoming video game, “Call of Duty: Ghosts.”

The one-minute, 44-second trailer, directed by James Mangold (“The Wolverine”), follows four buddies — and one dog — on the gun-touting trip of a lifetime through a desolate, destroyed Las Vegas and beyond — way beyond.

Along the way, the gaming soldiers run into the sharp-shooting “Transformers” beauty on a skyscraper rooftop. Fox even saves one of their lives, firing a few well placed bullets into a drone.

The live-action trailer is the latest in the long-running game franchise’s “There’s a Soldier in All of Us” campaign. “Call of Duty: Ghosts” comes out Nov. 5.

The futuristic sci-fi movie “Ender’s Game” rocketed past “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” and captured the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend with an estimated $28 million haul.

The thriller based on Orson Scott Card’s 1985 novel topped two other wide openers, the animated turkey tale “Free Birds” and the geezers-gone-wild comedy “Last Vegas,” both of which wound up just over 16 million for the three days.

paramount’s R-rated “Bad Grandpa,” which stars Johnny Knoxville as sleazy codger Irving Ziskin in a series of hidden-camera pranks, was off just 39 percent in its second week and took in $20.5 million. The $15 million MTV Films production has brought in more than $62 million in two weeks.

Bing: ‘Ender’s Game’ boycott

Summit Entertainment’s parent Lionsgate is the company behind the Blockbusters “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games,” and “Ender’s Game” was seen as having the potential to launch a young adult franchise. It has a built-in base from Card’s books — “Ender’s Game” has climbed back atop the best-seller list – and a plot featuring a young genius trained to be the fiercest warrior on an Earth threatened by aliens.

But it didn’t break out, coming in just above where analysts projected it would. The opening is much stronger than “Beautiful Creatures,” “The Host” and “Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,” films that tried and failed to connect with the Bella-and-Katniss tween crowd earlier this year. But a sequel seems a long shot for backers Summit, Odd Lot Entertainment and Digital Domain, which created the futurist world in which the $100 million film is set.

Asa Butterfield, Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld star, along with Harrison Ford, Viola Davis and Ben Kingsley. Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci produce, and it is directed by Gavin Hood (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”).

The PG-13 rated “Ender’s Game” played mainly male (58 percent) and older than might be expected, with 54 percent of the audience over 25 years of age. Moviegoers gave it a “B+” CinemaScore.

There’s no way of knowing how many people stayed away, but the effect of an online “Skip Ender’s Game” campaign” seemed negligible. Organized by a group called Geeks Out that is protesting Card’s anti-gay marriage comments, the online petition attracted more than 11,000 signatures.

The opening for CBS Films’ “Last Vegas” was better than expected, and the PG-13-comedy starring Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline scored a bulls-eye with it target audience, which was mature moviegoers.

Eighty-three percent of its audience was over the age of 25 and 53 percent were women, and they gave it an “A-” CinemaScore. That, and a significant 39% attendance jump from Friday to Saturday, are indicators of positive word of mouth that makes a strong run over the next few weeks seem likely.

The studio is hoping the $28 million comedy will provide counter-programming as young-skewing “Thor: The Dark World” opens Friday and “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” lands two weeks after that.

“Free Birds,” featuring the the voices of Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson, is the first full-length animated feature for Reel FX and Relativity Media, which co-produced and financed to the tune of $55 million.

It came in a little under analysts’ projections, which weren’t that high to begin with. But the turkey tale received an “A-” CinemaScore and will have the animated market to itself until Nov. 27, when Disney debuts “Frozen.”

Holdover Oscar hopefuls “Gravity” and “Captain Phillips” continued to play strongly. Warner Bros.’ space epic took in $13 million for the three days and has a domestic total of nearly $220 million in its fifth week. Sony’s Tom Hanks piracy saga brought in roughly $8.2 million and upped its domestic total to $82 million in its fourth week.

Fox Searchlight expanded awards front-runner “12 Years a Slave,” which cracked the top ten last week, into 44 additional markets and upped the theater count to 410. It rang up $4.6 million for an impressive $11,200 per-screen average.

“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2,” “The Counselor” and “Carrie” rounded out the top ten.

The top ten:

“Ender’s Game,” $28M;
“Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa,” $20.5M;
“Last Vegas,” $16.5M;
“Free Birds,” $16.2M;
“Gravity,” $13M;
“Captain Phillips,” $8.5M;
“12 Years a Slave,” $4.6M;
“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2,” $4.2M;
“Carrie,” $3.4M;
“The Counselor,” $3.2M

James Franco is a man of many professions. Actor. Filmmaker. Author. Citizen journalist. And now, apparently, film critic.

The “127 Hours” actor put in his two cents on his recent film “Spring Breakers” in a free-flowing, swamp-of-consciousness essay for Vice.

Franco’s verdict on Franco’s film? Franco’s character, Alien, is totally awesome, and the film itself is a magnificent spectacle.

Bing: James Franco gets roasted

Franco begins the article with a loving paean to the character Alien, played with apparent expert magnificence by Franco.

“Here’s the end of it all, and I’ll tell you why: because there will never be a movie or a character that is more important for this age than ‘Spring Breakers’ and its protagonist Alien,” Franco says in his love letter to his own oeuvre.

According to Franco, the supreme nature of his character was confirmed by none other than “Grizzly Man” director Werner Herzog, who told him, “Three hundred years from now, when people want to look back at dis time, dey won’t go to the Obama inauguration speech, dey will go to ‘Spring Breakers.'”

As for the film itself, Franco opines, it’s “like trance music in movie form. It is liquid. Scenes flow in and out of each other. A scene will start and then the imagery will jump to another, sometimes from the past, other times from the future, while the audio from the initial scene continues to play through.”

Watch your back, Leonard Maltin; there’s a new kid in town.

The Matthew McConaughey-Jared Leto AIDS drama “Dallas Buyers Club” got off to solid start in its limited box-office debut, taking in $264,128 from nine theaters for a $29,347 per-screen average.

“Dallas Buyers Club” is the last Focus Features release before incoming CEO Peter Schlessel takes over the specialty label, which has merged with FilmDistrict, from founder James Schamus. The fact-based tale stars McConaughey as a homophobic Texas drug addict diagnosed with AIDS in 1986, who begins to smuggle anti-viral medications into Dallas from all over the world.

The opening was below that of some other Focus films that dealt with issues of interest to the LGBT moviegoers, including 2005’s “Brokeback Mountain” (a $109,485 average from five theaters), “The Kids Are All Right” ($70,282 from seven) in 2010 and “Milk,” which averaged $40,385 on 36 theaters in 2008.

But Focus was pleased with the debut of the film, for which McConaughey and Leto are drawing acting awards buzz, and saw a second-day surge as significant.

“The film experienced a strong increase in box office on Saturday with a 71% overall bump from Friday to Saturday. Historically, smarthouse films increase in the upper 40% range from Friday to Saturday. Yesterday’s increase is a strong indication that the film’s popular and box office momentum is working well,” said a spokesman.

“About Time” and “Diana,” two movies from the U.K., landed softly in their limited release debuts.

The time-travel tale “About Time,” is the latest effort from writer-director Richard Curtis, the man behind romantic comedy hits “Love Actually,” “Notting Hill” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral.” He’s reunited with Working Title producers Tim Bev an and Eric Fellner for “About Time” which stars Rachel McAdams, Domhnall Gleeson and Bill Nighy.

Universal launched “About Time” on 175 screens ahead of its nationwide rollout next weekend. It brought in $1.1 million for a decent per-screen average of $6,045.

Director Oliver Hirschbiegel’s “Diana” brought in $69,914 from 38 theaters for eOne for a weak per-theater average of $1,754.

The biopic starring Naomi Watts tells the tale of the Princess Diana’s secret love affair with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan. It has been savaged by the critics, and has just a 9 percent positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — French film director Luc Besson on Friday slammed paparazzi in Taiwan for interfering with the shooting of his latest film starring Scarlett Johansson, but denied reports that he considered leaving the island early to underscore his disgust over their actions.

Besson spent 11 days in Taipei filming “Lucy” with Johansson, who plays a drug mule whose contact with a “super-serum” endows her with superhuman abilities.

Meeting reporters in Taipei a day after he finished shooting the Taiwan part of the film, Besson blasted the paparazzi for dogging the production, saying it was his right as a director to keep details, such as Johansson’s hair style and her wardrobe, out of the public eye until “Lucy” is released.

“We don’t want pictures with new dresses of Scarlett,” he said. “Sometime I lost a bit of my concentration because I’m bothered by that.”

“Shooting at nighttime was a nightmare” because of constant paparazzi intrusions, he said.

Besson singled out two unnamed agencies from Hong Kong for special condemnation, but labeled as incorrect news reports that he wanted to leave Taiwan early to register his disapproval of their actions.

“I read in the newspaper that I was ready to leave,” he said. “This is wrong.”

Besson also said it was incorrect to say that drug smuggling was the focus of the film, saying it comprised only a very small part.

“The film is about pure intelligence,” he said, declining to elaborate. “We’re basically using 10 percent of our brain. What happens when we use more?”

Besson said work on the film would take another year, and that it was still too early to talk about a release date.
