4 - Leonardo DiCaprio - $39 million

Alan Alda, Eve Hewson (daughter of Bono) and Billy Magnusen are in negotiations to co-star.

DOCTOR WHO---Season 8's finale will recreate the classic scene of the Cybermen on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral from Season 2 in 1968.





ANT-MAN---Evangeline Lilly (LOST, THE HOBBIT) was asked about the rumors she will play the female lead role, "No, I can't. I don't know anything about those rumors." She was also asked if she would appear at Comic-Con to promote a movie other than THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES, "I'm an actress, but I'm not stupid. I can't answer that question."





THE PROFESSIONAL---Luc Besson commented on a possible sequel to the movie that starred Natalie Portman and Jean Reno, "Natalie is old now, she's a mother. [Laughs] It's too late. If I got an idea tomorrow about a sequel, of course I would do it. But I never came up with something strong enough. I don't want to do sequels for money, I want to do a sequel because it's worth it. I want it to be as good or better than the original."

FARGO---Season 2 will have a different cast, story and setting. It will feature an incident mentioned in Season 1 that occurred in Sioux Falls in 1979 involving Lou Solverson who just returned from Vietnam. Molly's mother will be introduced and what happened to her will be explained.

GOTHAM---Dr. Hugo Strange and DA Harvey Dent will be among the show's villains.

SONS OF ANARCHY---Malcolm-Jamal Warner (THE COSBY SHOW) will have a recurring role as TO Cross's top lieutenant.

PIXELS---video arcade characters PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Galaga, Frogger and Space Invaders will be featured in this Sony Pictures comedy movie in which video game champs take on alien invaders who think video arcade games are an invasion of their planet. Adam Sandler, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage and Kevin James star.

BENEATH---horror movie starring Jeff Fahey in which a group of coal miners are trapped after a cave in as something trapped with them begins killing them off.

THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN---Mike White (NACHO LIBRE) is in negotiations to direct the Disney movie based on the children's book.

This is good news. The film stands very well on its own and we don't need spin-offs or sequels for everything. I was especially worried when they were trying to attach another director to it (Megaton I think?) and had given up on a good sequel - and besides, who'd want to see it without Jean Reno?

2 - Dwayne Johnson - $52 million

This still shocks me. I thought his career totally tanked when he did a decades worth of Disney kiddie fare. Good for him.

Edit: I don't even know who Bradley Cooper is!

Angelina Jolie would have knocked Marky Mark or the Fresh Prince off the list. The second highest paid actress, Jennifer Lawrence, would at $26 million be well below the bottom of that list. And yes, it is sadly telling that of the top 10 highest paid performers only one would be a woman and only two POC.

Yes, and a decade ago she was the world's only black billionaire. Now there are reportedly 9 -- 1/2 of 1% of the world's billionaires are black. And apparently from 2013 to 2014 the number of female billionaires went up from 104 to 138: from about 6% to about 8%. Which seems about right considering that only 7% of the world's population is women, right?

1210 Billionaires in the world (2011)

All I know is I'll never be a millionaire or a billionaire!

Chris Hemsworth?????!!!!!

Philp Seymour Hoffman left a reported estate worth $35 million!!!
And, as great an actor as he was , he wasn't a STAR, certainly not a box office attraction>

No wonder films cost so damn much to make!

You have to give it to this guy's agent....he's never going to win an Oscar for his acting ability, but still manages to headline some big films (and many minor/moderate hits)...add re-signing with the WWE into that, plus TV appearances to keep his face around (his hysterical cameo in Family Guy springs to mind)....but yes, I haven't quite forgiven that whole Tooth Fairy thing yet....but man, he has a good agent...yes, good luck to him...has more charisma in his little finger than many big "stars" do in their entire body...
