Trade Roundup: Addiction’s Silent Victim, Lindsay Lohan Vehicle ‘Poor Things,’ To Continue With Shoot As Planned

· The aptly named Still Rolling Prods. says principal photography on grannie heist movie Poor Things is to begin Wednesday as planned, which means either co-star Lindsay Lohan will be recast, or the script will be rewritten to incorporate an actual L.A. courthouse and Malibu detox facility. [Variety]
· Miss Universe takes a beating in the ratings, trampled by a Two and a Half Men rerun. Miss USA, meanwhile, takes a beating of her own, tripping during the evening gown competition and getting booed loudly by the Mexican audience during the interview portion. Terrible! Kind of funny, but just terrible! [THR]
· CBS greenlit six episodes of Do You Trust Me?, a game show that’s betting audiences will show up to see if a player falling backwards will be caught by his co-contestants, or if they’ll pull their arms away at the last moment, allowing him to be impaled on the Spikes of Death. [Variety]
· In keeping with recent trends of premiering major Hollywood releases abroad (hey – they know on which side of the Atlantic and/or Pacific their popcorn flick is buttered), Michael Bay’s blowing-shit-uppingest movie in ages, Transformers, is to get its first public showing at Rome’s Taormina Film Fest. [THR]
· As we mentioned earlier, there’s a new Golden Boy at NBC: Jeff Zucker reconfigures the executive structure at the once great, now consistently fourth-place network, essentially drop-kicking Kevin Reilly and luring Ben Silverman away from his successful production company to take over West Coast operations.
