Chicago – In a year where shoots with perpetual photo fashionistas like Cindy Crawford and Sarah Jessica Parker still failed to crack the Top Ten list of biggest celebrity photo-ops, you know 2014 was a very good year for HollywoodChicago.com and myself, Joe Arce, as Senior Staff Photographer.
Narrowing down the 182 celebrity subjects that posed for my lens last year to a mere ten favorite portraits is not an easy task. Nonetheless, here are my Top Ten picks for biggest celebrity shoots of 2014. I based this on a combination of star power wattage of the subjects, the artistic results and the degree of difficulty in landing the quarry – for those iPhone carrying budding celebrity stalkers who may wish to play along at home.

We've been hearing about a big screen adaptation of the "Baywatch" TV series for many years. And now comes word that Paramount Pictures is pushing forward with the film and has brought on Dwayne Johnson to play the lead role. Johnson confirmed his involvement on Instagram, stating: "This is my beach b*tch! Rumors are true... we're making #Baywatch the movie. Edgy, raunchy and hopefully, funny as all hell. Cue slo-mo running on the beach." The new movie will be directed by Sean Anders (That's My Boy, Horrible Bosses 2) and John Morris (We're the Millers). Justin Malen (Bad Teacher 2) has been hired to rewrite the script.

Dwayne Johnson’s pulling power is most definitely not in question. As soon as his involvement in a floundering franchise is announced, it’s as if he gives them a new lease of life. It’s not hard to see why he’s like audience catnip for series like Fast & Furious and G.I. Joe. He’s an immensely amiable guy, who’s real-life positivity spills over into his characters. The Rock’s got charisma, and Hollywood wants in. Now, we’ve learned from THR where we’ll fall in love with him next – on the beach. Paramount are moving forward on the long-awaited big screen version of Baywatch with Johnson now attached to star.
The good news (aw come on, this is Great news) doesn’t end there. The comedic writing duo behind We’re The Millers, Sean Anders and John Morris, are also “loosely attached” to direct. If their involvement becomes official,...

As far as I can tell, the first time I wrote about a possible movie based on the television show "Baywatch" was in 2004 when it carried the title Baywatch 3-Double-d. That idea was squashed later that year when DreamWorks took over and ever since there have been rumblings, but nothing official on the books... until now. THR reports Paramount is moving forward with a big screen adaptation and Dwayne Johnson is "loosely attached" to star with Justin Malen (Bad Teacher 2) writing the script for We're the Millers helmers, Sean Anders and John Morris directing. Set along the shores of Santa Monica, there currently is no word on a plot synopsis, but THR reports previous efforts to bring the story to the big screen involved action revolving "around a series of shark attacks that led the Baywatch team to investigate a drug-smuggling operation."...

After years stuck in development, things are finally happening regarding the "Baywatch" movie at Paramount Pictures.
THR reports that Dwayne Johnson is loosely attached to star in the film which Sean Anders and John Morris ("Horrible Bosses 2") will direct. Justin Malen ("Bad Teacher 2") is set to pen a rewrite of the script.
Malen takes over from previous scribes Jeremy Garelick and Peter Tolan who reportedly had one take involving the team investigating a drug smuggling operation following a series of shark attacks. Whether that is still the case is unsure.
How far along the project is, is also unknown at this point.

A trio of new posters for ya today, fans of movie posters. Up first, Gareth Edwards’ big G does what he does best in a new poster for “Godzilla” — which in this case is stomp the ever lovin’ crap out of everything. Now that’s one pissed off reptile. Someone give him a Snickers! Meanwhile, Captain America and the boys (and girl) get a new IMAX poster for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” It’s the same poses you’ve seen in previous posters, so there’s really nothing new except for the color scheme and new mixing and matching and whatnot. And finally, here’s a first poster for the sure-to-be raunchy comedy “Sex Tape” starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, who are re-teaming with their “Bad Teacher” director Jake Kasdan. The trio will be back in “Bad Teacher 2″ later this year.

• 2014 in preview: science-fiction
• 2014 in preview: drama
• 2014 in preview: Oscar contenders
• 2014 in preview: romance
Sex Tape
Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz play a couple who make a sex tape one night, then realise it's gone missing the next morning, prompting a "frantic search for its whereabouts". Segel and Diaz reunite three years on from Bad Teacher (and a half year ahead of Bad Teacher 2, which is also being directed by the man in charge here, Jake Kasdan, whose first ever job was on Freaks & Geeks). This is also, possibly, Segel's Machinist: he's got ever so thin for the part.
Opens 25 July in the Us, 5 September in the UK
Neighbors
Nicholas Stoller was going to direct Sex Tape; instead, he took the reins on this one: a battle comedy in which Seth Rogen,...
