Tyler Perry is the highest paid man in entertainment according to yet another list in the endless parade of Forbes lists. He earned $130 million between May of 2010 and May of 2011, ranking him ahead of Jerry Bruckheimer, Steven Spielberg and Simon Cowell. In a bit of gender irony, Perry collected some of that cash by dressing up as a woman: Madea.

Walt Disney Studios' much-anticipated big-screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer has been shut down, according to a source close to the production.

It’s not the subplot to a Jerry Bruckheimer movie: drug dealers in Mexico really are kidnapping computer whizzes and forcing them to hack into bank systems and program credit card fraud scams in order to acquire additional funds on top of what they haul in from selling drugs.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed today that the teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is scheduled to hit theaters with TRON: Legacy on December 17. With both films being released in 3D and IMAX 3D, we assume the teaser will be shown in the format for those specific theaters and in 2D in conventional theaters.

Leonardo DiCaprio's "Inception" is anything but a sleeper as the thriller opened big with $60.4 million and a No. 1 finish at the weekend boxoffice.

Christopher Nolan is having a fantastic Saturday. Jerry Bruckheimer is not. For the Dark Knight director scored over $21 million on Friday for his original, mind-bending film Inception. (That includes the $3 million brought in from the opening midnight shows.) The Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, could now earn $60 million for its three-day opening frame. That’s quite a contrast to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Disney’s failed attempt to recreate the magic of The National Treasure franchise. The film from Treasure producer Bruckheimer, director Jon Turteltaub and star Nicolas Cage grossed an estimated $5 million on Friday for a weekend take that may just hit $15 million. The film opened on Wednesday but even those two days of grosses won’t help the film get much past $20 million for the five-day period.

Not that Jerry Bruckheimer ever has any shortage of projects in development, but in a new interview with ComingSoon, he talked about the long-rumored "Bad Boys 3" -- and said the screenplay they're working on came from "an idea Will Smith gave us."

Bewitching Italian actress Monica Bellucci will star opposite Nicolas Cage in The Sorcerer's Apprentice for Walt Disney Pictures and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

The Huffington Post now displays two new images from the Jerry Bruckheimer produced, Mike Newell directed PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME. Both pics are of Jake Gyllenhaal, and both sport significant crotch protrusion (oh, come on...like you wouldn't have noticed?!)

Jerry Bruckheimer spoke with MTV News at the junket for his new film, “Confessions of a Shopaholic”. Talking about future projects, he let slip that, while the script is done and Johnny Depp has signed on as Tonto there’s still a little matter of finding the lead.
