Trade Round-Up: Mike Myers To Shout In British Accent

· Further proving that his desire for camp knows no bounds, Desperate Housewives mastermind Marc Cherry is working with Chucky creator Don Mancini on a "suspense drama" pilot for ABC tentatively titled Kill/Switch. One thing is clear: Cherry's about to produce television's next great, overrated guilty pleasure! [Variety]
· Renee Zellweger continues to wash that gay-seeming ex-hubby right out of her hair, will star in the Tom Cruise-produced The Eye, a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong thriller Jian gui. [THR]
· Every so often, Variety gets a little loopy and uncorks a headline worthy of celebrated wordsmith Ted Casablanca. Today is of one of those days: "Pix get das boot: Titles tripped by tapped-out Teutons." [Variety]
· Today Disney officially cuts ties to the Weinsteins, sending the brothers and their infant, but ambitious, company to suckle at someone else's billion-dollar teat. We didn't realize how disturbing the image of a nursing Harvey Weinstein was until we actually typed that last sentence. Please accept our apologies for scarring you on a Friday. [THR]
· Mike Myers will star as Who drummer Keith Moon in a biopic produced by Roger Daltrey. You know what that means: Myers gets to do yet another British accent. Puncture your eardrums with a meat thermometer now and save yourself the eventual, much more acute pain. [Variety]
