Three character posters have gone online for David Gordon Green’s upcoming swords-and-sorcery stoner comedy Your Highness. I loved the red-band trailer for the film and while these character posters are somewhat bland, I’m still interested in seeing this bizarre mash-up of buddy-stoner comedies with fantasy flicks like Krull. For those who haven’t seen the trailer (seriously, check it out), the story centers on a lazy prince (Danny McBride) who gets dragged along on a quest to rescue his brother’s bride-to-be from an evil wizard.
Hit the jump to check out the poster. The film also stars James Franco, Zooey Deschanel, and Natalie Portman. Your Highness opens April 8th.

Logan Marshall-Green Lands Lead Role in Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 14th, 2011
With filming set to begin later this month, Ridley Scott is rounding out the rest of his cast for his upcoming sci-fi flick Prometheus. Logan Marshall-Green (Devil, TV’s 24 and The O.C.) is the latest addition to the cast that now includes Noomi Rapace in the starring role, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Rafe Spall, Idris Elba, Sean Harris and Kate Dickie. Deadline reports that Marshall-Green is taking on one of the lead roles and will be portraying a crewman on the ship who is also the love interest for Rapace’s character.
An altogether original film spawned from development on prequel to Scott’s Alien, plot details on Prometheus are being very closely guarded. The original script by Jonathan Spaihts was subsequently rewritten by Damon Lindelof. Prometheus is slated for release on June 3rd, 2012.

The newest cast addition to J.T. Petty’s supernatural project, Hellbenders, is Clifton Collins Jr. (NBC’s The Event). Hellbenders, based on a graphic novel written by Petty, is about a group of demonologists in Brooklyn battling the forces of evil. Variety reports that the versatile Collins will join Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption) and Dan Fogler (Take Me Home Tonight) in the horror/comedy written and directed by Petty. Earlier this year, Petty also sold a spec script to Sony entitled Inherit the Earth, based off the comic Zombies vs Robots. The 3D Hellbenders will start filming next week and is being produced through Circle of Confusion. Hit the jump for more info on the project.
