by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted: March 25th, 2011
Writer/director Max Winkler’s feature debut Ceremony opens April 8 and we’ve got 4 clips and the trailer. Starring Uma Thurman, Michael Angarano, Lee Pace, Rebecca Mader and Reece Thompson, Ceremony tells the story of a young man (Angarano) who falls in love with an older man’s fiancée (Thurman) while spending a weekend at the older man’s beachside estate. The film premiered to positive reception at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall.
I caught a screening earlier this week and thought it was a great debut and I’m very excited to see what Winkler does next. Hit the jump to watch the clips and trailer and look for my video interviews with the cast the week of April 8.

Talks With Viggo Mortensen for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Break Down
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 25th, 2011
It’s no secret that Viggo Mortensen has been in talks with Universal to star in the fairy-tale update Snow White and the Huntsman for quite some time now. Well, it looks like the reason talks have taken so long is that the two parties are having trouble coming to an agreement, with Heat Vision reporting that talks with the actor completely fell apart last night. Mortensen is reportedly asking for $8 million plus gross participation for his work in the film, with Universal reportedly none too happy with the demand.
The report states that talks all but disintegrated once before, explaining Mortensen’s flirtation with the villain role in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, but the two parties came back to the table. Now, talks have frayed once again and Universal is moving on for the moment. Hit the jump for more.

While Jennifer Lawrence is now set in the lead role of Katniss in Gary Ross’ adaptation of The Hunger Games, producers are currently looking to fill out the other lead roles in the cast. Apparently Lionsgate is testing a number of actors today for the two male lead roles in the film: Peeta, a boy from Katniss’ town who reveals his love for her as the Hunger Games (life-or-death games played out in the post-apocalyptic future) begin, and Gale, a character who teaches Katniss the “way of the hunter” while she’s in the games herself.
Actors testing for Peeta include the previously mentioned Hunter Parrish (Weeds), Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are All Right) and Evan Peters (Kick-Ass). Testing for Gale are Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song), David Henrie (The Wizards of Waverly Place) among others. Hit the jump to see the full list of actors testing for each part.
