First Image from RED LIGHTS Starring Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro
by Matt Goldberg Posted: April 1st, 2011
The first image from the upcoming thriller Red Lights has gone online. Directed by Rodrigo Cortes (Buried), Red Lights stars Sigourney Weaver as a psychologist whose studies in the paranormal lead her to investigate a renowned psychic (Robert De Niro). I don’t want to pull a judgment on this film since I liked Buried and the cast also includes Cillian Murphy and rising star Elizabeth Olsen. However, looking at this photo of De Niro in sunglasses, I can almost hear him phoning it in.

Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth Are Frontrunners for the Two Male Leads in THE HUNGER GAMES
by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 1st, 2011
Just last week, a number of actors were listed as having tested for the two male lead roles in Gary Ross’ adaptation of The Hunger Games. Now, it appears that Josh Hutcherson (The Kids are All Right) and Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song) are the frontrunners for the two male lead roles opposite star Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. Deadline reports that Hutcherson is the leading candidate to take on the role of 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. Hemsworth is apparently inching close to nabbing the role of Gale, Katniss’ hunting partner once the games begin.
Hutcherson was fairly prolific as a child actor, starring in films like Zathura and Bridge to Terabithia. He recently showed his penchant for more dramatic fare in the Best Picture nominee The Kids Are All Right and will be seen in the upcoming Red Dawn remake. Hemsworth (the brother of Chris, the star of Thor), was most recently seen opposite Miley Cyrus in The Last Song.

Lily Collins Nabs Lead Role in Tarsem’s THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE
by Jackson Cresswell Posted: April 1st, 2011
While Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman hit a bit of a snag last week when Viggo Mortensen walked away from the project, Relativity Studio’s rival 3D film, The Brothers Grimm: Snow White locked in Lily Collins to play the fair-skinned main character.
Collins is probably best known for her turn as Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blind Side but according to Hollywood Reporter, Collins “blew away” the suits at Relativity with her audition and is currently in negotiations to star in Snow White after she finishes filming Mortal Instruments. Though The Brothers Grimm: Snow White appears to have scored their lead actress as Huntsman loses their lead actor, the race between the two fairy tale re-tellings is still tight. Hit the jump for more on the two projects. The Brothers Grimm: Snow White is currently set to open on June 29, 2012.
