Sam Claflin and Alicia Vikander in Talks for THE SEVENTH SON
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 31st, 2011
Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures reportedly offered Alex Pettyfer and Jennifer Lawrence the parts of Tom and Alice in The Seventh Son — the upcoming adaptation of the first book in the Last Apprentice series — but they passed on the roles. Since then, the studios cast out a wide net: Sam Claflin, Caleb Landry-Jones, James Frecheville for Tom; Alicia Vikander, Imogen Poots, Felicity Jones, Gabrielle Wild, and Dianna Agron for Alice. Variety reports that Claflin and Vikander have emerged from the young Hollywood scuffle to enter negotiations to star. Claflin is poised for a breakout as the effective Orlando Bloom replacement in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Vikander is a Swedish actress seeking her first credit in Hollywood — WB and Legendary considered her earlier in the year for a role in the sequel to Clash of the Titans.
From a creative standpoint, Vikander may have lucked out. Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, and their ten combined Oscar nominations are in talks to play the Spook and Mother Malkin, respectively, for director Sergey Bodrov (Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan). Joseph Delaney’s young adult novels center on “a 13-year-old who’s the seventh son of a seventh son and learns about wizardry from a forbidding spook.” Read the synopsis for Revenge of the Witch, the first in the series, after the break.

James Marsden is Charles Manson in "The Dead Circus"
Posted: March 31st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Palermo Pictures is aiming to begin filming "The Dead Circus" this summer and is currently speaking to James Marsden (X-Men), Michael C Hall ("Dexter") and Melissa Leo (The Fighter) to star.
The film is a fictitious story about the actual mysterious death of "I Fought the Law" singer Bobby Fuller. His song became a hit in 1966, but a week after, the 23-year-old singer was found dead. The death was ruled a suicide even though his body was battered, with gasoline poured down his throat.
In the drama, a grieving screenwriter (still to be cast) plunges into a crusade to solve the mystery of Fuller's death. Leo will play a Manson Family matriarch who comes out of hiding five years after the murder to reveal to the writer that the answer to his questions might be found in 16 mm snuff films buried in Death Valley. Marsden will play Charles Manson. Hall will play a corrupt, wheelchair-bound manager of the dead musician.
