Craig Bierko to Play Mac in THE THREE STOOGES; Chris Diamantopoulos Is Moe
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 6:44 pm


The Farrelly Brothers-helmed The Three Stooges continues to take shape as both Craig Bierko (Cinderella Man) and Chris Diamantopoulos (Fox’s 24) have officially joined the film’s cast. Deadline reports that Bierko will play the role of Mac, “one of the heavies trying to exploit the Stooges,” whereas Diamantopoulos has officially signed on to play Moe. In addition to Bierko and Diamanatopoulos, The Three Stooges also stars Will Sasso as Curly, Sean Hayes as Larry, Jane Lynch, and Larry David. 20th Century Fox is looking to begin production on The Three Stooges later this month.

Derek Luke and Lindsay Sloane Are SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 7:45 pm


Derek Luke (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Lindsay Sloane (She’s Out of My League) are currently in talks to join Keira Knightley and Steve Carell in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Written/directed by Lorene Scafaria (who penned Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist), the film centers on two neighbors (Knightley and Carell) who decide to go on a road trip to find Carell’s high school love prior to an asteroid ending life on Earth as we know it. Production on Seeking is expected to begin later this month.
Per Variety, Luke’s role would be as Knightley’s ex-boyfriend, a military man who is primed and ready to face the end of the world head on in his bomb shelter. Sloane would play a “friendly waitress who is rolling on Ecstasy as doomsday approaches.” In addition to the already mentioned cast, we previously reported that Adam Brody, Rob Corddry, and William Peterson are also in negotiations to join Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Alex Pettyfer and Matthew Goode in Talks for OVERDRIVE
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 9:55 pm


Two months after his Dune adaptation collapsed, Taken director Pierre Morel has set up his next movie as a producer, the action thriller Overdrive. Variety reports Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four) and Matthew Goode (Leap Year) as “a pair of handsome and adventurous brothers, known for being high-profile car thieves, who travel to the South of France looking for new challenges and come across a tough local crime boss.” Antonio Negret, the Colombian filmmaker who just finished shooting Transit, will direct Overdrive. Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (Wanted) will write the script. The $30 million production should get in front of cameras later this summer for a planned summer 2012 release.

***Lindsay Lohan Might Not Be in GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS After All ***Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen to Star in VERY GOOD GIRLS Alongside Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek ***Alex Pettyfer Will Play Channing Tatum in MAGIC MIKE **Ashton Kutcher to Join TWO AND A HALF MEN

Lindsay Lohan Might Not Be in GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS After All
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 3:18 pm


As of now, the confusion regarding Lindsay Lohan’s status in director Barry Levinson’s Gotti: Three Generations is rivaled only by the confusion regarding her life in general. Back when Nick Cassavetes was still directing, Lohan was in talks to play Gotti’s daughter, Victoria. Then, after Cassavetes’ departure, she dropped out of the film for a hot minutes only to rejoin the project as Gotti Jr.’s wife. Flash forward to the present, and TheWrap reports that Lohan is probably on the outs once again. In an exclusive with Levinson, the director states that “She’s possibly not (in the film) because she’s got her issues, and we also got to write the script, and then we’ll see where it is.” Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the oft-publicized actress…
Regardless of Lohan’s inclusion, Gotti: Three Generations will almost definitely star John Travolta as John Gotti Sr. and Al Pacino as crime family underboss Neil Dellacroce. Levinson also confirms that the film will most likely be in front of cameras by the end of the year.

Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen to Star in VERY GOOD GIRLS Alongside Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 4:05 pm


Dakota Fanning and Sundance breakout Elizabeth Olsen have joined the cast of Very Good Girls alongside Dustin Hoffman, Sissy Spacek and Peter Sarsgaard. Written and to be directed by Namoi Foner (Running on Empty), the film tells the story of two teenage girls in New York City who decide to lose their virginity the summer after they graduate high school. Things get complicated, however, when they both fall for the same charismatic street artist (I hate it when that happens).
Olsen broke out in a big way at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, thanks in part to her harrowing turn in the drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, the creepy trailer for which was just released last week. Variety reports that production on Very Good Girls starts this September.

Alex Pettyfer Will Play Channing Tatum in MAGIC MIKE
by Jason Barr Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 4:55 pm


A couple of weeks ago, we brought you the news that Steven Soderbergh will be directing Magic Mike, a male stripper film inspired by and starring Channing Tatum. Tonight, Deadline confirms that Alex Pettyfer will be playing the role of Channing Tatum alongside, you guessed it, Channing Tatum. Confused yet? Let’s have a quick review: Channing Tatum has a foray into male stripping around the tender age of 19 (pretty standard stuff, right?). He is now, for all intents and purposes, a movie star. Star presence in hand, Tatum pitches the idea for Magic Mike to director Steven Soderbergh who quickly accepts calling it “…one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie.” Now, Tatum will play the lead role of “Mike” a dance/stripper teacher who shows Pettyfer’s character (Tatum’s 19 year-old-stripping self) the dance/stripping ropes.
Hopefully this helps clear up any confusion surrounding Pettyfer’s turn as Tatum in Magic Mike. Penned by Reid Carolin, the film is described as a “story of friendship set in the world of male strippers.” Apparently it takes place during a “wild summer” and lots of “dancing, partying, and women” are involved. Sounds great to me. By Soderbergh’s own previous admission, Saturday Night Fever will be a heavy influence for Magic Mike. Production details for the project are currently undisclosed.

Ashton Kutcher to Join TWO AND A HALF MEN
by Adam Chitwood Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 6:28 pm


It looks like the casting circus surrounding Two and a Half Men is finally over. Sources have confirmed to THR that Ashton Kutcher is putting the final touches on a deal to join the cast of the sitcom, filling the void left by Charlie Sheen after he decided acting sane was too much to ask of him for over $1 million per episode. The deal comes in the wake of Hugh Grant nearly joining the cast, only to pull out at the last minute over concerns about doing 20+ episodes of a TV series every year. No word on how Kutcher will be incorporated into the show, but one source lied that the storyline is “really funny.” I’m just baffled as to how this show is still a thing.

**Isabelle Fuhrman and Alexander Ludwig Round Out the Tributes in THE HUNGER GAMES Cast **Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Christopher Walken Join Colin Farrell in SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS **Ashton Kutcher to Replace Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men" **Alex Pettyfer Joins Channing Tatum as Strippers in "Magic Mike"

Isabelle Fuhrman and Alexander Ludwig Round Out the Tributes in THE HUNGER GAMES Cast
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 8:51 pm


The basic premise behind The Hunger Games is a fight to the death between 24 kids (ages 12-18) — two “tributes” selected from each of the 12 districts of Panem, the dictatorship of the future. Lionsgate has spent the last month steadily rolling out the young cast that will play the kids, saving two of the most important tributes for today’s final announcement. You can gauge their relative importance by their names — known not as “Tribute Boy” and “Tribute Girl,” but rather as Cato and Clove of District 2. Alexander Ludwig (Race to Witch Mountain) will play Cato, Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan) will play Clove. I can’t speak for Ludwig’s talent, but the Fuhrman casting is excellent. She wowed us all in Orphan in 2009, but screen credits since have been minimal (The Cleveland Show?). Fuhrman is perfect for Clove, who is great with a knife and, um… not very nice.
Virtually all of the principal roles are filled: Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, Wes Bentley as Seneca Crane, Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Willow Shields as Primrose, and Paula Malcomson as Mrs. Everdeen. Find a Cinna (perhaps Lenny Kravitz?) and a President Snow, and you’re pretty much set. Director Gary Ross (Seabiscuit) ought to begin production soon to make the planned March 23, 2012 release date. Hit the jump for the official synopsis the full tribute casting rundown.

Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Christopher Walken Join Colin Farrell in SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 9:45 pm

 

Quick — before you read the headline, think of four male actors you’d like to see in a movie together.  Now, less than 2% of you named Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Christopher Walken.  But 14% combined two or more of these actors, and an impressive 37% of your lists included at least one.  This bodes well for Seven Psychopaths, the black comedy which secured Farrell, Rockwell, Rourke, and Walken at the Cannes Film Festival today.  Per Variety, the story centers on “a screenwriter (Farrell) struggling for inspiration for his script, Seven Psychopaths, who gets drawn into the dog kidnapping schemes of his oddball friends (Rockwell and Walken).”  How can you not love a movie that casts Rockwell and Walken as “oddball friends”/dog kidnappers separated by 26 years in age?  Rourke will play a gangster who causes trouble when his dog goes missing.  (Given Rourke’s love of dogs and general flirtation with insanity, he may not know he is in Seven Psychopaths.)
The project reunites Farrell and In Bruges writer/director Martin McDonagh, not to mention In Bruges producers Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, and Tessa Ross.  The ineffable Meghan Ellison (True Grit) is also on board as producer.

**Aaron Johnson Offered Lead in Oliver Stone’s SAVAGES; Johnson and Jude Law in Talks for Joe Wright’s ANNA KARENINA **Garrett Hedlund and Bradley Cooper Rumored for "Daredevil 2" **Director Wants Chris Pine, Shia LaBeouf and Alex Pettyfer for "Preacher" **Robert Pattinson in Talks for "Daredevil" Reboot? **Mickey Rourke Almost Replaced Liam Neeson in "Taken 2"

Aaron Johnson Offered Lead in Oliver Stone’s SAVAGES; Johnson and Jude Law in Talks for Joe Wright’s ANNA KARENINA
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 17th, 2011
Quickly becoming one of the most sought-after young actors at the moment, Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass) has been offered the lead role in two high-profile projects. First up, Deadline reports that Johnson is mulling over one of the two lead roles in director Oliver Stone’s adaptation of the Don Winslow novel Savages. The flick tells the story of two pot-growers whose shared girlfriend gets kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel. Jennifer Lawrence was in talks to take on the role of the girlfriend, but her attachment to The Hunger Games throws her involvement into jeopardy given that both flicks will be shooting this summer.


Variety reports that Johnson and Jude Law are in talks to star in director Joe Wright’s (Atonement) adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s classic tragic love story Anna Karenina. Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) wrote the screenplay and Keira Knightley is set to star. Anna Karenina will shoot this fall, so Johnson could feasibly do both films. Hit the jump for a synopsis of both novels.

Garrett Hedlund and Bradley Cooper Rumored for "Daredevil 2"
Posted: March 17th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Now that David Slade (Twilight Saga: Eclipse, 30 Days of Night) is in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to direct the upcoming "Daredevil" reboot, rumors are starting to circulate regarding who will play the lead role.


We just heard that Slade has already had conversations with his "Eclipse" star Robert Pattinson, but now comes word that there are two other actors vying for the role.


The first is Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy), who recently turned down the chance to play Captain America. The other is Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), who is rumored to be the studio's favorite at the moment. Stay tuned.

Director Wants Chris Pine, Shia LaBeouf and Alex Pettyfer for "Preacher"
Posted: March 17th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


While promoting his "I Am Number Four" overseas, director DJ Caruso confirmed that he's working on the big screen adaptation of the "Preacher" comic book, revealing his dream cast.


Caruso wants Chris Pine (Star Trek) to play Jesse Custer, Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) to play Arseface and Alex Pettyfer (Beastly) to play the Saint of Killers. Caruso previously worked with LaBeouf on "Disturbia" and "Eagle Eye," and with Pettyfer on "I Am Number Four."


"Preacher" revolves around a Texas preacher with immense powers, who teams up with a former girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and sets out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.

Robert Pattinson in Talks for "Daredevil" Reboot?
Posted: March 17th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


We just learned that 20th Century Fox is in negotiations with David Slade (30 Days of Night) to direct the studios upcoming "Daredevil" reboot, which will not be ignoring the events in Ben Affleck's 2003 film.


The new movie will not be Slade's next helming gig; he's currently setting up "The Last Voyage of Demeter." So while there's still time to put the project together, Moviehole is reporting that Slade has already had conversation with his "Twilight Saga: Eclipse" star Robert Pattinson to play the lead role.


As far as the story, the site says: "It's a bit 'Batman Begins.' The bad guy will learn who Daredevil really is and tries to destroy him – but not via the usual methods."

Mickey Rourke Almost Replaced Liam Neeson in "Taken 2"
Posted: March 17th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Deadline has learned that producer Luc Besson was considering replacing Liam Neeson in the "Taken" sequel due to the actor's request to take some time off from acting. But who could replace Neeson? Apparently Besson's list included such names as Mickey Rourke, Ralph Fiennes, Ray Winstone, Sean Bean and Jason Isaacs.


The good news is that Besson and Neeson recently got together and worked out a plan that satisfies both of them. Neeson will get to take a break and production will begin at the end of 2011 or the beginning of 2012.


"Taken 2" is written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen (Transporter, The Karate Kid), and will be directed by "Transporter 3" helmer Olivier Megaton.

by Ramses Flores    Posted: February 24th, 2011

CBS Films has given us 5 clips for their upcoming film, Beastly.  The film – directed by Daniel Barnz (Phoebe in Wonderland) – is a modern reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, which places the classic tale in a high school setting.  Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number 4) stars as a popular handsome high school student that finds himself turned into a beast, who then has one year to find someone who can love him so that he can reverse the curse.  The film also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Neil Patrick Harris, and Mary-Kate Olsen.  Beastly is set to open on March 4.  Hit the jump to watch the clips:
For all our previous Beastly coverage, click here.  And here’s the official synopsis:
Seventeen year old Kyle (Alex Pettyfer) is the spoiled, shallow and incredibly popular prince of his high school kingdom. Entirely captivated and empowered by his own physical appearance, Kyle foolishly chooses Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen) as his latest target for humiliation. But things are not as they seem and the disgraced Kendra, a witch masquerading as a high school student, enacts the perfect revenge. She transforms Kyle into someone as unattractive on the outside as he is on the inside. Now he has one year to find someone to love him, or he will remain “Beastly” forever. To break the spell, Kyle must discover a beauty who can see past the surface. His only hope, a quiet classmate he never noticed named Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens), may be his best chance to prove that love is never ugly.
