Drew Barrymore to Direct/Produce Young Adult Thriller HEIST SOCIETY

by Jason Barr   Posted: June 30th, 2011

Drew Barrymore has signed on to direct/produce the young adult thriller Heist Society for Warner Bros. Based on the novel by Ally Carter, Heist Society tells the story of Katarina Bishop, a young woman who embraces her family’s history of cat burglary and general thievery so as to clear her father’s name in a case regarding a mobster’s missing art collection. Barrymore will re-team with Whip It scribe Shauna Cross who will pen the adaptation under Barrymore’s supervision.
In addition to Heist Society, Barrymore is also attached to direct the adaptation of Liz Tuccillo’s novel How To Be Single for New Line. It is believed that the director will take on Heist Society after wrapping How To Be Single. For more on the former, check out a synopsis of Carter’s novel after the jump.  http://collider.com/drew-barrymore-heist-society/99793/


Brooklyn Decker Learns WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING

by Jason Barr    Posted: June 30th, 2011

Swimsuit model-turned actress Brooklyn Decker (Just Go With It) will join director Kirk Jones’ (Everybody’s Fine) adaptation of the bestselling book What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Decker joins a cast that already features Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, and Isla Fisher. Per Deadline, the actress will make a turn as the wife of an older man who makes carrying and giving birth to twins seem like a breeze, and is hated by her peers as a result. The pic begins shooting this summer and is aiming for a May 11th, 2012 release. In addition What to Expect, Decker also stars alongside Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Kitsch, Josh Pence, and Rihanna in director Peter Berg’s Battleship which is scheduled to hit theaters the week after What to Expect on May 18th. http://collider.com/brooklyn-decker-what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting/99783/



Vince Vaughn Reunites with Ben Stiller for Akiva Schaffer’s NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 30th, 2011

dodgeball-movie-image-ben-stiller-vince-vaughn-slice-01
Vince Vaughn will reunite with Ben Stiller in Akiva Schaffer’s sci-fi comedy Neighborhood Watch.  According to THR, the plot revolves around a group of suburban dads that use a “neighborhood watch” as a cover to get some away-time from their families.  However, the ruse becomes complicated when the group uncovers a plan to destroy the world.  I will start praying that Vaughn and Stiller don’t reprise their roles as Fast-Talking-Wiseguy-Who-Gets-Humiliated and Timid-Neurotic-Guy, respectively.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg wrote the most recent draft of the script.  Vaughn recently signed on to co-star in Lay the Favorite and he’s circling the comedies 2 Guns and Insane Laws.  The actor was recently seen in Ron Howard’s The Dilemma playing Fast-Talking-Wiseguy-Who-Gets-Humiliated.

Matthew Fox and Ed Harris Exit WORLD WAR Z

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 30th, 2011

It’s debatable whether or not Matthew Fox and Ed Harris were ever truly signed on to co-star in Marc Forster’s adaptation of Max Brooks’ World War Z, but whether they were on board or simply in negotiations, neither actor will be in the movie.  Vulture reports that Fox won’t be in the flick due to a scheduling conflict with Rob Cohen’s I, Alex Cross (Fox is playing the film’s villain).  It’s unknown why Harris opted out of WWZ, but now the production is scrambling to find two affordable but recognizable actors to fill the roles.  Shooting is already underway and the producers are having actors read in both Los Angeles and London.
Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel, which examines the world post-Zombie apocalypse.  The film stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Anthony Mackie, Julia Levy-Boeken, and James Badge Dale.  World War Z is slated to open next year.

Possible Synopsis for Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 30th, 2011

A synopsis for Ridley Scott’s mysterious sci-fi flick Prometheus may have leaked online.  Details on the film have been kept under wraps to the point where there’s still confusion over how much of it is an Alien prequel and how much is its own beast.  At this point, the consensus seems to be that it is a prequel to Alien, but it’s outside the mold of the franchise to date.  This synopsis sheds some light on how Prometheus could be both an Alien prequel and not an Alien-prequel.  Keep in mind that that this could just be elaborate fan fiction from a guy (or gal) with too much free time deciding to take what disparate elements we think we know and build it into a convincing synopsis.
Hit the jump to read the synopsis and my thoughts on it.

***John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Robert Patrick and Ray Stevenson Join Billy Bob Thornton’s JAYNE MANSFIELD’S CAR ***Anna Kendrick and Natalie Martinez Join END OF WATCH Starring Jake Gyllenhaal ***Matthew Fox and Ed Harris Join WORLD WAR Z

John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Robert Patrick and Ray Stevenson Join Billy Bob Thornton’s JAYNE MANSFIELD’S CAR

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: June 14th, 2011

Billy Bob Thornton hasn’t directed a feature film since 2001’s Daddy and Them. Well, last November Thornton broke the news to us that he was once again stepping back into the director’s chair on a film he co-wrote with his writing partner Tom Epperson called Jayne Mansfield’s Car. Now it looks like Thornton is ready to start shooting on the project, as he’s secured funding and has filled out his cast with John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Robert Patrick, Ray Stevenson (Thor) and John Patrick Amedori (The Butterfly Effect) joining previously announced Robert Duvall.
Deadline reports that AR Films is funding the project, which is set to start shooting on June 22nd in Georgia. The story revolves around a guy whose wife leaves him for an Englishman and moves away to England. 20 or 30 years later, in 1969, the wife dies but wishes to be returned to Alabama where she grew up, so the English family meets—and clashes with—the original family that she abandoned. While Thornton’s All the Pretty Horses left much to be desired, Sling Blade was a bit of a masterwork. Hopefully he can recapture that magic with this southern tale. http://collider.com/john-hurt-kevin-bacon-jayne-mansfields-car/96415/


Anna Kendrick and Natalie Martinez Join END OF WATCH Starring Jake Gyllenhaal

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: June 14th, 2011

Anna Kendrick (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) and Natalie Martinez (Death Race) are in talks to star in the gritty cop drama End of Watch. Directed by David Ayers (Street Kings), the two will join a bald-headed Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña. Ayers directs from a script that he wrote, which centers on the friendship between two seasoned police officers in Los Angeles. Variety reports that the actresses will play the love interests of Gyllenhaal and Peña, though doesn’t state which actress is paired up with which actor.
Ayer is no stranger to cop dramas, having made his directorial debut with 2005’s Harsh Times. He also penned the screenplays for The Fast and the Furious, Training Day and S.W.A.T. I’m a big fan of Kendrick’s, and Gyllenhaal can be great with good material, so hopefully everything comes together for End of Watch. http://collider.com/anna-kendrick-end-of-watch-natalie-martinez/96410/



Matthew Fox and Ed Harris Join WORLD WAR Z

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 14th, 2011

With production set to begin this month, Marc Forster’s adaptation of Max Brooks’ World War Z continues to fill out its cast.  Bloody Disgusting reports that Matthew Fox is now on board while Deadline adds that Ed Harris is in talks to join him.  The zombie-action flick also stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos (The Killing), Anthony Mackie, Julia Levy-Boeken, and James Badge Dale.  BD reports that Fox will play “Parajumper” while Harris role is currently unknown.  The book takes place ten years after a zombie apocalypse but since Paramount sees the property as a tentpole, it will be repurposed into a PG-13 action movie.
Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel.  Fox is also attached to play the villain in Rob Cohen’s adaptation of I, Alex Cross starring Tyler Perry.  Harris is playing John McCain in Game Change and he’s attached to co-star with Aaron Eckhart in Neil Labute’s The Geography of Hope. http://collider.com/world-war-z-matthew-fox-ed-harris/96353/

First Trailer for Mark Ruffalo’s Directorial Debut SYMPATHY FOR DELICIOUS
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 23rd, 2011
The first trailer for Mark Ruffalo’s directorial debut Sympathy for Delicious has been released. The film tells the story of a paralyzed DJ (played by the film’s scribe, Christopher Thornton) who somehow acquires the ability to heal, though is unable to make himself walk. Judging from the trailer, Ruffalo definitely shows some promise as a director. Factor in the top-notch cast, and I’m very interested in seeing how this film plays out. The flick premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January where it took home the Special Jury Prize.


Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Sympathy for Delicious stars Mark Ruffalo, Christopher Thornton, Orlando Bloom, Juliette Lewis, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich and John Carroll Lynch.

Ed Harris has been tapped to play Senator John McCain in HBO’s adaptation of Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s book Game Change, which follows the behind-the-scenes turmoil of the 2008 presidential election. Julianne Moore was previously announced as signing on to play Sarah Palin. Jay Roach (Dinner for Schmucks) is set to direct the flick from a screenplay by Danny Strong. The director/writer duo previously teamed up on HBO’s Recount, which chronicled the fallout of the 2000 presidential election. Now that McCain and Palin are set, who will be chosen to fill out the Democratic Ticket? Hit the jump for a synopsis of Game Change.

Josh Radnor to Direct and Star in LIBERAL ARTS With Elizabeth Olsen
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 23rd, 2011
Fresh off his directorial debut HappyThankYouMorePlease, which premiered at Sundance to highly positive reviews, How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor is planning on stepping behind the camera once more for the indie film Liberal Arts. Radnor also wrote the flick and THR reports that he will star alongside Sundance darling Elizabeth Olsen. The younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth broke out in a big way at this year’s Sundance Film Festival with her performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene.


Liberal Arts tells the story of a 35-year-old whose yearning for his glory days of college is intensified when he strikes up a romance with a 19-year-old college student over a shared love of music and literature. The man is busy coming to terms with his age and responsibilities, while the young girl’s immaturity puts a strain on their relationship. The whole thing kind of reminds me of 2006’s underrated The Last Kiss starring Zach Braff. Radnor will shoot the film this spring during his hiatus from How I Met Your Mother. Olsen is currently filming Red Lights with Robert De Niro, Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy.

HBO Greenlights Comedy Pilot SPRING/FALL Starring Tea Leoni
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 23rd, 2011
HBO has greenlit Spring/Fall, a half-hour comedy pilot led by Tea Leoni. The series is set in the New York fashion world: Leoni plays “half of a dysfunctional partnership between two women with different approaches to career, family, and friendship.” Kate Robin (Six Feet Under) wrote the script and will produce with Leoni, Jimmy Miller (The Other Guys), and documentary filmmaker R.J. Cutler (The September Issue). Deadline imparts that the pilot will shoot this June.


Leoni will next be seen in Tower Heist, which opens November 8. Hit the jump for a look how this fits into the overall scope of HBO’s development.

*Diane Keaton and Ed Harris Star in THE LOOK OF LOVE **Daryl Hannah, Tom Sizemore, and Thora Birch to Star in SNUFF

Daryl Hannah, Tom Sizemore, and Thora Birch to Star in SNUFF

by Ramses Flores    Posted: February 8th, 2011

Daryl Hannah, Tom Sizemore, and Thora Birch will star in director Fabien Martorell’s upcoming adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel SnuffThe Cult [via AICN] reports that Hannah has been cast as Cassie Wright, an aging porn star who is planning to film a 600-man gangbang as her last film.  Sizemore will be playing Mr. 600, the man who is responsible for introducing Cassie to the business.  Meanwhile, Birch (who happens to be the daughter of two porn stars in real life) will play the role of a “talent wrangler” named Sheila.
I still have yet to read Palahniuk’s book, but I’m always happy to see Hannah, Sizemore, and Birch getting more prominent roles.  All three actors are, in my opinion, underrated and underused.  Hit the jump to read the plot synopsis for the Palahniuk novel.

***Jason Statham on the Possibility of CRANK 3 and the Status of THE EXPENDABLES 2 ***J.J. Abrams Discusses the Possibility of STAR TREK 2 in 3D ***7 Movie Clips from Peter Weir’s THE WAY BACK

Jason Statham on the Possibility of CRANK 3 and the Status of THE EXPENDABLES 2

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: January 14th, 2011

Earlier today I got to interview Jason Statham as CBS Films is junketing his next movie The Mechanic (which is a welcome addition to Statham’s ass kicking resume) here in Los Angeles.  As a fan of his work over the past decade, it was really cool to finally ask him some questions about how he chooses his projects and just to hear him talk about making movies.  And while I’ll have the entire conversation online the week of release (January 28), I wanted to post two highlights tonight: what he said about Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables 2 and if he thinks a Crank 3 will ever happen.  Hit the jump for what he had to say:
If you’re a fan of Crank and Crank: High Voltage, Statham doesn’t sound confident that we’re going to see a Crank 3 as the second one didn’t do as well as the first one.  He said:
“It’s a shame the last one didn’t do that well. I think the first one had a little bit more success and usually if you do a sequel, it usually has to in some ways take a little bit more money than the first one.”
As a huge fan of the first two Crank films, I’d love to see a third film.  But if they don’t make another Crank, perhaps Neveldine/Taylor and Statham can create a new character…
But while we are probably not going to get another sequel to Crank, Statham sounded very confident that The Expendables 2 is going to move forward much sooner than many thought.  When I asked him what he’s getting ready to film this year, he told me this is the first time he has nothing scheduled in years.  I then asked if Expendables 2 is what he was waiting on.  He said yes.
While I was unsure that The Expendables 2 would move forward that fast, Statham said, “I’m very positive that it will be going.”
Of course, who really knows what’s up with The Expendables 2, but with Statham one of the stars of the franchise, since he hasn’t booked another gig, perhaps the movie is going to be filming much sooner than we all thought.
Here’s the part of the roundtable interview that covered Crank and Expenables.  More with Statham soon.
-
Collider: I’m a big fan of your pairings with Neveldine/Taylor, I’m curious, when you think of the Crank movies, what’s the first thing that comes to your head and do you ever think there’ll be a third?
Jason Statham: It’s a shame the last one didn’t do that well. I think the first one had a little bit more success and usually if you do a sequel, it usually has to in some ways take a little bit more money than the first one.
Well the second one is just balls up crazy.
Statham: Yeah, it was absolutely nuts, which reflects exactly who those two are. I don’t know, whether we’ll do another one? Who knows? I just know we had a great…working with those two guys is not like working with anybody else. I mean, they are absolutely mad as hatters. And Neveldine, moved to the country not so long ago, and has been living a different kind of life. I don’t know how plugged in he is to doing a third one.
Well they’re directing Ghost Rider 2 right now, so they’re clearly back in the game.
Statham: We’re always in touch. We always mention the idea of, shall we do another one, I don’t know.
Have you heard about a sequel to The Expendables?
Statham: Yes I have heard about a sequel and I’d be the first to say yes to a phone call from Sly. I mean, we spoke about it as soon as the movie started to do really well and he says, you know, it would be great to do this again, and if there’s anyone who can do a good sequel it’s Sly Stallone! He’s done a fair amount. Yeah, we had a good time. It’s something I’d like to repeat.
How far out do you plan for your career?  Are you thinking, I’ve got films lined up all in 2011, I’ve got four things, or are you sort of like, I take one project at a time and that’s as far as I’m going to look?
Statham: Sometimes you can get kind of chopped up with it. This is the first period in several years now that for the next few months I’m not doing anything. Normally come January the last three years, I’ve always had something in front of me. The trouble is, once you sign on to do a movie, there’s always an aspect of that, that you might miss something else, so.. The most I’ve had is a couple of movies in front of me, but now I’m just waiting for Stallone’s next film, The Expendables 2.
There’s been a lot of conjecture that, ‘it’s definitely going, that it might be going’…
Statham: It’s more than likely, yeah. I’m very positive that it will be going.
Oh, so this is what you’re waiting on.
Statham: Yes. Right now.




J.J. Abrams Discusses the Possibility of STAR TREK 2 in 3D

by Jason Barr    Posted: January 14th, 2011

Via our interview with J.J. Abrams earlier in the week, we found out that the writer/director/producer was unsure whether or not he would return to helm the sequel to 2009’s Star Trek as he has yet to check out any pages from Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof, and Bob Orci’s script.  With that in mind, director’s chair or not, he confirmed in a recent interview that Paramount has approached him about releasing the sequel in 3D.  When Vulture asked if the studio had mentioned the prospect of 3D to him, he responded with a simple “Yup,” before explaining:
“I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I’ve also never run to the movies because something’s in 3-D. [As for Trek], as soon as I read the script, if it says, “Somebody pushes a weapon toward the camera in a menacing way,” and we think, “That’d be better in 3-D!”… I dunno.”
While the thought of studios wanting to release blockbuster films like Star Trek 2 in 3D is hardly a surprising one, I think Abrams’ open-minded sentiments toward the technology make a lot of sense.  If 3D can add to the overall atmosphere and presentation of a film, great.  But, in and of itself, it’s not going to make a film worth seeing.  3D feelings aside, Star Trek 2 is currently slated for a June 29th, 2012 release with shooting set to begin this summer.  More on Abrams’ involvement in the Star Trek sequel (or lack thereof) as it becomes available.




7 Movie Clips from Peter Weir’s THE WAY BACK

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 14th, 2011

the_way_back_slice_02
While Peter Weir’s The Way Back has yet to screen for critics in Atlanta, I’ve heard nothing but positive things about the film.  The Way Back is Weir’s first film in seven years and boasts a strong cast that includes Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Mark Strong, Jim Sturgess, and Saoirse Ronan.  I can’t wait to get a look at the film and now we have seven clips from the flick, which opens next week.  Here’s the synopsis:
Inspired by Slavomir Rawicz’s acclaimed book, The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom as well as other real life accounts, six time Oscar nominated director Peter Weir’s (Witness, Master And Commander, & Dead Poet’s Society) The Way Back is a remarkable adventure story chronicling the escape of a small group of multi-national prisoners from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and their epic life affirming journey over thousands of miles across five hostile countries.

***Tarsem Singh’s IMMORTALS Set for November 11th ***Brendan Fraser and Kristen Scott Thomas to Star in Neil LaBute’s SECONDS OF PLEASURE; Colin Firth and Ed Harris May Co-Star

Tarsem Singh’s IMMORTALS Set for November 11th

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 11th, 2011

Immortals, the new film from The Fall director Tarsem Singh, has set its release date as the easy-to-remember November 11th (11/11/11).  The Greek mythology action flick stars Henry Cavill as Theseus, who, with the help of the gods, must lead his men in battle against the Titans.  The film also stars Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), Kellan Lutz (Twilight), Isabel Lucas (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Stephen Dorff, John Hurt, and Mickey Rourke.
Immortals, which is being released in 3D, will share the weekend with the Adam Sandler comedy Jack and Jill. [Variety]


Brendan Fraser and Kristen Scott Thomas to Star in Neil LaBute’s SECONDS OF PLEASURE; Colin Firth and Ed Harris May Co-Star

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 11th, 2011

When he’s not starring in terrible family films, Brendan Fraser likes to spice things up with forgettable dramas.  Now that he’s not directing hyper-misogynistic movies, director Neil LaBute is content with disposable crap like Lakeview Terrace and the unnecessary remake of Death at a Funeral.  Now the two are teaming up for Seconds of Pleasure, a drama most likely based on LaBute’s book of the same name, which is a collection of short stories.  Deadline reports that Kristen Scott Thomas is also attached and that offers are out to Colin Firth and Ed Harris.  Hopefully, with Seconds of Pleasure, Fraser and LaBute will both get back on track.
Hit the jump for the synopsis of Seconds of Pleasure.
Here’s the synopsis for Neil LaBute’s Seconds of Pleasure [via Amazon]:
Neil LaBute is best known for his controversial films In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbors, and his plays The Mercy Seat and The Shape of Things—which he also adapted for the screen. His short fiction has appeared in The New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar, among others. Now, in his debut collection of stories, he brings to the page his cutting humor and compelling take on the shadowy terrain of the human heart. Seductive and disturbing, the stories in Seconds of Pleasure are not for the faint of heart. Each potent and pithy tale finds men and women exploiting—or at the mercy of—the hidden fault lines that separate them: a woman leaves her family at their vacation home after discovering her husband in a compromising situation in “Time Share”; a middle-aged man obsesses over a scab on the calf of a pretty young girl in “Boo-Boo”; and a vain Hollywood actor gets his comeuppance in “Soft Target.” Infused with LaBute’s trademark wit and black humor, Seconds of Pleasure unleashes his imagination in stories that offer unflinching insight into our very human shortcomings and impure urges with shocking candor.

***2011 Oscar Preview

2011 Oscar Preview

by Adam Chitwood    Posted:November 26th, 2010

Best Supporting Actor

Frontrunners:
Christian Bale – The Fighter
Geoffrey Rush – The King’s Speech
Likely to be nominated:
Mark Ruffalo – The Kids Are All Right
Sam Rockwell – Conviction
Michael Douglas – Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Outside contenders:
Armie Hammer – The Social Network
Andrew Garfield – The Social Network
Ed Harris – The Way Back
This could finally be Bale’s year, after incredible performances in just about every role he takes on (I think we can safely pretend like Terminator: Salvation never happened now, right?). His work in The Fighter has everyone talking, and at the moment this category looks like his to lose.  However, Rush could very well pull an upset. He hasn’t won since Shine and his role in The King’s Speech seems right up the Academy’s alley. Douglas’ cancer scare will more than likely have the Academy thinking of him, though whether he gets nominated for Wall Street or Solitary Man is a bit of a toss-up. Given the nostalgia for the role, and the resonance with today’s economic times, Wall Street may be the better bet. Rockwell does some great work in Conviction, but he most likely has a better role in him somewhere down the line that the Academy will reward him for (that guilt for snubbing him for Moon has to catch up sometime).  Hammer and Garfield turned in fine performances in Social Network, but they may be a bit too young. However, the Supporting categories always seem to be where the out-of-left-field nominee comes from every year, so Hammer or Garfield (or even Timberlake) could still be a possibility.

Christian Bale Covers 'Esquire' December 2010

Christian Bale Covers 'Esquire' December 2010
Christian Bale is “funny and sometimes testy” in Esquire magazine’s December 2010 cover interview. Check out what the 36-year-old The Fighter actor had to share:
On not wanting to talk about his family or personal life: “Look, I’ve got incredible pride for my family. I’ve absolutely fallen into that cliché of a dad who could just happily talk about my daughter endlessly. But it’s not what I’m about in terms of being an actor. I don’t want people to know about that…I don’t want people to know me….Because that buggers up my job. Because if you know something about somebody, it gets in the way of just watching the guy as the character.”
On an actor he admires: “Chris Farley was just phenomenal. Beverly Hills Ninja will always remain one of my tops. I have watched that movie. One time I sat down and watched it two nights in a row, and cried with laughter both times. The guy just was a phenomenon, and is missed dearly in my household.”
On what he would’ve done if he weren’t an actor: “I think I probably would have tried to experience my own stories in the way my father did — the sort of travel, the randomness of life, educating himself through experiences. I think I get that partially through acting, but you have to make an effort to be in an unprotected environment because everyone thinks you’re a completely incapable idiot who couldn’t possibly brush his teeth without an assistant. You have to make an effort in order to be able to actually experience the country that you’re in.”
