Adrianne Palicki Joins "GI Joe 2," Bruce Willis in Talks
Posted: July 2nd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Adrianne Palicki, the star of "Friday Night Lights" and the canceled "Wonder Woman" TV series, has been cast in the upcoming "GI Joe" sequel, called "GI Joe: Cobra Strikes.
She'll be playing Lady Jaye and is joining a cast that includes Channing Tatum as Duke, Dwayne Johnston as Roadblock, Ray Park as Snake Eyes, Byung Hun-lee as Storm Shadow and RZA as Blind Master.
Deadline says that one key role remaining to be cast is that of Joe Colton, the original GI Joe. Several actors are in talks, including Bruce Willis.
The plan is to get the film in front of the cameras as soon as possible, since "Star Trek" has been delayed and Paramount Pictures is in a desperate need to fill the gap with another blockbuster.
We just reported that Disney and Marvel are planning to release the sequel to "Thor" on July 26th, 2013. Deadline has now learned that the studios already have a writer on board.
That writer is Don Payne, one of the credited scribes on the first film. But he has other experience with superhero/comic book films. He also recently re-wrote "Lobo" for Warner Bros, penned "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" and is behind "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer."
Regarding "Thor 2," Chris Hemsworth is locked to reprise the lead role. Director Kenneth Branagh, on the other hand, will not be returning.

The movie, based on the 2002 play The Talking Cure, also stars Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, and Black Swan’s Vincent Cassel.
The film is a look at how the intense relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud gave birth to psychoanalysis. David Cronenberg, who’s best known for his work on Eastern Promises and A History of Violence, directed the new project.

Olivia Wilde Goes Old School Glam For LA Times Magazine
Posted July 1, 2011 3:01 am by Molly Goodson
Olivia Wilde transformed into a blond bombshell for LA Times Magazine. The actress and activist posed in a series of sexy sequins gowns for the shoot, though the accompanying interview focuses largely on Olivia's work in Haiti. These days it seems like Olivia's name is in the news being linked to every single man in Hollywood, with the most recent being Ryan Reynolds, but she also has two movies coming out this Summer. Olivia Wildecostars with Ryan Reynolds in The Change-Up and she'll also appear in Cowboys and Aliens, and her director in that film, John Favreau, gushed about her for the article. Here are highlights from Olivia's interview, which is out in full this weekend:
On balancing work in Haiti and acting: "I was crouched outside this cholera clinic, sitting on a cinder block with my phone [about] to help hand out rice at a refugee camp and figure out how our students can build more classrooms. It was hard for me to be on the ball during that call, but I had to remember that acting is actually my job. Whenever I want to say, 'F--k Hollywood,' I have to remember that the reason I am even useful in Haiti is because I have a job here."
On helping with a documentary about Haiti: "I don’t throw my weight around, because I don’t think I have the weight to throw around yet. . . . I meekly and politely ask if I can throw in my two cents, and I have been so lucky that they’ve brought me into the writing process. I’m always wandering around on set going, 'Where are the writers?'"
