Nicolas Cage and John Travolta May Re-Team for Two Thrillers
Posted: March 25th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
It's been fifteen years since Nicolas Cage and John Travolta appeared in "Face/Off" together. NY Mag is now reporting that the two actors are planning to re-unite in two new independent thrillers.
The first will likely be "Shrapnel," that Evan Dougherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) wrote. It follows a former Bosnian soldier who seeks vengeance against the American who badly wounded him by disguising a deadly war game as a friendly backwoods hunting trip. The script ended up on the 2008 Black List of best un-produced screenplays. The plan is to begin filming in June.
The other project is "Sea Trial," based on Frank De Felitta's novel. The story revolves around a couple going on a romantic cruise that ends up a cruise through hell. The project is still looking for financing. The script is written by De Felitta's son Raymond.

"The Bourne Legacy" Lead Down to Six Actors
Posted: March 25th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Universal Pictures is in the middle of casting the lead in "The Bourne Legacy," which is a Tony Gilroy-directed spin-off that will focus on another assassin and not Jason Bourne.
The studio has been considering a large number of your actors, but Deadline is now reporting that the list has been narrowed to just a few names.
Joel Edgerton (The Thing), Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia!), Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy) and Luke Evans (Clash of the Titans) are all set to test for the role next month. Meanwhile, other actors like Shia LaBeouf and Taylor Kitsch (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) are also being considered, but do not have to test.
And it looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is no longer being considered, despite the actor expressing interest in the role. "That would be amazing if that were true, but it's unfortunately not," he recently told Extra.

"Child's Play" Remake To Shoot This Year
Posted: March 25th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
There have been plans to remake "Child's Play" since 2007, but MGM and Universal Pictures couldn't come to an agreement since MGM owns the original film and Universal owns the sequels.
Now comes word that all the issues have been worked out and MGM will move forward with a remake that has already been written by Don Mancini, who also wrote all the previous "Chucky" films. Plus, Brad Dourif is returning to voice the title character.
Production is said to begin later this year and the movie has been described as more of a reboot, with a darker tone and less comedic elements.
"After having successfully mined the horror-comedy aspects of this concept over the course of 'Bride of Chucky' and 'Seed of Chucky,' the fans are really telling us that they want it to be scary again," Mancini previously said. "Doing the remake just provides us with a really good opportunity to [do that]."

Nicolas Cage and John Travolta May Re-Team for SHRAPNEL and SEA TRIAL
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 25th, 2011
It’s been almost fifteen years since Face/Off, and Nicolas Cage and John Travolta are looking at not one but two indie thrillers where they can compete to chew the most scenery. Vulture reports that the actors may re-team on Shrapnel, which is about “a former Bosnian soldier who seeks vengeance against the American who badly wounded him by disguising a deadly war game as a friendly backwoods hunting trip.” I wonder if Cage and Travolta are arguing over who gets to play the Bosnian and put on the most atrocious accent.
Evan Dougherty’s script for Shrapnel was on the 2008 Black List (a list of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood) and had John McTiernan attached to direct. However, last October McTiernan was thrown in jail for perjury in the Anthony Pellicano Hollywood wiretap case. He’s currently out on bail and appealing the sentence. Filming on Shrapnel is set to begin in June, but Vulture doesn’t mention if McTiernan is still attached.
Hit the jump to learn about the other project Cage and Travolta are considering.

Five New Posters for THOR [Updated Yet Again]
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 25th, 2011
Marvel has released two character posters for Thor. The posters are simply the slices of a previously released character banner made into individual images. However, if Anthony Hopkins’ giant Odin-mug staring you down doesn’t make audiences want to see Thor, nothing will. In a related story, nothing will want to make audiences see Thor. [Update: There is now also a poster for Idris Elba's character Heimdall, which you can check out after the jump.] [2nd Update: And now there's one of Natalie Portman's character Jane Foster. I should have just been patient and waited until they were all released. Anyway, I've added the new poster after the jump.] [3rd Update: Now there's a poster of Jaimie Alexander as Sif. Who wants to take bets on how many more posters there will be before the day is over?]
Hit the jump to check out the posters. Thor stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore. The film opens in 3D on May 6th.

First Trailer for THE THREE MUSKETEERS
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 25th, 2011
The first trailer for The Three Musketeers has gone online and it is a doozy. This is The Three Musketeers as only director Paul W.S. Anderson could make it. And that way is incredibly stupid. While I won’t hold up the 1993 version as a piece of brilliant modern cinema, it at least felt like a good, old-fashioned adventure movie that wasn’t embarrassed by its source material. Watching the trailer for this new version try so hard to be bad-ass and cool just makes me sad. I half-expected one of the characters to turn directly to the camera and shout, “Classic literature, motherfucker!” and then tossing a 3D book into the audience and the book explodes. I suppose having one of the characters solemnly utter a line like “Only we can prevent the coming apocalypse,” will have to do.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film stars Logan Lerman, Milla Jovovich, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Mads Mikkelson, Gabriella Wilde, Juno Temple, Orlando Bloom, and Christoph Waltz. The Three Musketeers opens in 3D on October 14th.

Confirmed: Mila Kunis Joins James Franco in OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL as Theodora
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 25th, 2011
Last month, it was reported that Mila Kunis was set to join James Franco in director Sam Raimi’s Oz, the Great and Powerful. Today, Variety confirmed Kunis’ casting, announcing that the actress will take on the role of Theodora (aka The Wicked Witch of the West). In this prequel to The Wizard of Oz, Franco will portray a traveling salesman and illusionist who is whisked away to Oz in a hot air balloon, landing in the middle of a battle between three sisters for control of the land. His character eventually becomes the Wizard we know from the 1939 film.
Theodora is initially a good witch, alongside sister Glinda, but is convinced by bad witch Evanora to switch sides after being jilted by Franco’s character. Theodora and Evanora then set out on a quest to rule Oz themselves. David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit-Hole) recently performed a rewrite on the script for Disney. The studio is now searching for actresses to play the other two witches in the film, with Olivia Wilde, Amy Adams, Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightley and Rebecca Hall all under consideration.
