Straight from Cinema Blend's fiercely independent entertainment reporters.
Steve Carell And Toni Collette Reunite For The Way, Way Back It worked extremely well when Steve Carell and Toni Collette were paired up as part of the ensemble cast that made Little Miss Sunshine, so it's not hard to see why Oscar winners Jim Rash and Nat Faxon would want the actors for their directorial debut. Bennett Miller And Francis Lawrence Rumored To Direct The Hunger Games Sequel While Lawrence has a number of projects on his plate but would probably jump at the chance to direct Catching Fire, Miller is more of a question mark. The filmmaker is currently in pre-production on Foxcatcher, a movie that he has been developing for years now that already has Steve Carell and Channing Tatum attached Emily Blunt Talks Learning To Be Funny And Building Chemistry In Salmon Fishing In The Yemen I caught up with Blunt a few weeks ago to talk primarily about Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, how she built her clipped, prim character and how the film's humor took her by surprise. But we also talked about her adjustment to improv and intimate filmmaking in Your Sister's Sister, and how Segel and director Nicholas Stoller gave her a major role in developing the script for The Five Year Engagement Taken Director Pierre Morel Boards Action Thriller Bastille Day Penned by Andrew Baldwin, the story follows “a young American artist living in Paris and a washed-up CIA agent who are thrown together and tasked with diverting an imminent attack on the city,” the trade reports. So it’s Live Free or Die Hard in Paris, with – no doubt – Liam Neeson taking the role of the CIA operative The Grim Reaper May Return For Bill & Ted 3 One of the key players in Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey was the Grim Reaper, played by William Sadler. If not for the Reaper’s inability to best Bill and Ted at various games, including Clue (“I said Plum!” “You said Mustard!”), Battleship, and Twister, the duo would not have been granted a second chance at life and the opportunity to thwart the Evil Robot Us’es. Seth Meyers' Alone For The Holidays Hires Director Anne Fletcher Penned for Fox 2000, the original comedy titled Alone For The Holidays, is expected to go into production this Fall with aims to open in the thick of yuletide 2013. Unfortunately plot details are being closely guarded at this point. All we know is that Meyers' funny flick is set in New York City during Christmas time. Of course, Fletcher is best known for helming such wildly successful rom-coms as 27 Dresses and The Proposal... Disney Turning Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Into A Movie It looks like the next Disney theme park attraction set to get the movie treatment may be “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.” Featured at Disneyland in California, the attraction was based on The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, the 1949 animated feature based on Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. So just to keep things straight here, this movie, which Disney is said to be developing, is a film based on a ride, based on a film, which was adapted from a book. Michael Douglas In Talks For Jon Turteltaub's Upcoming Comedy Last Vegas Originally written by Crazy, Stupid, Love scribe Dan Fogelman – rewrites have since been done by Adam Brooks and Alan Yang – the story follows an aging man (potentially Douglas) who is getting ready to marry a woman that is half his age. But before he ties the knot, he decides to invite three of his best friends from childhood to go to Las Vegas with him. Trailer for Found Footage Horror Flick Area 407 The directorial feature debut of Dale Fabrigar and Everette Wallin, Area 407 throws its unlucky cast of characters into a remote government-testing reserve. Their terror-stricken experiences are captured by the aforementioned sisters, who accidentally uncover what's lurking in the dark expanse of Area 407. First Look At Aaron Eckhart In Makeup On The Set Of I, Frankenstein Directed by Stuart Beattie and based on the comics by Kevin Grevioux, the film stars Aaron Eckhart as Adam, a Frankenstein creature who finds himself fighting in a war between two rival immortals clans. While currently in production, the movie isn't set to come out until February 22, 2013. Ralph Macchio Cast In Making Of Psycho Movie Ralph Macchio hasn’t been seen often on the big screen in recent years. In fact, most of his noteworthy appearances of late have been on television, with a recurring role in ABC’s Ugly Betty, and a guest starring role in an episode of Psych a couple years back. Macchio hasn’t had many notable film roles since his days of The Karate Kid and My Cousin Vinny, but perhaps that’s about to change. January Jones And Ed Harris To Front Sweetwater Jones has just signed on to star opposite four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris in the western Sweetwater. Set in 1886 in the thick of the New Mexico Territory, the drama centers on a young widow (Jones) who seeks revenge on the cruel sheep rancher who murdered her husband, no matter what it takes. |
