As usual, the most anticipated casting news is saved for last, and this is true for Hunger Games: Catching Fire’s coveted role of the handsome Tribute from District 4, Finnick Odair. I’ve heard via Variety that the short list is being narrowed down to Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman, Pillars of the Earth). [...]
Johnny Depp is starring as Tonto in a new take on The Lone Ranger. Armie Hammer (The Social Network) has been cast in the titular role, though we hear the film is much more a vehicle for Tonto this time around. In fact, Gore Vebinski has called it “Don Quixote told from Sancho Panza’s point of [...]
Guillermo del Toro is developing a remake of Beauty and the Beast, most recently adapted by Disney in 1991, unless you count Beastly (which we don’t). ComingSoon spoke with producer Denise Di Novi about the adaptation and that Emma Watson, recently de-Pottered, might star. We’ve recently seen Ms. Watson in candids from The Perks of Being [...]
Stephenie Meyer (of Twilight uber fame) will be taking on a producing role in Austenland, an upcoming rom-com about a young woman totally obsessed with Colin Firth’s character, Mr. Darcy, in the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. She’ll be joined by Jerusha Hess, co-writer of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. Full disclosure: I’m a [...]
I’d follow Johnny Depp to the end of the world and Disney knows it. Depp has made a reported $350 million from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and all signs point to a fifth film. But seriously, when is enough enough? Despite being a critical flop, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides just became the seventh [...]
After wrapping The Amazing Spider-Man, Emma Stone may be heading back to her Zombieland roots. She’s been offered the lead in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaway, and Natalie Portman were all candidates, but Stone may be the one who lasts. Lionsgate is working with director Craig Gillespie on the film based on [...]
Zack Snyder has a lot of his cast set for the Superman reboot Man of Steel. Henry Cavill will play Clark Kent, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are this Earthly parents, Michael Shannon will be General Zod, and Russell Crowe has been offered the role of Jor-El. Julia Ormond has now been offered the role [...]
I loved Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet from 1996. I have no idea how they will differentiate from that retelling, but we hear someone is going to try. Carlo Carlei (Flight of the Innocent) will direct and Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) is penning the script. Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) is slated to star as the [...]
Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman (not to be confused with Relativity’s untitled Snow White film), has dwarves in it. Eight, actually, and all named after Roman rulers: Caesar, the eldest; Nero: “Grumpy”; Tiberius, the biggest; Hadrian and Trajan, twins; Constantine, the blind one; Claudius, the timid one; and Gus: “Dopey”. So far we know [...]
Woody Allen is faring pretty well these days after a good showing from Midnight in Paris. His next film was rumored to be starring some young and hip faces in that of Jesse Eisenberg and Ellen Page. There is now confirmation on those castings and that of Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penélope Cruz, Judy Davis, and [...]
