John Krasinski Joins Bradley Cooper In Cameron Crowe’s Next

By Leave a Comment

john-krasinskiCameron Crowe is busy lining up a great cast for his next movie. He’s already got Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Danny McBride, Jay Baruchel and Alec Baldwin, and now THR says that he’s also in the process of adding John Krasinski.

The new movie is about a defence contractor (Bradley Cooper) who is overseeing the launch of a weapons satellite in Hawaii. He ends up falling for an Air Force pilot (Emma Stone), and together they secretly plan to sabotage the launch. Giving things a slightly sci-fi flavour, the movie also features mysterious island forces and a talking computer.

Krasinski will apparently play “a military man married to McAdams, who is playing Cooper’s ex-wife.” Cameron Crowe is directing from his own original screenplay.

Christoph Waltz & Emma Stone Wanted For Tarzan, Opposite Alexander Skarsgard

By Leave a Comment

christoph-waltzOften when a movie gets delayed, it’s a polite way of saying we’ll never hear anything about it again. It appeared that might happen to David Yates’ new live-action take on Tarzan, when in April Warner put the brakes on due to the high budget. Even the production office was shut down, which is usually a sign of impending doom.

However it now appears things are gearing up again, with Variety reporting Christoph Waltz has entered negotiations to join the film, while TheWrap adds that Emma Stone is the top choice to play Jane.

They’d join the previously cast Alexander Skarsgard, who’s still attached to the title role. However it appears that while Warner wants Stone, she may turn down the movie due to her crowded schedule. Margot Robbie is the other main actress being eyed, who may be more free to take the role. Jessica Chastain was previously said to in the running, but it appears she’s no longer involved.

If he does sign up, Waltz would play a military type, but there’s no more info than that.

Despite the problems, it’s believed Tarzan is close to a greenlight, with plans to shoot next summer.

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-preview-pic1
Yesterday we got our first official look at Amazing Spider-man 2 villain Electro with the new cover of EW, and now a load more images have been released from inside the mag’s Comic-Con 2013 preview issue.

They give us a better look at the creepy Electro, as well as Paul Giamatti’s Rhino’s, along with Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker, Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.

It’s all looking pretty cool as Spider deals with his rising public profile as well as his promise to Gwen’s father to stay away from her – a promise he can’t keep – although hints at where the film series is going suggest that he ought to.

The Amazing Spider-man 2 hits cinemas May 2nd 2014. Click on the pics below for larger versions.

By Leave a Comment

eileen-atkins1Woody Allen is just finishing off Blue Jasmine, but he’s already busy putting together his next movie, which, as is Woody’s way, hasn’t had a title released yet. Colin Firth and Emma Stone are set to star, and now they’ve been joined by some great talents, as TheWrap reports that Eileen Atkins, Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver, Hamish Linklater and Simon McBurney will appear.

Erica Leerhsen and Jeremy Shamos are also set to star in the film, although as always, Allen is keeping the plot details to himself. The plan though is to start shooting fairly soon for release next year.

Blue Jasmine meanwhile, which stars Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett, Louis C.K., Michael Stuhlbarg, Peter Sarsgaard, Bobby Cannavale, Alden Ehrenreich, and Sally Hawkins, is set for release in the US on July 26th, with a September 20th UK date planned.

Sony Officially Announces The Amazing Spider-Man 3 & 4

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-suitThe Amazing Spider-man 2 may not arrive in cinemas until May 2nd next year, but Sony obviously has a lot of confidence in it – as well as their ability to turn it into an on-going story – as they’ve already set release dates for The Amazing Spider-man 3 & 4.

Jeff Blake, Chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures, announced that the next two films in the story of Peter Parker will be released on June 10, 2016, and on May 4, 2018, respectively. That’ll certainly keep Andrew Garfield busy.

Commenting on the announcement, Blake said, “Spider-Man is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise, so we’re thrilled that we are in a position to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years.”

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner, with a previous draft by James Vanderbilt. It’s not known if any of them are working on the new sequels, although it is believed Vanderbilt was originally hired with a plan for a series of Spidey film. However, as his script was taken over by others, they may no longer be following his ideas.

Edward Norton Joins Michael Keaton & Emma Stone In Birdman

By Leave a Comment

edward-nortonJust yesterday, we reported that Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, and Zach Galifianakis had signed up for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s upcoming comedy Birdman. With filming due to start in April, he’s got plenty more parts to fill, and now he’s got another heavyweight hitter in his cast, as Deadline reports that Edward Norton has joined the movie.

The movie is about an actor (Michael Keaton) who is mainly associated in the public consciousness with playing an iconic superhero on the silver screen. Since then his career has been on the slide, so in an attempt to revive it, he stages a Broadway show based on a Raymond Carver short story. Edward Norton is playing the egotistical lead actor in the play, who jeopardizes the success of the show and will be the film’s main antagonist. Emma Stone is set to play Michael Keaton’s daughter, Naomi Watts is an actress starring in the play, while Zach Galifianakis plays the stage production’s producer.

Alejandro González Iñárritu is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Alexander Dinelaris.

Emma Stone, Michael Keaton & Zach Galifianakis Find Birdman

By Leave a Comment

emma-stoneA couple of months ago director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu revealed he was going in a slightly different direction with Birdman. He made his name with heavy dramas such as Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel and Biutiful, but Birdman in a comedy.

Now he’s started filling out the cast, and has got some great names involved. THR reports that Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts and Zach Galifianakis have all signed up for the movie. The film is about a once-famous actor (Keaton) who’s almost completely identified with playing an iconic superhero (a neat meta-note for the former Batman).

He’s now keen for people to see him in a different light by lining up a comeback in a Broadway play. The plot takes place entirely at one location over the span of three days, as he tries to juggle his comeback attempt with his family life, which takes a toll on his sanity.

Emma Stone will play his daughter, a young woman fresh out of rehab who works as her dad’s assistant. Watts meanwhile will be an actress in the play, while Galifianakis will play the production’s conniving producer.

Shooting will start early next month (which suggests Stone will be finished on Amazing Spider-man 2 by then).
