Mark Ruffalo & Rachel McAdams Go Into The Spotlight For A Film About Priest Sex Abuse

August 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mark-ruffaloAfter the huge ructions over the sexual abuse of children by priests in the Catholic Church, it’s almost surprising the film world has only nibbled at the edges of the scandal – probably because it’s such a hot button and difficult topic.

However now Tom McCarthy (Win Win) is planning to direct a film about the decades-long cover-up of paedophile priests in Massachusetts, and THR reports he’s living up a great cast including Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams and Stanley Tucci.

The film, called Spotlight, is based around the year-long investigation by The Boston Globe that uncovered the fact the Church knew it has abusive priests in its midst, but systematically hushed it up. The investigation by the paper’s ‘Spotlight Team’ led to the resignation of Cardinal Bernard Law, who had hidden years of serial abuse. It helped expose the way the Catholic Church dealt with abuse, with has since become a major scandal around the world.

Ruffalo and McAdams will play reporters, but it’s not clear who Tucci and Keaton will be. Josh Singer wrote the script, which landed on the Black List of the best unproduced screenplays.

Lupita Nyong’o & Rachel McAdams Up To Join Jake Gyllenhaal In Southpaw

May 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Lupita-NyongoSouthpaw started out as a vehicle for Eminem and it was sold as a vaguely metaphorical looking at his life through boxing. While that idea fell through the film lived on Eminem’s departure, and last November  Jake Gyllenhaal attached himself to the lead role.

Now the movie is further coming together as Deadline reports that Rachel McAdams, Lupita Nyong’o and Forest Whitaker are being courted for the movie, which Antoine Fuqua is set to direct.

The film is about a boxer who wins a welterweight title and then suffers a tragedy, forcing him to put his life back together to earn his young daughter’s respect. Nyong’o is set to be a social worker who cares for Gyllenhaal’s daughter, with the presumption being that McAdams will be the love interest as she’s described as the female lead.

Southpaw has certainly been through the Hollywood miller as it first came together at DreamWorks, before moving to Sony, MGM and now The Weinstein Company.

Fuqua is set to direct from a screenplay by Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter. Production is slated to begin sometime next year.

October 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rachel-mcadamsBack in May Reese Witherspoon signed up to star alongside Keanu Reeves in the sci-fi flick Passengers. However she has now been forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts and so Rachel McAdams is in negotiations to replace her, according to Deadline.

October 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac 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.

Rachel McAdams Joins James Franco In Every Thing Will Be Fine

August 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rachel-mcadamsThe cast of Wim Wenders’ Every Thing Will Be Fine has grown with James Franco being joined by Rachel McAdams, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Robert Naylor, according to THR.

Franco is set to play a grief-stricken man who is responsible for the accidental death of a young boy. He uses his guilt to launch a successful writing career, although as he becomes more and more famous, he ‘represses and rejects the emotional connection he has to the boy’s brother and mother in the years after the accident’.

Rachel McAdams is playing the writer’s girlfriend, who is trying to deal with his crumbling mental state. Charlotte Gainsbourg plays the boy’s mother, with Robert Naylor portraying his brother, who reaches out to the author 10 years after the accident.

Wim Wenders is directing from a screenplay by Bjorn Olaf Johannessen, with shooting already under way in Montreal.

New Passion Trailer – Rachel McAdams & Noomi Rapace get a little bit lesbian

July 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It certainly feels like Brian De Palma, director of The Untouchables and Scarface, has never quite left the 1980s behind, as you certainly get a feel of that decade in the latest trailer for Passion, which hits VOD and cinemas in the US in August (no UK date is currently set).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Brian De Palma returns to the sleek, sly, seductive territory of Dressed To Kill with an erotic corporate thriller fueled by sex, ambition, image, envy and the dark, murderous side of PASSION. The film stars Rachel McAdams (Midnight In Paris, Sherlock Holmes, Mean Girls) and Noomi Rapace (Prometheus, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) as two rising female executives in a multinational corporation whose fierce competition to rise up the ranks is about to turn literally cut-throat.’

To be honest, we’re not thinking it’s going to be great. [Read more…]
