By Leave a Comment

black-sea-posterTwo-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law captains the cast of Black Sea, the suspenseful adventure thriller directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September, The Last King of Scotland).

The cast also includes Scoot McNairy (Argo), British Independent Film Award winner Ben Mendelsohn (Starred Up), David Threlfall (Shameless), Konstantin Khabenskiy (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), Sergey Puskepalis (How I Ended This Summer), British Independent Film Award winner Michael Smiley (Kill List), and Grigory Dobrygin (A Most Wanted Man).

By Leave a Comment

Now he’s eyeing his next move and Variety reports he way well board the Elvis biopic, Last Train To Memphis.

Mick Jagger is producing, with Fox backing the movie, based on Peter Guralnick’s 1995 biography on the legendary singer. The film will chronicle ‘Presley’s early years and his transformation from a high school kid to an overnight sensation credited with ushering in a radical new era in music.’ John Fusco is writing the script.

Although Elvis is legend and has been a theme or a side-character in an awful lot of movies, there have been surprisingly few movie actually about him. The producers are currently looking for someone to play young Presley, even launching a website called Young Elvis Presley in look at unknowns.

Saoirse Ronan dealt with an alien invasion earlier this year in The Host, and not she’s got to try and survive World War III in How I Live Now. A new poster for the latter film has now emerged, which you can see above.

Directed by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King Of Scotland), Ronan plays Daisy, a teenage girl from New York City who travels to England to spend the summer with family in the English countryside. However, when World War III breaks out and insurgents invade, Daisy and a younger girl named Piper must survive alone in the woods as they try to make it to safety. So it’s a bit like Red Dawn except with more tea and scones.

An October UK release is set.
