October 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

craig-robertsCraig Roberts made quite an impression in Submarine, and while he’s made some British TV and film since, now he’s going Hollywood, as THR reports that he’s bagged a role in 22 Jump Street, the sequel to the Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill hit.

Hill and Michael Bacall have written the script, which picks up where the first movie left off and finds partners Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) undercover at a local university. However, the partners get separated, with Jenko joining the football team and the Schmidt finding himself in amongst the art majors.

It’s not known exactly who Roberts will play, but he’s a bit of a latecomer to the cast, as the movie’s already been shooting for a week. The film’s due out next summer.

Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz. Lionsgate co-presidents Robert Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger commented,”We searched for the ideal director and stars.

Hot Wheels Movie Gets Director Simon Crane

October 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hot-wheels-logo-picQuite a while ago now, Legendary Pictures announced they were planning a movie based on Hot Wheels. Now it’s been revealed that Simon Crane, a longtime second unit director, will make his feature directorial debut with Hot Wheels, according to THR.

Paul Attanasio has also been hired to rewrite the original script by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man). Legendary had initially envisioned this as an edgier project, similar to Universal’s Fast & Furious franchise, although they are going in a different direction now. They’re presumably trying to make it more family friendly – after all, this is based on a toy brand.

Simon Crane first made his mark as a stuntman on movies like Batman and Total Recall before transitioning into a stunt coordinator and second unit director. He recently served as second unit director on World War Z, Edge of Tomorrow and Maleficent.

October 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

David-OyelowoIt’s been revealed that David Oyelowo and Kate Mara have signed up for the thriller Captive. Leonor Varela and Mimi Rogers will be rounding out this ensemble. The film is set to begin principal photography later this month with Jerry Jameson (Safe Harbor, Raise the Titanic) directing.

Captive is a thriller based on true events that occurred in Atlanta, Ga., on March 11, 2005. Brian Nichols (Oyelowo) breaks out of the courthouse jail and shoots dead the judge assigned to his case as well as a court reporter, sheriff’s deputy, and FBI officer. While eluding a statewide manhunt, Nichols takes Ashley Smith (Mara), a single mother struggling with meth addiction, hostage in her own apartment.

Over the course of her harrowing ordeal, Smith desperately uses a book she has been given, Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life, to reason with her captor — with surprising and unforeseen results.

The film should be in cinemas later this year.

alexander-skarsgard06It’s only a few days since Charlie Hunnam dropped out of playing Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of the sexy best-seller Fifty Shades Of Grey. However, with an August 2014 release date, they need to find a replacement asap.
