Joel Edgerton is still waiting for the movie that will properly break him in Hollywood, but now Deadline reports that The Thing and Zero Dark Thirty actor has entered talks to join the cast of Jane Got a Gun for director Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin).
Natalie Portman is already onboard to play Jane Hammond, a woman in the Old West who enlists the help of a former lover (Michael Fassbender) when a band of outlaws come searching for her husband. Joel Edgerton will play John Bishop, the villainous leader of this evil group.
Ramsay is set to direct from Brian Duffield’s Black Listed screenplay. It isn’t clear when production will begin.
Angry Birds is only three years old, but in that time it’s taken over the world of mobile gaming and has been downloaded over a billion time. Now Rovio Entertainment, the company behind the game, has announced that Despicable Me producer John Cohen has signed on to develop a planned Angry Birds movie.
The robots may be staying the same, but the human cast is getting a complete makeover for Transformers 4. So it’s out with Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox (and indeed Rosie Huntington Whiteley), but up until now we’ve only that Mark Wahlberg would be amongst new human faces of the franchise.

In the last few years director Burr Steers has been in relatively warm and fuzzy territory with the likes of 17 Again and Charlie St. Cloud, but now he’s going in a slightly different direction with Breed, a movie based on a horror novel by Chase Novak (who’s also known as Scott Spencer).
