Rafe Spall & Megan Parks Get The F Word

August 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The F Word already has Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Mackenzie Davis and Adam Driver onboard, and now Variety reports that they’ve been joined by Prometheus’ Rafe Spall and Charlie Bartlett’s Megan Parks.

Despite what you may think, the title doesn’t refer to a rude word. Daniel Radcliffe stars as Wallace, a young man who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) at a party where they hit it off. The problem is, Chantry has a long-term boyfriend, and the duo must navigate through a tenuous friendship (that’s the F word), while keeping their feelings at bay.

Elan Mastai (The Samaritan) wrote the screenplay, which landed on the 2008 Black List, based on the play Toothpaste and Cigars by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi. Shooting started this week in Toronto and will move on to Dublin, with Michael Dowse directing.

Robocop Gets The Wonderful Marianne Jean-Baptiste

August 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Marianne Jean-Baptiste is a great actress, although it’s a bit of a shame she only ever seems to get supporting roles – even in TV’s Without A Trace her main job was to essentially be a kind of on-screen narrator. She’s continuing her supporting career with a part in José Padilha’s remake of the classic action film RoboCop.

The actress will play Detroit Police Chief, Karen Dean. The project has Joel Kinnaman playing the cop who gets turned in cyborg, alongside Jackie Earle Haley, Gary Oldman, Hugh Laurie, Abbie Cornish and Samuel L. Jackson.

José Padilha is helming from a script provided by Joshua Zetumer. Production will begin in Toronto next month. (Source: Variety)

John Goodman Circling The Hangover Part III

August 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s rarely a bad thing to cast John Goodman in a movie, as he’s one of the few actors who can run the full gamut from deeply dark drama to full-on comedy. Now he’s in talks for a small but integral role in the upcoming The Hangover Part III, whic is said to be one of the last main roles yet to be cast before production begins later this autumn.

The actor will play an unspecified antagonist, similar to Paul Giamatti’s minor role in The Hangover Part II. Although he’s unlikely to get much screentime, director Todd Phillips has described the role as ‘juicy’, and has been looking for the right person for a while, including considering Sean Penn and Robert Downey Jr.

Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis are returning as The Wolf Pack, with Mike Tyson, Ken Jeong, Mike Epps, Heather Graham, and Sasha Barrese reprising their roles from the first two installments.

Bradley Cooper Joins Bad Blood and Trouble

August 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Before he returns to the wolf pack this Autumn to make The Hangover Part III, Bradley Cooper is making sure his future is all planned out with a few projects set for after that sequel has wrapped. Variety reports that he is currently in talks to star in Bad Blood and Trouble for director J Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) and he is also considering an offer to join the cast of Clint Eastwood’s long-delayed A Star Is Born remake.

Bad Blood and Trouble is set in the 1950s and centres on a Miami private detective (Bradley Cooper) who is in love with a married woman. Complications arise when her husband is targeted by a criminal group. Production will begin in the second half of 2013 in London.

It isn’t known what role he is considering in A Star Is Born, which already has Beyoncé Knowles attached to star. He would seems a bit young for the main part of an aging star whose career is slipping away from him and drowns himself in alcohol, but it’s possible that’s who he’ll play.

Neither of these projects will come for a whiel though, as after The Hangover Part III, the actor will start production on American Bullshit for director David O. Russell. There may be enough of a window between that project and Bad Blood and Trouble to squeeze in A Star Is Born.

Mississippi Grind Gets Jake Gyllenhaal

August 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If Jake Gyllenhaal said he wanted to Mississippi Grind me, I wouldn’t even ask him what that was, I’d just let him got to town, but that’s actually just the name of the film he’s signed up to star in. Half Nelson and It’s Kind Of A Funny Story directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden are set to helm the gambling drama, according to THR.

The film is about a veteran gambler, who is over his head in debt. He recruits a younger gambling addict (Jake Gyllenhaal) to raise enough money to pay down his money owed. They travel across the American south with a vision to win back the money he lost. The producers are still searching for someone to play the older gambler.

The directing duo will work from a script they wrote. It isn’t clear when Mississippi Grind might shoot.

Carey Mulligan Up For Nancy And Danny

August 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Carey Mulligan is fast becoming one of the best actresses around, with a sharp eye for strong projects. She’s now in talks to go femme fatale in the black comedy thriller, Nancy & Danny, according to THR.

The film is described as being, ‘Set in a small town, the project concerns a money-hungry woman (Mulligan) whose big-city dreams failed. In order to land a high school crush, she uses a hapless man as a pawn in a get-rich-quick scheme that quickly goes wrong.’

The script is said to be similar in tone to Gus Van Sant’s 1995 To Die For, which starred Nicole Kidman as a scheming weather woman.

James Marsh, the filmmaker behind the acclaimed documentary Man on a Wire, is on board to direct Nacy & Danny from Brad Ingleby’s script. Mulligan must be keen as she apparently pursued the role, rather than the makers coming to her.

Marc Webb Attached To Helm The Only Living Boy in New York

August 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s still up in the air as to whether Marc Webb will return for The Amazing Spider-man 2. While he and Sony Pictures mull things over, Webb has become attached to another movie, with Thompson On Hollywood noting Webb’s involvement with The Only Living Boy in New York, written by Allan Loeb.

The movie is described as “a twisted coming-of-age tale,” which centres around a recent college grad (to be played by Lerman, if he’s still attached to the film) who discovers that his father is having an affair. The young man then attempts to stop the romance, only to start falling for his dad’s mistress himself.

Seth Gordon was previously attached to direct the movie, but now Webb appears to be in the driving seat. It isn’t known when this film might go into production, and there’s still a decent chance Webb will have to pass on it if he signs up for another Spider-man movie.

Morris Chestnut & Robert Emms Join Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall

August 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The cast of Universal Pictures’ Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall keeps growing, with new additions such as John Leguizamo and Donald Faison recently signing on. And no, actors Morris Chestnut and Robert Emms have inked deals to join the cast, according to Deadline.

Morris Chestnut will play the guardian of Chloe Moretz’s Hit Girl. Robert Emms is playing Insect Man, a costumed hero who claims to be a police officer, although he goes far above and beyond his duty while donning the mask.

Aaron Johnson returns as the title character, with Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Chris D’Amico/Red Mist), Yancy Butler (Angie D’Amico) and Nicolas Cage (Damon Macready/Big Daddy) reprising their roles from the original. Jeff Wadlow is directing from his own screenplay, adapted from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s comic book series. Production is scheduled to begin next month in Toronto.

Robert Downey Jr. Injured On Iron Man 3 Set

August 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s a problem many big action spectaculars face – you want the main star to do as many of the stunts as possible, so that it’s clearly them doing it on screen, but you always run the risk of them injuring themselves. That’s the issue Iron Man 3 has faced, as production was temporarily shut down after star Robert Downey Jr. was injured on the set.

Marvel Studios released the following statement regarding the unfortunate incident, ‘Robert Downey Jr. sustained an ankle injury on the set of Iron Man 3 in Wilmington, North Carolina while performing a stunt. There will be a short delay in the production schedule while he recuperates.’

There are no specifics on what kind of ankle injury he sustained, although it does not seem to be serious. There’s also no news on how long things will have to shut down for. However it doesn’t appear this will affect the release date. Production began in early June, with Shane Black directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce.

Edward Zwick Takes A Pawn Sacrifice With Tobey Maguire

August 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although Ed Zwick sometimes gets a bit of stick for his movies, he’s one of the few directors who’s consistently tried to take important stories to the mainstream, which films like Defiance and Blood Diamond. Now he has signed up to direct Pawn Sacrifice, with Tobey Maguire attached to star and produce.

The project is based on the true story of American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer’s famous world championship match against Russia’s Boris Spassky in 1972. Tobey Maguire will portray Bobby Fischer, with producers currently seeking an actor to play his Russian counterpart. And knowing Zwick, he’ll want to play up how important this became as a symbolic Cold War grudge match.

David Fincher was set to direct back in 2010 but he’s since moved on, with the project having been a bit stuck since then, even though the screenplay is well regarded. Steven Knight (Eastern Promises) wrote the screenplay. It isn’t known when they movie might shoot, but Edward Zwick is also attached to direct The Great Wall for Legendary Pictures, which may well come first. (Source: Deadline)
