The search for the actor who will play young Han Solo in the planned Star Wars spin-off that will focus on the characters’ early days continues to narrow. Back in January it was said the likes of Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Logan Lerman, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Emory Cohen, and Blake Jenner were on the shortlist.
Things seem to have shifted to some new names, with THR reporting that at screen tests in London last weekend were the likes of Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!); Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Taron Egerton (Kingsman), and Emory Cohen (Brooklyn). Other names are also believed to still be in the mix, with Variety adding Blake Jenner (Everybody Wants Some!!) and Jack O’Connell (Unbroken).
Previous reports have suggested that while the movie isn’t expected to go into production until January 2017 (for a release May 25, 2018), the reason that they want to find their man now is because of a planned cameo in this year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is also set before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie) are set to direct the Han Solo flick.
A decision on who will get the role is expected very soon.
Ever since Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull there have been rumblings about another film outing for Indy (with many hoping another movie would be made just so the franchise didn’t go out with its underwhelming last installment). There have even been suggestions that Harrison Ford only agreed to make The Force Awakens if Disney promised to make Indy 5.
Following its warmly received debut at SXSW on Friday, a red band trailer for Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some!! has arrived. You can take a look at it below.
Hot on the heels of the first image from the movie comes the trailer for A Hologram for the King, the movie that reunites Tom Hanks with one of his Cloud Atlas directors, Tom Twyker, and sends him to the Middle East. A UK release date of May 20th has also just been announced.
After One Direction split-up/took an extended break (I thought I’d add the latter in case you’re too traumatised to think they might not get back together) most expected that Harry Styles would concentrate on a solo career. However, it looks like he’s got acting in his sights, as 
Jake Gyllenhaal has gotten Life – or at least he’s signed on to star in a movie of that name. He joins the previously cast Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson in the sci-fi tale (some reports have suggested Gyllenhaal is replacing Reynolds, but 
It looks like there are a couple more Kingsman movies planned, as 
Last October it was announced that video site Vimeo was starting to produce original programming, and that one of the first things it was backing was a second season of the extremely popular gay-themed web series, The Outs. Now the trailer for that new season has been released, which you can take a look at below.
It’s been a couple of years since we last heard about Sacha Baron Cohen’s plans for a movie called The Lesbian. Many thought the film had been abandoned, but it’s turns out it’s still alive and not just that – it’s a musical! That certainly helps explain why it’s taking so long to develop.
While there have been quite a few images and posters for Captain America: Civil War, they’ve deliberately shied away from showing us one of the main things everyone wants to see – Spider-man’s first appearance in a Marvel movie. The deal between Sony and Marvel allowed it to happen, and Tom Holland was cast in the role, with Civil War marking his first appearance before he gets a standalone movie.
