The cast for Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One continues to grow and it’s looking good, this time adding Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, according to Variety, and he may join The Crow remake too (it’s means he’ll be spending much of the rest of the year in the UK, as both films shoot in Britain).
As is usual for Star Wars casting news, there’s little info on who he’ll play, but he’ll join the likes of Felicity Jones, Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn and Diego Luna in Gareth Edwards’ movie.
Set shortly before the events of A New Hope, Rogue One follows a rogue band of resistance fighters who unite for a daring mission to steal the Death Star plans and bring new hope to the galaxy (AKA the plans that end up stowed away in R2D2 at the beginning of A New Hope). Whitaker could be one of the good guys, or may be joining Mendelsohn on the villainous side.
As for The Crow, while that film is due to start shooting soon, there may be a delay, as Jack Huston has just joined the very long list of actors to drop out of the title role. However once that gets sorted, Whitaker may also join the cast of that movie.
The Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them already has its male lead in the form of Eddie Redmayne, and now they’ve found woman to star opposite him, with 
James Franco in I Am Michael has been taking the early running for being the highest profile gay-themed movie of the year, but there’s another film we should be hearing a lot more about in the coming month, Freeheld. The film stars Julianne Moore, Ellen Page, Michael Shannon, Luke Grimes and Steve Carell, and now Page has been talking to 
Las Malas Lenguas has its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival this weekend, on Saturday June 13th at 1:50pm at the Regal Cinemas LA Live #14. To mark that fact we thought it was the perfect time to post the trailer.
Having rebooted Sherlock Holmes for a new generation, Guy Ritchie is now bringing the classic 60s series The Man From U.N.C.L.E., with Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer taking over from Robert Vaughn and David McCallum in the lead roles.
Yesterday we posted the first image from Disney’s Zootopia, and now that’s been followed by a teaser trailer that introduces us to more of the movie’s animal society, although here they seem to exist in some sort of Matrix training zone.
The moment it became clear Lance Armstrong was finally going to admit to doping during his cycling career, Hollywood immediately jumped in and put several biopics in the works. The first to arrive is The Program, directed by Stephen Frears and with Ben Foster in the lead role.
Annie Potts has some competition. While she was the nasal-voiced reception in Ghostbusters 1 & 2 who busily flirted with Rick Moranis, for the female-focussed reboot, the person answering the phones will be Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.
Like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson is showing there’s far more to her than Hogwarts, and that’s certainly true with the thriller Regression. Although on the surface it seems like a bit of a generic mystery thriller, the fact it’s directed by Alejandro Amenábar (The Others, Open Your Eyes) has to give us hope.
For years there’s been talk of Bad Boys 3, with both Martin Lawrence and Will Smith saying they’re open to the idea (which isn’t surprising in Lawrence’s case, as he hasn’t exactly got a huge amount else going on, movie-wise). However it’s been trapped in development hell, and the longer the delay, the less likely it’s seemed we’d ever actually see the movie.
