Anne Hathaway Will Have The Low Self-Esteem Of Lizzie Gillespie

October 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While Anne Hathaway has made some decent rom-coms, she’s also made quite a few dodgy ones, but let’s hope the new one she’s signed up for, The Low Self-Esteem of Lizzie Gillespie, is one of the former.

THR reports she’s now attached to the film, which comes from Office writers Mindy Kaling and Brent Forrester, and centres on a woman who only dates losers because she doesn’t believe she can do any better. This begins to change when she is pursued by what THR says is the ‘hottest guy ever’. As yet, it isn’t known who’ll take that role, although we’re assuming anyone who’d take a role based on how hot they are, won’t have many self-esteem problems of their own.

The script landed on the Black List of the best unproduced screenplays, but don’t expect it to reach screens in the near future, as it’s still in the development stage and is still looking for a director.

Simon Curtis Takes On Edith Wharton’s Buccaneers

October 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Simon Curtis scored a big success with My Week With Marilyn, and it seems he’s planning to stay in the past as THR reports he’s planning to bring Edith Wharton’s The Buccaneers to the big screen, teaming with BBC Films, Ruby Films, and screenwriter Heidi Thomas.

The story is set in high society and follows five wealthy American girls who, unable to find mates in New York, set off for England in search of well-off gentleman bachelors. Interestingly, Wharton never finished the book, with this version working from an ending written by Wharton scholar Marion Mainwaring in 1993.

It won’t be the BBC’s first brush with the story, as they brought it to TV in the mid-90s, although for that version they made up their own ending for the tale.

It isn’t clear when The Buccaneers might shoot, although it may be a while, as Curtis is also attached to Click To Connect, from He’s Just Not That Into You screenwriter Liz Tuccillo.

Ron Perlman Joins Angry Little God

October 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The cast of Angry Little God has grown, with Ron Perlman, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Tom Bower, and Devon Graye all signing up for the film, which Daniel Stamm (The Last Exorcism) is set to direct. Mark Webber and Rutina Wesley are also set to star.

The movie is a remake of the Thai thriller 13: Game of Death, and centres on a timid social services coordinator who can’t seem to get out from under his mounting debts. He receives a strange phone call to participate in a hidden camera game show, where he could win up to $6 million by performing 13 tasks. The man soon realises he’s in over is head as the challenges become ever more horrific.

David Birke co-wrote the script alongside Stamm, with shooting beginning today. (Source: Variety)

Paul Dano Joins Jackman & Gyllenhaal In Prisoners

October 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Paul Dano is currently seeing success in Looper, and now he’s got another role in a major movie, as he has signed on to star in Prisoners for director Denis Villeneuve, according to Variety.

Hugh Jackman is already set to play a small town carpenter whose life is torn apart when his daughter and her friend are kidnapped. Fed up with the local law enforcement, he takes matters into his own hands and searches for her himself. He clashes with Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal), a big city cop who has been assigned to the case. At the moment not much is known about Paul Dano’s character.

Denis Villeneuve is directing from a Black Listed screenplay by Aaron Guzikowski (Contraband), with shooting set to begin in early 2013.

Kelly Marcel To Write Fifty Shades of Grey Film

October 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s been a lot of interest in Hollywood who would be getting to adapt Fifty Shades Of Grey, with the likes of Bret Easton Ellis even launching lobbying efforts to get the job. However it’s now been been revealed, via Variety, that Kelly Marcel has got the job.

It’s something a bit different from what Marcel has done before, who produced the likes of Terra Nova on TV and more recently was behind the script for Saving Mr. Banks about Disney’s difficulty getting the rights to Mary Poppins, which has recently gone into production.

Fifty Shades producer Michael De Luca commented, “Kelly’s work demonstrates her flawless structural technique and passionate commitment to emotion, humor and depth of character which is particularly visible in the celebrated screenplay for the upcoming Saving Mr. Banks.”

Universal Pictures and Focus Features acquired the rights to the three books in the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy back in March of this year, although it’s still not clear how they can fully bring the incredibly raunchy novels to the screen without massively diluting them. Fifty Shades of Grey has become a global phenomenon and the trilogy has been translated in 45 languages worldwide since its release. In the US alone, the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has sold over 32 million copies.

Fifty Shades of Grey follows the relationship of 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. Subsequent novels in the series, Fifty Shades Darker (September 2011) and Fifty Shades Freed (January 2012) explore the couple’s deepening relationship.

Tarzan Trailer – Kellan Lutz goes 3D mo-cap as the jungle dweller

October 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It looks like we’re going back into the uncanny valley with a new version of Tarzan, which is being made in Germany but has Twilight star Kellan Lutz donning a motion capture suit to play Edgar Rice Burrough’s man raised by apes. A teaser for the film has now arrived, showing Tarzan swinging through the jungle. The animation looks pretty good, although whether audiences will respond to this new take on the tale remains to be seen. It should be released next year.

October 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

No UK release if currently set.

Cam Gigandet & Nick Thune Will Be A Couple Of Dicks In Johnson

October 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There aren’t enough movies where a guy’s penis takes human form and runs away, but thankfully director Huck Botko is out to remedy that, and Variety reports he signed Cam Gigandet and Nick Thune to star in the flick.

Jeff Tetreault has come up with the script, which is about Rich Johnson (Gigandet), a rich, goo-looking man who is a selfish womaniser. However he’s forced to re-evaluate his life and become a better person after his actions cause him to lose his manhood, literally. Yup, his dick magically becomes a person (Nick Thune) and goes off on its own.

It’s certainly an odd set-up, but it could be a spring for a funny comedy. Shooting will begin October 10th in Chicago.

Besson, De Niro & Jones Huddle In First Behind The Scenes Shot From Malavita

October 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Luc Besson seems to spend most of his time producing an endless series of ball to the walls action thrillers, but he’s currently taking time out to direct one, Malavita, with Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones and Michelle Pfeiffer set to star. Now the first behind-the-scene image has emerged, which sees De Niro and Jones discussing a shot with Besson.

Based on a novel by Tonino Benacquista Malavita is about a retired American gangster (De Niro) who is taken in by the witness relocation program and moved to Normandy, France. However, he doesn’t fit into his new lifestyle that easily. It should be in cinemas next year

Nate Parker Is Going Non-Stop Alongside Liam Neeson

October 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Red Tails star Nate Parker has signed up for a role opposite Liam Neeson in the action thriller Non-Stop, which director Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown) is set to helm, according to Variety…

Neeson will play an air marshal who squares off with an American terrorist who take a plane load of passengers hostage, and threatens to kill someone every 20 minutes if the marshal doesn’t kill himself (no prizes for guessing there’s something a bit personal going on here). Nate Parker will play a passenger who helps Neeson diffuse the threat.

Jaume Collet-Serra will direct from a screenplay by Christopher Roach and John W. Richardson. Production is scheduled to begin within the next few weeks in New York City. Nate Parker will next be seen alongside Richard Gere in Arbitrage, and also has a role in Spike Lee’s Oldboy remake.
