The Bourne Legacy seems to have been in the works for eons, but now it’s definitely on the way as we have the first official picture from the movie (via USA Today). However, while the picture has arrived to help get people excited for this new Matt Damon-less Bourne installment, there’s still very little news on the plot, other than that Jeremy Renner will play another agent produced by the programme that resulted in Jason Bourne. We do at least now have his character name – Aaron Cross.
Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Oscar Isaac, Joan Allen, Albert Finney, Stacy Keach and Scott Glenn, with Tony Gilroy writing and directing. It’s due in the UK on August 17th, 2012.

Meryl Streep is an icon to a lot of people, but it appears she hadn’t realised that she was a gay icon as well. The actress, who’s won massive plaudits for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady (out Jan 6th), says “I just recently found out I’m a gay icon from a show where they do little arias from all my movies.”
Earlier today we reported that Kristen Wiig doesn’t want to make a second Bridesmaids movie, but now she’s got a different project in the works, in which she’d star alongside Owen Wilson, Christopher Walken and Paul Rudd (who’s been attached since last year).

While there have been plenty of people gnashing their teeth at the idea of remaking Carrie, getting a director onboard who could do something interesting with the material would certainly help.

While it’s still sometimes difficult to accept there really is a person called Benedict Cumberbatch (it sounds too much like the villain from an Edwardian novel), he’s doing very well for himself thanks to TV’s Sherlock. He’s also bagged a role in the upcoming War Horse and The Hobbit and now his star is set to rise into the stratosphere as he’s been cast as the villain in Star Trek 2, according to 
She may be the spawn of Phil Collins, but Lily Collins isn’t going to let that stand in her way, as she turning into quite the starlet, thanks to landing the lead in the upcoming Snow White tale, Mirror Mirror. Now she’s looking ahead to the future, which could include a bit of The Evil Dead.
