Sam Worthington Soldiers Up For Daniel Barber's Civil War Thriller The Keeping Room
Watch Iron Man 3 Online Costner has been very busy of late and will next be seen as Jonathan "Pa" Kent in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. He also has Kenneth Branagh's Jack Ryan reboot coming out in December, and has just finished filming McG's Three Days To Kill and has just started rolling on Ivan Reitman's ensemble football comedy Draft Day. Looks like that Emmy he won for Hatfields & McCoys went a long way. Look forward to seeing a lot of him in the next couple years. Up until today we knew next to nothing about Woody Allen's next project, which will follow this summer's release of Blue Jasmine - probably in 2014. We don't know its title, its plot or even its setting. The only information we have had to go on about the movie (outside of the fact that Allen is writing and directing it) is its growing cast. Last week we learned that Emma Stone had entered talks to play the female lead in the mystery film, and now it appears that the Annie Hall director has found the star he wants to play opposite her.
Watch Pain And Gain Online According to Deadline, Allen has set his sights on Colin Firth as his next leading man, and the actor and the production have entered negotiations to make that happen. What's more, the site has also learned that the title will be one to add to the filmmaker's ever-growing list of European set stories, and will be filmed in the South of France. This is actually the second Firth casting story we've seen today. Just a little while ago we learned that the Oscar-winning star has signed on to play the lead role in Matthew Vaughn's comic book adaptation The Secret Service, which is on track for a November 2014 release date. The film will have him starring as an elite spy who works to train his wayward nephew in his business.
Watch Evil Dead Online Firth has been away from the big screen since the 2011 release of Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, but returned to limited theaters last weekend with the dramedy Arthur Newman. Even though the screenplay for Scot Armstrong’s upcoming film Search Party – originally written by Mike Gagerman and Andrew Waller – was on the 2010 Blacklist, it still got a rewrite by first-time director Armstrong himself (whose most recent credits include The Hangover Part II and Road Trip 2: Beer Pong). Nothing would be better than for this film to be the complete opposite of derivative, but that might be asking too much.
Watch Iron Man 3 Online At least the cast should be able to help. Search Party has added Shannon Woodward as a female lead, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Woodward is probably most famous for her role as Jimmy’s romantic interest on Fox’s Raising Hope, though she was also in the FX series The Riches a few years ago. As far as features go, she’ll next be seen starring with John Cusack and Emma Roberts in Scott Coffey’s Adult World, as well as the comedian-filled Claire’s Cambodia, the directorial debut from One For the Money screenwriter Stacy Sherman.
Watch Spring Breakers Online In Search Party she joins comedian TJ Miller (Cloverfield) and Adam Pally (Happy Endings) in a road trip comedy that takes the two guys on a wild and danger-filled mission to rescue their friend Nardo (Thomas Middleditch) - who has somehow ended up naked and stranded in Mexico. You know a film is good if it promises male nudity right there in the premise. Woodward will be playing Nardo’s girlfriend, who also manages to find herself in Mexico. Search Party will begin shooting this week in Baton Rouge, which means that it will probably be in theaters some time next year. And if you can’t find it then, feel free to send out a…what do you call it…a lookie group. Gabourey Sidibe has been a strong part of The Big C during its run on Showtime for the last few seasons. However, The Big C is about to start its final season and that means many of the show’s cast members are looking for new projects. Sidibe has already found a new gig, however. She’s joined the cast of American Horror Story: Coven.
Watch Olympus Has Fallen Online Ryan Murphy’s third cycle of American Horror Story has been in the works over at FX for a while, now. Kathy Bates has signed on for a horror-filled role and other former cast members have already committed to Coven, including Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, Frances Conroy, and Taissa Farmiga. As usual, Murphy and co. are keeping the details of the new series under wraps, but speculation has discussed the coven to possibly mean witches, and Murphy’s note that the series will be more “historical†in nature has had some people pointing fingers at Salem, Massachusetts. However, the show is set to film in three different locations, so the story could—and probably will—be far more complicated. I could see the Oscar winning actress playing a witchy woman, but we still have a while to wait before the new cycle of American Horror Story begins airing. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for new casting news. With the show's ensemble nature, I’m sure there will be plenty of it. Adventure seems to be the name of the game for Starz.
WATCH Beautiful Creatures ONLINE The premium cable network has taken its time in its efforts to establish its identity with its original programming, but looking at Spartacus and now Da Vinci's Demons and the upcoming pirate drama Black Sails, adventure seems to be a common thread… also swords. Among the projects in development for Starz is a series adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander. The popularity of the series alone may be enough to draw an audience, but factor in Ron Moore's involvement and we have even more reason to hope this one earns itself a green light at the network.
Watch G I Joe Retaliation Online Deadline says there's no green light yet, however they're speculating that Starz is eying the adaptation for a potential straight-to-series order, which wouldn't be so out of the ordinary for Starz. Deadline is basing this theory on word that Moore, who's likely best known for rebooting Battlestar Galactica with great success at Syfy (or then, Scifi), has hired four writers to work with him on the Outlander project.
Watch Jack The Giant Slayer Online Written by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander begins in 1945 and centers on a married woman, Claire Randall, who served as a nurse during World War II. While traveling with her husband, she finds herself transported back to Scotland in the year 1743 when clan wars have torn apart the country. Her path crosses with James Fraser, a warrior who might be her only chance at survival in this drastically different setting. Joining Moore in developing the potential series are Toni Graphia (Battlestar Galactica), Matt Roberts (Caprica), Ira Behr (Alphas, Crash) and Anne Kenney (Greek). Looking at their credits, it seems Moore has some experience working with some of these writers, and Behr has some experience writing for a Starz show.
Watch G I Joe 2 Online I haven't read the book yet, but the setting makes it sound like a great fit for Starz, and as a fan of Ron Moore and Battlestar Galactica, I'd love to see what he does with a pay-cable series. It'll also be interesting to see who's cast to star, should Starz opt to move forward with this project. ABC’s short-lived series, Last Resort, was notable for its extensive special effects, as well as its unique premise. The series follows a submarine crew that goes AWOL after the government frames them for an attack the crew did not commit. Eventually, the crew sets up camp and goes on missions, all while working to clear their names, hoping to be able to return home. If you missed the series during its brief run on the air or just want to check it out, you’ll be able to catch Sony Picture Home Entertainment’s Last Resort: The Complete Series set when it hits DVD on July 2.
Honestly, the company has not chosen to put together a Blu-ray release for the TV series, which normally doesn’t say great things about a set, but the DVD release looks way nicer than most network programs that only get one season on the air. All 13 Season 1 episodes will be available with the Complete Series set and an additional 13 featurettes will be available as bonus features. I especially like the sound of the “Epilogue†bonus feature, which will offer interviews from the cast and crew speculating on where the major characters would have gone.
