Two-time Oscar-winner Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) is the latest to join Beautiful Creatures, a supernatural love story based on the first novel in a best-selling series. Thompson will join Academy Award-nominee Viola Davis (The Help), as well as Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake) and newcomer Alice Englert. Richard LaGravenese (P.S. I Love You) will direct the adaptation from the stories written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. 

In other casting news, Jenna Fischer (The Office) and Rita Wilson (Sleepless in Seattle) have joined the indie drama, Kiss Me, directed by Jeff Probst (“Survivor”). The coming-of-age tale follows a teen with scoliosis as she navigates adolescent relationships. Hit the jump for more on both projects.

THR reported on the addition of Fischer and Wilson to Kiss Me, an indie that also features Emily Osment (Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil), Steven Weber (Falling Skies) and Davenia McFadden (Hachi: A Dog’s Tale). The film, written by Liz Sarnoff (Lost) follows Zoe (Sarah Bolger) as she dons a back brace and attempts to form normal relationships with her mother, her best friend and the married father (John Corbett) of the kids she babysits. Fischer will play Corbett’s wife who becomes jealous at the closeness of Zoe and her husband. Wilson will play Zoe’s mother, who comes from the school of “tough love” and tries to steer Zoe’s affections elsewhere. Weber plays Zoe’s father, Osment is a friend of Zoe with troubles of her own and McFadden plays a nurse.

Opening tomorrow, in limited release, is director Oren Moverman's (The Messenger) fantastic new movie, Rampart.  Led by a brillaint Woody Harrelson, Rampart is about a corrupt cop whose past is finally catching up with him in the wake of a department-wide corruption scandal.  The film also stars Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, Steve Buscemi, Cynthia Nixon, Ben Foster, Anne Heche, Ice Cube, and Ned Beatty.

Recently, I got to speak with Harrelson. We talked about how he got involved in the project, what is was like to try and stick to the script while also finding the truth in the moment, what did he think of the film when he first saw it, filming on location in Los Angeles during the day, karaoke (he sings some Queen), and whether or not he can still dunk a basketball.  In addition, Harrelson talked about The Hunger Games and Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths.  Hit the jump to watch.

 

Woody Harrelson

	What is his karaoke song. And he sings part of it!
	Can he still dunk a basketball
	How did he first get involved in Rampart
	What is it like to try and stick to the script while also finding the truth in the moment
	What did he think of the movie when he first saw it
	What was it like to film the movie on location in Los Angeles during the day. It's a film noir but set during the day
	Talks about Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths and how he first met him
	What can he tell the fans about The Hunger Games

Gary Oldman wrapped up his 3-day, 7-film retrospective at New York's Landmark Sunshine Cinema with a fun, extended Q&#38;A after Wednesday night's screening of his Oscar-nominated performance in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

The first time Academy Award nominee fielded questions from a theater filled with hundreds of his fans with nearly an hour.  Oldman also hung around for autographs, pictures and additional questions.  Hit the jump for stories from the set of The Dark Knight Rises, his paralyzing doubt on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and what he thought while watching Heath Ledger as The Joker.

The event, co-sponsored by Focus Features (Tinker Tailor's distributor) and WNYC (public radio) is one of several recent 3-day retrospectives of Oldman's work in Los Angeles and San Francisco, held in conjunction with the film's nationwide rollout.  Sid &#38; Nancy, JFK, The Contender, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Prick Up Your Ears and State Of Grace all screened in the days and hours before Wednesday night's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy showing.

The film is the latest adaptation of John Le Carre's novel.  Sir Alec Guinness (Star Wars, Lawrence Of Arabia) preceded Oldman in the role of spy George Smiley, to huge success in a 1979 miniseries based on the book and a follow-up miniseries Smiley's People in 1982.  The new version features several generations of elite UK actors, including John Hurt, Oldman, Ciaran Hinds, Colin Firth, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy.  The plot is a jigsaw puzzle of espionage, murder, and double agents. Any real explanation ...]]></description>

Before there was Drive, there was director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher trilogy. The 1996 original followed Frank (Kim Bodnia), a drug-dealer who finds himself on the wrong end of a botched deal. The film that launched Refn’s career is going through an English-language remake by director Luis Prieto, starring Richard Coyle (Prince of Persia), Agyness Deyn (Clash of the Titans), Bronson Webb (Kingdom of Heaven) and Paul Kaye (Match Point). The remake has recently been picked up by The Weinstein Co.’s Radius-TWC, a VOD-oriented label that snagged the US and Caribbean rights. They are planning a release later this year. Hit the jump for more on Pusher including a trailer for the original trilogy. 

THR reported on Radius-TWC’s acquisition of the Pusher remake. Refn, currently busy with the indie drama Only God Forgives and the remake of Logan’s Run, gave his blessing to the remake, saying:
“Pusher was the film that launched my career and to have Luis Prieto direct the remake in London will be an exciting venture. It’s a classic tale with strong characters and has an engaging narrative. To see my characters, Frank and Tony in London, one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world, is an opportunity not to be missed.”
Here’s the official synopsis for the remake of Pusher:
As edgy and explosive as Nicolas Winding Refn’s 1996 cult classic, this English language remake sees a small time London drug dealer descend into debt following a spot of bad luck and a series of bad ...]]></description>

With the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D this weekend, Twentieth Century Fox recently hosted a press junket at   Skywalker Ranch and Lucasfilm.  In an effort to promote the experience   for the next generation, my seven year-old daughter, Cyan, interviewed   four people who helped bring George Lucas’ vision to life.  Her final interview was with Joel Aron, CG Supervisor for Star Wars: The Clone Wars the animated series.  They discussed how Darth Maul could come back if he’d been cut in half, the most rewarding part of working on Star Wars, who his favorite character is, his Sith name, and more.  Hit the jump to watch.



And if you missed her interview with John Goodson, a digital artist with Lucasfilm who worked as a concept model artist on The Phantom Menace, click here.  Here's her interview with ObiShawn, a lightsaber stunt coordinater  with Lucasfilm.  Finally, here's supervising sound editor Matthew Wood.

Joel Aron

	Wasn't Darth Maul cut in half? So how can he come back?
	What prevents films and TV going all CG
	What's the most rewarding part of working on Star Wars
	Who is your favorite character and why
	Is his job fun
	If he was a Sith, what would his name be

		<title>Ridley Scott Confirmed to Next Direct Cormac McCarthy’s THE COUNSELOR; Michael Fassbender May Star</title>

Author Cormac McCarthy’s first screenplay is looking like it’s on the fast track to production. McCarthy, whose books have been adapted into such fantastic films as No Country for Old Men and The Road, sold the spec screenplay The Counselor last month, and a multitude of directors jumped at the chance to take the helm. Ridley Scott entered talks a few weeks ago, and now Deadline reports that Scott is confirmed to make The Counselor his next film. Furthermore, Scott is apparently talking to his Prometheus star Michael Fassbender about starring in the drama.

The story is described as “No Country for Old Men on steroids” and centers on a respected lawyer who thinks he can dip a toe in to the drug business without getting sucked down. He soon finds he’s in over his head and tries his best to get out of a desperate situation. Apparently a number of top actors are vying for roles in the pic, and Scott hopes to begin production on May 1st. Fassbender is a tremendous actor, and the idea of him tackling Cormac material is certainly exciting. He’s next set to reteam with Shame director Steve McQueen on the period drama Twelve Years a Slave. I sincerely hope he’s able to fit both films into his schedule. ]]></description>

The first trailer for the apocalyptic dramedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World has landed. The film stars Steve Carell as a man who sets out with a woman (Keira Knightley) to search for his high-school sweetheart during Earth’s final days. It’s a premise you’d expect from a big budget sci-fi pic or a zany road trip comedy, but the tone on display in this trailer is nothing short of fantastic. Director Lorene Scafaria has populated the flick with a brilliant ensemble, as we see Patton Oswalt, Rob Heubel, Connie Britton, Gillian Jacobs, Rob Corddry, and more pop up in this short trailer alone. There are genuinely funny moments, but an underlying sadness permeates throughout that hints at some strong character work as well. I love the way the apocalypse is tackled here and can’t wait to see more.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Adam Brody, Derek Luke, Melanie Lynskey, T.J. Miller, and Melinda Dillon. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World opens June 22nd.

Here's the official synopsis for Seeking a Friend for the End of the World:
Set in a too-near future, a man searches for a meaningful connection as  humanity's last days are at hand. Can he find his greatest love at the  worst possible time? As the respective journeys of Dodge and Penny  converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks - if not ...]]></description>

Coming off a terrific dramatic turn in Jason Reitman’s Young Adult, Patton Oswalt is now looking to star in Ben Stiller’s next directorial project. Showblitz reports that Oswalt is in talks to star in Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The film is a remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film which centers on a LIFE Magazine proofreader who, incapable of standing up for himself in the real world, retreats to a fantasy where he becomes his poised, confident opposite. Stiller stars as the proofreader, Kristin Wiig is onboard as his love interest, and Shirley MacLaine is set as Stiller’s mother. Oswalt will play Todd, “a friendly eHarmony counselor who helps the protagonist create an online dating profile.”

It seems like a perfectly suitable role for Oswalt, who I sincerely hope gets the chance to shine after holding his own opposite Charlize Theron in Young Adult. Oswalt will next be seen in the Dean Koontz adaptation Odd Thomas, and also stars alongside Steve Carell and Keira Knightley in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Production on Walter Mitty will begin in April in New York and Iceland. ]]></description>

A new version of Rebecca is on its way courtesy of DreamWorks and Working Title. The Gothic novel by Daphne Du Maurier was famously adapted into a Best Picture winner by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940, and now Showblitz reports that Eastern Promises scribe Steven Knight has been tapped to pen a new adaptation. Knight will return to Du Maurier’s novel for the update, which centers on a young woman who marries a rich widower, only to find that her husband’s late wife still haunts their mansion estate. I’m not the biggest fan of Du Maurier’s novel, but there’s something encouraging about the fact that DreamWorks and Working Title are bent on making a Gothic drama. Though in lesser hands Rebecca could easily turn into a cheap spook-fest, Knight is a promising addition. In a film landscape filled with sequels and explosions, I’m pulling for something different with Rebecca.

Obviously it’s early in the game, so no director is attached at the moment. Knight has written a few high profile scripts as of late, including the Dan Brown adaptation The Lost Symbol and an untitled thriller starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall. He’s set to make his directorial debut on the thriller Hummingbird with Jason Statham in the lead. Hit the jump to read a synopsis for Du Maurier’s Rebecca.

Here’s the synopsis for Rebecca:
With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events ...]]></description>

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace opens yet again this Friday, and the film is destined to make even more money because all the marketing for the 3D re-release has been aimed directly at kids. Even the junket interviews were conducted by children (you can watch our interviews here, here, and here). George Lucas hasn’t given too many interviews regarding the 3D release, but one hit today that’s sure to grind fanboy gear. During the discussion, Lucas defends the edits he’s made to the Star Wars saga, and specifically addresses CGI Yoda and why Greedo shot first. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.

In an interview with THR, Lucas began by saying that tinkering with Star Wars is no big deal:
“Changes are not unusual — I mean, most movies when they release them they make changes. But somehow, when I make the slightest change, everybody thinks it’s the end of the world.”
Lucas goes on to specifically address the Han/Greedo controversy:
“Well, it’s not a religious event. I hate to tell people that. It’s a movie, just a movie. The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo [who seemed to be the one who shot first in the original] to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what ...]]></description>

John Cusack and Evan Peters will co-star with Emma Roberts in Scott Coffey's satirical comedy Adult World.  Per Deadline, the film "examines the contemporary state of post graduate life in America."  Roberts will play Amy Anderson, a recent college grad with a degree in poetry because I guess she was trying to find something even more useless than a B.A. in philosophy.  Since she doesn’t turn out to be "the next star of the literary world" (Quick! Name a famous poet under the age of 30!), she moves back in with her parents and is forced to get a real job.  The job: working at an erotic bookstore called Adult World.  Cusack will play Amy's hero and mentor Rat Billings, "who was one of the greatest poets of the early 90s."  I assume his day job was working at a Borders.

Kidding aside, I hope this film honestly hits the emotions and reality facing recent college grads.  The world ill needs another movie as unrelenting shitty as Post Grad. ]]></description>

We’ve got a couple of casting stories to share with you today. First up, Glee star Lea Michele may finally get her wish of reprising a Broadway role in the feature film adaptation. Michele was previously up for the role of Eponine in Tom Hooper’s movie musical Les Miserables (she starred as Young Cosette on Broadway and as Eponine at the Hollywood Bowl), but stage star Samantha Barks ultimately won the part. Now the actress is apparently in talks for the movie version of Spring Awakening. Michele originated the female lead in the smash hit Broadway musical, and director McG recently told E! Online that he’s in talks with the actress to reprise the role for his feature adaptation.

The This Means War director stressed that they have to see if Michele’s Glee schedule interferes with his shooting schedule, but he’s hopefuly things will work out. Steve sat down with McG recently and the director gave updates on all of his upcoming projects, including Spring Awakening. He said that he’s planning on putting a Baz Luhrmann-esque spin on the movie. No word on how soon filming will begin, but I sincerely hope Jonathan Groff reprises his Broadway lead in the film as well. Hit the jump for casting news regarding Clint Eastwood’s baseball drama Trouble with the Curve.

Additionally, Clint Eastwood’s son Scott is set to star opposite his father in the baseball drama Trouble with the Curve. The story centers on an aging baseball scout going blind (Eastwood) who sets out ...]]></description>

Paul Giamatti, Paul Rudd, and Sally Hawkins are set to lead Phil Morrison's comedy Lucky Dog.  Per Deadline, "the story centers on a pair of French-Canadian conmen pals who, despite being on the outs with each other, hatch a get-rich-quick scheme to sell Christmas trees in NY."  I'm not sure what's quick about selling Christmas trees, but I'll go along with it even though I thought Morrison's previous film, Junebug, was an absolute chore with the exception of Amy Adams' performance.  Filming on Lucky Dog begins next month in New York City.

As we reported last month, Giamatti is set to play Friar Lawrence (the guy who cooks up the idiotic fake-death potion) in the period adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.  Rudd is leading Errol Morris' non-documentary feature Freezing People Is Easy, and he'll be seen later this year in the comedies Wanderlust and the Knocked Up spinoff, This Is Forty.  As for Hawkins, she's co-starring in Mike Newell's adaptation of Great Expectations. ]]></description>

In the climate of budget conscious studios hesitant to gamble money on anything that doesn’t have a “2” in the title, more and more ambitious projects are having trouble crossing the finish line. Universal passed on Guillermo del Toro’s At the Mountains of Madness, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are struggling to get their blended, multi-part film/TV adaptation of The Dark Tower off the ground, and most recently we saw Warner Bros. put their fantasy pic Arthur &#38; Lancelot on hold in order to work out budget issues.

Now you can add Paradise Lost to the list of blue balled titles, as Legendary has pulled the plug. The ambitious adaptation of John Milton’s classic epic poem was to begin shooting in January, but Legendary decided in December to push production back in order to reduce the budget. Now the studio has scrapped the project all together. Hit the jump for more, including why Legendary backed out.

Director Alex Proyas had an ambitious vision for the film, as he planned to utilized motion capture and 3D for the action-oriented adaptation. The cast was impressive, with Bradley Cooper, Benjamin Walker, Casey Affleck, and Dijmon Hounsou all onboard, but ultimately the studio’s decision came down to budget. Deadline reports that the crux of Legendary’s issue was with the enormous amount of visual effects. They attempted to scale back a budget that had crossed the $120 million mark, but in the end it apparently proved too daunting.

There’s no word on whether or not Proyas will shop ...]]></description>

A staple of foreign actors making it big in America is signing on for the obligatory villain role. Christoph Waltz followed up Inglourious Basterds with The Green Hornet, Javier Bardem did No Country for Old Men shortly after The Sea Inside, and now The Artist’s Jean Dujardin is poised to follow suit. He’s a Best Actor nominee (and possible winner) for the likely Best Picture champion, and the charismatic Frenchman has teamed up with Funny or Die to poke fun at the whole “foreign star as the next big villain” thing. It’s an amusing video, and we see Dujardin tackle everything from Bond villain to the baddie in Jack and Jill 2. One thing’s for certain: Dujarin could charm the pants off of just about anyone.

While it feels like Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel has been filming forever, star Henry Cavill is finally looking to book his first post-Superman role. Variety reports that Cavill is now in negotiations to star in director Edward Zwick’s (The Last Samurai) period epic The Great Wall. The film “looks at the mystery behind how China’s Great Wall was constructed.” Zwick wrote the screenplay with Marshall Herskovitz, based on a story by World War Z author Max Brooks and Thomas Tull.

No other plot details are given, but historically speaking the Great Wall was constructed in the 5th century BC in order to keep nomadic groups out of the Chinese Empire. It’s unknown what kind of approach Zwick will take, or what kind of character Cavill will play. The actor was recently seen in Immortals, but we’ve got quite a while to wait before we see him don the tights. Man of Steel opens June 14th, 2013. ]]></description>

Morgan Freeman has joined Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough, and Olga Kurylenko in Joseph Kosinski's sci-fi action flick Oblivion (formerly titled Horizons).  Cruise plays a veteran soldier who's banished to the surface of a post-apocalyptic Earth and tasked with repairing ships that hunt down the aliens who destroyed our planet. When a mysterious woman (Riseborough) crash-lands nearby, their encounter sets off an eye-opening chain of events.  Deadline reports that Freeman's role is currently unknown, but it's a "critical part."  I don't have those details either, but I'm willing to wager it will be a dignified, intelligent character who is either a mentor and/or a nemesis.  Call it a hunch. [Update: Variety's Jeff Sneider tweets, "Morgan Freeman will play Malcolm Beech, the leader of the human resistance on Earth."]

Freeman will be seen in theaters later this summer reprising his role as Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight Rises.  He's also co-starring in Louis Leterrier's magician heist flick Now You See Me. ]]></description>

There's no problem with delivering a solid action thriller that doesn't reinvent the genre, but Safe House goes through the motions without an ounce of creativity or flavor.  It's the bare minimum of what an action movie should be and marches through gunfights and car chases because that's what the genre requires, not what makes the film exciting.  Denzel Washington doesn't add much by doing a tamer retread of his Training Day performance, and Ryan Reynolds is the film's redeeming aspect as he tries to bring a little nuance and shading to his character.  But the main fault lays with director Daniel Espinosa, who knows how to make Safe House loud, but not much else.

CIA Agent Matt Weston (Reynolds) is going stir crazy in his current assignment, manning a safe house in South Africa.  He then gets the excitement he thinks he wants when rogue agent Tobin Frost (Washington) is brought in for interrogation after surrendering himself at the U.S. embassy.  The safe house turns out to be not so much "safe" as "completely easy to breach" when a team of standard issue bad guys storm the facility and take out all of the guards except for Weston, who manages to escape with Frost in tow.  Weston has to fight to survive while trying to keep Frost in custody.  Meanwhile, the brass in Washington (Brendan Gleeson, Vera Farmiga, and Sam Shepard) struggle to figure out what the hell is going on and why Frost purposely surrendered after nine years on ...]]></description>

We've got a few quick casting stories to report this morning.  First up, Stark Sands (Generation Kill) has joined the Coen Brothers' upcoming film Inside Llewyn Davis.  The movie takes place in 1961 Greenwich Village and centers on a young musician (Oscar Isaac) trying to make it in the folk scene.  The film co-stars Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, Garrett Hedlund, and John Goodman.  According to Deadline, Sands will play "Troy Nelson, a young soldier on leave who's a forlorn and talented musician."  Sands' recently appeared in the Broadway adaptation of Green Day's Americna Idiot.

Hit the jump for casting news on I'll Follow You Down and John Michael McDonagh's Calvary.

Deadline reports that Haley Joel Osment will star in Richie Mehta's sci-fi mystery drama, I'll Follow You Down.  The story revolves around "a scientist who mysteriously disappears after a business trip, only to have his son Erol, played by Osment, make an eerie discovery about his whereabouts, several years later."  Osment recently co-starred in the coming-of-age comedy Sassy Pants playing the boyfriend of the protagonist's father.

"Barsoom" reads a sign on the outskirts of the movie set we're about to visit.  "Barsoom" is what Martians call their planet in Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars.  A group of my fellow online movie journalists and I are headed to the set of Andrew Stanton's adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel, John Carter.  Mars may technically be in Big Water, Utah, but today we'll be walking the ruins of an ancient Martian city, meeting a princess who bleeds blue, and a nine-foot-tall nomad tribe of warriors.  Hit the jump to take a trip to the red planet and find out about my visit to the set of John Carter.



For those unfamiliar with the story, John Carter is about confederate soldier John Carter (played by Taylor Kitsch) who is suddenly teleported to the surface of Mars and thrust into the middle of a war between the planet's various species.

Today is April 27, 2010 and it's Day 71 of the 100-day shoot*. As we walk on to set, we're greeted by the film's producer Colin Wilson who has worked on a multitude of blockbuster films including Avatar and Jurassic Park.  He is our tour guide as we walk through the ruins of an ancient Martian city.  After working for five months in studios in London, Wilson is excited to be working on practical sets and it's an enthusiasm we'll see in every person we talk to during our day on set.  Wilson explains that the city is occupied by ...]]></description>
