Rosamund Pike

New Posters for WRATH OF THE TITANS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 7th, 2012 at 11:43 am

Warner Bros. has released two posters and three banners for Wrath of the Titans.  There’s no kraken this time around so none of the characters are going to say, “Let’s get kraken.”  I know the plot involves the titans getting unleashed and Zeus (Liam Neeson) asking Perseus (Sam Worthington) for some help, but I don’t get the point without kraken puns.  Kraken puns make the world go round.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  The film also stars Ralph Fiennes, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramirez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell, and Rosamund Pike.  Wrath of the Titans opens in 3D on March 30th.

New High Resolution Images from WRATH OF THE TITANS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 2nd, 2012 at 12:11 pm

Three new high-resolution images from the upcoming sequel Wrath of the Titans have been released. The story finds Sam Worthington’s Perseus tasked with rescuing Zeus (Liam Neeson) from the depths of the underworld. Ralph Fiennes returns as Hades, and the action-factor is upped this time around as the Titans unleash hell on Earth. The new images aren’t incredibly revealing, but we do get a good look at Rosamund Pike being an all-around badass. I wasn’t over the moon about Clash of the Titans, but the trailer for Jonathan Liebesman’s follow-up definitely piqued my interest. Worthington recently expressed his satisfaction with the end result to Steve, saying that Liebesman took a more realistic approach to the world in the vein of Ridley Scott.

New Images from WRATH OF THE TITANS Featuring Sam Worthington and Ralph Fiennes

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 23rd, 2012 at 8:27 am

The latest issue of Empire Magazine looks to be chock-full of goodies. We’ve already brought you some covers and images from The Avengers, and now some new images from the upcoming sequel Wrath of the Titans have landed online. The follow-up to Clash of the Titans finds Sam Worthington’s Perseus tasked with rescuing a kidnapped Zeus (Liam Neeson) from Hades (Ralph Fiennes). The images here are actually pretty cool, and give me hope that Wrath might possibly be a healthy step up from the underwhelming Clash. We get a peek at a grotesque-looking Minotaur, Rosamund Pike as Andromeda, Edgar Ramirez as Ares, Danny Huston as Poseidon, and Fiennes as Hades.

First Trailer and Poster for WRATH OF THE TITANS [Updated With New Posters]

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 11:04 am

The first trailer for Wrath of the Titans has gone online.  I was disappointed by Clash of the Titans, but the trailer has somewhat restored my interest in the sequel.  Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles) has taken the reigns from Louis Leterrier and obviously the action scenes are bigger because that’s what sequels do.  But I was taken with the imaginative design for the sets and the creatures.  Presumably the 3D will be much better this time around since it’s not a post-converstion.  But the larger question remains: Is the script any better?  Here’s hoping. [Correction: It is a post-conversion. I was under the impression the filmmakers didn't want to do something so blatantly stupid.]

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster.  The film stars Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramiez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell, and Rosamund Pike.  Wrath of the Titans opens March 30, 2012. [Update: A couple of crazy banners a new image have been released, which are now included after the jump.]

Rosamund Pike to Star Opposite Tom Cruise in ONE SHOT

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 17th, 2011 at 9:28 am

On Sunday, we reported that Hayley Atwell, Rosamund Pike, and Alexa Davalos were testing to play the female lead opposite Tom Cruise in the action flick One Shot.  Today, THR is reporting that the role has gone to Ms. Pike.  Paramount Pictures and Skydance were reportedly looking for “a pedigreed yet non-A-list actress for the role,” (read: talented but not expensive) and Pike certainly fits the bill.  Pike will be playing the role of Helen Rodin who joins teams up with badass Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) to investigate a shooting after the accused man pleads innocence and calls on Reacher for help.  Rodin must square off against her father, the district attorney of Indianapolis, to defend the accused.  Pike most recently starred in Made in Dagenham and she’s playing Andromeda in next year’s sequel to Clash of the Titans.

Christopher McQuarrie (Way of the Gun) wrote the script and will direct the adaptation of Lee Child’s novel.  Hit the jump for the synopsis.  Paramount plans to begin shooting this fall and release One Shot on February 8, 2013.

Hayley Atwell, Rosamund Pike, and Alexa Davalos Test to Star Opposite Tom Cruise in ONE SHOT

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: August 14th, 2011 at 9:36 am

Rising star Brit Marling eyed the female lead in One Shot earlier this month, but chose to star The Company You Keep instead.  That leaves a vacancy in a high profile action-thriller for another rising star to star opposite Tom Cruise.  THR reports Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger), Rosamund Pike (Barney’s Version), and Alexa Davalos (Clash of the Titans) are reading for the part with writer/director Christopher McQuarrie.  Pike and Atwell aren’t new to these kinds of lists.  And Pike will replace Davalos as Andromeda in the Clash of the Titans sequel, further implying homogeneity among young starlets.  Not to detract from the talent of these ladies.  I have not seen Davalos in anything, but I thought Atwell and Pike were great in the little I’ve seen of their work.

One Shot is based on the novel of the same name in Lee Childs’ Jack Reacher series.  Cruise plays “an ex-Army cop who gets sucked into the mystery surrounding the arrest of a sniper accused of killing five random people in a shooting.”  Paramount is planning on a fall shoot in Pittsburgh for a February 8, 2013 release.  Read the book synopsis after the break.

UK Trailer for JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 7th, 2011 at 10:00 am

I’m not exactly sure who was clamoring for another Johnny English movie but they’re going to get their wish.  The UK trailer for Johnny English Reborn has gone online and it features what you would expect: slapstick, Rowan Atkinson creating awkward situations, and more slapstick.  For those who enjoy this franchise, this new installment looks like it won’t let fans down.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Rosamund Pike, Dominic West, and Gillian Anderson. Johnny English Reborn opens in the UK on October 7^th.

Bill Nighy and Danny Huston Join CLASH OF THE TITANS Sequel; Full Synopsis Revealed

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 23rd, 2011 at 8:23 am

Production has begun on Jonathan Liebesman’s untitled sequel to Clash of the Titans.  Warner Bros. has sent out a press release confirming the film’s cast.  Returning actors Sam Worthington (Perseus), Liam Neeson (Zeus), Ralph Fiennes (Hades), and Danny Huston (seen in the first film for half-a-second as Poseidon), will be joined by Edgar Ramirez (Ares), Toby Kebbell (Argenor, Posiedon’s demigod son), Rosamund Pike (Andromeda), and Bill Nighy (Hephaestus). It’s worth noting that Gemma Arterton, who was rumored to return as Io, isn’t mentioned in the press release.

Warner Bros. has also sent out a full synopsis for the sequel.  The story takes place 10 years after the first film with Perseus attempting to lead a quiet life.  But he’s called back into action in order to rescue Zeus after the god is captured by Ares and Hades in a deal to unleash the titans.  The plot clearly has a major role set up for Kronos, the leader of the titans, but no actor has been linked to the role at this point.

Hit the jump for the full press release and synopsis.  Clash of the Titans 2 is set to be released in post-converted 3D (ugh) on March 30, 2012.

Rosamund Pike Cast as Andromeda in WRATH OF THE TITANS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 8th, 2011 at 1:12 pm

Rosamund Pike is an actress who has been circling big-name properties like X-Men: First Class and more recently, Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot.  However, it looks like rather than tangle with the Man of Steel, she’ll be joining Jonathan Liebesman Clash of the Titans sequel, Wrath of the Titans.  Deadline reports that Pike will play Andromeda in the film and that it will be a much larger role than in the 2010 film (when it was played by Alexa Davalos, who was “unavailable for the sequel”).  For those unfamiliar with Pike, she first broke out in 2002′s Die Another Day, and has done some strong supporting work in recent indie films such as An Education and Barney’s Version.

Wrath of the Titans also stars Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, and Liam Neeson.  The film is due out in 3D on March 30, 2012.

Rumor: Lois Lane Will Be Featured in SUPERMAN Reboot; Eve, Kruger, and Pike Vying to Play Villain Ursa

by Jeff Ames    Posted: February 5th, 2011 at 10:09 am

The internet has been abuzz ever since a rumor spread that Alice Eve, Diane Kruger and Rosamund Pike are in contention for a female lead in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman reboot. Even moreso when it was revealed that the role in question was not Lois Lane — who, someone, somewhere exclaimed was not going to feature in the film. Well, good news for Supe fans: Latino Review has just received word from a “reliable source” that Lois Lane will indeed be in the film and that the role Eve, Kruger and Pike are vying for is that of the Kryptonian villainous Ursa, who, fans may recall, is General Zod’s right hand man — er, woman. Sarah Douglass portrayed the character in Superman II to memorable results, and damn near wrecked all of Metropolis attempting to take down the son of Jor-El. More after the jump.

Alice Eve, Diane Kruger, and Rosamund Pike on the Short List for Female Lead in SUPERMAN; Not Lois Lane

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: February 3rd, 2011 at 8:16 pm

Alice Eve (She’s Out of My League), Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), and Rosamund Pike (An Education) are reportedly on the short list to play the female lead in the new Superman film opposite Henry Cavill (The Tudors).  But get this — it’s not Lois Lane.  It has not been revealed what role they’re up for, surely thanks to the secrecy producer Christopher Nolan is able to maintain on his projects.  It is not specified if Lois will appear in a reduced capacity, but it appears the female lead will not be Ms. Lane as assumed in previous rumors.  Shades of Mary Jane Watson’s absence in the Spider-Man reboot in favor of Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey.

Zack Snyder is directing the superhero reboot from a script by David Goyer, due in December 2012.  More after the jump:

Paul Giamatti and Rosamund Pike Exclusive Video Interview BARNEY’S VERSION

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: January 13th, 2011 at 7:09 pm

Opening this weekend, in limited release, is a great movie called Barney’s Version.  Based on Mordecai Richler’s prize-winning comic novel, the movie is about four decades, two continents, and the three wives of Barney Panofsky (played to perfection by Paul Giamatti).  Without saying too much, the film follows Barney’s long and colorful life and over the course of two hours, we really feel like we’ve spent a lifetime with him.  In a good way.  And while I singled out Giamatti, Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, Rachelle Lefevre, Dustin Hoffman and Scott Speedman are all fantastic. For more on the film, watch the trailer here.

Anyway, the other day I sat down with Giamatti and Pike and while I didn’t have much time, we talked about how they got involved in the project, the rehearsal process, did they read the book, and Pike gave me an update on The Godmother.  Hit the jump to watch what the interview:

Full Trailer for BARNEY’S VERSION Featuring Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman

by Bill Graham    Posted: November 11th, 2010 at 5:36 pm

The last time we reported on Barney’s Version, they released a teaser trailer in August that showed the subtle humor that Paul Giamatti is best at. The film is directed by Richard J. Lewis and is headlined by Giamatti, Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver, Scott Speedman, Rosamund Pike, Rachelle Lefevre, and Bruce Greenwood. While Lewis has done a majority of his work on the small screen, he seems to have a nice start here with plenty of humor to go around. For further proof, a brand new trailer for the film was released today. Hit the jump for the full trailer, synopsis, and more.

Dominic West, Rosamund Pike and Daniel Kaluuya Join JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: September 13th, 2010 at 10:04 am

Dominic West, Rosamund Pike, and Daniel Kaluuya will join Rowan Atkinson and Gillian Anderson in Johnny English Reborn.  According to THR, Atkinson’s bumbling secret agent Johnny English will be “embroiled in trying to stop a plot by a group of international assassins hunting down the Chinese premier.”  Johnny English was released in 2003 and I’m still amazed that anyone wanted a sequel.

West recently appeared in theaters in the Roman bloodbath Centurion and is attached to the sci-fi flick John Carter of Mars and the thriller The Awakening.  Pike was last seen in An Education and Surrogates and is currently appearing in two flicks making the festival rounds: Barney’s Version and Made in Dagenham.  Kaluuya recently co-starred in the thriller Chatroom.

Promo Trailers for TRUST Starring Clive Owen and Catherine Keener, and BARNEY’S VERSION Starring Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 2nd, 2010 at 12:38 pm

Promo trailers for David Schwimmer’s Trust and Richard J. Lewis’ Barney’s Version have popped up online.  Both films will be playing at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 9 – 19th.  Trust is an intense-looking drama about parents (Clive Owen and Catherine Keener) dealing with the rape of their 14-year-old daughter.  The trailer is strong stuff (although it seems to verge away from real emotions at times and pushes a revenge-thriller angle that seems phony), but I think people are going to write it off because Schwimmer’s name is attached.  I wonder if he walks down the street and people shout at him, “Hey, Ross!  What’s going on with you and Rachel!” and he’s forced to answer, “We got together at the end of the show when I forced her to choose between me and her career!  And no, Matt Goldberg did not own all ten seasons of Friends at one point in his life!”  (Schwimmer speaks in half-truths.)

I also dig the trailer for the significantly more lighthearted Barney’s Version starring Paul Giamatti, Rosamund Pike, Minnie Drive, Rachelle Lefevre, and Dustin Hoffman.  It’s got some good jokes, a fun premise, and it looks like Giamatti and Hoffman have great chemistry.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer and synopsis for each film.
