Ryan Reynolds is set to lead Atom Egoyan's psychological thriller Queen of the Night.  According to Deadline, "Reynolds plays a father who discovers a series of disturbing clues eight years after his daughter is abducted, he becomes determined to find her when the trail leads him to believe the now 17-year old girl is alive."  Egoyan recently wrapped on the West Memphis Three drama Devil's Knot, and filming on Queen of the Night is slated to begin shooting in February in Ontario.

Hit the jump for more.

While I haven't been crazy about Reynolds' most recent movies (namely Green Lantern and Safe House), I've found him to be good in everything he does, and his dramatic prowess tends to get overlooked due to his comic charisma.  He's also not afraid of taking on challenging films like The Nines and Buried.  Egoyan isn't known for making safe movies, and I'm eager to see what results from their collaboration.

However, Reynolds will next be seen in more mainstream fare.  In addition to providing a voice in DreamWorks Animation's The Croods, Reynolds' upcoming film, R.I.P.D., opens June 28, 2013., and has the actor playing a newly deceased cop working alongside a seasoned veteran (Jeff Bridges) in the "Rest in Peace Department", which is tasked with taking down mischief-making ghosts.  Reynolds is also Summit Entertainment's top choice to star in Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's reboot of the Highlander franchise.  As for the long-in-development Deadpool spinoff, movement sadly remains nil.  Fox currently has its hands full with other mutant movies, ...]]></description>

A trio of actors have landed some pivotal roles in director Atom Egoyan’s drama Devil’s Knot, which centers on the West Memphis 3 murder case.  For those unaware, three teenagers were convicted of killing three boys in Arkansas in 1993 despite the absence of physical evidence; they were eventually released in 2011 after countless private investigations.  Reese Witherspoon stars as the mother of one of the victims, while Colin Firth plays a private investigator hired to take on the case.  THR reports that Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek) and Michael Gladis (Mad Men) have joined the cast, with Greenwood set as the controversial judge who put the West Memphis 3 away and Gladis poised to play the defense attorney for suspect Jessie Misskelly, Jr.

Additionally, Deadline reports that Matt Letscher (Scandal) will play the defense attorney for suspect Jason Baldwin.  Production on Devil’s Knot begins next month, with Amy Ryan, Dane Dehaan, Mireille Enos and Alessandro Nivola rounding out the cast. ]]></description>

We’ve got a couple of casting stories regarding three very promising projects to share this afternoon.  Briefly:

	Anton Yelchin has been cast in director Jim Jarmusch’s vampire film Only Lovers Left Alive.
	Alfre Woodard joins the impressive ensemble cast for Twelve Years a Slave.
	Alessandro Nivola has scored a pivotal role in the West Mempis Three film Devil’s Knot opposite Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon.

Hit the jump for more on each actor’s casting.

Star Trek and Like Crazy star Yelchin has landed a role in the stellar ensemble cast of Jim Jarmusch’s (Coffee and Cigarettes) vampire pic Only Lovers Left Alive.  The “crypto-vampire love story” also stars Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska and John Hurt and is set to start filming this summer.  Deadline’s report on Yelchin’s casting makes no mention of the nature of his role.  The actor recently wrapped J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel and will next be seen in Odd Thomas.

Additionally, THR reports that Alfre Woodard has joined director Steve McQueen’s (Shame) period drama Twelve Years a Slave.  The film stars Chiwitel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, and Brad Pitt and tells the true story of a free black man (Ejiofor) living in New York in the 19th century who was kidnapped and forced into slavery for twelve years.  Woodard will play Mistress Shaw, “a former slave who has risen in the Southern caste system.”  The actress joins a ridiculously stacked cast that also includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti, and Paul Dano.

Finally, Alessandro Nivola (Face/Off, Jurassic Park III) has been set in ...]]></description>

Some end-of-the-week casting notes for your enjoyment.  Here they are in brief:

	 Kristopher Higgins (In Time) is in talks to join The Sweet Hereafter-director Atom Egoyan's Devil's Knot, a drama about the West Memphis Three.
	 Brooke Smith (The Silence of the Lambs), Alexie Gilmore (Surfer, Dude) and Lucas Hedges (Moonrise Kingdom) are set to join Up in the Air-director Jason Reitman's Labor Day adaptation.
	 Sonya Walger (Lost) has been added to the cast of the academic comedy, Admission, starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd.

Hit the jump for more on each film.

Deadline reports that Higgins is in talks to play Jessie Misskelley, one of three Memphis teens accused of  killing three 8-year-old boys in 1993.  Despite a lack of physical evidence linking them to the crime, Misskelley, Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin were only set free just last year.  The script, written by Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman (both of The Exorcism of Emily Rose), is currently undergoing a revision by Boardman and Egoyan.  The film, starring Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon, is an adaptation of investigative reporter Mara Leveritt's 2003 book, Devil’s Knot: The True Story Of The West Memphis Three.

From Variety comes a trio of cast additions for writer/director Reitman's Labor Day, an adaptation of Joyce Maynard's novel by the same name.  Labor Day stars Kate Winslet as a depressed single mom of a teenage son who provides shelter for escaped convict, Frank Chambers (Josh Brolin) over Labor Day weekend.  The new additions round out the cast of the ...]]></description>

Here are some casting tidbits for you to enjoy today:


	 Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) is set to topline Long Nights Short Mornings, an erotic indie for director Chadd Harbold (Revenge for Jolly!).
	 AMC's The Killing star, Mireille Enos will join Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth in Atom Egoyan's Devil's Knot, a drama about the West Memphis Three.
	 Disney's Maleficent has crowned Brenton Thwaites (Home and Away) to play the prince in the Robert Stromberg-directed adaptation.

Hit the jump for more on each project.

Game of Thrones fans will recognize Madden as Robb Stark, true King of the North, from the spectacular HBO miniseries.   Variety reports that Madden will embark on a conquest of a different sort in Long Nights Short Mornings, an indie which takes his character on a week-long tour of New York City as he sleeps with a different woman every night.  Not a bad deal for Madden.  The film is scheduled to shoot in New York City later this year.

Deadline reports that Enos is set to play Vicki Hutcheson, a mother with an eight-year-old boy who lives in a ramshackle house in West Memphis.   Hutcheson plays a crucial role as a witness in the murder trial of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. The trio was accused of murdering three eight-year-old boys, hog-tying them and leaving them in a drainage ditch.   The drama from The Sweet Hereafter director is based on the investigative reporter Mara Leveritt's 2003 book, "Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis ...]]></description>

Director Atom Egoyan’s (Chloe) next project Devil’s Knot is based on the true events surrounding the 1993 murder of three boys in West Memphis, Arkansas, and the subsequent arrest of three teens suspected of committing the murders through satanic rituals. Taking its title from the Mara Leveritt book by the same name, Devil’s Knot will presumably take a dramatic look at the investigation of the case, both by the local police involved and by journalists like Leveritt who found the arrest and conviction of the West Memphis Three highly suspicious. While details on the film are short, Reese Witherspoon is reportedly attached to star as Pam Hobbs, a mother of one of the victims who is at first convinced of the teenagers’ guilt, but starts to question their conviction once the case drags on. Hit the jump for more on Devil’s Knot.

Variety  initially reported on Witherspoon being cast for Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot. The project is similar in context to Purgatory, the third installment of Paradise Lost by documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, which screened at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. After the first two HBO documentaries, the public began to take notice of the case, as did award-winning investigative journalist, Leveritt. Her unyielding investigation was the basis for, not only the book, but also played a role in continued interest and publicity of the ongoing case.

Devil's Knot has been adapted for the screen by Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman, with Egoyan making additions. The sub-$20 million ...]]></description>

Ah, the erotic thriller. A genre of ill repute that maintained a place in American culture on home video and late night cable through the eighties and nineties, the films of their ilk have dried up in the twenty first century. Why? It’s twofold, on one hand it’s that studios – if they want to do mainstream business – would rather make a film that isn’t rated R, and on the other the rise of internet pornography and the internet in general means that any nude scene can be found online. 2010’s Chloe relies more on the intrigue of its story over tawdry thrills, as Julianne Moore plays a wife convinced her husband (Liam Neeson) is having an affair, and hires a prostitute named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to see if she can’t seduce him, and in doing so excites the wife in unexpected ways. My review of Atom Egoyan’s Chloe on Blu-ray after the jump.



Unfortunately for Chloe and everyone involved, by the time the film came out theatrically – after a number of festival screenings – the nude scenes were posted on line in fuzzy form. And unfortunately - though the film has some interesting twists and turns - Egoyan doesn’t have the right chops for this sort of movie. The film seems to fight with itself.

Julianne Moore’s Catherine Stewart starts the film preparing a surprise party for her husband David (Neeson). He’s in New York giving a presentation, and she’s got all their friends there, while her son Michael ...]]></description>

Opening this weekend is Atom Egoyan's new movie Chloe.  Starring Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried, Chloe is an erotic thriller about a long married couple and a mysterious young woman.  The movie is a remake of the 2004 French film Nathalie and it's the first time Egoyan did not write the screenplay to a film he directed.  While the film is getting great reviews, one of the reasons the movie is getting a lot of press is due to the amount of skin the two leading ladies show.  Let's just say not a lot is left to the imagination.

To help promote the film, I recently got to speak with Amanda Seyfried. She talked about the success of Dear John, presenting at this year's Academy Awards. how nervous she was about playing Chloe, filming in Toronto, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to watch the interview:

	Toronto talk - they filmed there, the movie premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, and the movie takes place in that city
	What does she have coming up - since this interview I spoke to her again and she provides a big update here

Earlier in the month we featured an international red band trailer for Chloe, the new film from director Atom Egoyan starring Amanda Seyfreid, Julianne Moore, and Liam Neeson.  Now Sony Pictures Classics has released an official green band trailer that is decidedly less European; that is to say, it features nearly all the same scenes but none of the nudity.  From the very tense footage on display, Chloe looks to be an escalating cat-and-mouse thriller infused with lust and betrayal a la Fatal Attraction.  Seyfreid seems perfect for her assigned role of seductress, given her uniquely lovely features, while Moore and Neeson are sure to bring gravitas to their potentially melodramatic roles.  More after the jump:



I am particularly interested in the shot that concludes the trailer, featuring Seyfreid looking directly into the camera.  In Egoyan's 1999 film Felicia's Journey, there is a memorable sequence where star Bob Hoskins likewise stares into the lens.  Sure enough, Journey features Hoskins breaking the fourth wall as one of the final scenes of its own trailer.  I'm not smart enough to know what that means cinematically (something about voyeurism?), but it's certainly an interesting motif from the Armenian-Canadian Egoyan that perhaps one of you wonderful commenters could enlighten for me.
Check out the official green band trailer for Chloe, and compare it to the aforementioned trailer for Felicia's Journey after the jump.  Chloe is slated to hit theaters on March 19th, 2010.

A red band international trailer for Amanda Seyfried's latest film Chloe, a sexual thriller in the Unfaithful/Fatal Attraction vein also starring Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson. Seyfried portrays the titular character, a sexy call girl hired by Moore's character to find out if her huband (Neeson) is cheating on her. Oscar nominated director Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter), who has explored this sort of subject matter before in other films such as Exotica, seems like a good fit for this taut thriller.

After Moore's character hires Chloe to seduce her husband to find out if's in fact cheating on her, Chloe becomes increasingly fatuated with the family and becomes a little too obssesed. It's nice to see Seyfried gravitate towards more mature roles, and the presence of Moore and Neeson would seem to elevate the film beyond the typical sexual cat and mouse games fare.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Chloe is set for a March 19th release date.
