Kevin McDonald's upcoming submarine actioner, Black Sea, has been coasting on the waves for some time now. If you've not heard of the movie, that's not unlikely. The film went into production last August, and it's been a year since we were first granted a still from the movie. Following on from the news in July revealing a release date, Universal Pictures have delivered the first trailer for their underwater adventure thriller.
Focus Features have added veteran actor, William Hurt to the cast of their Jesse Owens biopic, Race. The actor will take on the role of Jeremiah Mahoney, the president of the Amateur Athletic Union, who spearheaded efforts to boycott the 1936 Olympics.
Katherine Heigl is exorcising some personal demons in the new red band trailer for Home Sweet Hell. The ex-Grey's Anatomy star, who has been lambasted in the column inches and blogosphere for being a difficult actress to work with, takes an axe to all that talk... and then makes Patrick Wilson follow suit.
If you caught last year's drowsy Southern drama, Mud, the name Jacob Lofland will be one you might recognise. Failing that, his character's monicker - Neckbone. In Jeff Nichols' insightful childhood pic, Lofland rose above the slumbering pace of the otherwise cracking movie. His quick delivery and earnestness marked him as a promising star to keep an eye on. Now, that promise has come to pass, as Lofland has been cast in YA sequel, Maze Runner: Scorch Trials.
A few months back, we heard news via Badass Digest that Universal had ordered a set of reshoots on their vampire reboot, Dracula Untold. The specifics surrounding the new footage were hazy at best. What we do know is that the studio had opted to lens a few extra pick-up scenes so that the movie could be slotted into its upcoming "monsterverse." Their proposed rebooting of their hottest - and oldest - monster properties fully intends to base itself on Marvel's Cinematic Universe model.
Are you surprised? No, of course not! The Twilight Saga, that trend-setting YA trilogy adaptation that brought in a colossal $3.5 million worldwide, is not over yet. The most astonishing part of today's news is that Lionsgate waited nearly two years since the last instalment's release to announce a series reboot.
A quick glimpse into the We Got This Covered news archive on Iron Man 4 is like watching a tennis ball constantly being volleyed across a net. Yes, there's going to be a fourth instalment. No, it's unlikely. Yes, it'll possibly happen but without Robert Downey Jr. When exactly will a firm stance on Marvel's most successful cinematic character arrive? That day is not today, folks.
James Franco's list of personal and professional achievements continues to dazzle and/or perplex the public at large. Between his mission to adapt William Faulkner's most unfilmable novels, impress the New York art scene with his canvases, and become an established author via his volumes of poetry and short stories, the man somehow fits in time to produce movies as well. On that note, today we're hearing that his production company, Rabbit Bandini, will be producing a frat hazing flick titled Goat.
Currently on a brief hiatus from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Ben Affleck is deep in press mode for Gone Girl. The mystery thriller-cum-narrative headscratcher is riding a wave of critical praise leading up to its general release this Friday. In the movie, Affleck's nuanced performance as a troubled husband is proof that his stints in front of the camera are equally as impressive as those behind. While there was a time when it seemed he'd be leaving acting behind - after his Argo Oscar triumph - that's definitely not the case.
Sony Pictures are keen to follow-up their 2009 zombie horror hit with a sequel. Some five years after the fact, Zombieland 2 has now bagged a writer to pen the next stage of Ruben Fleischer's zombie apocalypse story.
