When director Ben Wheatley's next project High Rise was announced, I was excited because it's Ben Wheatley. When Tom Hiddleston and Jeremy Irons joined the film, I was even more excited because it's Tom Hiddleston and Jeremy Irons. Now, Luke Evans has been added to High Rise and...wow.
It took a little while for America to embrace the charms of comedienne Rebel Wilson, but I think that we're all beginning to come around. The highly enjoyable actress is rivalling Melissa McCarthy for comedic popularity right now, and today, she has joined the Sacha Baron Cohen-penned comedy Grimsby, alongside Baron Cohen and Mark Strong.
Award-winning actress Ruby Dee, best known for her parts in A Raisin in the Sun, American Gangster, and Do the Right Thing, died on Wednesday at the age of 91.
When Disney acquired Lucasfilm, it also purchased the rights to hundreds of unmade scripts and outlines that were once to be a live-action television show typically known as Star Wars: Underworld. Within those scripts, we now hear that there was a lot of work on the Han Solo backstory.
I am not certain whether to be excited or nervous about the return of Dumb and Dumber characters Harold and Lloyd, about twenty years after their first appearance on the big screen. On the one hand, it's certain to be fun to see Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels together again after all this time.

When he's not being Wolverine - which is kind of what he does most of the time - Hugh Jackman is transforming his body and soul for art. Well, maybe not soul and maybe not art, but he has shaved his head for his role as Blackbeard in Joe Wright's Pan.

It's been a few years since Josh Brolin joined the Coens' gang, putting in an excellent turn as one of the main characters in No Country For Old Men and True Grit. Now The Wrap reports that the actor has signed on to appear in their next film, Hail, Caesar!
You have to give Marvel Studios credit: they are doing an excellent job at drumming up interest for Guardians of the Galaxy. If you were unaware of this particular Marvel franchise prior to the marketing campaign for the film, then you must at least have some mild interest in it by now. If you don't, it's none of Marvel's fault. Between TV spots, trailers, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and character posters, Marvel is doing its absolute best to get mainstream viewers into the seats when Guardians opens in Augus
It must be nice being Bryan Cranston. Coming off of the incredibly popular and multiple Emmy Award winning show Breaking Bad, the actor stepped into some pretty big shoes, playing President Lyndon Johnson in Robert Schenkkan's play All the Way. He then went on to take home a Tony for Best Lead Actor last night. Now, today, there's talk of Steven Spielberg optioning All the Way for a miniseries, with Cranston reprising his role as the brilliant and acerbic Johnson.
She might not be getting her own stand-alone Black Widow film any time soon, but that is not going to stop Scarlett Johansson from kicking some serious butt. Her latest outing, in Luc Besson's action thriller Lucy, gives the actress a chance to exercise her brain as well as her formidable fighting skills.
