When a Werner Herzog film starts casting, you know that it's going to be a little weird. But there are gradations of weird, and right now Herzog's adaptation of Vernon God Little is ranking right up there. Yesterday we reported that British comedian Russell Brand was in talks to join the so-called 'school shooting satire' and today we learn that both Mike Tyson and Pamela Anderson are also considering joining the cast.
Marvel has been meticulously constructing a movie universe for itself over the period of many years and so far, the studio has been successful in connecting the plot strands introduced in various films - a remarkable feat, considering that many of the films are helmed by different directors and take place in different time periods. But with great franchise comes great responsibility, and Marvel continues to have its work cut out to keep all of their properties making sense.
Despite the many arguments against post-converting films to 3D, studios still do it just to squeeze a few more dollars (or Euros) out of their viewers. The next film to receive a 3D conversion is Darren Aronofsky's upcoming Biblical epic Noah, with the added wrinkle that the 3D version will only play in international markets.
When you have a film directed by Gary Oldman and starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, and, in a recent casting move, Amanda Seyfried, you would think that it would have no trouble getting funding. This is apparently a falsehood, because Flying Horse has all those factors and still cannot get enough money to actually begin filming.
There's a lot more to Tom Hiddleston than playing Thor's little brother. He recently worked with auteur of the bizarre Jim Jarmusch on Only Lovers Left Alive, and proved how sexy villains can be in a series of Jaguar commercials.

The Aaron Paul vehicle Need For Speed has been getting a healthy dose of buzz recently, including a Super Bowl commercial and early press screenings. It appears to be all set for its premiere in a bit over a month but come the release on March 14, audiences will have the option of seeing the film in either 2D or 3D, as Need For Speed undergoes a fast 3D conversion.
What do you do when you hire one of the most attractive men in movies to star in your musical comedy? Cover his face with a paper-mache head, obviously. That is what happened to Michael Fassbender, who stars in the odd musical-comedy Frank and appears to spend the entire film with a big painted head.
While we may or may not get another Quentin Tarantino pseudo-western sometime in the future, we are most definitely going get to a Seth MacFarlane pseudo-western. For his next film, A Million Ways To Die In The West, the director takes a swing at Blazing Saddles. We've already seen a red-band trailer for the upcoming flick and today, we have the latest green band trailer to share with you.
Well, will wonders never cease? After a very public tantrum that began with a leaked script and ended with a lawsuit, Quentin Tarantino might very well be returning to his abandoned western The Hateful Eight. If rumors are true, then the director has intentions of rewriting his leaked script and going ahead with the film.
When Hollywood superstar and performance artist Shia LaBeouf announced his retirement, the cinematic and art worlds came to a crashing halt. Fortunately, it seems like Mr. LaBeouf has heard the public's urgent pleas that he reconsider his decision to leave us alone in the cultural wasteland. A mere three weeks following the actor's painful announcement, he has returned to his adoring public, signing onto indie comedy Rock The Casbah and allowing us all to breathe a sigh of relief.
