Mamma Mia star Dominic Cooper slated for Saddam Hussein thriller

10 November 2009 12:09 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia) is set to star in the upcoming action-thriller true story The Devil’s Double for Paradigm Motion Picture Finance Group .

Cooper will play Latif Yahia, “a dead ringer for Saddam Hussein’s sadistic and widely despised son Uday who was forced against his will to stand in for Uday in potentially dangerous situations.”  Through his access, Yahia gained access to Hussein’s inner sanctum and witnessed terrible corruption, violence and nuttiness.

Ludivine Sagnier is also in talks to star in the project which begins shooting in January in scenic Malta.

Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day) will direct from a script that Michael Thomas adapted.

Last month, while promoting his latest film, An Education, in the U.K., Cooper talked about the rumored prequel to Mamma Mia. “Unfortunately you say sequel, I’ve heard a terrible similar word beginning with a ‘p’, which absolutely outs my existence in it whatsoever, »

8 November 2009 1:43 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Daniel Craig, best known as the reigning James Bond, will join the cast of the upcoming psychological thriller Dream House.

Filming will begin in January and will run through April in Toronto.

Craig’s next project is The Adventures of Tintin set for a release in 2011.

Send This Movie to 10 People, or Face the Consequences

8 November 2009 1:10 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

I don’t know about you, but I remember chain letters being huge when I was about nine or ten years old. You know how they go: You get a letter, it tells you a story of some sort, then advises you to pass the letter on to a certain number of friends or have bad luck.

People rarely ever take these letters (or in today’s technology based society, e-mails) seriously, but next year we may feel more inclined to do so.

New Films has picked up the rights to Chain Letter, a horror film by Deon Taylor that follows a serial killer who targets teenagers who don’t follow through on forwarding chain letters.

Chain Letter, which will star Nikki Reed, Betsy Russell, and Brad Dourif, is already being looked at as a franchise possibility. The film will be released next year, produced by Todd Slater through Slater Brothers Entertainment. »

Is Jennifer Connelly Quitting Hollywood?

31 October 2009 9:35 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Every so often a Hollywood celebrity will talk about quitting the business, taking time off to spend with family...or will go on late night talk shows looking disheveled and mumbling about how they're heading off on an adventure to start a musical career.

Now comes word that Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly is about to quit the biz. In an interview with the UK's Daily Mirror, Connelly revealed that after What's Wrong with Virginia? finishes shooting, she will likely not sign on for any more projects.

"The biggest thing for me is wanting my kids to grow up safely and have happy lives," said Connelly. "To me that's enough. The family is the most important thing to me. I'm very blessed. I have gorgeous, healthy, funny kids and a good husband."

Connelly's father passed away recently, prompting a very sorrowful time for the 38 year-old actress. "...I went through a really »

Little horror movie that could: ‘Paranormal Activity’ steals No.1 from ‘Saw VI’

25 October 2009 7:11 PM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Overly-hyped horror flick Paranormal Activity bested its new spooky nemesis, Saw VI, to land in the No.1 spot at the box office this weekend.

In its fifth week, Paramount’s low-budget horror flick made another $22 million to earn a gross of over $60 million. Not bad for a movie that cost just $15,000 to make.

That’s bad news for Lionsgate as their latest installment in their franchise horror product came in at No.2 with $14.8 million. Is Jigsaw played out or is the media machine for Paramount working overtime?

Paramount originally released Paranormal Activity to a small selection of theaters across the country. Based on solid word-of-mouth combined with a large media campaign, a groundswell of people were told to “demand” that the film open in full release. It happened and now the little-movie-that-could has been the most talked about film since…well, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen…and for better reasons. »

'True Blood' Star Ryan Kwanten To Go Superhero For 'Griff The Invisible'

20 October 2009 1:02 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

From Anna Paquin's history with "X-Men" to Stephen Moyer's upcoming turn in "Priest" — not to mention Alexander Skarsgård's near-miss with "Thor" — the cast of "True Blood" is starting to realize that as cool as vampires are, nothing beats the comic book scene.

Now, it appears that Ryan Kwanten — who plays the dim-witted Jason Stackhouse on the HBO vampire drama — is getting in on the action, as Moviehole reports that the Australian-born actor is shooting a superhero romantic comedy in Sydney titled "Griff the Invisible."

Not only does the film mark Kwanten's first official foray into the world of superheroes — though it's not the first time his name has appeared on Splash Page — it's also the directorial debut for the film's writer-director Leon Ford.

Speaking with Moviehole, Ford described "Griff" as a cross between the superhero and comedy genres, with a central romantic subplot focusing on "two very »

20 October 2009 6:14 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

The Hollywood vampire craze is leaking into comic book territory with the upcoming movie "Priest," an adaptation of the popular manga series. The film already has "Twilight" and "True Blood" credibility thanks to performances from Cam Gigandet and Stephen Moyer, but there's a sci-fi veteran is bringing a little bit of space into the movie as well.

Karl Urban Talks Priest And Star Trek Sequel

18 October 2009 10:59 PM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

This past weekend, Spike TV held their annual Scream Awards (more on that later today), at the event the folks at Collider got the chance to talk to “Star Trek” and “Priest” actor, Karl Urban. The obvious topic on their fanboy lips was of course, Star Trek 2.

Urban starred in this year’s J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek as Leonard “Bones” McCoy, so who better to ask about part 2 right? According to Collider:

Urban said “It would be great to have another Star Trek out for 2011.” He explained a script is in the works and that co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman expect a draft to be completed by December. As far as details are concerned, Urban is just as anxious to see where the second film will take the crew of the USS Enterprise as we are.

Well I’m glad to hear it! Given the fan reaction »

Exclusive: Karl Urban talks Star Trek Sequel and Priest on the Red Carpet

17 October 2009 9:35 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

At tonight’s 2009 Scream Awards (airing on Spike TV October 27th) I was able to interview a number of people on the red carpet. While I already posted my interview with Jackie Earle Haley talking about the Sinestro rumor, I also got to speak with Karl Urban and was able to get an update on the “Star Trek” sequel and “Priest”. According to Karl, the plan is still for a draft of the screenplay to be turned into the studio this December and he hopes to be filming mid to late next year. He said the hope is for the sequel to be released in 2011. And for fans of “Priest”, he talked about how that movie has been going. Watch what he had to say after the jump.

Before watching the interview…know I didn’t have a camera person helping me tonight. So if the framing isn’t perfect… »

New Character Posters for Paul Bettany's 'Legion'

17 October 2009 9:00 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Paul Bettany could have a good 2010 on the horizon. For that matter, so could director Scott Stewart. They've teamed up for Legion, due out in January, and Priest, coming next October. One's a vampire movie and the other deals with the apocalypse. Based on the fact that Bettany's wearing wings in this poster, which one do you think Legion is?

If you guessed vampire, please try again. Legion is one of those apocalypse movie that has some stuff foretold in the Bible, or that's the story. Bettany stars opposite Dennis Quaid and several others, although at Comic Con, all we really saw was a teaser poster featuring Bettany as the angel Michael.

Bettany et al are featured in these new character posters that were premiered at JoBlo. I guess technically it's a character banner, since all the shots go in sequence and work collectively. You can see the full thing over at JoBlo, »

Bold Films Developing Action Thriller ‘Psy-Ops’

14 October 2009 12:28 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Bold Films (The Hole) has snagged the psychological action thriller Psy-Ops, which was conceived by director Scott Stewart (Legion, Priest) and written by Gus Krieger, writer of the upcoming psychological thriller The Killing Room.

Psy-Ops will tell the tale of a covert U.S. military unit of “psychological operatives,” whose specialty is “exploiting their target’s deepest fears.” During a routine mission (funny term for a covert specialty unit) to the Amazon, the Psy-Ops discover something even They are afraid of.

 

At first glance I thought this film was about psychic soldiers at war (See: The Men Who Stare At Goats). On the one hand that mistaken impression seems like a much more interesting concept; on the other hand, it’s also a concept that I’ve been developing as a film-in-my-head for some time now, so I was relieved when I realized this Psy-Ops flick was about something totally »
