Leonardo DiCaprio to Play Presidential in Biopic ‘Wilson’
Though Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, he's yet to win an Oscar. It seems he wants one, as Warner Brothers has optioned a Woodrow Wilson biography for DiCaprio to produce and star in, likely in the hopes of netting him a gold statue.
‘Fast and Furious 7′ Brings Back Lucas Black
It's true! In keeping with the strange continuity of the franchise, Lucas Black is being brought back as Sean Boswell for 'Fast and Furious 7' to co-star alongside franchise regulars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
‘Back to the Future’ Helmer Robert Zemeckis in Talks to Take on ‘Chaos Walking’
Though the latest round of Young Adult adaptations have mostly been misses ('Beautiful Creatures,' 'The Host,' 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones'), the success of the 'Twilight' and 'Harry Potter' adaptations means that Hollywood will keep returning to that well. Now the genre could produce its biggest (or at least most prestigious) title yet: Oscar winner Robert Zemeckis is in talks to helm the first book in the 'Chaos Walking' series from a script written by Oscar winner Charlie Kaufman.
‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes’ is Delayed, May Go Away Entirely
'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' came out less than three weeks ago, but box office-wise (at least domestically) it's done. Having made less than $30 million stateside, that number is less than half of the film's production budget. So it's no surprise that production company Constantin Films is delaying the start of the sequel 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes.'
Ben Affleck to Direct and Produce ‘The Middle Man’ for FOX
Though Ben Affleck is surely in training to put on the cape and cowl for his turn as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming 'Batman Vs. Superman' movie, the Oscar-winning filmmaker has just lined up his next directorial assignment. The catch is it's for the small screen, as he will be producing and helming the pilot for the new FOX show 'The Middle Man.'
‘Batman vs. Superman’ Might Want Justin Bieber For Robin
Justin Bieber seems to have a script for 'Batman vs. Superman' and is suggesting he might be up for the part of Robin. This is a true thing that happened. Seriously.
‘Beverly Hills Cop 4′ May Get Some Help From Jerry Bruckheimer
When the 'Beverly Hills Cop' TV show failed to get off the ground, word was that Paramount might instead go with a new film installment of the franchise (which had been rumored for a while, with Brett Ratner supposedly set to direct it). The latest rumblings suggest a fourth film might happen, with Eddie Murphy reuniting with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who was behind the first two movies.
‘Grudge Match’ Trailer: The Raging Bull Fights Rocky For Chuckles
Since Robert De Niro has been spoofing his mafia roles and tough guy image for more than a decade now, it shouldn't be surprising he's goofing on another of his signature roles (this time Jake La Motta) for a new comedy. In 'Grudge Match' he plays an over-the-hill boxer who returns to the ring to fight one of his toughest opponents, with Sylvester Stallone (playing on his Rocky Balboa character) as his rival.
‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ Likely to Feature the Return of the Millennium Falcon
If we feel a little mixed about 'Star Wars: Episode 7' bringing back Harrison Ford's Han Solo, or Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia, it's only because seeing the passage of time on the actors might be distracting. But the original 'Star Wars' trilogy's ships and technology are ageless, so it's exciting the latest rumor is that the Millennium Falcon will be a part of the new films.
‘Fast and Furious 7′ Adds ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Star Djimon Hounsou
'Fast and Furious 7' keeps adding to its cast, with Tony Jaa, Rhonda Rousey and Kurt Russell all recent additions. But now the 'Fast' family has grown even larger as Djimon Hounsou is the latest to join the sequel.
