I've already posted about how Clive Owen is going to be in 'Intruders', and to my delight I've just found a Teaser trailer about this film. Another film that he will be in is 'Cities'. This film is going to be a financial thriller.
The story of it is: as the DOW-Jones index reaches it's all time high, and New York hedge fund manager grabs for greater quantities of money, power and sex. But at the same time as this a young English couple struggle to get their first house deposit together. And in Mummbai -just one of the locations for the film-, a policeman who will be played by Anil Kapoor comes up against corruption among property developers and his own colleagues.
Roger Donaldson who directed who directed the more than dodgy 'Bank Job' in 2008 will direct this film and it will be produced by Matthew Metcalfe, Chris Curling and Julie Christie will be producing. This film will be starting shooting in October. Also, not only is Mumbai going to be one of the locations for the film but London and New York will also be locations.
Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia
This film is about the end of the wold and I have to say that when Empire Magazine brought the trailer to my attention a couple of months ago I have to say I thought that it was an arty indie film, but the trailer left me with more questions about what the film is going to be like so I think this calls for a trip to the cinema when this is released on July 1st.
This film also stars: Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Alexander Skarsgard, Stellan Skarsgard, Charlotte Ramploing and Jon Hurt.
However, I hear today that Kirsten Dunst is now going to be in a new wedding themed comedy that will be produced by Will Ferrall and Adam McKay via their Gary Sanchez production company. Not only will Kirsten star in this indie film but Lizzy Caplan, Adam Scott and Casey Willson. Leslye Headland wrote this script but you wouldn't see or recorgnise her name as she is normally associated with stage plays. This film is only in its getting together stage, as they are still looking for actresses to play the third friend in the story.
The story behind the film goes as follows: Three best friends are asked by a women they used to call 'PigFace' behind her back- to be her bridesmaids at her wedding, but it turns out that the women has her own reasons for inviting them. Kirsten's part will be one of these friends who can either be your best friend or be your worst enemy. Caplan's character is also one of the other friends who is described as 'a sex godess with the brain of a Larry David type'.
Caplan will share some screen time with Adam Scott who will play her high school crush. Ferrell and McKay are at the moment trying to get some money so as to fund this film. This has already got a working title already that will likely to change. At the moment it is called 'Bachelorette'. But no release date as yet.
Anonymous:the film about was it Shakespeare who wrote his plays?
I've heard a bit about this film at the end of last year. However, Roland Emmerich's 'Anonymous' which will be released on 30th September goes on the trail of a conspiracy theory:
What if William Shakespeare wasn't the one who wrote his plays?
The leading man for this film is Rhys Ifans who plays Edward De Vere (The Earl Of Oxford) who for this film at least is preposed as the 1920's study of William Shakespeare.
Starring alongside Ifans will be: Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis (in Harry Potter as the werewolf who was friends with Harrty's parents), Xavier Samuel (he played Riley in the last Twilight film), Sabastian Arnesto (he played Edmund Sparkler in Little Dorrit), Rafe Spall (you'll recognise his name already from either 'Shaun Of The Dead' or 'Desperate Romantics') , Edward Hogg ( you'll recognise him from 'The Mighty Boosh'), Jamie Campbell Bower (he was in 'Sweeny Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street' as the guy who fell in love with Sweeney's/ Brnjamin Barker's daughter) and Derek Jacobi (this name you'll recognise but you might have seen him in 'Underword II').
See what you think of it, let me know what you think.

Rachel Weisz news...
It's not yet been confirmed but Sam Raimi who will be directing Disney's film that will tell the story of what happed in OZ before the whole Dorothy story came about.
This story see James Franco play a shy salesman who ends up going to Oz when his baloon gets caught up in a tornado. Once in Oz the man who claims that he's magical finds himself in real trouble when he meets the witches who live their-Theadora and Evanora-. Theadora will be played by Mila Kunis and Evanora will maybe played by Rachel Weisz. Here we see that despite Theadora trying to do the right thing but when her romantic intentions towards Franco are spurned she starts to go down the path towards the dark side, but this only too well encouraged by her sister.
As I mentioned before this though hasn't been confirmed or denied. This though might be a stretch as Weisz is set to star in the new James Bond 23 film that has been pushed back to start shooting later this month.
David Lindsay-Abaire who wrote 'Rabbit Hole' (with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart in it) has drafted up the first look script to this movie that's going to start shooting in July.
Not only will Rachel Weisz star in this new James Bond but the other films you'll be able to see her in this year are: 'The Deep Blue Sea' (this is a romantic drama) and 'Page Eight' (this is a spy thriller)

Ridley Scott and Kevin McDonald: Life In A Day
Kevin McDonald and executive producer Ridley Scott edited together a unique filmaking experiment as of last year on July 24th people around the world picked up cameras and recorded their days. 80,000 clips were uploaded onto YouTube which is a WOW moment in itself, but the main aim of this project was to see the similarities and differences of people across the world.
The poster for this film shows just a few of the people who's footage made the cut in the editing proccess for this film. This must have been a mamoth editing job especially when it was McDonald who was also directing 'The Eagle' at the same time as he was doing this film.
This will be in cinemas on June 17th.

Piranha 3DD Sequal
Yes, your ears aren't burning there will be a sequal to the film that saw these fish terrorise 'Spring Break' for many teenagers.
But this time they will be terrorising people at a new summer water park called 'The Big Wet Water Park' by infesting it's pools and other parts of the park through it's water pipes and plumbing.
Apparently Gary Busey is 'going to don his speedos' according to Empire Magazine. Jon Gulagur will direct, with Danielle Panabaker, Matt Bush, Chris Zylka, David Koechner, Megan Tandy and Adrian Martinnez making up the rest of the cast.
Tina Bowden who you'll recognise from '30 Rock' will also feature in this film. The film will be coming to cinema screens on November 25th.

Stephanie Meyer is at it again...with the Host
Now that her 'Twilight Saga' of books have been made into films that have been highly successful for her as well as highly addictive for everybody of all ages, the world of cinema want to make her other book 'The Host' a film too.
I have to say that I read this book and for me it was very very slow in it's pace and nothing really happened action wise unlilke in the Twilight films where there was some promise of action. But I read this on Empire Magazine's website this mornig and I have to say I was in some amount of shock as I thought straight away that production companies are only knocking this out onto cinema screens following the success that Stephanie Meyer has had with Twilight and the massive amount of press that has come about with her new film 'Red Riding Hood'.
Anyhew, I find myself rambling. Saoirse Ronan is lined up to be the lead roles. I say roles because in the book the story is that Souls have attacked Earth and people are being used as 'Host's' for these Souls so as for them to survive. These Souls have been described as small headed things with long tentacles that wrap themselves down the spine's of the Host and takes them over, but as well as this they wipe out the memories of the host. But this is when things go ascew... the other lead role that she will be playing is Wanderer who takes over Melanie Stryder's body.
Melanie fights though and Wanderer starts to feel things that Melanie feels and starts having flashbacks of Melanie's memories before she was cornered and captured by people who were getting the 'Hosts'. Then this leads to a long drive to Chicago.
There has been no mention of who is going to direct or produce this but according to Deadline this film has been trying to get itself off the ground for some time. There was says Deadline the director of 'Gattica' Andrew Niccol s' name thrown in the mix to adapt the script as well as direct it but he dropped out, so the director of the 'Nanny McPhee' name was thrown in but she also dropped out. However, Niccol's name may be back in the mix as his project 'Now' that he dumped this for as this sci-fi adventure is nearly finished.
Also, the producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz who did 'The Road' are planning to sell the distribution rights of this film at Cannes so as to give the film some publicity.
As yet there is no news on when this will start shooting or when it will be released. So this is again on the downlow, on the qt and very hush hush...
