Brad Pitt Might Battle Aliens
24 November 2009 3:37 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Reliance Big Entertainment and Brad Pitt's Plan B are in the process of developing a film version of the yet to be released video game, Dark Void. Pitt is hinted to star as the lead assailant.
They have picked up the rights to Capcom's third person shooter in order to develop it as a potential star vehicle for Pitt, who is also the lead role in another upcoming Plan B release, the fifth Terrence Malick feature, Tree of Life. The two companies have yet to find writers to pen the Dark Void script.
The story of Void follows a cargo pilot named Will who ends up in a parallel universe after crashing in the Bermuda triangle. Will discovers a world populated by a violently aggressive species of alien that leads him to join a band of humans who fight the alien threat long thought to be extinct. Although outnumbered »
‘Conan’ Screenwriters Map Out ‘Uncharted’ Movie
23 November 2009 7:20 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and its recent sequel are great adventure videogames that springboard off of Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider, with much more fluidity and cinematic flair than we’re usually accustomed to in gameplay. That said — it’s a videogame, and like all videogames, it will shine most brilliantly as something interactive, while a film will only diminish its value.
Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, the screenwriters behind A Sound of Thunder, the upcoming Conan, and Sahara have been tasked with bringing Uncharted to life on the big screen.
As an adventure film, this has plenty of potential — about as much as it stands to derive many of its qualities from the Indiana Jones franchise. However, that vacuum left by Indy’s last crusade has never been successfully filled by any successors; could Uncharted transcend the usual flaws of videogame adaptations and become a truly great action-adventure franchise? »

'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune' Adaptation Goes To 'Conan' Writers
23 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
I sure do love waking up to video game adaptation news, especially when it's as exciting as the latest update. For anyone who owns a PlayStation 3, one of the few must-own titles is undoubtedly "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" (and now its sequel, "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves"). Great game, in the running-and-jumping-and-climbing-and-shooting vein of the "Tomb Raider" series, with amazing graphics and an overall presentation which feels pulled straight from a Hollywood blockbuster. The story is pure popcorn, with an "Indiana Jones" kind of vibe, a plucky female sidekick and a gang of villains pulled straight from central casting.
News broke over the summer that Sony would be guiding "Uncharted" to a big screen adaptation, with "Hitman 2" (another, as-yet-unreleased game adaptation) writer Kyle Ward delivering a script. Well Ward's now out, according to a report yesterday on Latino Review. Replacing him -- assuming negotiations go well -- are "Conan" reboot writers »

Gay of the Dead #28: The Lair, Season Three (Part 2 of 2)
18 November 2009 10:00 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
What can I say about Sybil Danning that would be a surprise to anyone? Gorgeous, talented, fun to watch. In whatever project she appears, Danning is always completely committed. Watching her as I have over the years, I see not only chops, but a healthy sense of humor as well. I feel like she “gets it,” if that makes any sense. (And after this interview, I’m even more of a fan.) Courtesy of friend Fred Olen Ray, Danning joins all the vampire fun on The Lair in this third season.
Sean Abley: We’ve actually met very briefly—I moderated the Lair panel for the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in La months ago. I was incredibly intimidated by meeting you. You’re Sybil Danning! But you turned out to be very sweet, and even asked me if it went Ok afterwards. You’ve now worked with my friend Dylan Vox twice, »

Sexy 'Salt' Poster
17 November 2009 6:48 AM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
JoBlo has an exclusive look at the "Salt" teaser poster. And it doesn't tell you anything about the movie at all. But, it does tell you that Angelina Jolie is starring in it, and I guess they felt that was enough.She looks sexy as all hell in the picture, but besides that, is using Jolie as the sole selling point really a good idea? I mean, yeah she's been in some action movies that have made bank, but I assure you it wasn't because of her (Examples: "Tomb Raider" is a brand name; "Mr and Mrs. Smith" was marketed as a must see summer movie from the director of Jason Bourne; "Wanted" was also marketed in the same vein). I guess we shall see.For now, just look into those eyes. She will slowly lie you down on a fluffy cloud little boy, and make you into a man. »

Pitt & Jolie Design Jewellery For Charity
16 November 2009 8:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have turned jewellery designers to launch a collection of accessories benefiting the actress' children's charity.
The Hollywood couple has teamed up with exclusive British jewellers Asprey for a selection of high-end gold and silver pieces inspired by serpents as part of The Protector line.
The range includes diamond-studded pendants and rings, baby spoons and picture frames, all featuring the reptile, and are priced from $525 (£330).
According to Wwd.com, Jolie chose the snake theme after being gifted a ring in the shape of a snake while she was pregnant with the couple's first biological daughter, Shiloh, in 2006.
Proceeds from the Protector range, which is being sold at Asprey stores in London, New York, Los Angeles, Toyko, Japan and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, will be donated to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, an organisation the Tomb Raider star co-founded in 2006.
In a statement about the charity, the stars say, "These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place - to just be children.
"Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school." »
Angelina Jolie 'to adopt Syrian baby'

Angelina Jolie has apparently applied to adopt a baby from Syria.

Jolie To Adopt Again - Report
12 November 2009 12:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Angelina Jolie is reportedly set to add to her brood of seven children by adopting a baby from Syria.
The Tomb Raider star is planning to take home a little girl from the Middle Eastern country, according to U.S. magazine Ok!
But reports claim Jolie has begun the adoption process without her partner Brad Pitt, prompting speculation the Fight Club star doesn't want any more children.
A spokesperson for the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Washington D.C. reportedly confirmed that "only (Angelina's) name was on the (adoption) papers."
The actress has three adopted children, two little boys from Asia - Maddox and Pax, and a daughter, Zahara, from Africa, as well as three biological kids with Pitt - Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. »
Angelina Jolie in New Teaser Trailer as Agent Salt
4 November 2009 5:42 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
I love salt, all types of salt really – Sea salt, table salt, rock salt and Evelyn Salt. Not familiar with that last one? She’s next summer’s female action spy played the ever so pouty-lipped Angelina Jolie. At one point, Tom Cruise was rumored to be attached to the Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, The Bone Collector) directed secret double agent yarn but ultimately, Noyce and company decided to go with a more feminine touch. Good move guys!
Jolie has proven time and again that she is the go-to woman in Hollywood for lead female action roles. Say what you want about the Tomb Raider movie, but as Lara Croft there can be no other woman playing the part. Same goes for her roles in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and last summer’s Wanted. In Salt, she appears to be just as convincing while playing a wrongly accused woman on the run. »

Russian trailer for Angelina Jolie’s Salt
3 November 2009 3:07 PM, PST | Filmonic.com | See recent Filmonic news »
I’m sure Columbia didn’t intend for anyone to see the first trailer for Angelina Jolie’s Salt in Russia (apart from the Russians obviously) but that’s what’s happened. From the trailer it looks like Jolie has returned to the same action form we saw from her in Tomb Raider and Wanted, although as it is [...] »

Prince Gyllenhaal
3 November 2009 3:00 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
One of the things I've never quite understood about videogames turned movies is how you're supposed to play them.
But I miss Jake Gyllenhaal so here he is all acrobatic like in The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
More Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Info
I haven't yet read any internet opinions about this new trailer, so haven't a clue what the consensus is but if it's hugely negative, I'm here to say that that's just silly. This looks exactly like the other video games turned movies (Tomb Raider) or movies that seem like they're based on video games even when they're not (The Mummy... or wait, was that?). They're all marketed in this same bombastic way with loud music, "fun" bits and CGI heavy promises of spectacle. Though I can't remember offhand if most trailers for films of this genre spend this much time describing »

Review: Henry Jaglom's New Play Rocks
31 October 2009 3:45 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Henry Jaglom, the iconic writer/director whose films include: Eating, Someone To Love, New Years Day, Hollywood Dreams, and most recently Irene in Time, was kind enough to sit down with me and talk about his life, his art and his new play Just 45 Minutes From Broadway. Joining us was his muse, and very talented actress, Tanna Frederick who stars in Irene in Time, Hollywood Dreams and currently in Henry's new play. I can't think of anyone who makes films like Henry does. He is an artist in the true sense of the word. His lead characters are often women, and I'm not talking Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), but real women who share their deepest thoughts and feelings. Henry told me he gets his understanding of women from his mother. She allowed him to explore... »

Bruce Willis Confirmed For ‘Kane & Lynch’
21 October 2009 11:55 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Back in the summer of 2008 Screen Rant reported on the fact that John McClane himself, Bruce Willis had attached himself to star in the still up and coming video game adaptation, Kane & Lynch. In case you’re not familiar with it, the game is about a former mercenary (Kane) and a psychopath (Lynch) forced to “work” together. Fast forward (or “flash forward,” to give a hat tip to ABC’s great new TV show) more than a year and we have solid confirmation of Willis’ casting from the producers of Kane & Lynch themselves.
Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter recently spoke to the guys over at Collider while at the 2009 Scream Awards where, amongst other video game adaptations, they spoke a little about Kane & Lynch. On top of letting us know about a tentative production start date of early 2010 (Spring or early Summer at the latest), they also confirmed Willis’ casting with a smooth and simple, »

Bruce Willis Confirmed in Kane & Lynch, Hitman 2 Update
21 October 2009 8:55 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
It’s been a while since we heard anything on the videogame movie “Kane & Lynch” (over a year now, in fact), but according to producer Adrian Askarieh, Bruce Willis has indeed signed on to play Kane, with casting for the pivotal Lynch character still in the works. Also, they’ve nailed down a director in former second unit man Simon Crane, who has done work on “Troy” and “Tomb Raider”. According to Askarieh, it was easy to get Willis, since the “Die Hard” star called the “Kane & Lynch” script written by Kyle Ward (who is also penning “Hitman 2″) one of the best action scripts he’s ever read. Major kudos, considering that, well, Willis once read the script for “Die Hard”, and some consider that the best action movie ever made. For the gamers out there, the movie won’t exactly follow the game, but will maintain the basic premise. »

‘Tourist’ Moving Forward
20 October 2009 5:18 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
With February set to be the start of production on the upcoming Spyglass Entertainment thriller The Tourist, the studio is working on getting all the loose ends tied up.
Tom Cruise was originally considered to star in the film, but opted to go with Fox’s Knight and Day instead. In his place, Spyglass is planning on having Angelina Jolie play the film’s lead. Jolie, who has several other offers on the table, is ready to make The Tourist her next project, on the condition that the right director is found.
Spyglass has been looking, and director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck is their top choice to take on the film. No official negotiations have been worked out yet, but if von Donnersmarck agrees to making The Tourist the film will remain on track to be released in 2011.

Ben Foster and Donald Sutherland Take Up Shop With Jason Statham in The Mechanic Remake
15 October 2009 11:40 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
I haven't had much reason to look forward to the upcoming remake of Charles Bronson's The Mechanic. Sure, having Jason Statham in the lead role as a weary hit man seems like an easy sell, but you have to temper that with the fact that Simon West (Con-Air, Tomb Raider) is directing. I had relegated the project in my mind as yet another schlocky action fest that Statham was simply too good for---that is, until we learned that Ben Foster and Donald Sutherland will be joining the film. Foster will play an apprentice to Statham's character, and Sutherland will portray Statham's handler and Foster's father. If Foster can bring even half of the intensity he's portrayed in 3:10 to Yuma and (to a lesser extent) Alpha Dog, it'll make this film worth a look for me. Foster also proved he can hold his own against the towering on screen »

The Tourist Loses Theron, May Get Jolie
12 October 2009 8:20 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Charlize Theron as an Interpol babe looking to use Sam Worthington to ambush a criminal might have been interesting, but Angelina Jolie in the same role just makes sense. It is, after all, one of those sly, seductive, badass roles that Jolie seems to have cornered in recent years, with turns in “Wanted”, the “Tomb Raider” movies, and the upcoming “Salt”. Her latest may be replacing Theron on the thriller “The Tourist”, though no one has confirmed Theron’s departure or Jolie’s interest as yet. A remake of the French thriller “Anthony Zimmer” from 2005, “The Tourist” was originally supposed to star Tom Cruise as an American tourist who is thrust into Interpol’s manhunt for a wanted criminal. The role has since gone to Hollywood “It” boy Sam Worthington. Theron would have played the Interpol cop chasing the criminal and who decides to use the tourist to do it. »

Jolie To Replace Theron In The Tourist?
12 October 2009 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Angelina Jolie is the latest star tipped to join an upcoming remake of cult 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer.
Both Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise were signed to star in the project, to be retitled The Tourist, which tells the story of a female agent on the hunt for an elusive ex-boyfriend, who becomes a wanted man.
Cruise pulled out of the film to star in Wichita with Cameron Diaz, and was replaced by Sam Worthington.
Tomb Raider star Jolie is the latest star to enter the film's revolving door and is in negotiations to fill in for original leading lady Theron after she dropped out. »
