| Tom Cruise will star in 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' movie Posted: 22 Mar 2013 01:19 AM PDT Deadline.com has announced that British director Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes) is set to direct Tom Cruise in a movie based on 1960s series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. The Hollywood actor has apparently started talks in the hope of playing one of the two heroes: spies Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin. One is American and the other is Russian but they both work within the same antiterrorist agency in the series set during the Cold War. Tom Cruise's name has been linked to the project since George Clooney's withdrawal. The latter was supposed to be directed by Steven Soderbergh who also backed out. Since then, the names of Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Joel Kinnaman and Michael Fassbender have been mentioned but nothing definite has come of it. Warner Bros. still needs to find Tom Cruise's partner. The actor already plays the lead in the Mission: Impossible franchise based on an old TV series. Filming should begin soon on a fifth installment. He will be back in cinemas in April with Oblivion. (Relaxnews) |

| Kate Winslet to star in 'Divergent' Posted: 21 Mar 2013 10:55 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - British Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has been cast in upcoming young adult film "Divergent," boosting the profile of the latest adaptation from a best-selling novel to the big screen. Film studio Summit Entertainment said on Thursday that Winslet, 37, will play the cold and unlikeable Jeanine Matthews in the film set in a dystopian future. Divergent, based on the first of a trilogy of novels by Veronica Roth, is set in a society that is divided into five factions that define how a person lives their life. The Abnegation people are selfless while the Erudite devote themselves to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. Winslet will play the leader of the Erudite, Summit said in a statement. The studio previously announced the casting of rising star Shailene Woodley, 21, and British newcomer Theo James, 28. Divergent, due for release in March 2014, is the latest young adult novel to be translated to the big screen following the conclusion of lucrative franchise The Twilight Saga and the success last year of The Hunger Games, starring new Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence. The five Twilight films, which followed the romance between a vampire, human and werewolf, grossed more than US$3.3 billion at the global box office and put studio Summit into Hollywood's big leagues. Film studio Lions Gate Entertainment, which acquired Summit for $412 million last year, released The Hunger Games in March 2012. It grossed more than US$690 million worldwide. The next installment of the Hunger Games franchise is due out in November this year, while The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones, another adaptation of a young adult novel with supernatural and dystopian themes, is due in U.S. theaters in August. |
