| Posted: Tom Cruise's upcoming sci-fi thriller will be called Edge Of Tomorrow. Edge Of Tomorrow has been announced as the title of Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt' upcoming sci-fi thriller, directed by Doug Liman and based on the book All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. The movie, from Warner Bros Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, is set for a release on June 6 next year, and the first look at footage from the film will be unveiled by the studio at the 2013 International Comic-Con: San Diego on July 20 (Saturday). The announcement was made on Monday by Sue Kroll, worldwide marketing and international distribution president of Warner Bros Pictures.
The epic action of Edge Of Tomorrow unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Lt Col Bill Cage (played by Cruise) is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop – forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over again. With each battle, however, Cage is able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy. The international cast of Edge Of Tomorrow also includes Bill Paxton (Aliens, HBO's Big Love), Kick Gurry (Australian TV's Tangle), Dragomir Mrsic (Snabba Cash II), Charlotte Riley (World Without End), Jonas Armstrong (BBC TV's Robin Hood), and Franz Drameh (Attack The Block). – Source: Warner Bros Pictures |
| Posted: Mowgli and friends are returning ... to the big screen. SEVERAL movie studios are simultaneously working on the famed adventures of Mowgli, first told in Rudyard Kipling's 19th-century fables, yet again for the big screen. The Jungle Book has already been adapted numerous times, though the most famous version is still Disney's animated musical of 1967. Nonetheless, this collection of fables clearly hasn't yet exhausted the imagination of movie studios in Hollywood and abroad. After adapting Alice In Wonderland (2010), Sleeping Beauty, Maleficient (due out in 2014) and Cinderella (directed by Kenneth Branagh and slated for 2015), Disney continues to co-opt the classics. Justin Marks, who wrote The Raven (2012) and Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li (2007), has been attached to script a live-action Jungle Book for Disney. Meanwhile, Warner Bros has put its own scribe on it, attaching Steve Kloves, who has adapted all but one of the Harry Potter series, to write and direct this project. As if that weren't enough, DQ Entertainment (Ireland) Limited is planning to start up its own features department with a 3D adaptation in 2014. So the next few years are going to be chock-a-block with little jungle boys raised by she-wolves, along with happy-go-lucky "bare necessities" bears, benevolent black panthers and bloodthirsty tigers. – AFP Relaxnews Del Toro's monster BRITISH actor Benedict Cumberbatch, known for the BBC series Sherlock and as Khan in this year's Star Trek Into Darkness, is set to play the Mary Shelley classic in a remake which Guillermo del Toro has been developing for years. According to the Daily Telegraph, del Toro has not given up on his idea of adapting the novel for the silver screen. The project was initially supposed to star his longtime collaborator Doug Jones (Hellboy), but apparently the director has finally opted for Cumberbatch instead. The English actor, who'll also be starring in del Toro's gothic haunted house flick Crimson Peak, has the advantage of already having played Frankenstein on stage. In 2011 director Danny Boyle had Cumberbatch and co-star Jonny Lee Miller take turns playing Dr Frankenstein and his creature at the Royal National Theatre in London. Before del Toro's project gets under way at Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox is already planning its own version by 2014, featuring Daniel Radcliffe as Dr Frankenstein's assistant Igor. – AFP Relaxnews |
| Ad-Rock in talks to act in a film Posted: Adam Horovitz, aka Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys, is in discussions to join Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts in Noah Baumbach's indie movie While We're Young, an individual familiar with the New York-set project has told TheWrap. Horovitz made his acting debut as a troubled Los Angeles youth opposite Donald Sutherland in the 1989 drama Lost Angels, though he hasn't tackled a substantial movie role in two decades. Written and directed by Baumbach, While We're Young stars Stiller and Watts as a married couple that strikes up an unlikely friendship with a free-spirited younger couple, to be played by Adam Driver (Girls) and Amanda Seyfried (Lovelace). Schedule permitting, Horovitz would play a married friend of Stiller and Watts' characters who just had a baby and can no longer relate to the childless couple or why they feel the need to hang out with twentysomething hipsters. Scott Rudin and Eli Bush are producing the long-gestating project, which will start production this fall. After Lost Angels, Horovitz went on to tackle a supporting role alongside Matt Dillon and Max von Sydow in the 1991 thriller A Kiss Before Dying, as well as appear in the 1992 road trip movie Roadside Prophets.He recently played himself in a 2009 episode of 30 Rock and starred in the Beastie Boys concert documentary Awesome: I F***** Shot That, as well as Spike Jonze's Funny Or Die short Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win. On the music side, the Beastie Boys had songs on the soundtracks for both of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies. Horovitz also provided music for The Ben Stiller Show in 1992. He's represented by WME. — Reuters |
