Angelina Jolie Could Join The Counselor

Insiders tell us that Ridley Scott's planned Cormac McCarthy narco-thriller, The Counselor , is rapidly heating up, so much so that Twentieth Century Fox is now in active discussions to distribute and possibly co-finance the movie — provided Scott gets the white-hot cast he's seeking. For instance, on top of Michael Fassbender , who has previously been confirmed to star (which would mark his second collaboration with Scott following this summer's Prometheus ), a Fox insider tells us that Angelina Jolie is in talks with Scott to take a small part. The film, based on an original script by McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Road and No Country for Old Men , is about a lawyer who wants to get just a little bit involved in the drug business. He then discovers that there's no such thing as a little bit involved in the drug business. Intriguingly, Disney announced yesterday that Jolie's upcoming film Maleficent will be released in the United State...

Zenescope Entertainment has announced that actress Lena Headey , star of the immensely popular HBO television series GAME OF THRONES , will be joining the Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Series to voice the lead character, Sela Mathers . Lena ’s extensive resume includes her role as Queen Gorgo in 300 and as Sarah Connor in TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES .

Ben Kingsley Vs Iron Man?

Though most of the recent Marvel hoopla has been about the impending arrival of Avengers Assemble, no one should forget that we have a third Iron Man outing scheduled to start shooting in May. But while the film already has a co-writer / director in Shane Black and a built-in hero in Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark, nothing has been revealed about any possible villains. But now we know that Ben Kingsley is in final talks to play a bad guy. Which one? Fans of the comic shouldn’t immediately leap to the conclusion that he's the Mandarin, since Marvel and Disney are naturally staying quiet over the details. Quick pre-spoiler warning for the next chunk, since no one knows for sure if the plot points mentioned will crop up, but just in case… Rumours have spread since March and Latino Review's report that Tony will get involved with nanobot technology, as seen in Warren Ellis’ 2005 six-issue Extremis comic book run. The high-tech solution turns Stark into the walking embodiment...

Ghost Protocol Blu-Ray Review

Does Mission Impossible IV: Ghost Protocol , return Cruise to Top Gun status, or do further damage to his once legendary reputation? Let's see what Matt C thought about the film For those of you who remember Tom Cruise before "The Couch," before the strange marriage to Katie Holmes and his weird fascination with Scientology, you are lucky. From Risky Business and Top Gun, to A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire,Cruise owned the movies. Then came that interview with Oprah, and that plus a string of flops (Minority Report, Collateral) sent audiences running. Mission Impossible III, now 6 years in the mirror, failed to draw audiences, and even the very good Valkyrie failed to attract much attention. Any actor would love that sort of filmography attached to their name, but the mystique Cruise created for himself has understandably kept audiences away. So, does Cruise he redeem himself with MI:IV? The Movie – 4.5/5 The answer is an enthusiastic yes. MI:IV is a ter...
