Movement is beginning again on the long-in-development adaptation of Elmore Leonard‘s “ Freaky Deaky ” with a new actress boarding the project. The Playlist has learned that Camilla Belle (”10,000 B.C.,” “From Prada to Nada”) is attached to star in the film, with reps for the actress confirming her involvement. Based on Leonard’s 1988 novel, the Detroit-based narrative features a twisty plot involving a bomb-making ex-couple with radical politics who reunite for a score worth millions, while a cop with bomb squad experience tries to take them down. And while the crime-and-police milieu is familiar ground for Leonard, the bomb-making plot adds a twist to the author’s usual terrain. The project first started picking up steam during TIFF last year when William H. Macy signed to the film, and we presume he’s still involved (reps didn’t return inquiries at press time). A number of names are said to be circling the project at the moment, but two rumored actors— Sam Rockwell and Hayd

Now that Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan have settled on Henry Cavill for their Man of Steel, the question remains: Who'll play the dazzling urbanite journalist who'll capture his heart? We put together a list of eight potential leading ladies. The Daily Planet's second-most-famous reporter has been played lots of ways over the years: From the screwball comedy of Margot Kidder in 1978's Superman to the flighty no-way-we're-buying-that-you-won-a-Pulitzer daffiness of Kate Bosworth in 2006's Superman Returns. But Ms. Lane needs to have two qualities: the restless intelligence of a killer newshound and an inner tenacity. Which of today's actresses can fit the bill? Here are some contenders: KRISTINA ANAPAU Resume: Black Swan, Self Medicated, Cursed She is relatively unknown the actress had her big break this year starring Black Swan. I had a chance to talk to her which she did give me a tease about the role. Interview will be up this weekend.

We've known for a while that Nick Fury would be popping up in Captain America , and hoped and assumed that he'd be appearing in Thor , too. But we weren't 100 percent sure until we heard  Samuel L. Jackson  say it himself. Jackson appeared last night on Jimmy Fallon Live, where he dropped the news: Read more and watch the video after the Jump... "In the next month or so, I have to do one day on Thor, and I got to do another day on Captain America, and in April we start The Avengers, the big deal with everybody. ... Thor and Captain America are pretty much done, but I haven't done my part in them yet. I'm just connective tissue for them to join The Avengers." Jackson also mentioned that on Friday he'd be screen-testing with five actresses, one of whom will get to play "my sidekick who's with me all the time." No word yet on which Marvel Comics character some lucky actress will get to bring to life. Please Leave A Comment- Sou
