BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Idris Elba Has No Good Deed

Idris Elba ’s film career is going great guns at the moment, with a heartily varied range of roles. And now it looks like he wants to try his hand at being truly menacing. He’s signed on to co-star with Taraji P Henson in the thriller No Good Deed . The act of charity in question involves Henson as a former District Attorney who has opted to become a stay-at-home-mom to her two children. Their lives take a turn for the scare-shaped when they offer a ride to a compelling stranger whose car runs off the road in front of them. Cue kidnapping, terror and, we’d expect, Henson getting the chance to be tough. Clearly, there is a lesson to be learned from all of this: do not ever five strangers a ride from the side of the road even if they are as seemingly as charming and handsome as Idris Elba . Among Giants director Sam Miller, who oversaw the majority of Luther episodes, is on board to make the film starting next month in Atlanta. Elba will next be seen in Ridley Scott’s Prome

Nicole Kidman To Star In The Railway Man

It’s all change, please for one of the major roles in drama The Railway Man as Rachel Weisz ’ involvement has fallen victim to pesky scheduling issues. While she was all set to co-star alongside Colin Firth , Weisz will now have to spend her time on reshoots for both Oz: The Great And Powerful and The Bourne Legacy . But her timing misfortune is lucky for Nicole Kidman , as she’s stepping in to take the part. Jonathan Teplitzy is directing the film, which follows the harrowing real-life story of Eric Lomax. Taken prisoner by the Japanese forces during World War II, Lomax was tortured and forced to work on the notorious “death railway” in what was once known as Burma. War Horse’s Jeremy Irvine is on board to play the younger Lomax, with those scenes filmed on Australia’s Gold Coast. But before that happens, Teplitzy and his crew will kick off shooting in Scotland this April to make the modern-day sections of the film, which finds Lomax (Firth) and his wife Patti (Kidman) faci

Joel Kinnaman Is Robocop

Updated:  Deadline reports that Kinnaman is now confirmed for the role. Even as we write this, MGM is paying a group of criminals to blast him to pieces, whereupon their best scientists will merge his head with a robot body (they're going the lose the arm) to become the future of law enforcement... While he burst on to the international scene playing a man caught up in crime in Daniel Espinosa’s Snabba Cash, Joel Kinnaman has been spending a lot of his time acting as a police detective in the US telly remake of The Killing. Now all that law enforcement experience might come in handy, because MGM has offered him the lead in the Robocop reboot. Elite Squad director Jose Padilha is aboard to call the shots and he’s been flipping through the usual go-to list looking for the right star to fill Alex Murphy’s metal helmet. There were brief, unsubstantiated rumours floating around about Russell Crowe, and Michael Fassbender was said to be in the running. But now Kinnaman, who l

The Unknown Soldier Schwarzenegger's Next Film

Our good friends over at TheArnoldFans are covering the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio. They took part in the " Breakfast with Arnold " event held on Friday morning in Columbus, Ohio, and they were able to get a real big exclusive out of the returning on-screen action hero. I asked the Austrian Oak how he enjoyed being back on movie sets and to tell us about his next projects. Before today's breakfast, all of his fans were confused about Arnold signing on with Stallone and Jim Caviezel in The Tomb when we all thought he had an April 1st start date of Black Sands . But he drops the bomb about another film he will be working on called The Unknown Soldier  which will be directed by the Bandito Brothers. The team behind  Act of Valor. Arnold Schwarzenegger : "I had a terrific time after my work as governor to be asked as Stallone to be in Expendables 2 , so I flew to Bulgaria and worked there for a few days and it was fantastic! They had Van Damme in the movie and

Ralph McQuarrie Passes At The Age Of 82

It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Ralph McQuarrie . People say you should never meet your heroes. Ralph was the exception to that rule. We were all fans of his amazing art long before we were blessed with his friendship. But once you got to know Ralph it was impossible not to become a fan of Ralph the man. Ralph was a very special person for many more reasons than his undeniable brilliance with a brush. He was an especially kind, sensitive, deep, modest, funny and fascinating gentleman. And as fine a role model as any one could have wished for. His influence on design will be felt forever. There's no doubt in our hearts that centuries from now amazing spaceships will soar, future cities will rise and someone, somewhere will say... "that looks like something Ralph McQuarrie painted."

Bruce Willis Is "Five Against A Bullet"

Bruce Willis has signed on to star in action thriller Five Against a Bullet . The official synopsis for Five Against a Bullet is as follows: "A Mexican politician who, after his father is killed by a drug cartel, hires the five best bodyguards from around the world to protect him through a contentious election." Producers Lorenzo DiBonaventura, Jordan Schur and David Mimran are developing the project for Columbia Pictures/Mimran Schur, president of production Hannah Minghella announced.

"We look forward to moving Five Against a Bullet into production quickly." Sam Dickerman and Lauren Abrams will oversee the project for Columbia, while Erik Howsam, who brought Five Against a Bullet to the

Scarlett Johansson Is A Psycho

As Sacha Gervasi gears up to bring a chunk of cinematic history to life with Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho , he’s locked down two stars to play the most iconic elements (besides Hitch himself) for the film-within-the-film: Scarlett Johansson will be Janet Leigh and James D’Arcy is playing Anthony Perkins. The Making Of Psycho chronicles the legendary director’s struggle to get the horror classic made at a time when the thriller / horror genre was frowned upon and he was ridiculed for even trying the idea. John McLaughlin, Tom Thayer and Stephen Rebello (who wrote the book the film is based on) have written the script and Anvil! director Gervasi already has Anthony Hopkins on board to play Hitchcock with Helen Mirren now confirmed as his wife, Alma Reville. This could end up as a My Week With Marilyn-style awards baiter, with Johansson potentially in line for glory. But that’s getting a little ahead of things: first she has to actually appear in the film. Assum
