Sources say the actor has been so difficult that some on set have fantasized about using the facial-replacement technology being deployed to put Paul Walker in the film for Diesel as well. It's slow going on Universal's Fast & Furious 7 , and sources say it's not just because of the technical demands of re-creating late star Paul Walker. According to sources, star Vin Diesel has been so difficult that some on set have fantasized about using the facial-replacement technology being deployed to put Walker in the film as a sub for Diesel as well. "Vin spent a whole day in his trailer one day," says one insider. "The next day, they waited four hours for him. He called a meeting [May 28] of studio execs to his trailer for two-and-a-half hours to say, 'What the f— am I doing here?' " The next day, work was done with doubles. Another source confirms that progress has been frustrating, with the crew suffering from "low morale." Universal

Two relative unknowns are set to tackle the roles in the long-gestating Universal project. After more than five years, four writers and a tough-to-please trio that holds cast and script veto power, Universal's N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton is finally getting the green light. Sources say the studio has assembled its leading threesome to tackle the roles of Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and the late Eazy-E. The three parties with approval—Cube, Dre and Eazy-E's widow Tomica Wright—have signed off on the actors who will play the core members of the seminal rap group. It's no secret that Cube has been lobbying for his son, O'Shea Jackson Jr. , 24, to be cast as the teen version of his father, and it appears he got his wish. Less known is the classically trained actor who is said to have won the role of Dre, Marcus Callender . Although the alum of New York's Shakespeare Lab at the Public Theater might be more familiar with Chekhov than Compton's gang-plagued stre

After changing names a couple of times like a sneaky vampire, the new take on Dracula’s origin is now going by the moniker Dracula Untold . Luke Evans is the man with the fangs (at least, we assume, at some point) and Universal has put out two posters from the film to tantalise your eyes. Little has been released about the movie so far, save for the fact that it will be a new look at how the character we know from Bram Stoker’s Dracula has his roots in a real man. Evans’ Vlad Tepes is initially shown as an honourable but troubled man who fights for his people and will go to any lengths to protect his family. Unfortunately for him, “any lengths” includes “making a dark pact that sets him on a path to become one of fiction’s most iconic monsters.” It’s a bit like agreeing to let Capita run your public services, but obviously less annoying. From the looks of the imagery so far, the filmmakers – including director Gary Shore, who scored the gig thanks to some effective work in sho
