Promised Land Review By: MattInRC Our 2013 movie reviews kick off with the the superficial and long-winded Promised Land . A central topic in the 2012 Presidential election focused on energy independence. Both candidates spoke about its necessity, tossing buzz words into the air like clay pigeons. Yet, the one word both treaded lightly upon was 'fracking,' the process of mining natural gas from shale deep underground. The process is potentially dangerous, having been linked to earthquakes in New York state and poisoning water supplies elsewhere. The movie Promised Land seeks to plant its flag decidedly against fracking by pitting the people of a small town against the powers of a multi-national corporation called Global. Written by stars Matt Damon (Dogma) and John Krasinski (Leatherheads), the film features a thoroughly unlikable team of gas company pitchpeople in Steve Butler (Damon) and the roughly-hewn Sue Thomason ( Frances McDormand , Fargo) as they att

Written by Damon and Krasinski and based on a story by Dave Eggers, the film tells the story of corporate salesman Steve Butler ( Damon ), who seeks drilling rights in distressed communities, and local man Dustin Noble ( Krasinski ), who looks to oppose the sale.  Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key rural town in his company’s expansion plans.

Channing Tatum In the Mix For The Upcoming Captain America Film With all this casting news about the upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America, here is more news about someone else being put in the mix. Channing Tatum has got his name in the hat now. One side of me says just cast the damn film and the other says at least they are taking their time on the casting and trying to find they right actor to play the role of Captain America. Deadline reports that Marvel has also made an approach to Channing Tatum. Coming off G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra and Dear John, I would be surprised if he went in to test for the role. But he is definitely in the mix, along with other confirmed candidates that include Fantastic Four's Chris Evans, Cloverfield's Mike Vogel and Tron Legacy's Garrett Hedlun, and Generation Kill's Wilson Bethel.

Who Will Carry the Captain America Shield? Hold the press we all heard that John Krasinski was the leading candidate for getting the lead role in the upcoming Captain America film. But more news is coming out daily. The answer of whom will hold Captain America’s shield and play alter ego Steve Rogers is still in Marvel’s hands, but the list of actors is being whittled down. Wilson Bethel, who starred in HBO’s “Generation Kill” and currently appearing in “The Young and the Restless,” is still in the running as is Mike Vogel, who appeared in “Cloverfield” and CBS’ “Miami Medical.” Meanwhile, Chris Evans, currently shooting "Safety Point" in Texas, has read for the part and has a test offer which may come to fruition next week. Garrett Hedlund has not tested yet though Marvel is very keen on him. The part calls for a nine-picture deal, the second of which would be the “Avengers” movie. That project could start shooting as soon as January 2011. Taking a shot on relative unknowns

John Krasinski Closer To Becoming Captain America John Krasinski is one of the stars from the hit Show "The Office" and is getting even closer to nabbing the role that could propel him into action hero stardom ... Captain America! Can you really see him as Steve Rogers,? He better get himself in the gym and find a trainer that is for sure. But according to FOX411 John has been in front of producers repeatedly since the start of the new year and since rumors began in February. "John has read 4 times and is doing screen tests," our source tells us. "He has screen tested 2 times so far. It's very likely that he will be the new Captain America. He is a favorite among the key decision makers and has been asked to come back for more this week." Another tidbit "The big bosses are having him read with multiple actresses up for the female leads. They want to lock down the role and then they will narrow down everyone else." "The First Avenge

Captain America Casting News It could happen as Marvel conducts screen tests this week in its search for the actor to play Steve Rogers, the alter ego of the title character in its "Captain America" movie. The company's latest superhero movie is being directed by Joe Johnston and tells the story of the young infirm man rejected from enlisting who becomes America's symbol of liberty during World War II and eventually a member of Marvel's superhero team the Avengers. About seven actors have moved to the front of the super soldier serum testing line and have either tested or are expected to screen test this week and next at Marvel's Manhattan Beach headquarters. Those known to be on the list with John Krasinski include Michael Cassidy (who appeared in"Smallvile" and who tested for the Superman movie when McG was going to direct it), Patrick Flueger (one of the stars of "The 4400" who most recently appeared in the Tobey Maguire movie "Brot
