As if to respectfully mark the death of his creator, Jack Ryan's pensive face adorns a new poster for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit . Tom Clancy may have passed away but his famous CIA analyst, a former naval office who's battled drug barons, rogue Republicans and Sean Connery's Lithuanian accent in his many screen incarnations, lives on in a reboot that hands the Langley security pass to Chris Pine . As the artwork shows and the casting of Captain Kirk has suggested for some time, this Jack Ryan isn't a desk-bound wonk in the Alec Baldwin mould, but a ready-formed action hero. Kenneth Branagh's reboot is an origin story that returns him to his espionage beginnings - in this film, he's an injured Marine who gets the shoulder tap from CIA vet Kevin Costner to work as a high-level analyst. The pair tackle a Russian oligarch (played by director Branagh , who also directs), who combines international terrorism with shenanigans on the finance markets in a highly

DISNEY’S LIVE ACTION “ CINDERELLA ” BEGINS PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY IN LONDON. Starring Lily James, Richard Madden, Academy Award®-winner Cate Blanchett and Oscar®-nominee Helena Bonham Carter and Directed by Academy Award®-nominee Kenneth Branagh Walt Disney Pictures announced today that principal photography has begun at Pinewood Studios in London, on “ Cinderella ,” Disney’s first-ever live action feature inspired by the classic fairy tale. Directed by Academy Award®-nominee Kenneth Branagh (“Jack Ryan,” “Thor”), the film stars Lily James (“Downton Abbey,” “Wrath of the Titans”) in the title role, Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones,” “Birdsong”) as the Prince, Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett (“The Aviator”) as the infamous stepmother Lady Tremaine, and Academy Award-nominee Helena Bonham Carter (“The King’s Speech,” “Alice in Wonderland”) as the Fairy Godmother. Holliday Grainger (“Great Expectations,” “Anna Karenina”) and Sophie McShera (“Downton Abbey,” “Waterloo Road”) play

Lily James will star in Kenneth Branagh's live-action interpretation of the beloved classic tale. Disney has found someone to wear the glass slipper. Lily James (Downton Abbey) will star as Cinderella in Disney’s upcoming live-action interpretation of the classic tale. Kenneth Branagh will direct, with Cate Blanchett playing the evil stepmother. James played Lady Rose McClare on season three of Downtown Abbey. She will reprise her role for season four. The British actress' previous film work includes playing Korrina in Warner Bros.' Wrath of the Titans. Emma Watson was previously in talks to star as the famous princess, but a deal never closed. The Cinderella project was first set up at Disney in May 2010 in the wake of the studio’s success with Alice in Wonderland, the live-action adaptation of the Lewis C. Carroll book that starred Johnny Depp. Devil Wears Prada writer Aline Brosh McKenna wrote the initial draft of the script. Please Leave A Comme

Keira Knightley is in early negotiations to star opposite Chris Pine in Paramount's franchise hopeful Jack Ryan. Knightley is no stranger to the world of franchises, having starred in the three of Disney's four Pirates of the Caribbean films. The film would mark the first teaming for Knightley and director Kenneth Branagh , who also has a supporting role in the film. Although the two often inhabit the same world of Brit period corset dramas, they've never worked together. Branagh auditioned a number of women for the part two weeks ago -- including Lost's Evangeline Lilly and Like Crazy's Felicity Jones -- before re-engaging Knightley, who Paramount initially approached. The story centers on ex-Marine and Moscow-based financial analyst Jack Ryan ( Pine ), who uncovers a plot by his employer to finance a terrorist attack designed to collapse the U.S. economy. Ryan must race against time to save America and his wife ( Knightley ). The film is a prequel to

Kate Winslet is reuniting with two of her most dashing leading men — Leonardo DiCaprio and Kenneth Branagh . The Oscar-winning actress will work with DiCaprio this spring, promoting the spectacular 3D version of James Cameron’s Titantic, which was first released 15 years ago. Then she will work on a new movie with Branagh. She played Ophelia on Branagh’s screen version of Hamlet back in 1996. The two have remained friends, and now Branagh has recruited her to star in a film based on Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Burrows’s best-selling novel The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society , which will start filming in mid-March. Kate will play writer Juliet Ashton, who penned columns for a magazine during World War II. After the war, she is contacted by Channel Islander Dawsey Adams and, as their correspondence continues, the story unfolds of how a book society was established on Nazi-occupied Guernsey to fool curfew patrols. Branagh has been involved in the film’s pre-prod

Though he wasn't exactly the most likely of choices, Kenneth Branagh managed to turn Marvel's Thor into a fun, blockbuster addition to the Marvel movie canon. His name won't be on Thor 2 when it hits theaters in 2013, but Branagh says that if the timing were right, he'd love to go back to the Marvel universe. In a new interview promoting a number of projects, including the acclaimed new release My Week With Marilyn, which sees him return to the big screen as an actor, Branagh confirms that it was really only timing that kept him from returning to the world of Marvel's God of Thunder. For Branagh, directing Thor was a chance to do something he's never done before in all his years of Shakespeare adaptations and indie films: helm a massive production. "Across 20 years of making films, I hadn't spent a significant amount of time in that community, and I wanted to do that," he says. "Of all the American comics, Thor was the only one I was

MY WEEK WITH MARILYN Movie Review By: RAMA Did RAMA fall in love with Michelle Williams ' performance as Marilyn Monroe ? Make sure to Follow him on Facebook and Twitter . MY WEEK WITH MARILYN is exquisite! Michelle Williams’ portrayal of the legendary Marilyn Monroe is luminous and heartbreaking. It must be challenging to play one of cinema’s all time bombastic bombshells, Williams doesn’t look like Marilyn Monroe but she captures Monroe’s essence, her soft spoken voice and her sultry, teasing, mannerism. The moment Marilyn Monroe walks into a room, everybody drops whatever it is that they’re doing and all eyes behold her, Williams disappears in her character… In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of “ THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL ”, the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe, who, whilst shooting, was also on honeymoon wi

The film stars Michelle Williams, Kenneth Brannagh, Eddie Redmayne, Dominic Cooper, and Judi Dench . Michelle Williams As Marilyn Monroe On Upcoming Vogue Cover- In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark , just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of " THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL ", the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe, who, whilst shooting, was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller . Nearly 40 years on, his diary account “THE PRINCE, THE SHOWGIRL AND ME” was published, but one week was missing, and this is the story of that week: an idyll in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of working. When Arthur Miller makes a brief trip to Paris, the coast is cle

Patty Jenkins is the choice to direct Thor 2 for Marvel Studios. No negotiations have begun but Jenkins, who directed the 2003 Charlize Theron movie Monster and recently the pilot for AMC's acclaimed crime show The Killing , vied with several other directors for the gig, and now will become the first woman director in Marvel Studios' stable of helmers. Some outlets reported in early August that Brian Kirk, a director behind many Game of Thrones episodes, was in early negotiations to direct but those reports were wrong as Kirk never got past the meeting stage. Kenneth Branagh directed the first Thor movie, which has grossed $448.5 millions worldwide. Creative differences, especially a difficult post-production process, weighed in Branagh’s decision not to return to the director’s chair. Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins are expected to return to their respective roles. Jenkins represents another against-the-grain choice for Marvel, who has show

With THOR ruleing the box office the past two weeks it was only a matter of time before we heard news of a sqeal to the film. Cinemablend  has reported that their source said that they’ve already begun kicking around story ideas for the sequel with the hope that they’ll have it ready and in theaters in the same year as Iron Man 3, in 2013. That fits the pattern we’re seeing this summer, with both Thor and Captain America hitting theaters in the same year. Thor 2 project is still in very early stages and they don’t expect to start actually writing the script until the end of the year, internally producers are kicking around possible villains. In contention to face off against Thor are two characters named The Enchantres s and The Executioner . In Marvel Comics lore The Enchantress is a powerful Asgard sorceress named Amora. In the comics her first appearance involved an attempt to take out Thor’s love interest in order to have him all to herself. That notion seems to fit pretty
