Sequel Updates for Red 2, Thor 2, Iron Man 3, Hunger Games 2, Sin City 2, and Machete 2
24 May 2012 5:13 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Apparently the Gods responsible for handing out news to upcoming sequels (specifically of the comic book sequel variety) decided today was a pretty good day to start dishing the goods. And so, instead of creating a half dozen new posts for each little tidbit, here they all are in one sitting. Red 2 Up first, “Red 2″ may have gotten itself a new villain, and his name might just be Anthony Hopkins. The former Hannibal The Cannibal, currently playing Alfred Hitchcock, is currently in negotiations to join the geriatric cast of Summit Entertainment’s “Red 2″, playing the film’s chief villain. The role sounds familiar, too: Hopkins would play “a genius scientist who was locked up in an insane asylum.” His name isn’t Hannibal, too, is it? Hopkins would join returning castmembers Bruce Willis, Mary Louise Parker, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren, with whom Hopkins is currently starring in “Hitchcock” with. »

Anthony Hopkins to Play Villain in Red 2
24 May 2012 2:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Anthony Hopkins wants to join the cast of Summit Entertainment's Red 2! He would be taking on the role of the villain in the story named Edward Bailey. They are currently trying to figure out how to make it work with the scheduling so he can do it. The actor is already committed to reprising his role of Odin in Thor 2 which is shooting around the same time. Hopefully they can work something out, because it would be great to see Hopkins as a villain again.
Red 2 is set to be directed by Dean Parisot, and stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung Hun-Li. Hopkins is currently playing Alfred Hitchcock in a movie about the making of Psycho.
I watched the movie Heart's of Atlantis yesterday, and forgot how awesome Hopkins was in that wonderfully made film. If you haven't seen that movie »

We learned that Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren and Mary-Louise Parker will all be returning for the follow-up to the 2010 hit, joined by newcomers Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung-Hun Lee. Now it appears that director Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) has found his villain. Heat Vision reports that Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to join the cast as the film’s baddie, but he has a few scheduling issues to work out first. He’s set to return as Odin in Thor 2, which is also shooting later this year, but the actor is apparently keen on taking the Red 2 role as well. Hit the jump for more. In the sequel, Heat Vision reports that Hopkins would play a “genius scientist who was locked up in an insane asylum.” When the initial casting announcement was made I speculated »

Deborah Kerr: The Darkness Inside
22 May 2012 2:03 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Innocents communion: possessed Martin Stephens, Christian Deborah Kerr Deborah Kerr Pt.3: Socially Dubious Desires Later on, in the television miniseries A Woman of Substance (1984) and its follow-up, the TV movie Follow the Dream (1986), Deborah Kerr played a former kitchen maid-turned-businesswoman who didn’t reach the top by being all chaste and poised along the way. (Jenny Seagrove played the character as a young woman.) And once at the top, Kerr’s tycoon does whatever she feels necessary to remain there. Admittedly, Deborah Kerr didn’t create any of those characters all by herself. She did, however, bring them to life in ways that most performers, regardless of gender, would be either unwilling or unable to do. And even though Kerr once complained of her early "goody goody" roles, she surely knew what was going on inside those deceptively prim and proper women she played prior to From Here to Eternity. »

Bond Producer's Daughter Not Surprised By Alfred Hitchcock Telegram
21 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The daughter of legendary movie mogul Harry Saltzman insists 007 fans shouldn't be surprised to learn Alfred Hitchcock was considered to direct the first James Bond film - because her dad, his business partner Cubby Broccoli and author Ian Fleming had a series of wacky ideas as they plotted the iconic film projects.
A recently uncovered telegram from Fleming to novelist Eric Ambler in 1959 suggests the writer was considering Hitchcock for the first Bond film, which was initially set to be Thunderball.
Saltzman, Broccoli and the 007 creator eventually settled on Terence Young, who picked Sean Connery to play Bond over Cary Grant - the best man at Saltzman's wedding - and Roger Moore, who eventually took over the role from Connery.
And they decided to make Dr. No the first film. Thunderball became the fourth Bond movie in the series.
Saltzman's daughter Hilary tells WENN, "I've never heard about the telegram before, but Fleming was legendary for floating constant ideas about re casting and possible directors... probably too many.
"Don't forget, he also wanted his next-door neighbour Noel Coward to play the role of Dr. No... and my father contacted Salvador Dali because he wanted him to design the tarot cards for Live and Let Die! They all had wild ideas." »
Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska to star in 'Carol'

Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska are set to star together in the upcoming romantic drama "Carol." Set in 1950s New York, the film will trace the lives of two very different women -- a twenty-something department store employee (Wasikowska) and a wife and mother (Blanchett) who feels trapped in a loveless marriage -- whose circumstances ultimately bring them together. "Carol" is based on the novella "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith, whose work has been adapted for the big screen in such noted suspense films as Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train" and, later "The Talented Mr Ripley," starring Matt Damon and Gwyneth »

Cannes 2012: Hitchcock, 'Spring Breakers' and a Topless Man Introduces 'On the Road'

When I was taking a picture of a giant banner for Walter Salles's On the Road, which is playing in competition here at the Cannes Film Festival, I had no idea this gentleman was standing just above the banner, shirtless and looking on at all the madness below. Along with that, I have the a few additional pieces of marketing for upcoming films I've seen on the streets of Cannes including banners for Kar Wai Wong's long-delayed The Grandmasters, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Total Recall, a giant display for Madagascar 3: Escape to Africa, a massive Alfred Hitchcock banner, another look at the Django Unchained banner and one final banner for Spring Breakers, which I also cropped and re-sized in the final picture in the below gallery.

Girls on film: how Tim Burton finally got his vamp right
18 May 2012 2:02 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
You can't really be an auteur until you've got your type – and that's just as true for the women directors
Tim Burton's Dark Shadows may have received a kicking from critics, but one person has emerged from the dust-up unscathed: Eva Green, the French actress who plays the evil witch Angelique Bouchard. With her red-lacquered lips, her crazy-beautiful eyes and possessed-marionette limbs, Green's lolling vamp represents the perfection of a type Burton has long been trying to get right – from Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman in Batman Returns, to Lisa Marie Smith's bosomy Martian in Mars Attacks!, to Anne Hathaway's White Queen in Alice in Wonderland.
Critics may be tired of the rest of Burton's directorial signatures – the ornate production designs, the seventies kitsch, the collaboration with Johnny Depp – but he's finally perfected his vamps: peroxide-blonde, big-chested, cinch-waisted, eyes like Bambi's.
All film directors have their types. Everyone »

Cate Blanchett And Mia Wasikowska Will Seduce Each Other In John Crowley's Carol
18 May 2012 10:03 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The novels of mystery writer Patricia Highsmith have been inspiring film and television thrillers since 1951, when Alfred Hitchcock translated her Strangers on a Train into a blockbuster and haunting classic. Highsmith has developed a reputation for twisted tales of violence and murder, but her latest adaptation will focus on a more elusive theme in her works: the love that dare not speak its name. Number 9 Films and Film4 are co-producing Carol, a drama based on Highsmith's controversial novel The Price of Salt, and have secured coveted leading ladies Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska to star. Boy A helmer John Crowley will direct the adaptation, translated to screen by Phyllis Nagy, who wrote and directed the Ben Kingsley-Annette Bening drama Mrs. Harris. Originally published under a pseudonym in 1952, Highsmith's book centered on the romantic relationship that evolved between two women, Carol and Therese, who meet in a bustling New »

Set Photo Round-Up: First Look at Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh in Hitchcock; Ben Stiller and Adam Scott Face Off in Walter Mitty
16 May 2012 9:29 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
We’ve got a couple of set photos to share this morning. First up is Scarlett Johansson in Hitchcock. Last month we got our first look at Anthony Hopkins in his full, uncanny makeup as legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock for the film. Directed by Sacha Gervasi, the pic follows Hitchcock through the troubled production of Psycho, and we now have our first look at Johansson as the film’s “star” Janet Leigh. It’s not the best image, but Johansson does certainly look the part. This project is incredibly high on my most anticipated list, especially with a stacked cast that includes Helen Mirren, Jessica Biel, Toni Collette, Danny Huston and more. Additionally, we’ve got our first images of Ben Stiller and a fake beareded-Adam Scott fighting over a Stretch Armstrong doll for some reason in the remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Stiller is directing the project, »

First Look At Scarlett Johansson As Janet Leigh In 'Hitchcock'
16 May 2012 8:39 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Alfred Hitchcock seems to be firmly in the zeitgeist at the moment: the British Film Institute is showing an extensive retrospective of the director's work later in the year, and the next twelve months or so will see not one, but two biopics of the legendary master of suspense. The first, "The Girl," is made for British television and focuses on the relationship between Hitch and his "The Birds" star Tippi Hedren, with Toby Jones playing the director and Sienna Miller taking on the actress's role.
But a far starrier take has been behind cameras for a few weeks now: "Hitchcock" (formerly titled "Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho"), which sees Anthony Hopkins' take on the filmmaker, with a supporting cast including Helen Mirren, Jessica Biel, Michael Stuhlbarg, James D'Arcy, Toni Colettte, Danny Huston and Michael Wincott, among others, and "Anvil!" director Sacha Gervasi at the helm. As the old title might suggest, »
