Well, Will Ferrell's miniseries "The Spoils of Babylon" is shaping up to have one of the more interesting casts in recent TV history.

Jeremy Irvine & Phoebe Fox To Star In 'The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death'
30 April 2013 6:00 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Whether the success of “The Woman in Black” was down to it being Daniel Radcliffe’s first big post-'Potter' role or simply a yearning from audiences for old-school chilling horror, it performed well enough at the box office ($127 million worldwide) to justify a sequel. Anyone who saw the first film will know that a direct sequel wouldn’t be the easiest thing to pull off, so “The Woman in Black: Angel of Death” will pick up 40 years later during World War II at Eel Marsh House, and will focus on a new couple being haunted by the titular ghoul. And now it looks like the film has found that young couple. They’ll be played by “War Horse” star Jeremy Irvine, and the considerably less well-known Phoebe Fox. Irvine’s done pretty well for himself since “War Horse,” with leading roles in “Now Is Good” and “Great Expectations,” while »

Jeremy Irvine and Phoebe Fox to lead Hammer’s The Woman in Black: Angel of Death
29 April 2013 8:21 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Following the astounding success of last year’s The Woman in Black, which became something of a sleeper hit around the world for Hammer Films, we first heard late last year that Tom Harper had come on board to direct the sequel, The Woman in Black: Angel of Death.
We saw a pretty snazzy promo poster surface back in November, at which time we were still in the dark about who would be taking the leads this time around in Daniel Radcliffe’s place.
And now Hammer have announced that Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Phoebe Fox (Switch) have signed on to take the leads for the sequel, set several decades after the original.
The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death will continue the story four decades later. Seized by the government during World War II, the sudden arrival of a group of evacuated children at Eel Marsh House awakens its darkest inhabitant. »

Oscar-Nominated Kids Who Tried to Become Adult Stars
26 March 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
"The Host" hits theaters this week, and for many fans it's a chance to see whether the popular Stephanie Meyer novel can become a pop culture phenomenon like "The Twilight Saga" did before it.
But for other film buffs, "The Host" represents something else: The continuing development of star Saoirse Ronan, who famously earned an Oscar nomination for 2007's "Atonement" at the age of 13. Will "The Host" finally turn her into an A-lister and ensure that she avoids the child star curse ... or will she become the latest of Oscar's children to experience their biggest career highlight before being legally able to drive?
Personally, we think Ronan has the goods to become a legit superstar ... but Hollywood can be a tough town, for kids and grown-ups alike. Here's a look at some of the kids in the past who have earned Oscar nods and what ended up happening to them. »

Schindler's List director working with Kubrick's family on project late film-maker predicted would be 'the best movie ever made'
Steven Spielberg is set to bring Stanley Kubrick's unfilmed screenplay about the life of Napoleon to the small screen.
Interviewed by Canal Plus on French TV at the weekend [segment begins at 9:14], Spielberg said he was working on a TV series in conjunction with the late film-maker's family. "I've been developing a Stanley Kubrick screenplay for a miniseries – not for a motion picture – about the life of Napoleon," he said.
Kubrick is said to have abandoned his long-gestating screenplay about the French revolutionary hero turned conqueror of Europe in the 1970s after Hollywood studios refused to fund it. Kubrick is said to have engaged in meticulous research for his planned film, with Oskar Werner and Audrey Hepburn offered the leading roles.

Daniel Radcliffe to Play Igor in Frankenstein

Update: Daniel Radcliffe will go from playing upright wizard to creepy assistant. The Harry Potter star is in final talks to play Igor, Dr. Frankenstein's hunchback assistant in 20th Century Fox's Frankenstein.
One can only assume Radcliffe will take inspiration from Dobby in how to say "Master" in the most disconcerting manner.

Sept. 6, 2012 - A year after announcing Real Steel director Shawn Levy would be directing Max Landis' (Chronicle) take on Frankenstein, 20th Century Fox and Davis Entertainment are now announcing Paul McGuigan (Push, Lucky Number Slevin) will helm instead. Fox's vision of the project, which is said to focus on themes of friendship and redemption, was a low-budget picture; Levy wanted to make a big budget spectacle.
Sept. 2, 2011 - 20th Century Fox is taking one big lumbering step forward on its Frankenstein movie, one of Nine that are currently in development, by hiring Night at the Museum director-producer Shawn Levy. »

The 12 Creepiest Uncles In Movie History
28 February 2013 6:45 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
In the new thriller "Stoker" (in theaters Friday), a girl (Mia Wasikowska) whose recently lost her father suspects the motives of the uncle she never knew she had. Matthew Goode plays the enigmatic "Uncle Charlie," surely a nod to the main character in Alfred Hitchcock's film "Shadow of a Doubt," in which a small-town girl discovers her beloved uncle is really a serial killer. We doubt that's this Charlie's secret but it's often true in films that you simply cannot trust your uncle. Take Hamlet's wicked uncle, Claudius, whose dastardly plan has inspired more than one cinematic villain's plot to seize power. Of course, Shakespeare also drew from real life, since murderous uncles and young heirs unfortunately go hand in hand. And then there are those uncles who get away with a different kind of murder, whether it's neglect or outright abuse. Here are 12 of the creepiest, no-good movie uncles we could find. »
