Have Firth, Blunt & Sandler Joined ‘Murder Mystery’?
29 April 2013 3:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
It’s a mystery for sure!
Over the weekend it was reported that Colin Firth, Emily Blunt and ‘funny man’ Adam Sandler had joined Charlize Theron for the John Madden-directed Murder Mystery. The plot follows a newly-wed couple who visit Europe on their honeymoon, only to become involved in a murder scandal. The news was posted by Nrw Filmstifftung (who seem to be funding the project), but within hours of the post the statement was retracted. Representatives for both Colin and Emily have come forward to deny their clients involvement with Murder Mystery, but it all seems a little strange. Have they signed on? Or is this just typical Internet-based folly? We’ll have to wait and see.
If the news is true, what do you think of the casting? I absolutely love both Firth and Blunt and it’d be great to see them together on screen. Sandler, »

Colin Firth, Adam Sandler & More Join Madden's 'Murdery Mystery'?
26 April 2013 11:13 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Well, this is certainly a strange assembly of talent. Charlize Theron is already attached to star in and produce self-explanatory comedy called Murder Mystery from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Shakespeare in Love director John Madden. And now she might be joined by some interesting American and British talent. THR reports Nrw Filmstifftung made a casting announcement saying Colin Firth, Emily Blunt and mediocre comedy giant Adam Sandler were all boarding the project, however, a few hours after the news surfaced, the company redacted their statement and took it off their funded project list. We're not really sure if the announcement was just premature, but representatives for Blunt and Firth have said the two are not involved in the project. That could just be damage control, or they might just be saying that if there's not a done deal. Either way, I like the sound of this project, and »

Colin Firth, Adam Sandler, Emily Blunt Join Murder Mystery
26 April 2013 8:50 AM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Comedy thriller Murder Mystery is the follow-up to director John Madden’s international hit The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel with Charlize Theron coming aboard to star. The latest additions to the comedy whodunit are Colin Firth and Emily Blunt, who star in Dante Ariola’s rom-com Arthur Newman, opening today as well as comedy champ Adam Sandler. Penned by James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider-Man) the film will shoot for 25 days in Western Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia region. The Agatha Christie-esque caper follows an American couple in Europe who witness a murder, only to find themselves accused of murder, and are drawn into a web of international intrigue....

Colin Firth, Emily Blunt & Adam Sandler Will Solve A 'Murder Mystery' With Charlize Theron
26 April 2013 5:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
So, there's two ways to look at this story: as a reteaming between Colin Firth and Emily Blunt, who star in "Arthur Newman," opening today, or as the rare non-Happy Madison outing by Adam Sandler. We'll let you decide which one you want to go with, but the bottom line is this is a pretty good, and unexpected cast for this upcoming comedy. First announced last summer, the aforementioned trio will be joining Charlize Theron in "Murder Mystery," which is pretty much exactly what the title implies. Penned by "Zodiac" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" writer James Vanderbilt, the Agatha Christie-esque story follows an American couple on honeymoon in Europe who have to go on the run after witnessing and being accused of murder, and are drawn into a web of international intrigue. Yes, it's a comedy, but it will also apparently have dashes of suspense and romance as well. »

Charlize Theron To Star in Vigilante Thriller From 'The Killing' Writer
25 March 2013 1:27 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
We're starting to suspect that Charlize Theron is planning on cloning herself. It was only on Friday that news emerged that the Oscar-winner, hotter than ever after the success of "Prometheus" and "Snow White & The Huntman," had signed on to a new comedy called "Ladies Night," adding to the long list of bubbling projects that also includes sci-fi "Agent 13" with Rupert Wyatt, Scott Derrickson's horror "Zwart Water," crime thriller "Cities of Refuge," John Madden's "Murder Mystery," a biopic of Marie Colvin, a remake of "Sympathy For Lady Vengeance," Seth MacFarlane's comedy "A Million Days To Die In The West," and an adaptation of Gillian Flynn's "Dark Places." And now she's only gone and added another, with Heat Vision reporting that the actress has set up an as-yet-untitled crime movie at Paramount through her Denver and Delilah shingle, in which she'll star and produce.

Charlize Theron To Star In Comedy 'Ladies Night,' Directed By Fred Savage (Yes, That Fred Savage)
22 March 2013 11:54 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Thanks to the success of "Prometheus" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" last summer (as well as her acclaimed, if ignored-by-awards-bodies performance in "Young Adult"), Charlize Theron is more in demand than ever before. The actress has already wrapped one blockbuster, "Mad Max: Fury Road," and has lots more bubbling under waiting to be picked out as her next project: sci-fi "Agent 13" with Rupert Wyatt, Scott Derrickson's horror "Zwart Water," crime thriller "Cities of Refuge," John Madden's "Murder Mystery," a biopic of Marie Colvin, a remake of "Sympathy For Lady Vengeance," Seth MacFarlane's comedy "A Million Days To Die In The West," and an adaptation of Gillian Flynn's "Dark Places." And somehow, she's found space for one more, as The Hollywood Reporter brings news that Theron will star in the comedy "Ladies Night," being backed by Skydance Productions ("Star Trek," "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol").

Cannes Fest gets Lincoln director to preside jury Steven Spielberg may have lost the Best Director Academy Award last Sunday evening, but he has won the presidency of the jury of this year's upcoming Cannes Film Festival. Following on the footsteps of Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti, who headed last year's jury that awarded Michael Haneke's drama Amour the coveted Palme d'Or, Spielberg will preside the jury at the next Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 15 to 26. (Pictured above: Steven Spielberg looking straight at the camera.) So far, Spielberg has won only one award at the Cannes Fest: as one of the writers (along with Matthew Robbins and Hal Barwood) of the 1974 drama The Sugarland Express, starring Goldie Hawn and William Atherton, and which Spielberg himself directed. Also, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial had its world premiere at Cannes as the closing-night gala film in 1982, while the melodrama The Color Purple »

Affleck's political thriller wins awards from the American Cinema Editors, Writers Guild of America Ben Affleck's Argo, a the story of the rescue of a handful of American hostages held in Iran in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution, continues to win awards this season.

Masters of Sex Books Rose McIvor as Beau Bridges Daughter
11 February 2013 7:20 PM, PST | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Showtime’s period drama, Masters of Sex, is certainly going to be a series that draws the eyes of many viewers hoping to catch glimpses of gratuitous sex scenes, but some of us are more interested in story than the amount of fornication that goes on. The story of William Masters (Martin Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) is an interesting one and deserves to be well done. To do that it requires great actors to sell its material. Thankfully, the likes of Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale have come to the aid of this series and today we’re announcing the addition of Rose McIver to the cast.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, McIver will be playing the daughter of Bridge’s university chancellor, Barton Scully. The role is recurring, but beyond that I can’t say what sort of part she will have in the series. I’m »

Wrapping up all the winners from the 65th annual BAFTA Ee British Academy Film Awards...
Sunday evening marked the biggest occasion in the British film calendar as Hollywood descended upon London's Royal Opera House for BAFTA's 66th annual British Academy Film Awards, which celebrated the very best in cinematic excellence from the past twelve months.
Tom Hooper's acclaimed musical Les Miserables may have won the most awards, taking home Best Supporting Actress (Anne Hathaway), Production Design, Sound and Make Up & Hair, but the night belonged to Argo, the CIA thriller picking up Best Film and Best Editing, while Ben Affleck was also named Best Director, despite failing to pick up as much as a nomination at the Academy Awards.
Elsewhere, Skyfall received Outstanding British Film (and also received the award for Best Original Music), while Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln) and Emmanuelle Riva (Amour) were honoured in the lead acting categories. »
