James Bond is Back in the First ‘Skyfall’ Trailer
21 May 2012 6:13 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
As was promised with the unveiling of last week’s teaser poster for Skyfall, an actual trailer for the third movie featuring Daniel Craig as iconic secret agent 007 (in the 23rd James Bond film) is now online.
It turns out the first official theatrical promo for Skyfall is indeed the same cryptic teaser that screened at CinemaCon last month (at the time of writing this) – and the key words here really are “cryptic” and “teaser.”
The last time Craig graced the big screen as Bond, it was in 2008 with Quantum of Solace. Although that film is not considered the worst in the series, it also left many a longtime 007 fan grumbling; the effects of the writers strike – and director Marc Forster’s inexperience with staging action set pieces – were readily apparent in the final product (something even Craig ...

‘Iron Man 3’ Gets Cold-Blooded With ‘Shame’ & ‘The Grey’ Star James Badge Dale
16 May 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
After a healthy television career on shows like 24, Rubicon and The Pacific, the Hollywood career of James Badge Dale is on a serious upturn. After starring in playing Michael Fassbender‘s boss in Shame and appearing with Liam Neeson in one of The Grey‘s best scenes, the actor has two major blockbusters hitting next summer, with Gore Verbinski‘s The Lone Ranger and Marc Forster’s World War Z. He has now jumped on his third and perhaps biggest.
Variety reports he has joined Shane Black‘s Iron Man 3, the first Marvel film following The Avengers, where Dale will play Lieutenant Colonel Eric Savin, who is then given the task of overseeing Project Ultra. He gets into a landmine accident and becomes the cyborg Coldblood. I’ve always wanted to see Dale get villainous and this is a great platform to do so.
Dale is joined by Robert Downey Jr., »

16 May 2012 6:14 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »

Badge Dale's up next in the Robert Zemeckis-directed and John Gatins (Real Steel, Dreamer, Coach Carter)-scripted Flight from Paramount, »
'The Help' Director Tate Taylor To Helm Big Screen Redo Of Brit Miniseries 'The Jury'
25 April 2012 7:22 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Typically when your most recent film racks up a couple of Oscar nominations and an outstanding box office take, studios have their hands out practically begging you to bring your dream project to their doorsteps. Helmer Tate Taylor hasn’t exactly followed that path after his success with 2011’s “The Help,” even after the multiple awards which included Octavia Spencer’s win at the Oscars for Best Supporting Actress. Taylor has been slow to line up his next directorial effort, passing on longtime friend and actress Melissa McCarthy’s R-rated road trip comedy “Tammy,” with brief word back in August that Taylor was in early talks to direct an adaptation of the 2002 novel "Peace Like A River" for DreamWorks and Warner Brothers.
But another project has come on the horizon with Deadline reporting that Taylor is in talks to write and direct the Fox 2000 project “The Jury.” The film is »

‘The Help’ Director Tate Taylor Eyes ‘The Jury’
24 April 2012 6:05 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
It was more than five months ago when we heard any news pertaining to Tate Taylor (The Help), and that merely revolved around his departure from a project. For someone who helmed a film that was a) nominated for Best Picture and b) earned one of its stars an Oscar, he’s been laying pretty low as of late.
But Deadline have come in, telling us that Taylor is now circling The Jury, a big-screen adaptation of England’s popular 2002 miniseries that starred Mark Strong and Gerard Butler. If he takes inspiration from the original series, this upcoming film will chronicle “the inner workings of the trial of a young Sikh student charged with murdering a classmate tormenter,” as well as “the lives of the jurors and what propelled them as they moved toward a verdict.”

The Help Director Tate Taylor in Talks to Write and Helm The Jury
24 April 2012 5:45 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Director Tate Taylor has been taking his sweet time in choosing a follow-up to last year’s Best Picture nominee The Help, but it sounds like he’s closing in on a new project. Deadline reports that Taylor is in talks to write and direct an adaptation of the 2002 British miniseries The Jury. The story “focuses on the inner workings of the trial of a young Sikh student charged with murdering a classmate tormenter.” The original miniseries starred Gerard Butler and Mark Strong, and spent considerable time examining the lives of the jurors as they moved closer to a verdict. The project was initially developed with Marc Forster directing and Beau Willimon (The Ides of March) writing the screenplay, but that version never came to fruition. Hit the jump for more. Taylor flirted with directing the road trip comedy Tammy, written by Melissa McCarthy as a starring vehicle for the Bridesmaids actress, »

‘The Help’s Tate Taylor In Talks To Write And Direct ‘The Jury’ At Fox 2000
24 April 2012 5:21 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Tate Taylor, who last wrote and directed the Best Picture nominee The Help, is in talks with Fox 2000 to write and direct The Jury. The film is a movie transfer of the Granada-produced 2002 British miniseries that was written by Peter Morgan and directed by Pete Travis. The mini focuses on the inner workings of the trial of a young Sikh student charged with murdering a classmate tormenter. The mini dug into the lives of the jurors and what propelled them as they moved toward a verdict. Gerard Butler and Mark Strong were part of the ensemble. The project was acquired back in 2007 in a seven-figure deal and an attachment of Marc Forster as director and The Ides of March scribe Beau Willimon to write the script. It never got off the ground, but the subject matter certainly resonates in the current climate on a number of levels. Guymon Casady »

Gerard Butler, last seen in director Marc Forster's Machine Gun Preacher and the Shakespeare reboot Coriolanus opposite Ralph Fiennes, stayed busy with Deadline reporting that Butler continued talks to headline the action thriller Manhunt and looked likely to join the movie.

Gerard Butler, last seen in director Marc Forster's Machine Gun Preacher and the Shakespeare reboot Coriolanus opposite Ralph Fiennes, continued to prep for an adaptation of the popular comic Afterburn for Relativity Media. Butler signed on to play a treasure hunter who travels to a planet recently ravaged by solar flares to gather whatever valuables are left for the taking. Brookyn's Finest director Antoine Fuqua was originally set to direct Afterburn but The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola stepped in to replace Fuqua as director. »
Daniel Craig says Javier Bardem is forcing him to 'raise his game' in 'Skyfall'
16 April 2012 9:19 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Can you believe it’s been almost four years since the last James Bond movie hit theaters? Marc Forster's "Quantum of Solace" was released way back in Nov. of 2008, but the delay of Daniel Craig's third installment as 007 had many Bond fans puzzled. Especially after "Quantum" pulled in a sweet $586 million worldwide. The reason for the long break was the unexpected financial issues that plagued distributor MGM beginning in 2010. Eventually, the studio emerged with new ownership last year and production on "Skyfall," the 23rd Bond film, finally began in Nov. of 2011. Last week, the stars »

Exclusive: Mireille Enos Talks World War Z
27 March 2012 5:05 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Last night I hit the red carpet for the Season 2 premiere of The Killing, which debuts on AMC Sunday, April 1. I got to chat with series star Mireille Enos, who also talked about her upcoming zombie movie World War Z.
"I think it's going to be awesome. I had an incredible time shooting it. I haven't seen any of the final cuts, but I know they're working away at it. (Director) Marc Forster is really excited."
We reported earlier this month that World War Z was being pushed from Christmas 2012 to an undetermined Summer 2013 release. I asked her when we might see the first trailer, but, alas, she doesn't know, even if she is just as eager as us to see it.
"No, I'm impatient too. I want to see some!"

DVD Review: Machine Gun Preacher
18 March 2012 3:00 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Gerard Butler, Michael Shannon, Michelle Monaghan, Madeline Carroll | Written by Jason Keller | Directed by Marc Forster
As you are probably and unfortunately aware, Machine Gun Preacher is not the tale of a man of god that takes to the mean streets of La armed to the teeth to deliver some righteous justice and stick it to the man. Along with Hobo with a Shotgun, it’s one of the best exploitation titles you could hope for. In real life, however, Machine Gun Preacher is the true story of Sam Childers, former hell-raising bad-boy, who, after the kind of epiphany only brought on by stabbing a homeless person half to death, turns to Jesus. After seeing the light, Sam begins working in Sudan, caring for the orphans of the war zone.
The DVD release of Machine Gun Preacher is timely, given the recent internet outcry over Kony »
