Prometheus 2 Started Casting, Rik Barnett in Talks for Major Role?
20 May 2013 4:13 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
When Ridley Scott brought on Damon Lindelof to take a look at the script for "Prometheus," the duo completely reworked it to make a story that takes the franchise in a completely different direction. Scott and Lindelof also came up with all the ideas that will be used for a "Prometheus" sequel. Even though 20th Century Fox has greenlit "Prometheus 2," we have yet to hear about any official progress. But now comes word that Scott is already casting and has met numerous times with Rik Barnett for a role that could be connected to Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace). Barnett is an English actor who's mostly unknown. His last role was in the 2010 independent comedy, "Rebels Without a Clue," which barely got a release. Since Scott is taking time to meet with him, it's safe to say that his "Prometheus 2" role will be a major one. Even though several sources have apparently confirmed this, »

So any of you guys remember all of those rumors of Prometheus 2 beign stuck in development hell? At first we heard that Prometheus 2 was struggling to find a story, which was quickly debunked by Prometheus co-scribe Damon Lindelof, when he personally put the rumor to rest. Apparently the Facebook page Prometheus posted an article which says that Ridley Scott has met plenty of times with English actor Rik Barnett. According to the source[Who claims that he is from the sequel's production] the actor will play a character who could be connected to Noomi Rapace's character (Elizabeth Shaw). Now this news is to be taken with a grain of salt since no confirmation has been given by 20thCenturyFox. Now the question is who is Rik Barnett!? Well, He is an English actor who won »

Magnolia Manager Vs UTA, Round Two
17 May 2013 2:50 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Previous: Magnolia Client Rachel McAdams Fires UTA Update: Magnolia Entertainment manager Shelley Browning’s inexplicable and one-sided battle against UTA co-owner Tracey Jacobs rages on. Last month, Browning was behind Rachel McAdams firing UTA after a seven-year stint with Jacobs. Now two Swedish actors who are both Magnolia clients follow McAdams out the door for no reason: Joel Kinnaman and Noomi Rapace. Since becoming Browning’s client, Rapace has bounced between Hollywood agencies: first UTA, then Wme, then back to UTA, and now out of UTA. Among the only Magnolia clients left at UTA is Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) who is directing Kinnaman and Rapace with Tom Hardy in Child 44. »

Cannes Review: Death Lingers & Lifts In Thoughtful 'Miele'
17 May 2013 2:39 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
If Michael Haneke's "Amour" presented death as a sobering inevitability, one that will test the bounds of our ability to love, actress Valeria Golino has a slightly more nuanced perspective in her directorial debut "Miele." While the subject of euthanasia is the entryway into the story, Golino wisely strays from turning her film into an Issues Movie, and instead opts to explore death both as a vessel for closure and a window into appreciating the life we have. The Noomi Rapace-esque Jasmine Trinca (all cropped hair, switchblade scowl and tomboy figure) leads the film as Irene, aka the titular Miele (meaning honey), her code name when she's on the job as an assisted suicide practitioner. But since it's illegal in Italy, it requires almost Lisbeth Salander-ish levels of covert maneuvers. She travels to Mexico once a month and smuggles back veterinary grade barbiturates which she uses as part of her procedures, »

Central Europe Jumps Onto Incentives Bandwagon
14 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
In the 10 years since Hungary introduced its production incentives, it has emerged as the leading country in Central and Eastern Europe in the race to pursue Hollywood blockbusters and upscale TV series.
Boosted by the 20% tax rebate, the local biz has been further strengthened by the opening of production facilities, such as Korda Studios, Stern Film Studio and Media Center, and Raleigh Studios.
For Hollywood producer Andy Vajna, who is also the Hungarian film commissioner, it is not just a question of price. “There’s always a cheaper place, no matter what you do,” he says. “So what we have to strive for is to be competitive on price, but unmatchable in quality.” Productions in Hungary this year include Brett Ratner’s feature “Hercules” for MGM-Paramount, and two TV series — NBCU’s “Dracula” and the pilot of HBO’s Cold War thriller “The Missionary,” in which Hungary doubles for East Berlin in the 1960s. »

Happy birthday to Lena Dunham and Samantha Morton!
The New York Times wrote a great article about the brilliance of Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes. The piece, "Network TV Is Broken. So How Does Shonda Rhimes Keep Making Hits?", starts out with this stellar quote from Rhimes (to the Scandal writing staff), “I love that the gay White House chief of staff is threatening to pretend the first lady is a closeted lesbian, it is so wrong. In the best way.”
