T.I. to hunt Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman in 'Identity Theft'
22 May 2012 10:49 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman should be afraid - very afraid. The duo are set to be hunted down by rapper-turned-actor T.I. in "Identity Theft," a new comedy from "Horrible Bosses" director Seth Gordon. The hip-hop star will play a bounty hunter in the film, which centers on a woman and a man who become unlikely allies after she, yes, steals his identity. The news was broken by Deadline. T.I. has previously appeared in three features: "Atl," "American Gangster" and the hit 2010 action film "Takers" opposite Matt Dillon, Paul Walker and Idris Elba. Are you a fan of T.I.'s previous »

'Fast And Furious' Mash-Up: Every Gear Shift In The Series (Video)
22 May 2012 7:41 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
From the archive of "Ridiculous Super-Cuts" comes something you probably weren't waiting for but definitely needed: a mash-up of every gear shift in all five "Fast and the Furious" movies. Yes, some bored/brilliant fan has boiled down the longtime driving series to the nitty gritty. You know how it goes: there's a chase scene, the other guy's gaining speed, shift, shift, someone lets out a "yeehaw" or a "woohoo," and they drive off into the sunset. (That's basically what happens in every "Fast" movie, right?) The clip is just a little taste to tide you over before "Fast and the Furious 6" -- which reunites Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson as consumate engine-revvers -- begins shooting. (Justin Lin is also set to return as director and "The Immortals'" Luke Evans is poised to play the villain.) You can take a look at the mash-up above (because, you probably »

Dinner for Fiends - The Dinner in the Woods
20 May 2012 8:59 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Dinner is served once again. More like a buffet this time given how much we have on our plates. Over a dozen movies to digest. Email for desert. And somewhere in between we'll learn that Matt Fini has an irrational hatred of pants.
On this edition we'll debate the merits of The Cabin in the Woods and Dark Shadows.
We'll discuss in depth Wrath of the Titans, Mother's Day, The Asylum's Air Collision, Area 407, and - somehow - the awful and thankfully obscure 1995 Denise Richards/Paul Walker sci-fi comedy Tammy & the T-Rex.
Seriously. Tammy & the T-Rex... How do we get on these tangents?
We also briefly touch upon The Hunger Games, The Raven, The Raid: Redemption, The Avengers, Lockout, and more.
Plus, we learn about Matt Fini's aforementioned hatred of pants, Buz's love for wearing bathrobes in public, Steve's pendulum conundrum, and I explain why you're only allowed to enjoy »

Evans is penciled in to play the film’s villain, but details about his dastardly deeds are hard to come by – the script is being guarded like it was written on sheets of golden leaf. What we do know is that the action shifts to...

Gina Carano Confirmed For Fast 6! Oh, And Luke Evans
10 May 2012 5:18 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Gina’s back!!
Sure, the news that Luke Evans is to play the villain in the upcoming Fast And The Furious 6 (who would’ve thought that this franchise would make it so far?) is probably the more newsworthy tidbit of the day, but fuck it, Gina’s back!! Yes, she also has the forthcoming In The Blood as well, but let me have the moment, okay?
If you were silly enough not to see the Steven Soderbergh-helmed Haywire, the former queen of women’s Mixed Martial Arts proved herself a pretty sure hand in that superbly-soundtracked actioner, and my particular crush on her notwithstanding, it’s a shame that not more was made of the arrival of this new female action hero upon our screens. So her voice was raised an octave, big deal. It’s still very much Carano on screen, from the trademark bottom lip-chew (swoon) to »

Fast & Furious 6 has its new villain
9 May 2012 11:48 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Vin Diesel and The Rock will be joined by Luke Evans in the upcoming Fast & Furious 6, it’s been revealed…
Production is set to start soon on the latest Fast & Furious film, which appears to currently be going under the title, er, Fast & Furious 6. Don’t be surprised if that becomes Fast Six, though, by the time it gets closer to release.
The usual suspects are back. Thus, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, The Rock and Michelle Rodriguez are all set to return. And the mighty Jason Statham was offered a role, but apparently declined it.
However, one new face set to sign on the dotted line is Luke Evans. He’s now in negotiations to play the film’s villain, who will be the leader of another crew, that’s attempting to pull off the same heist as Diesel and Walker’s. Best of luck with that.

Luke Evans Now In Talks For Fast Six

Well, things move pretty fast in the universe of Dominic Toretto and company and now Variety reports that he’s in negotiations to play the big bad.While the details are still lacking, the current information points to Dom (Vin Diesel) Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) Mia (Jordana Brewster) and the rest of the high-octane team heading out once more to pull off a daring heist. So far, so standard for the Fast franchise. But this time, it appears they’ll have some competition from another team of thieves, with Evans in command.Plus, they’ll all have to deal with attention from Dwayne Johnson’s dogged lawman Luke Hobbs, who is still in pursuit, bringing along Gina Carano.Jason Statham was originally offered the villain role, »
Luke Evans Set To Play Villain in Fast And Furious 6
9 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's a quick casting update letting you know that Luke Evans will play the villain in Fast and Furious 6. Earlier this month we learned that he was offered the role, and now it looks like he has taken it, as he's in the final stages of negotiations.
The actor joins Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriquez, and possibly Gina Carano in the heist film that is said to be "their most dangerous adventure yet."
Evan's has recently been seen in Immortals, The Raven, and will also be in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. I'm sure Evans will make a great villain in this franchise, and I'm looking forward to seeing Justin Lin's transition from street racing to heists. »

Luke Evans Confirmed to Play Head of Rival Faction in Sixth ‘Fast and Furious’
9 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There’s been plenty of buzz about potential casting in the sixth Fast and Furious film (seriously, the sixth film), which we’re just going to refer to as Fast Six until someone tells us otherwise, but it’s been hard to quantify any of it without knowing the plot that these new characters would fit into. Fortunately, today we’re gifted with some confirmed casting (beyond, of course, the core crew who are all expected to return) and the first bit of real plot information for the film. As had been rumored last week, Luke Evans is in final negotiations to play the bad guy in Fast Six - not necessarily a villain (though that’s what been widely reported), but at least a dude audiences will likely be rooting against. The news comes from Variety, who detail his character by expounding a bit more on the film’s plot – it will “involve the crew heading »
