Casting Couch: Jennifer Lopez to Lend a Hand in ‘The 33,’ Ray Winstone to Teach Sean Penn in ‘The Gunman,’ and More
17 June 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Casting Couch? It’s a safe place where you can read all the casting news you want without being afraid that anyone is going to judge you. Today we are happy to inform you that Hollywood has given new jobs to TV funnymen Donald Faison and Ryan Hansen. From judging reality shows on TV to recently co-starring with Jason Statham in Parker, it seems like Jennifer Lopez is slowly dipping her toes back into the world of celebrity. Probably it’s only a matter of time before we even have to start listening to “J-Lo” music on the radio again. Before you shudder at that notion though, let’s just focus on the movie world. THR is reporting that she’s just taken another role, this one in the dramatic retelling of the Chilean mining collapse of 2010, The 33. We already know that Antonio Banderas is starring in this one, and »

Gary Oldman to direct a biopic of Eadweard Muybridge
17 June 2013 6:27 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Gary Oldman's (The Dark Knight Rises) directorial debut was the powerful drama Nil by Mouth in 1997, starring Ray Winstone (The Sweeney) and Kathy Burke (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy). Now there are reports that for his follow-up he is planning to direct a biopic of the film pioneer Eadweard Muybridge titled Flying Horse.
Muybridge developed technological advances in photography and motion-capturing imagery. The film will focus on the love affair between his wife Flora and the theatre critic Harry Larkyns, who was killed by Muybridge.
Oldman has written the script and is eyeing Ralph Fiennes (Skyfall) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek Into Darkness) to play Muybridge and Larkyns. He might also appear himself, as the district attorney who prosecuted Muybridge.
Flying Horse is scheduled to begin production early next year and will be produced by Oldman's manager Douglas Urbanski. Oldman can next be seen in the upcoming thriller Paranoia with Liam Hemsworth and Harrison Ford. »

Gary Oldman Returns To The Director’s Chair For ‘Flying Horse’
16 June 2013 11:31 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Nil By Mouth is one of the greatest films ever made, so it seems a shame that acting legend Gary Oldman hasn’t directed since. But that looks set to change thanks to Flying Horse, a biopic focusing on the life of Eadweard Muybridge, a photographer known for his pioneering work in motion-picture projection. Obviously quite the inspiration for anyone in film, but I’d hazard a guess that Oldman will focus more on the darker side of his life, which included murder. Suspecting his son may have been fathered by his wife’s friend, he shot the man (Major Harry Larkyns) dead after saying “Good evening, Major, my name is Muybridge and here’s the answer to the letter you sent my wife.” Muybridge’s insanity plea may have been dismissed, but the jury saw fit to acquit him on the grounds of justifiable homicide. Good times.

Louise Redknapp: 'I'm not trying to be a supermodel'

Louise Redknapp discusses ageing and why she named a nail polish after her father-in-law
Harry Redknapp is a man of many incarnations: footballer, manager and a man perennially touted for the England job in the past. But it seems safe to say that he has never before been a nail varnish.
And yet, thanks to his daughter-in-law, Louise Redknapp, he is now immortalised as "Harry" – a dusky-lilac lacquer in her new make-up range. The idea, Louise says, was to identify each product as a friend or family member to make them easier to remember. Her husband, Jamie, a former professional footballer turned Sky Sports pundit, is a mushroomy gold varnish. The couple's sons, Charlie, nine, and Beau, four, are both eyeshadow duo pencils.
"I don't think Harry knew before I did it," she admits when we meet in her office in Chelsea, south-west London. "He doesn't get that involved in my make-up products. »

Gary Oldman to Direct Benedict Cumberbatch & Ralph Fiennes in ‘Flying Horse’?
15 June 2013 12:59 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
For decades, Gary Oldman has demonstrated his knack for drastically changing his appearance and mannerisms to suit the character he’s playing in any given film. From drug-dealing pimp Drexl Spivey in True Romance to Count Dracula himself in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel, Oldman has been widely acclaimed for his chameleon-like transformations.
Now, Oldman is looking to add another radically different role to his accomplished career: director. Currently, the actor’s only directorial feature credit is the 1997 British release Nil by Mouth, which starred Ray Winstone as an abusive husband. This time, however, it looks like Oldman has his sights set on a more ambitious project.
According to The Wrap, ...

Ray Winstone Will Mentor Sean Penn In The Gunman
14 June 2013 8:53 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Sean Penn. Javier Bardem. Idris Elba. For any normal production that would be more than enough star-power, but apparently it's not quite enough for Pierre Morel's The Gunman, as today the project has added yet another top-notch performer to the gang. Deadline is reporting that The Departed and Beowulf star Ray Winstone has been added to the cast of the action film, as has Italian actress Jasmine Trinca. Based on the novel "Prone Gunman" by Jean-Patrick Manchette, the story centers on an international operative (Penn) who is turned on by his handlers and forced to go on the run through various locales in Europe. The site says that Winstone will be playing Penn's mentor at the organization that betrays the lead character, which is strange casting when you consider that the former is only three years older than the latter. There aren't any details about the character that Trinca »

14 June 2013 6:07 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Although DreamWorks is no longer involved with the project, director Thomas McCarthy (Win Win) is hoping Matt Damon will show interest in his untitled picture about the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal. Based on the Boston Globe's Pulitzer Prize-winning articles chronicling reports of sex abuse within the Church, the project is said to be in the vein of All the President's Men, and would star Damon as lead reporter Mike Rezendes. Damon has yet to see a script but the filmmakers have had the Boston-native in mind for the role during its two years of script development. Hit the jump for more on this controversial picture and for the latest casting news on Pierre Morel's The Gunman.

Gary Oldman Looks To Cast Ralph Fiennes And Benedict Cumberbatch In Flying Horse
14 June 2013 3:57 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Two time BAFTA winner Gary Oldman hopes to add Ralph Fiennes and Benedict Cumberbatch to his second directorial effort, Flying Horse. Oldman has collaborated with both actors in the past as he co-starred with Cumberbatch in the intriguing but overly complex drama Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (for which Oldman was a Best Actor nominee at the Oscars) and with Fiennes in the Harry Potter series.
Flying Horse, which was written by Oldman, is a biopic of photographer Eadweard James Muybridge. While Muybridge’s accomplishments and contributions to film would provide plenty of material alone, the movie will center primarily on the relentless media gossip surrounding his personal life.
In addition to making great strides in his photography work, Muybridge was accused of murdering a theater critic, Harry Larkyns, who he suspected was having an affair with his wife. Fiennes would take the role of Muybridge opposite Cumberbatch as the deceitful critic Larkyns. »

Ray Winstone Has Sean Penn’s Back In ‘The Gunman’
14 June 2013 2:48 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Looks like the sides have been chosen for the shoot-out film The Gunman, which Taken helmer Pierre Morel will direct for Silver Pictures and Studio Canal. Ray Winstone has just joined the film. He’ll play the mentor of the hitman played by Sean Penn, who is betrayed and then hunted by the organization he worked for. On the opposite side of this twosome are Javier Bardem and Idris Elba, and they run all over Europe in a fatal game of cat and mouse. Jasmine Trinca (Miele) is the female lead. Winstone’s tough guy cred includes The Departed, Sexy Beast, 44 Inch Chest and the upcoming Darren Aronofsky-directed Noah, where he goes mano a mano against Russell Crowe in that Biblical epic. I hope this movie is as good as it sounds here, because I’d follow these four actors anywhere. The Gunman is based on the Jean-Patrick Manchette novel Prone Gunman, »
