Plus First-Look Photos Of Evan Rachel Wood In 'A Case Of You,' & Jennifer Connelly In 'Writers'
Hope you rested your eyeballs over Memorial Day weekend, because a whole batch of new images have arrived to give you a peek at what's hitting the big and small screen in the next little while.
The first image of Kevin Spacey in the David Fincher-produced and -directed Netflix series “House Of Cards” has arrived. The still shows Spacey and Robin Wright as the ruthless and ambitious couple at the heart of the series. Spacey says that the show, based on a revered 1990 BBC drama, “is about a wily, murderous politician worming his way to the White House” and warns that "it ain't your Daddy's 'West Wing.' " The series doesn’t hit Netflix until sometime next year, but with a supporting cast that includes Kristin Connolly, Kate Mara and Corey Stoll, »

Chloe Moretz‘s titular casting in Carrie has earned a polarized reaction or two (can there only be one polarized reaction?) these past couple of months, but it’s hard to deny they’re getting these adult roles down pat. A few weeks after Julianne Moore found herself playing Carrie’s dangerous, God-fearing mother, BloodyDisgusting reports that Judy Greer (The Descendants) is in formal talks for a part — one only deemed with the title of “Gym Teacher.”
While I really, truly hope her character is only named and referred to as “Gym Teacher” in the actual film, both Stephen King‘s source novel and Brian De Palma‘s original adaptation fill this stock part with one of the few (if not the only) adults who show Carrie any sympathy. It’s one of the bigger dramatic roles — particularly when you talk about a film whose fidelity to actual drama I »

We haven’t reported much yet on The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, which is a shame, because it’s a promising sounding project. So, seeing as there’s a new bit of casting news regarding the film, let’s use that as an excuse to cover all the basics, shall we? The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman started off as a Black List script by a screenwriter named Matt Drake (Project X) that was eventually picked up by Voltage Pictures and given to Fredrik Bond to direct. A studio synopsis for the film explains it by saying, “Charlie Countryman was just a normal guy…until he fell in love with the one girl who will probably get him killed. When Charlie meets the absolutely irresistible Gabi she’s already been claimed by Nigel, an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal. Armed with little more than his wit and naïve charm »

Catherine Hardwicke's new erotic thriller 'Plush' appears to have been going through some changes recently. Variety have revealed a new synopsis for the movie which seems to completely switched about what we understood the concept of the project was originally going to be. Hardwicke ('Red Riding Hood', 'Twilight') co-penned the script with Artie Nelson and initially when we reported on the flick it was set to be a psychological and sexually tense thriller but has now turned in to something completely different. Evan Rachel Wood ('Thirteen') was set to star and even a teaser poster had been revealed but it's 'Sucker Punch' star Emily Browning (below) who is now being circled for a role in the new-look setup. According to the exclusive report from Variety the flick was looking for buyers at Cannes and now the story 'follows a psychic psychologist »

When one checks into the McKittrick Hotel, home of the full-immersion dance-theater phantasm Sleep No More, one expects the unexpected. Still, one does not expect to be pulled into a small room with Neil Patrick Harris, dressed as a hotel porter, tearfully exploring the “androgynous side of himself.” (Somehow, James Franco seems more likely.) The quintuple-threat How I Met Your Mother star and once-and-future Tony host was “so envious” when he heard Alan Cumming had done Sleep (as have Evan Rachel Wood and Dita Von Teese), he asked for a walk-on. And he’s going to do it again soon — though he won’t say exactly when. “If there’s ever any production of theirs they want me to be a part of, I am, by default, their lackey.”How’d a celebrity quintuple-threat TV star and Tony host end up guest-starring in a highfalutin haunted house?A friend had »

When we got the news a few months ago that Evan Rachel Wood had agreed to re-team with writer-director Catherine Hardwicke on Plush, it was a fairly welcome announcement for those acquainted with Hardwicke‘s fierce, determined — if largely one-note — Wood-starring debut, Thirteen. In combination with the cryptically titillating logline — an “erotic thriller set in the L.A. music world” — there was little reason to speculate that Hardwicke was still stuck in the mud of her snoozy Twilight and Red Riding Hood days.
A new exclusive from Variety, however, mixes things up quite a bit — both for better and for worse. The revelation of Emily Browning‘s circling of the project is, to my mind, the better half of that token. The striking Australian up-and-comer had to dodge a lot of criticism for her work in Zack Snyder‘s disastrous Sucker Punch, even though the film’s failings were no fault of her own. »

We're sure Catherine Hardwicke and Evan Rachel Wood are still pals, but sometimes scheduling or a variety of other reasons keep two people from working together. Earlier this year it looked like the "Thirteen" star and director were going to reunite on "Plush," but alas, things don't seem to have worked out. But another capable star is looking to come off the bench and sub in.
Emily Browning is now looking to star in "Plush," a thriller set in Los Angeles. Co-written with Artie Nelson, the story will follow a psychic psychologist who sees the memories of his patients to help expel their past demons. But he meets his match when he crosses paths with Browning, who has the same power. O......kay. This was previously said to be an "erotic thriller" set in the music industry but unless the characters' psychic skills require everyone to be naked and singing, »

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) is reteaming with his Potter-castmate Alan Rickman (Prof. Severus Snape) in Cbgb about New York City's legendary night club. Grint will play Cheetah Chrome of the punk band The Dead Boys, who played a crucial role in the night club's rise into the 1980s. Rickman will play Cbgb owner Hilly Kristal and the film will reflect the impact the club had on the underground music scene. Here's the bad part: if the movie is true to its punk roots at all, it's Definitely getting an R rating.
Grint is joining Shia Labeouf, Evan Rachel Wood and Mads Mikkelson in The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, which, unfortunately, is probably also headed for an R rating.

Mia Wasikowska has signed on to star in John Curran’s (“The Painted Veil”) new indie “Tracks.” The film will tell the true story of a young woman named Robyn Davidson who traveled 1678 miles through the Australian desert in 1987. It’s an Australian production and will be based on Davidson’s memoirs of the same name, and has already secured distribution down under and in the U.K. (through Momentum Pictures). [Variety]
Hilary Swank will star alongside Brenda Blethyn in the HBO TV movie “Mary and Martha.” The names attached behind the camera are pretty impressive too, with “Salt” director Phillip Noyce set to helm the Richard Curtis (“Love Actually”) penned script. The story will follow two women who emerge from traumatic family tragedy to form a unique bond while fighting for the eradication of malaria. Sounds like pretty heavy stuff, but yet again HBO seems to have lined up the talent to match. »

In Countryman, Labeouf plays a guy who falls for a woman who's with a violent crime boss. Pic also includes Evan Rachel Wood, Til Schweiger, Mads Mikkelsen, Melissa Leo and James Buckley.

Though Ron Weasley will always be the defining role of his career, Rupert Grint isn’t short on post-Harry Potter employment. The young Brit has lined up a pair of pretty intriguing projects; first up comes confirmation that he’s climbed aboard Fredrik Bond’s action-comedy-romance The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman. While the details of his role are unknown at this point, the film stars Shia Labeouf as a hapless fellow that falls in love with a woman (Evan Rachel Wood) who’s lorded over by an unhinged mob boss (Mads Mikkelsen). Oscar winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter) and Til Schweiger (Inglourious Basterds) are set to play Labeouf’s deceased (but still communicative) mother and a Serbian war criminal respectively. All told, it’s a pretty fantastic assemblage of on-screen talent. More than anything, I’m looking forward to Mads “Le Chiffre” Mikkelsen busting out his “insanely violent” side »

Rupert Grint, who.ll always be Ron Weasley to us, is doing everything in his power to distance himself from the landmark role that made him a global superstar. Good luck with that. In his continuing effort to expand his acting career, Grint has grabbed two vastly different roles in what sound like mature, potentially raucous features. We.ll see how they play out. According to Variety, Grint has landed a part opposite Shia Labeouf in The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, a thriller about an average Joe (Labeouf) who falls head over heels in love with a girl who.s already the interest of a ruthless crime boss. So long as Grint isn.t being asked to play the mobster heavy, we whole-heartedly support this position . especially because it reportedly casts Evan Rachel Wood, presumably as the woman catching Labeouf.s eye. Variety says Fredrik Bond is down to »

Now that he's exited the "Transformers" franchise, Shia Labeouf is trying to carve out a new reputation as a respectable, adult lead. He's had hits outside the toy-based series with films like "Disturbia," but the actor's clearly after a little more respect, and he's been making some smart choices of late, with John Hillcoat's "Lawless," which premieres this weekend at Cannes, and Robert Redford's "The Company You Keep" among his upcoming projects.
And the film he's shooting at the moment seems to be another pitch at more grown-up fare: "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman." The actor's been attached to the project, which is being directed by commercials veteran Frederik Bond, for some time, although he departed for a little while in favor of Zac Efron. The dark crime picture finally got going this year with a Berlin shoot now under way, and backers Voltage Pictures have debuted »

Veteran actress Mia Farrow, comedienne Ellen DeGeneres, country singer Chely Wright and supermodel Tyra Banks have praised U.S. President Barack Obama after he publicly voiced his support for same sex marriage.
The world leader had steered clear of openly stating his stance on the sensitive topic ahead of the November general election, but he responded to growing pressure on Wednesday and announced his endorsement of same-sex unions in a taped TV interview for ABC News.
Obama, who previously believed marriage should be between a man and a woman, told newscaster Robin Roberts: "I've been going through an evolution on this issue. I've always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. At a certain point, I just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think that same sex couples should be able to get married."
The big announcement was warmly received by a slew of celebrities and they took to Twitter.com to celebrate the news.
Farrow writes, "Yay!!!! President Obama comes out in support of gay marriage !!!!", while lesbian singer Wright tweeted, "The President has just stated publicly that he believes 'same sex marriage should be legal'. I am proud. Thank you @BarackObama".
Actress Eliza Dushku posts, "Breaking: President Obama announces support for All/equal marriage!! FreedomToMarry" and Billy Elliott star Jamie Bell writes, "Good for you Mr. Obama. Good for you."
Married lesbian funnywoman Ellen DeGeneres tweets, "Thank you President @BarackObama for your beautiful and brave words. I'm overwhelmed", and Banks adds, "A fierce day for my gays and my prez @BarackObama - way 2 stand up 4 luv for All (sic)!"
Bisexual actress Evan Rachel Wood and gay stars Neil Patrick Harris and Sean Hayes were also among the first few celebrities to applaud the groundbreaking news on Wednesday.
Obama's endorsement comes just one day after residents in North Carolina passed a bill banning same-sex unions in the state, declaring marriage between a man and a woman the only valid domestic legal union. »

Amendment One in North Carolina has passed. In what may be one of the more tasteless ways to celebrate passage by the right, backers planned to serve wedding cake at their party.
Meanwhile, in the House of Representatives, two anti-gay amendments for the National Defense Authorization Act have been prepared with a who's-who of anti gay groups, including the Alliance Defense Fund, the National Organization for Marriage and the Family Research Council. One would give huge latitude to military chaplains to preach hate from the pulpit on government bases, and the other would assert Doma more strongly as it relates to military affairs.
Kansas Republican Rep. Huelskamp is planning an amendment to the Justice Department authorization bill that would bar the Justice Department from using any funds to oppose the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, as it has been doing in cases around the country.
