Rachel McAdams Joins Phillip Seymour Hoffman in The Most Wanted Man

23 May 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Rachel McAdams has be cast along side Phillip Symour Hoffman in a film adaptation of the novel The Most Wanted Man.

Anton Corbijn is directing the film from a script written by Andrew Bovell. The story "takes place in present-day Hamburg, Germany, where a mysterious, near-dead half-Chechen, half-Russian man on the run arrives in the city's Islamic community desperate for help and looking to recover his late Russian father's ill-gotten fortune."

Hoffman is set to play the chief of a "covert German spy unit who works to solve the mystery of the man's identity." McAdams will take on the role of a "woman who becomes involved in the international intrigue."

McAdams is a talented and beautiful actress, and I think her and Hoffman will end up making a solid international thriller.

Rachel McAdams Joins Philip Seymour Hoffman in A Most Wanted Man Adaptation

22 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Back when I was reading up a storm, I never got into John le Carre, one of the biggest names in the spy novel game. I was always more partial to Robert Ludlum of “The Bourne Identity” fame, for no other reason except it was one of the very first novels I ever picked up, and I don’t know, I like reading people whose work I’ve liked in the past. And I’ll be damn if Ludlum had a ton of books, so it wasn’t like I was ever at the risk of running out of reading material. So, John le Carre. One of these days I’ll pick up one of his books and realize I should have read it sooner. Until that day, though, I’ll just have to make do with movie versions of his books, the latest of which is “A Most Wanted Man »

The 10 Hottest Moments of Ryan Gosling

22 May 2012 7:13 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

A new book about Ryan Gosling is coming out, and it's unfortunately not a picture-heavy sexual tell-all: It's the novelization of the Tumblr "Feminist Ryan Gosling," where authors caption Gosling's candid photos with quips about feminist ideals. Should be a pretty cute coffee table purchase. I want to know what sexy-posed Ryan thinks of Betty Friedan, personally.

We thought we'd celebrate the occasion with a look back at Mr. Gosling's ten hottest moments. It's a tall order, but also a buff one, thank God. Now, to you readers: Should I have included moments from Half Nelson or The Ides of March or The New '92 Mickey Mouse Club Croons the Hits of Marc Cohn. Hit me with the blowback and enjoy my ten selections below.

10. The slick and stripped-down perks of the upcoming movie Gangster Squad

Movie News After Dark: Brian De Palma Keeps It Naughty and Bustin’ Makes Steve Jobs Feel Good

21 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

What is Movie News After Dark? It’s a nightly column that has been returned to the hands of its rightful owner, for now. But before we get to my triumphant return after a week of vegging out and eating BBQ, lets give a round of applause to Nathan Adams, Luke Mullen, Kate Erbland, Kevin Carr and Robert Fure, who did a wonderful job last week during guest week. I don’t know about you, but I lizzed a few times while reading their work. Lets hope that I can bring the same verve to this week’s return. We begin, of course, with naughty bits… Several new images from Brian De Palma’s Passion this past week, courtesy of the Cannes Film Festival. That includes the above image, depicting a very devious, scantily clad Rachel McAdams burning a hole in my heart of hearts. It’s the eyes that do it. And »

21 May 2012 6:50 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

British author John le Carre is no stranger to adaptations of his work. Last year's movie based on his 1974 novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy garnered rave reviews upon its release, and now another of le Carre's books is getting the big screen treatment. THR reports Rachel McAdams has joined Philip Seymour Hoffman in the cast of A Most Wanted Man, the adaptation of le Carre's 2008 novel about a mysterious man who comes to Germany searching for a Russian fortune. Hoffman plays a German spy out to find this man's true identity, and McAdams will be a civil rights lawyer who is caught in international espionage. Andrew Bovell (Edge of Darkness) adapted the screenplay for The American director Anton Corbijn, and if the movie is anything like the book, it will be doused with references to the War on Terror and all sorts of condemnations about America's methods regarding »

Rachel McAdams Joining Philip Seymour Hoffman In A Most Wanted Man

21 May 2012 6:12 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Rachel McAdams seemed to have been hitting a lull in her career in the last few years, sputtering out with the actually delightful workplace comedy Morning Glory, not to mention a string of flops before that-- The Time Traveler's Wife and State of Play, plus the virtually unseen indies The Lucky Ones and Married LIfe. But last spring's Midnight in Paris was the start of a new winning streak that culminated with this year's The Vow, a romantic drama that has actually outgrossed her monster hit The Notebook from 2004. Sure, she hasn't turned The Vow into a mega-year quite the way her co-star Channing Tatum has, but she's doing pretty well, and she looks to be continuing her hot streak with A Most Wanted Man, the John le Carre novel adaptation that already has Philip Seymour Hoffman set to star.

Rachel McAdams Gets Serious with 'A Most Wanted Man'

21 May 2012 8:58 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Rachel McAdams is one cool lady, but her career is particularly white hot right now. She's just added another awesome project to her to-do list, the dramatic thriller "A Most Wanted Man." It promises to be a seriously cool spy drama, with Phillip Seymour Hoffman costarring and famed photographed and director Anton Corbijn behind the camera.

"A Most Wanted Man" is based on the novel by bestselling author John le Carre, whose other juicy novels have been turned into movies like "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and "The Constant Gardener." According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hoffman will be playing the top dog among German spies who's trying to ferret out the true identity of a man on the run who shows up in Hamburg. While McAdams' role isn't quite as clear yet, she's definitely wrapped up in the mystery.

"A Most Serious Man" will begin filming on location this fall, after McAdams makes "About Time, »

Rachel McAdams Joins A Most Wanted Man

21 May 2012 12:37 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Rachel McAdams has boarded director Anton Corbijn's A Most Wanted Man. Philip Seymour Hoffman is also attached to star.

The film is an adaptation of a John le Carr&#233 novel, which is set in present-day Hamburg, Germany. The story centers on a mysterious man who is near death, and looking to retrieve his late father's fortune. Philip Seymour Hoffman is playing a German spy chief who tries to determine the mystery man's identity. Rachel McAdams will portray a woman who gets caught up in the ordeal.

Anton Corbijn is directing with Gail Egan and Andrea Calderwood producing. Production is scheduled to start this September in Hamburg. We reported earlier this month that the actress also joined About Time. That project starts shooting next month, so the actress will likely jump right from About Time to A Most Wanted Man.

A Most Wanted Man comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Rachel McAdams, »

McAdams Finds A Most Wanted Man

20 May 2012 5:02 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Following the casting of Philip Seymour Hoffman in February, Anton Corbijn's adaptation of John Le Carre's A Most Wanted Man now has its second lead, in the shapely form of Rachel McAdams.The story follows Issa, a refugee lately escaped from a Turkish prison and on the run from the Swedish authorities, who claims to be Chechen, but, rather mysteriously, doesn't speak the language. Arriving in Hamburg, he reveals he has the means to access a very private bank account containing a legacy of dubious origin. It's not long before British, German and American intelligence agencies are paying close attention.Hoffman is aboard the film as German spook Gunther Bachmann, and McAdams is being described as "a woman who becomes involved in the international intrigue." We'd guess that that makes her Annabel Richter, employed as Issa's lawyer, but that's not confirmed at this stage.Edge Of Darkness co-writer Andrew Bovell wrote the screenplay, »

Peter Weir Returns With Adaptation Of Jennifer Egan's Contemporary Gothic Thriller 'The Keep'

20 May 2012 8:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

With his last effort, the ambitious road film "The Way Back," largely coming and going, we were dreading another long absence from veteran helmer Peter Weir. After all, he's only made two films in the last decade, with a seven-year gap between his 2010 effort and "Master And Commander" back in 2003. Thankfully, though, it looks like the wait won't be as long this time around, as a new project has been lined up by the Australian director.

Weir has signed up to adapt "A Visit From The Goon Squad" author Jennifer Egan's best-selling contemporary gothic thriller "The Keep," which previously had CBS Films teaming with 'Dragon Tattoo' helmer Niels Arden Oplev. That iteration of the project, which was scripted by Ehren Kruger, had been described as "'The Ring' meets 'Inception'" but with Weir tackling the screenplay himself, we imagine he's starting from scratch with a very different take in mind. »

Rachel McAdams Joins Phillip Seymour Hoffman In Anton Corbijn’s ‘Most Wanted Man’

20 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

While Passion just wrapped things a few weeks back or so, Rachel McAdams isn’t quite done with suspense, intrigue, Germany, and films based on pre-existing materials. THR says she’ll next do a project that, though similar, is possibly even more exciting than the return of Brian De Palma — and, believe you me, that’s saying a thing or two.

The film at hand is Anton Corbijn‘s third feature, A Most Wanted Man, which also happens to be the next silver screen take on John le Carré. Phillip Seymour Hoffman signed for the leading role back in February; such a part will see him play “chief of a covert German spy unit” trying to crack the mystery behind Issa, a half-Chechen/half-Russian man who, under serious injuries, arrives in Hamburg’s Islamic sector dodging authorities and trying to recover his deceased, Russian father’s fortune.
