Epic Review
1 hour ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Rivalling DreamWorks and Pixar animation studios is certainly no easy task, but Blue Sky Studios are triumphantly getting along with things, consistently making on a profit on their reasonable back catalogue. Boasting the likes of Rio and the popular Ice Age franchise, they now return with Chris Wedge’s Epic, an adventure in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids mould. However, though this may certainly be a more advanced, contemporary take on the the 1989 family adventure, it’s lacking in that same ingenuity.
When teenager Mary Katherine (Amanda Seyfried) loses her mother to illness, she is forced to go and live with her estranged and somewhat unconventional father (Jason Sudeikis), who is completely transfixed with the idea that a community of miniature people live in the forest. Though sceptical, when Mk is magically transported into a tiny person, deep into the forest, she becomes embroiled in a war between good and evil. »

Chris Pine, Amanda Seyfried & Chiwetel Ejiofor in 'Z for Zachariah'
17 May 2013 8:36 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Right now audiences can see Chris Pine back in space for Star Trek Into Darkness, and his action thriller Jack Ryan arrives this Christmas, but his next project will be a little more low key. Variety has word that Pine is set to star in an indie called Z for Zachariah, which will also feature Amanda Seyfried and Chiwetel Ejiofor. What makes this project truly interesting is Craig Zobel is directing the film after making a splash at Sundance last year with his film Compliance. Based on Robert O'Brien's book of the same name, the setting finds a girl isolated in the wake of a nuclear war that took everyone in her life away. But one day, in a deep valley that somehow still has breathable air, two strangers emerge from the forest, but she might have been better off being alone. The script comes from new writer Nissar Modi »

16 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Casting Couch? It’s the news column that’s got its ear to the ground, listening for any juicy tidbits coming out of Cannes. Today people like Uma Thurman, Seann William Scott, Amanda Seyfried, and Bruce Willis all got new jobs. Zach Braff hasn’t yet had much of a career as a film director, but if there’s one thing he’s got more experience shooting than most people, it’s tiny girls wearing giant headphones. So chances are Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick will be a perfect fit for the cast of his new movie, Wish I Was Here. The Wrap is reporting that she’s just joined the film in the role of Janine, a chick who’s into cosplay and who the Josh Gad character becomes enamored with. However you feel about the controversy surrounding Braff’s Kickstarter funding of this film, you have to admit, added »

Amanda Seyfried, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Chris Pine have joined the cast of Z for Zachariah.
Based on Robert C O'Brien's 1974 novel, the science fiction thriller follows a young woman who believes she is the sole survivor of a nuclear war, only to discover a scientist who has also survived.
Seyfried will play the lead character, Ann, with Ejiofor in the role of scientist Loomis, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Pine is reportedly playing a third survivor, whose appearance "complicates matters" between Ann and Loomis, although no such character exists in O'Brien's novel.
Craig Zobel, whose true-crime drama Compliance sparked controversy upon its debut in Sundance last year, is on board to direct the adaptation.
It was announced last year that Tobey Maguire would play the role of Loomis, and it is not clear at what stage he was replaced by Ejiofor.
