Casting News: Harrison Ford Confirmed for Ender's Game; Four Join Lovelace Biopic
22 December 2011 11:24 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Earlier this month, Harrison Ford was targeted for the adaptation of Ender's Game, based on the 1985 novel by Orson Scott Card. Coming from the sci-fi/Western mash-up of Cowboys and Aliens, it would seem that Ford would want to stay away from yet another sci-fi movie, as the actor's resume likes to switch genres from project to project. But with Ford being cast in the Jackie Robinson biopic 42, Ender's Game seemed like a good possibility, and finally it's official.
THR reports that Ford has signed on to play Colonel Hyrum Graff, Commander of Training for the International Fleet. In Ender's Game, humanity has been decimated by an insect-like alien race, with the government enlisting gifted children into battle school to train them to aid in the fight against the invaders. Bullied Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield, Hugo) masters a zero-gravity, laser-tag game and Graff sees his potential for saving humanity. Abigail Breslin »

Side-by-side by Lovelace: Stacking up two forthcoming biopics about the 'Deep Throat' star
7 December 2011 3:04 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Like Alexander the Great, Steve Prefontaine, and Snow White before her, the late Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace suddenly has several producers prepping biopics simultaneously. The reluctant porn icon made her way into pop culture history with 1972′s Deep Throat, which was used as an informant code name during that year’s Watergate scandal and resurfaced with the Dennis Hopper-narrated documentary Inside Deep Throat, released in 2005 three years after Lovelace’s untimely death.
Today, EW confirmed that Juno Temple (left) and Wes Bentley have been added to the cast of Lovelace, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s biopic, which »

Casting Bits: Sharon Stone in ‘Lovelace;’ Jacki Weaver and Alan Arkin in ‘Wild Oats;’ Ezra Miller Not in ‘Akira’
17 November 2011 4:30 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Sharon Stone was a big deal in the '90s thanks to Basic Instinct in 1992, but she's got a lower profile lately. She's been working very steadily, but it doesn't feel that way. I can't remember the last time I saw a memorable Stone performance. Probably either Broken Flowers ('05) or Alpha Dog ('06). Law & Order: Svu fans would probably point to her recurring role on that show. I don't know if anyone would point to Basic Instinct 2 ('06) even though the image above makes her appearance in that one look like a different version of the X-Men's Emma Frost. She might get more attention playing the mother of a porn star. Stone is now set to play the mother of Linda Lovelace (possibly played by Amanda Seyfried) in Lovelace. That's one of two Linda Lovelace films in development right now, and the one that will be directed by »

Sharon Stone has joined the cast of Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's biopic "Lovelace" at Nu Image reports Yahoo News.
W. Merritt Johnson and Andy Bellin adapted Eric Danville's biography about Linda Boreman's rise to fame as iconic porn star Linda Lovelace of 1972's "Deep Throat," and her subsequent transformation into feminist, anti-porn activist Linda Marchiano.
The film is told through the perspective of three interviewers at various stages of her life. Amanda Seyfried has already been cast as Linda while Stone will play her mother.
There was some confusion as of yesterday as originally it was reported Stone was cast in Matthew Wilder's rival project "Inferno" based on the autobiography "Ordeal" which Lovelace wrote with Mike McGrady. »

- Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard are now in talks to star as porn star Linda Lovelace and her pornographer husband, Chuck Traynor, in Lovelace, an adaptation of Eric Danville’s book The Complete Linda Lovelace, from Howl directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.

Olivia Wilde was the latest actress to be linked to the role before Seyfried. James Franco and Kate Hudson were at one point attached to the project. There's another Lovelace picture in the works (the one Lindsay Lohan was once attached to), »
