Marvel’s Next Avengers Film #5: Black Panther

23 May 2012 11:05 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

With a sequel to The Avengers officially confirmed by Marvel/Disney, comic book fans the world over will be contemplating which of the publisher’s other heroes could be added to the line-up, potentially getting their own solo movie as soon as 2014 – filling the popularly acknowledged gap in the schedule alongside Captain America 2 that summer.

Of course, we have to bear in mind that Marvel Studios do not own the film rights to characters as key to their comic book universe as Daredevil, Spider-Man, Wolverine or the Fantastic Four – all of whom have allied with or become members of the Avengers at one time or another – but with that consideration in place, here is another suggestion for Marvel’s Next Avengers Film:

Black Panther (King T’Challa of Wakanda)

Why?: Apart from the obvious fact that T’Challa is a long-standing ally of the Avengers and mainstream »

British Talent Juno Temple Signs on as Pixie in Revamped Fairy Tale Maleficent

18 May 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »

It seems that fairy tales with new twists on classic formulas are the 'in' thing these days. The Robert Stromberg helmed 'Maleficent' falls into that camp by retelling the 'Sleeping Beauty' tale from the perspective of the princess' evil nemesis, Maleficent. Angelina Jolie ('Tomb Raider') will play the title role in the live action feature that'll kick off shooting at Pinewood here in the UK this Summer. A new British cast member and undeniable talent has been tagged on to the current cast list in the form of the adorable Juno Temple (below). The hot star of 'St. Trinian's, 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Dark Knight Rises', to mention a few, will join Imelda Staunton ('The Awakening') and Lesley Manville to play a pixie named Thistletwit. Elle Fanning, India Eisley, Miranda Richardson, Sharlto Copley ('District 9'), Sam Riley and Kenneth Cranham also star. »

Juno Temple Getting Wings for Disney's 'Maleficent'

17 May 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

With each casting announcement, Disney's "Maleficent" becomes a little more intriguing.

Juno Temple ("The Three Musketeers," "Atonement") is the latest to join the fold, according to The Hollywood Reporter, for the cast of this live-action re-telling of the "Sleeping Beauty" story.

Temple joins the likes of Angelina Jolie (who'll play the titular Maleficent, the witch who cursed Aurora into becoming Sleeping Beauty and whose perspective the film will draw from), India Eisley (a younger version of Jolie's Maleficent), Elle Fanning (the Aurora character), Sam Riley, Sharlto Copley, Lesley Manville, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson and Kenneth Cranham for the picture.

Temple will reportedly portray Thistletwit, one of the three lackadaisical fairies who are charged with protecting Aurora (we all know how that works out) alongside Manville as Flittle and Staunton as Knotgrass.

Production on the picture is expected to begin this summer in London, England, and it will be directed by »

Daniel Radcliffe Might Voice Guillermo Del Toro's 'Pinocchio,' While Juno Temple Joins 'Maleficent'

17 May 2012 2:21 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Right now, it's still unclear if the fairy tale movie is really going to end up being a potent force. While "Once Upon A Time" and "Grimm" have found fans on the small screen, in the cinema, "Alice in Wonderland" aside (and that's a film that's only really a fairy tale by the loosest definition of the word), none of the live-action reboots of classic folklore material, from "Red Riding Hood" to "Mirror Mirror," have gotten much traction with audiences. That could (and we suspect will) change in a couple of weeks when "Snow White And The Huntsman" opens, but the uncertainty hasn't stopped studios moving forward with a myriad of fairy tale projects: everything from "Beauty & The Beast" to "Cinderella" is in various stages of development.

And two projects that are close to happening look like they might have found some young British talent to add to their casts: Firstly, »

Juno Temple Added To Maleficent

17 May 2012 2:20 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

It seems only days since we last checked in on the rapidly growing cast for Disney’s new take on the Sleeping Beauty tale Maleficent, and that’s because it is. Back then, Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville were announced as playing two of the pixies who watch over the slumbering Aurora (Elle Fanning) as she drools into her pillow. Now we have a third magical creature to help out, with Juno Temple signed to play Thistletwit.Angelina Jolie has long since been on to play the titular character, the spurned witch who puts a curse on baby Aurora that sends her into her long sleep. The three pixies will do a slightly shoddy job of protecting her in a cottage deep within the woods.Maleficent’s cast now includes Sharlto Copley, Miranda Richardson and Sam Riley in what promises to be a vastly expanded tale of the human world »

Juno Temple Is The Third Pixie In Angelina Jolie's Maleficent

17 May 2012 2:13 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

We got a big burst of casting news not long ago about Maleficent, the Angelina Jolie-led project in which she plays the titular wicked queen who terrorizes Sleeping Beauty. We learned that Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville had signed on to play the pixies who care for Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) in a cottage in the woods, but if you've seen the classic Disney Sleeping Beauty, you know there are three fairies involved. Enter Juno Temple, who THR reports has signed on as the third pixie-- she's Thistletwit, while Maville and Staunton play Knotgrass and Flittle. Shooting is set to begin this summer, with Sharlto Copley also on board to play Stefan, the half-human and half-fairy son of the human king, who will be played by Kenneth Cranham. The rest of the cast includes Brighton Rock's Sam Riley and Miranda Richardson, perhaps best known as Rita Skeeter from »

Juno Temple Joins Maleficent Starring Angelina Jolie

Juno Temple has joined the cast of the Sleeping Beauty re-imagining, Maleficent.  The movie is from the point-of-view of the eponymous evil sorceress (Angelina Jolie), who cursed Aurora (Elle Fanning) to a permanent sleep on her 16th birthday.  According to THR, Temple will play Temple will play the pixie Thistletwit who, like the other two pixies, Knotgrass (Imelda Staunton) and Flittle (Leslie Manville), is neglectful and superficial.  The cast also includes Sharlto Copley, Miranda Richardson, Kenneth Cranham, Sam Riley, and India Eisley. I feel like I've missed a movie where Juno Temple was great and led her to be in plenty of other movies.  I've seen her in Year One, Killer Joe, Greenberg, Cracks, and Small Apartments, and I've found her forgettable every time.  If someone could please direct me to her breakthrough film, I would greatly appreciate it.  There's plenty more Temple on the way as the actress co-stars in The Dark Knight Rises, »

Rick Baker To Design Angelina Jolie's Witchy Look For Disney's 'Maleficent'

10 May 2012 8:44 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

While doing the press rounds for this month’s sci-fi sequel “Men in Black III,” certifiable genius make-up designer Rick Baker let slip that he’s already hard at work on Disney’s eagerly anticipated “Maleficent,” a take on the studio's classic animated “Sleeping Beauty” as told through the iconic sorceress’ point of view. That sorceress, of course, is being played by Angelina Jolie. “They’re just starting that now,” Baker told ComingSoon.net. “I designed the make-up for Angelina Jolie. At this point, I’m actually finished with that part of it.”

“That part of it,” we’re assuming, is the sorceress’ unforgettable look – draped in blacks, purples and aquamarines, Maleficent is known for her headdress, which features two predominant, devilish horns. Previously, Jolie had told Entertainment Weekly that, while they were still figuring out her exact look, “The horns are the horns – you can’t deny them. You have to have the horns. »
