Ben Foster, Giovanni Ribisi, and Caleb Landry Jones have all joined Contraband, a thriller set up at Universal Pictures starring Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale.
The movie features Wahlberg as a retired smuggler named Chris, who is pulled back into the illegal business for the typical “one last job,” and becomes embroiled in a dangerous mission to avoid customs and rescue his family. Baltasar Kormákur, who starred in and produced the Icelandic original Reykjavik-Rotterdam, is directing the American remake in early 2011 for a release on March 16, 2012.
According to Variety, Jones will play Wahlberg’s brother-in-law, Andy, who botches a drug deal and lands himself in hot water with some shady, unforgiving types. If it sounds like Gone in 60 Seconds with shipments instead of cars, that’s because it is essentially the same plot.

The cast for director Matthew Vaughn's "X-Men: First Class" is already remarkably huge, so what's the harm in throwing one more actor into the mix?
During an interview with IGN, "Twin Peaks" and "24" actor Ray Wise confirmed that he'll appear in the currently shooting "X-Men" prequel. According to Wise, the well-established genre actor will begin shooting his role in "First Class" in just a few short weeks.
"I'm playing the Secretary of State of the United States," said Wise of his character. "I'll be going over [to the film's London set] in the next couple of weeks."
But even though his character is bogged down in politics, Wise expects that he's going to be involved in plenty of scenes with huge special effects and elaborate mutant powers. "Well, I think I touch on them," he confirmed. "Yeah, a bit."

Bryan Singer Says There Is No Appearance of Wolverine in X-Men: First Class
2 November 2010 6:10 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Earlier today, we brought you a rumor that hit the internet about a Facebook status message from a cab driver in Georgia that seemed to indicate that Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine could make an appearance in Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming film, X-Men: First Class.
Cbm initially reported the rumor, based on a status message that read:
“I drove Hugh Jackman from X-Men To the Airport this morning. They are filming on Jekyll…Cool guy!”
Now, speaking with The Coventry Telegraph, Singer has insisted that X-Men: First Class has not even begun shooting on Jekyll Island, and if Jackman was in-fact in Georgia, he didn’t know about it. Singer also took the opportunity to drop some info on First Class.
Singer said,
“{Hugh Jackman) is not in the movie, he’s in the Wolverine movies. X-Men hasn’t started shooting in Georgia yet and if Hugh was in Georgia, it wasn’t for this movie. »

'X-Men: First Class' Actress Jennifer Lawrence Says Mystique Is 'A Good Girl... At First'
27 October 2010 2:16 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Filming for Matthew Vaughn's "X-Men: First Class" is well under way and since Jennifer Lawrence (a.k.a. Raven Darkholme) is the only actor we've had access to recently, we have to rely on her positive words about the production as our main source of information.
When MTV News caught up with the rising star at the Hollywood Awards Gala, she revealed that she received juicy insider info on her character, Mystique, straight from the original source: Rebecca Romijn.
"I got lots of juicy stories and gossip from the old set, that was much better [than advice]," Lawrence said. "I think the first thing I asked her was, 'What should I be for Halloween?' and she looked at me and started laughing. 'Right, I was supposed to ask you something else.'"
"There are no [makeup] tips," she said of the process of becoming the blue-skinned mutant. "You just have to grin and bare it. »

Jennifer Lawrence Talks About Playing Mystique In X-Men: First Class

Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone), who is playing Raven Darkholme / Mystique in Matthew Vaughn‘s upcoming entry into the Marvel movie universe, X-Men: First Class recently took a break from shooting in London and traveled to Los Angeles for the DVD release of her breakout film, Winter’s Bone. While she was there, she spoke with the press about her character in the film.
The actress told Hollywood Elsewhere about her make-up process for the movie, and how much we will actually be seeing her as Mystique in the film:
“Only 10% of her screen time will be as Mystique, she said. It takes X-Men: First Class makeup artists about six hours to transform her into Mystique with the blue skins and the scales, she added. (She has a nickname for the process or the makeup or whatever — “Mystink.”) I asked if official photos have been taken, and she said the »

'X-Men First Class' Actress Jennifer Lawrence Describes Mystique Transformation
25 October 2010 3:01 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Although "X-Men: First Class" features a wealth of mutants that have yet to be seen in previous "X-Men" films, there are still some old favorites standing in the spotlight, including Professor Charles Xavier and his friend-turned-foe Magneto.
There's also a young version of Raven Darkholme, the blue-skinned shape-shifter better known as Mystique — but when "First Class" hits theaters, fans may not immediately recognize the mutant menace.
"Winter's Bone" actress Jennifer Lawrence stars in "First Class" as the young Mystique, succeeding Rebecca Romijn in the role. Lawrence spoke about the part with Hollywood Elsewhere, revealing that she'll only sport Mystique's trademark blue skin for roughly 10% of the film.
The actress added that it takes six hours to transform herself into the physically jarring Mystique, a process that she refers to as "Mystink." Already a top secret component of the film, Lawrence's Mystique makeup will remain under wraps until "just before the film's release, »
