Joel Edgerton joins Johnny Depp in crime drama 'Black Mass'
16 May 2013 2:44 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Joel Edgerton has joined the cast of Black Mass.
Barry Levinson's crime drama will star Johnny Depp as notorious Boston gangster Whitey Bulger.
Deadline reports that The Great Gatsby star Edgerton will play FBI agent John Connolly, a childhood friend of Bulger who is tasked with bringing him down but instead assists him.
Levinson produced 1997 mob drama Donnie Brasco, which starred Depp as an undercover FBI agent opposite Al Pacino's gangster.
Filming on Black Mass is due to begin in early summer, once Depp has finished filming Wally Pfister's Transcendence.

Joel Edgerton In Demand: Actor Joins Johnny Depp In 'Black Mass' & Michelle Williams In 'The Double Hour'
15 May 2013 5:11 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Has Aussie actor Joel Edgerton become Hollywood's new it-man? He turned heads with a jerk in 2010's crime thriller, "Animal Kingdom" (we immediately took notice) and gained further acclaim for his toe to toe role with Tom Hardy in the underloved Mma drama "Warrior." Directors of note also took notice. Kathryn Bigelow cast him for a small but important role in "Zero Dark Thirty," and he arguably stole the show from Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and the rest of the cast in Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby." So what's next for an encore? Two plum roles in two major projects everyone's keeping a close eye on. First up, he joins Johnny Depp in a movie about notorious Boston gangster Whitey Bulger called "Black Mass." It's a project that will reunite him with "Donnie Brasco" producer Barry Levinson, who will take the director's chair here, and it's one of three »

Fast & Furious: looking back at the whole saga
1 May 2013 8:12 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Ryan Lambie 2 May 2013 - 06:57
With Fast & Furious 6 on the horizon, we revisit the entire series from beginning to end, and dig out our favourite moments...
It's strange to think that it's well over a decade since the Fast franchise began. But like a juggernaut rolling down a hill, this ageing series shows no sign of slowing down; in fact, this year's Fast & Furious 6 will be joined by yet another sequel, Fast Seven, due out in cinemas next year.
But given that the Fast movies now have such a long history, with various stars fading in and out of them as the past decade has rolled on, perhaps it's a good time to look back at how the series has evolved, and work out how its events will lead up to Fast & Furious 6...
The Fast And The Furious (2001)
The first Fast movie is something of a Frankenstein’s monster of a movie. »

Don One: Who Makes The Cut For Thn’s Gangster Squad?
21 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To complement the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of Ruben Fleischer’s all-star period crime-thriller, Gangster Squad, Thn have picked our own top team of organised crime figures from the world of cinema; both fictional and factual. The genre is well defined thanks to early Cagney classics, Coppola’s legendary Corleone trilogy and Scorcese’s blood-soaked biopics. We’ve assembled quite an eclectic collection of memorable members, from low-level hoods, to fierce footsoldiers, unpredictable capo’s and of course, one don to rule them all!
One quick rule before we begin: a film or actor can feature no more than twice.
So, let’s take a look and see who sleeps with the fishes and who’s king of the hill in our dream team!
Luca Brasi (The Godfather) 1971
Make him an offer he can’t refuse and this hulking, simple-minded, yet faithful hatchet man will follow orders, even if it costs him his life. »

A Feast For The Eyes: Famous Film Eateries
16 April 2013 10:19 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Locations in films are rarely the thing an average filmgoer remembers after watching a film; it’s always about the story, character and the lines they say that later form the proverbial ‘word of mouth.’ However, when you think of great confrontations, conversations and simple exchanges, they always take place in a nice public setting – although being surrounded by a group of unknowing people rarely dulls the impact of a tense interaction.
An epiphany came after some light people-watching during a mediocre pancake breakfast – they seem to take place in a restaurant, diner or some kind of eatery; a place where some of TV and film’s classic characters can settle an old score of even debate on pop culture over a cup of coffee:
Café des 2 Moulins, Paris (Amélie, 2001)
This quaint coffee shop, where young dreamer Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) worked and interacted with a variety of characters, is based in Montmatre, »

Review: ‘New World’ A Familiar, But Satisfying & Well-Executed ‘The Departed’-Esque Thriller
20 March 2013 5:23 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
On the page, the set up for Park Hoon Jeong’s “New World” is almost a cliché, the story pivoting around a cop caught in deep cover in the midst of a crime syndicate, looking for a way to the end assignment, only for forces on both sides of the law to squeeze him to a breaking point. In Hollywood, both “Donnie Brasco” and “The Departed” popularized the concept in the recent years, with the latter a remake of “Infernal Affairs,” which itself spawned a trilogy. So the question for “New World” is: does it bring anything new to the equation? Nope. Does it do this formula well? Yep.An opening “Law & Order”-esque cautionary title card warns, “the events, characters and institutions portrayed in the film are entirely fictitious,” immediately establishing a ripped-from-headlines tone for picture, and just like the famed network procedural, by the end of the first »

Showtime's 'The Vatican' finds a Pope
15 March 2013 12:48 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
After a week that saw the appointment of Pope Francis, Showtime’s The Vatican has appointed a new Pope of its own.
Bruno Ganz (Downfall) has been cast in the drama pilot as Pope Sixtus, described as “an unassuming and introspective caretaker of the Church, who struggles with his own legacy, and how history will judge his papacy.”
Ganz joins a cast that already includes Fnl alum Kyle Chandler, who will star as Cardinal Thomas Duffy, and Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies), who plays his sister.
As previously reported, the pilot will also mark the first television project from Ridley Scott, »

What A Wonderful Surprise
15 March 2013 10:24 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Off the top of your head, can you think of a cooler trio than Johnny Depp, Al Pacino and Keith Richards?
We didn't think so.
Apparently the three are very fond of one another, as revealed at the HBO premiere of David Mamet's movie "Phil Spector" this week. According to the New York Post, Pacino (who plays the titular role in "Spector") met up with Richards for the first time and the two icons had a friendly exchange.
"We have a mutual friend," Richards was overheard telling Pacino. "Johnny Depp!" Pacino replied, "I love Johnny!"
And somewhere in the world, an angel got a high five.
Pacino and Depp were co-stars in the 1997 movie "Donnie Brasco" and Richards wrote and performed the song "Only Found Out Yesterday" on Depp's blockbuster hit "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" in 2007.
Also, Depp's next talked-about project, the thriller "Black Mass," will »

Producer Mark Johnson discusses Bless Me, Ultima, debuting in theaters February 22
Producer Mark Johnson has been successful in all avenues of the entertainment business, making movies such as the Oscar-winning Rain Man, Bugsy, Donnie Brasco, What Lies Beneath, The Rookie, The Chronicles of Narnia series, and last year's Not Fade Away, just to name a few. He is also one of the producers of the hit AMC series Breaking Bad, which wraps up its fifth and final season this summer. His latest project is much smaller in scope, but features just as powerful a story as any of those other big-budget movies.

Oscar Winner Circling 'Spawn' Reboot, Rock 'Lobo' No Go and 'Toy Story 4' in 2015?

1.) More than one source out of Colombia is reporting Pixar has made Toy Story 4 official and has set a 2015 release date, also promising the rather obvious returns of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack. I've no idea why Colombia would receive the news before the rest of the world, but I'm sure we'll hear more soon enough if Pixar is making some sort of press event there this week. Then again, with Pete Docter's Inside Out targeting 2015 and Finding Nemo 2 expected for 2016 this is all likely very premature. Terra, Jorge Luis Balaguera, via Bleeding Cool 2.) Kyle Chandler (Zero Dark Thirty, "Friday Night Lights"), Matthew Goode (Watchmen, Stoker) and Sebastian Koch (The Lives of Others, A Good Day to Die Hard) will lead the cast of Showtime's Ridley Scott-directed pilot for "The Vatican."

Matthew Goode Joins Kyle Chandler In Ridley Scott's The Vatican
19 February 2013 5:00 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Hollywood is nothing if not a town that loves "coincidental" timing, so it should be no surprise that U.S. premium cable channel Showtimes has announced the casting for its prospective new series The Vatican in the wake of Pope Benedict's recent decision to step aside from his papal responsibilities. What is surprising is that Ridley Scott will be directing the pilot episode. As far as I can tell from his resume at IMDb, it will be his first work in series television since the late 1960s. He's one of the producers of the series, created by Paul Attanasio, who wrote Donnie Brasco and The Good German, and was a key creative force in the creation of the groundbreaking 90s show Homicide: Life on the Street,...

Casting Couch: Johnny Depp Is Getting Gangster Again, Captain America Gets a Girlfriend Again, and More
4 February 2013 4:00 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Casting Couch? It’s a thing on the Internet that’s primarily concerned with which actors are going to be in what movies. Today it includes news regarding attractive folk like Colin Farrell and Lily Collins. For the last decade or so, Johnny Depp has largely been occupied with wearing makeup and putting on silly wigs, but once upon a time he used to play actual human beings in movies like Donnie Brasco and whatnot, and while it didn’t afford him the opportunity to use nearly as many crazy voices, things weren’t so bad. Things were so decent, in fact, that Cross Creek Pictures has announced [via ComingSoon] that they’ve cast Depp in another gangster story that’s based on real life events, just for old times’ sake. Depp will be playing infamous Boston gangster Whitey Bulger in director Barry Levinson’s (Toys, Jimmy Hollywood) new film Black Mass. Bulger »

Johnny Depp to Play Mobster Whitey Bulger in Black Mass
4 February 2013 11:50 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Johnny Depp has signed on to play Boston mob's Whitey Bulger in the Barry Levinson-directed film Black Mass. I really like it when Depp signs on for a non Disney film, and this movie sounds like it will make for a great crime thriller. Depp and Levinson have already worked together on a previous Mob film called Donnie Brasco, which was a great flick!
This is going to be a great movie! It's based on the 2001 Dick Lehr/Gerald O’Neill New York Times bestseller Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob. Bulger was a ruthless Boston mob kingpin who inspired movie characters such as the one Jack Nicholson played in The Departed and the one Pete Postlethwaite played in the The Town. Bulger was also an FBI informant, so he could discreetly take down a rival gang. The tables were turned on him. »

Johnny Depp Joins The Mob (Again) As Whitey Bulger In Black Mass
4 February 2013 8:01 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Sigh. Oh, Johnny. You’ve been very trying of late. First a less than stellar turn in Dark Shadows, next a questionable role in The Lone Ranger. And you were once the most interesting actor in Hollywood too. Well, maybe breaking away from Burton and Gore Verbinski for a little while will bring Mr. Depp back into the ‘hey, he’s actually a good actor’ fold as today, we have word that Depp has been attached to the Whitey Bulger biopic Black Mass.
Johnny Depp will be taking on the role of the notorious Bulger himself in the film. Bulger was a South Boston criminal who inspired the Jack Nicholson character in The Departed. The film is based on the book of the same name by Boston Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerald O’Neill. It follows the life of Bulger, the brother of a state senator, who turned FBI »
