[1] Malin Akerman has signed on to star with Tyler Labine, Lucy Punch, and Daniel Petronijevic in Cottage Country, an dark indie comedy by Canadian director Peter Wellington. Written by Jeremy Boxen (Endgame), the story follows Todd (Labine) as he plans to propose to Cammie (Akerman) at his family cottage. However, Todd's plans are ruined by the arrival of his slacker brother (Petronijevic) and the brother's free-spirited girlfriend (Punch). The film will be Wellington's first feature since 2003's Luck. Wellington has been working primarily in television over the last several years, on shows including Rookie Blue and Slings and Arrows. The film is currently shooting in Ontario through late October for a 2012 release. [The Hollywood Reporter [2]] After the jump, Pacific Rim gets another star and John Hurt joins a project called Labyrinth that is totally unrelated to Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Bet you got worried there for a second that it would be a remake.

It's easy to see how a happily married woman could be tempted by Luke Kirby. The charming Canadian ex-pat delivers one of the most buzzworthy performances of the season in 'Take This Waltz,' the latest flick by indie darling Sarah Polley. This isn't Kirby's first time working with Polley; the two starred together in 2003's 'Luck,' where Polley portrayed the object of Kirby's affections. In 'Take This Waltz,' which debuts at the Toronto Film Festival this Saturday, Kirby plays Daniel, the muscle-y rickshaw driver who gets Margot (Michelle Williams) all hot 'n bothered in spite of her solid marriage to a lovable chicken cookbook author (Seth Rogen). Margot tries to push hunky Daniel out of her thoughts, but it isn't easy with him living a stone's throw away.

HBO really isn’t playing any games with those other cable networks. Following the recent announcement that David Fincher is developing a show (Mind Hunter) for the company, and the well-received teaser trailer for Martin Scorcese’s Boardwalk Empire, HBO has snagged another highly credible director to groom a pilot: Jonathan Demme, whose last film, Rachel Getting Married, was a knockout, is no working on a Home Box Office pilot called The Long Fall, based on author Walter Mosley’s series of detective novels.
The main, recurring character within the book series is an ex-boxer turned private investigator. As Deadline Hollywood reports, The Long Fall will be overseen by Tom Hanks’s production company, Playtone, which already has the much-loved HBO series Big Love, as well as March’s 10-part World War II miniseries The Pacific, under its proverbial belt. The same Deadline story also refreshes memories about Luck, a...

- I guess you couldn't ask for anything more than a quality cast and the backing from competent producers if you are in the shoes of Canadian-born filmmaker Ruba Nadda. Screen Daily reports that Patricia Clarkson (Elegy) has boarded the project with co-stars Alexander Siddig (Un homme perdu), Elena Anaya (Savage Grace) and Tom McCamus set for filming. Cairo Time sees Clarkson play a woman (really?) who arrives in Cairo to meet her husband (McCamus) only to be told he is unavoidably delayed in Gaza and has in turn sent his friend (Siddig), a retired Egyptian police officer, to pick her up. The brief love affair that follows catches them both completely off guard. Executive produced by indie vets Christina Vachon and Charles Pugliese of Killer Films, and produced by Ireland's David Collins of Samson Films (Once) and the personable Daniel Iron of Foundry Films (Away From Her, Manufactured Landscapes
