We’ve known for quite some time now that Denzel Washington would lead the big-screen remake of cult 1980s series The Equalizer. A few months ago Antoine Fuqua was finally confirmed to reunite with his Training Day Oscar-winner and named the director after both Nicolas Winding Refn and Rupert Wyatt’s failed to agree terms in negotiations. Less than a week ago we learned Chloe Grace Moretz would portray the teen hooker needing the desperate help of Washington’s retired operative Robert McCall, previously played by the late, great Edward Woodward.
Well, we now know the sadistic villain of the piece will be a member of the Russian mafia, with New Zealander Marton Csokas taking on the role. The actor is best known for his roles in The Lord Of The Rings, The Bourne Supremacy and The Debt. He was most recently seen in the under-loved yet enjoyable Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter »

Check out today's casting news: Andy Garcia (The Untouchables) and Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street) have joined Luke Greenfield's action-comedy Let's Be Cops. Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy) will star opposite Denzel Washington in Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer, also starring Chloe Grace Moretz. Jonny Weston (Chasing Mavericks) and Sofia Black-d'Elia (Skins) are in negotiations to join Michael Bay's found-footage film, Almanac. Hit the jump for more on each casting announcement. First up from THR and The Wrap comes casting news for Let's Be Cops. Damon Wayans Jr and Jake Johnson, who both starred in the New Girl pilot, lead the comedy as "two friends who impersonate police officers using rented uniforms, giving their lives a boost and some fun. However, they run into trouble when they cross a dangerous Russian mobster." Garcia will play a veteran detective who lands the unenviable distinction of becoming boss of the two wannabes. »

Universal Pictures has released the trailer for “Riddick,” starring Vin Diesel.
The latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000′s hit sci-fi film “Pitch Black” and 2004′s “The Chronicles of Riddick” reunites writer/director David Twohy (“A Perfect Getaway,” “The Fugitive”) and star Vin Diesel (the “Fast and Furious” franchise, “XXX”). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

This week Amazon is offering The Bourne Trilogy -- The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum -- on Blu-ray for a deeply discounted price of $25.00, just click here to pick up your own copy. I'm sure Universal is prepping some sort of Bourne franchise collection to include the recently released Jeremy Renner-led The Bourne Legacy, but if you ask me that's hardly a title worth owning and this collection, which I actually own, doesn't lose any value by not having it. Again, this is Amazon's Deal of the Week and you can buy your own copy by clicking here. »

Columbia Pictures has released the first trailer for Captain Phillips, director Paul Greengrass' (The Bourne Supremacy, Green Zone) adaptation of Richard Phillips' A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea by Richard Phillips, which tells the true story of the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the Us-flagged Mv Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.
Adapted for the screen by Billy Ray (State of Play, The Hunger Games), Captain Phillips stars two-time Oscar-winner Tom Hanks (Philadelphia, Forrest Gump) in the lead role, with a supporting cast that includes Catherine Keener (Capote, A Late Quartet), Max Martini (The Unit, Pacific Rim), Yul Vazquez (American Gangster, The A-Team) and Chris Mulkey (Cloverfield, Boardwalk Empire). Check out the first trailer here...

Tom Hanks is a man in uniform for the titular role of real-life survivor Captain Richard Phillips who was held hostage for three days in 2009 during the Maersk Alabama hijacking where his ship was besieged by Somali pirates and we've got the Exclusive first trailer of Captain Phillips.
Along for the tense ride is Catherine Keener as his wife Andrea Phillips and at the helm, Paul Greengrass whose previous efforts, high-paced actioners The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Supremacy, United 93, hint at a style and skill set that's well-suited to tell this tale of survival during the first American cargo ship hijacking in 200 years.
And we know what happened the last time Hanks had a role that brought him to the high seas - an Oscar nomination for Cast Away in 2000 - and from the footage here it seems that Captain Phillips should be a powerful biopic with plenty of heart. »

Paul Greengrass has proven himself time and again to be a very good director when it comes to taut action-thrillers. Between The Bourne Supremacy, United 93 and the underrated (in my opinion) Green Zone, Greengrass definitely has a recognizable style. Now he’s taken to the high seas for the true story of a cargo ship attacked by Somali pirates in Captain Phillips.
The story is a truly exciting one, even without fictional embellishment. Captain Phillips is a dramatization of the Maersk Alabama hijacking that had Somali pirates trying to take over a massive cargo ship. Tom Hanks plays the titular captain who tried to fight off the pirates, then gave himself up in return for the safety of his crew. The whole standoff, which brought in the Navy SEALs and played something like an old-school pirate drama, is really tailor-made for a big actioner. Which, based on the new trailer for Captain Phillips, »

Paul Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, and United 93, has another exciting epic on the horizon. Captain Phillips, based on the true story of Richard Phillips, sees Tom Hanks in the eponymous role as a man that allows himself to be taken hostage by Somali pirates, in return for his crew’s safety. The trailer certainly highlights the action present in the film, and it also seems as though Greengrass has tuned down his shaky-cam preferences. If United 93 is anything to go by, then we know just how powerful and traumatic Greengrass can make these true life action films.
Captain Phillips is released 11th October. It stars Tom Hanks and Catherine Keener.

Sony has released the first trailer for Captain Phillips from director Paul Greengrass and starring Tom Hanks as the title character. The film is based on the true story of Captain Richard Phillips, the leader of the cargo ship Maersk Alabama who gave himself up as a hostage to Somali pirates to keep his crew from having to leave the ship with them. Billy Ray (Breach) wrote the screenplay adapted from the book "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy Seals, and Dangerous Days at Sea" by Richard Phillips and Stephen Tatty and along with Hanks, the film co-stars Catherine Keener, John Magaro, Max Martini, David Warshofsky, Chris Mulkey, Corey Johnson and Yul Vazquez. This is the first film from Greengrass since Green Zone in 2010 and, of course, before that he gave us The Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum along with United 93. Captain Phillips is set for an October 11 release »

Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #13...
Watchmen, 2009.
Directed by Zack Snyder.
Starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino and Patrick Wilson.
For a long while, it looked as if we'd never get to watch the Watchmen. Writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons' sprawling superhero opus was first optioned back in 1986, and passed through the hands of several studios, screenwriters and directors over the next two decades, including Sam Hamm (Batman), Terry Gilliam (Brazil), Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler), Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy) and David Hayter (X-Men).
Eventually the task of adapting what is arguably the greatest comic book story of all-time fell to Zack Snyder, who was fresh off another hit comic book movie in 300. Snyder chose to adopt the »

This week we published Bonnie Radcliffe’s excellent article about the costume design clues in No Country for Old Men (2007), including a breakdown of psychotic hit man Anton Chigurh’s (Javier Bardem) sparse but never black attire among a sea of check shirts and cowboy hats. Chigurh stands out as much as he needs to (note the snakeskin boots) but really he dresses to fit in. Like all the best villains he is not aware he is the bad guy; to Chigurh he is just doing a job.
So in honour of Chigurh’s distinctive western jacket and polyester trousers, we have a round up of some of the best villain related costume posts at Clothes on Film. Don’t judge a book by its cover, but if you do meet a man in pinstripe resort wear with a boater, perhaps avoid staying for dinner.

‘We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.’
– Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
I recently watched The Bourne Legacy on a lengthy international flight. Usually I have an aversion to watching something that might require a functioning attention span on an aeroplane. At any moment one’s concentration might be at war with screaming children, real estate feuds for control of the armrest, the Chaplin-esque slapstick of juggling a tray of food through turbulence, or that gnawing, omnipresent fear of ever having to venture into those poorly ventilated bathrooms after about three hours in the air. This time, however, there was a nice analogous quality to the experience.

Warning: You could be framed for something you didn't do at any given moment. Maybe even by your own government, whether intentionally or due to a misunderstanding. Will you know what to do if this happens? If not, Hollywood might be able to help, as “wrong man” scenarios have been around about as long as movies have existed, and a lot of them have involved conspiracies within government agencies. In “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” an enemy of the Joes', Zartan, has secretly taken over the White House disguised as the President of the United States. As Potus, he labels the Joes traitors and unleashes a military strike that wipes out almost the entire team. The survivors must then go up against Cobra while being at the top of America's Most Wanted list. Fortunately, Joes are trained for survival, and in this case knowing is even more than half the battle. So, »
