Jessica Chastain To Star In ‘The Zookeeper’s Wife’
1 May 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Put the gun down, take that rope from around your neck, step back from that ledge. This is not, I repeat Not, a sequel to the Kevin James movie. Phew! Almost lost a few of you there. Jessica Chastain is to star in an adaptation of The Zookeeper’S Wife, a book by Diane Ackerman. When Nazis invade Warsaw, Jan and Antonina Zabinski begin protecting animals and Jews with the use of their zoo. Chastain will take on the role of Antonina, and production outfit Panorama are hoping to sell the idea at Cannes. Niki Caro, known for her work on Whale Rider and North Country, will direct the project. A true story featuring the endurance of the human spirit And animals? This sounds like it could be a real emotional crowd pleaser.

Jessica Chastain Is 'The Zookeeper's Wife'
1 May 2013 6:44 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Jessica Chastain’s rise in the film industry has been nothing short of meteoric. Just think, exactly two years ago, hardly anyone knew about her. Then Cannes 2011 comes around, and she’s in two films: “Take Shelter” and “The Tree of Life.” And in short order, Chastain had arrived. Now with two Oscar nominations in two consecutive years, she looks to continue her hot streak. THR reports that Jessica Chastain is attached to star in “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” an adaptation of the Diane Ackerman novel. The novel tells the true story Jan Zabinski, a keeper of the Warsaw Zoo, and his wife Antonina, who saved the lives of 300 Jews who had been imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto following the Nazi invasion of Poland. The Zabinskis had kept Jews in empty cages and even kept about a dozen Jews inside their home. New Zealand director Niki Caro (“Whale Rider”, “North Country”) will direct. »

Jessica Chastain Becomes The Zookeeper’s Wife For Director Niki Caro
1 May 2013 2:20 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Director Niki Caro has made a refreshing habit out of casting women in starring roles for films which offer Hollywood’s finest the chance to sink their teeth into something meaty. Whale Rider made a star of Keisha Castle-Hughes. Silkwood-lite North Country bagged its star Charlize Theron a second Oscar nomination. Who next?
Looks like Caro is remaining steadfast to female visibility in Hollywood, as her next film The Zookeeper’s Wife now has the almighty Jessica Chastain attached to star. Adapted from Diane Ackerman’s novel by screenwriter Angela Workman, The Zookeeper’s Wife is the true account of the brave efforts of the Warsaw Zoo zookeepers during the Nazi invasion of World War II.
Jan and Antonina Zabinski set about rescuing hundreds of Jews during the invasion by hiding them in animal cages and several in their home. Antonina Zabinski kept a number of animals alive as well, »

ITV’s Lightfields Review: Episode 1
5 March 2013 12:47 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
It had come as quite a surprise to me to learn that the 2011, supposedly one-off, ITV drama, Marchlands, was getting a ‘follow-up’ series this year, called Lightfields. I confess,the name put me off a bit to begin with. Initially it sounded as if they had just lazily inverted ‘Marchlands’ to make a new name that that some connotation of the old one (Why not Octoberfields?). Nevertheless, I thought, at least I’ll have something to watch on a Wednesday night. At least for a few weeks anyway, because, no doubt, they’ll only be about 6 episodes. See my thoughts on that here. Regardless, it was a nice surprise because I did enjoyed the first series, and it is very seldom that these sort of British dramas get any sort of continuation. So, I am now rather looking forward to this ‘second series’, of sorts, even if it is two years since the first one. »

The Best Broadcast Pilot Orders of the 2013-2014 Season: NBC and CBS

It’s pilot season, which means your favorite out-of-work TV actors, actresses, creators and writers are getting a chance to return to the small screen once more.
Although we have yet to know what new series we’ll see next year, the networks have been busy selecting projects to consider for their schedules. So far, almost 100 scripts have been chosen, and audiences will only get to see a handful actually come to fruition.
Several are duds, but there are a few promising prospects that I hope network executives will keep around for the 2013-2014 season — even if it means they have to cancel old favorites to make room (just keep Parks and Recreation, Ok, NBC?).
Check out my choices for the best prospective pilots NBC and CBS have ordered, and come back tomorrow to see my picks for ABC and Fox:

Josh Holloway is heading to CBS with some of his fellow "Lost" alumni.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Holloway -- best known as Sawyer on the ABC island drama -- will star in "Intelligence" as Gabriel Black, a former Navy Seal.
The drama pilot from "North Country's" Michael Seizman centers on U.S. Cyber Command, "a unit that has been created around one agent with a very special gift: a microchip that has been implanted in his brain that allows him to access the entire electromagnetic spectrum," THR reports.
Two of Holloway's former "Lost" co-stars currently appear on CBS programs: Michael Emerson (Ben Linus) stars on "Person of Interest" and Daniel Dae Kim (Jin-Soo Kwon) is a regular on "Hawaii Five-o." Fingers crossed for a reunion!

9 Most Versatile Actors In Modern Day Cinema
9 February 2013 1:08 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
After having seen Anthony Hopkins earn a number of rave reviews (and some very bad ones) for his portrayal of Alfred Hitchcock in (the aptly named) ‘Hitchcock’, I got to thinking about the range of roles he has played over the years. This, in turn, made me think about all those Hollywood actors and actresses who have shown huge versatility when it comes to the characters they have played on the big screen.
Many great actors continue to be typecast in similar roles, despite their fantastic ability. For example, Jack Nicholson will always play characters who are a bit crazy (Jack Torrance in The Shining, The Joker in Batman, Dr. Buddy Rydel in Anger Management and Randle McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) and Morgan Freeman will always play the trustworthy wise man (God in Bruce/Evan Almighty, Lucius Fox in Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, Detective Lt. »
