Sam Worthington Soldiers Up For Daniel Barber's Civil War Thriller The Keeping Room
29 April 2013 9:02 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
While it is doubtful the phrase .Academy Award winner Sam Worthington. is going to sincerely come out of someone.s mouth anytime soon, the guy definitely has an enviable career, mixing gigantic budget affairs like Avatar and Wrath of the Titans with low-budget flicks like Texas Killing Fields. Put him in anything, and he.ll be serviceable. So why not a Civil War thriller? Deadline reports he's the latest to join The Keeping Room, the second film from Harry Brown director Daniel Barber - and I think it.s safe to call him the male lead. He joins Brit Marling (Sound of My Voice), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Nicole Beharie (42) in the film, which was written by Julia Hart. In The Keeping Room, Worthington will play a soldier in the last days of the Civil War who breaks off from the impending Union Army and stumbles upon a group »

It seems it has been forever and then some since we last saw a film from Michael Mann. Since directing 2009's Public Enemies, Mann produced his daughter's film, Texas Killing Fields, the now canceled HBO show "Luck" and the HBO documentary series "Witness". A Blu-ray edition of his 1999 thriller The Insider recently debuted, but new work from Mann has been hard to find. That will change soon enough. Details on his upcoming cyber-thriller starring Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) has recently emerged with The Hollywood Reporter saying it will revolve around a U.S.-China task force pursuing a hacker hailing from the Balkans and based in a Southeast Asian country. Rumor has it Mann has been scouting locations in Hong Kong and meeting with talent including the likes of Tang Wei (Lust, Caution), Shawn Yue Man-lok (Infernal Affairs) and Nick Cheung Ka-fai (Election). The film is being produced by Legendary »

Chloë Moretz Joins ‘Dark Places’ Cast Alongside Charlize Theron
2 April 2013 11:42 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Sixteen-year-old actress Chloë Moretz is already no stranger to the darker genres of cinema, having starred in the ultra-violent Kick-Ass movies, Matt Reeves’ haunting vampire love story Let Me In, and the crime thriller Texas Killing Fields - as well as providing voice talent for the rat-ridden steampunk assassination-themed video game, Dishonored. She will also be seen later this year as the lead in Kimberley Peirce’s Carrie remake, and early teaser images show her drenched from head to toe in pig’s blood, following the film’s most iconic scene.
It’s fair to say that Moretz’s career has already been to some pretty dark places, so it only makes sense that her next should follow suit. Deadline reports that Moretz is in talks to join Exclusive Media’s new thriller, Dark Places, ...

Chloë Moretz Looks to Join Charlize Theron in Dark Places
1 April 2013 9:58 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Chloë Moretz, at just 16 years old, has already participated in a bevy of thematically grim and/or bleakly titled work — films like Today You Die, The Amityville Horror, Wicked Little Things, Kick-Ass, Texas Killing Fields, Let Me In, Dark Shadows, and the upcoming Carrie remake. It stands to reason she'll sign on to join Charlize Theron in an adaptation of Gillian Flynn's Dark Places. If you've read the novel, Moretz is eyeing the role of Diondra. If you haven't read the novel, Moretz is still eyeing that same role. »

9 Foreign Actors Who Do the Worst American Accents
26 March 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
People are always complaining about how much Americans suck at doing accents, whether it's Kevin Costner as "Robin Hood" or Keanu Reeves seemingly coming off a heroin addiction in "Bram Stoker's Dracula." And we do suck sometimes, yes.
However, we want to at least even the playing field a little by pointing out some bafflingly bad American accents perpetrated by thesps from overseas. Europe and Australia may have the best acting academies and such, but not every graduate is as versatile as they should be, starting with a certain Gerard Butler from this past weekend's "Olympus Has Fallen."
This week's "Olympus Has Fallen" is cheesy fun, but Butler's American cadence is just … off. Granted, he's a bit more convincing than his oft-compared Scottish soul mate Sean Connery, but the "300" star has tried his hand at miming our accent in disasters like "The Bounty Hunter" and the recent surfing drama "Chasing Mavericks. »

Matthew Fox (World War Z, Alex Cross, “Lost”) joins with Academy Award® winner Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln, No Country For Old Men, The Fugitive, Hope Springs), newcomer Eriko Hatsune and award-winning Japanese star Toshiyuki Nishida to bring to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito’s World War II surrender. As General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture – and psychological warfare – General Bonner Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved? Caught between the high-wire political intrigue of his urgent mission and his own impassioned search for the mysterious school teacher (Hatsune) who first drew him to Japan, Fellers can be certain only that the »

Best Actress Nominee Jessica Chastain: The Hollywood Flashback Interview
15 February 2013 2:01 PM, PST | The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news »
In May of 2006, I sat down with actress Jessica Chastain, then an unknown and untested 29 year-old who was on the precipice of her first big break after being tapped by Al Pacino to co-star in his stage production of Oscar Wilde's "Salome" at the Wadsworth Theater. Then as now, Chastain's fresh-faced beauty made every passerby do a double-take as we spoke. Her ambition to succeed as a performer was palpable, and paid off in 2011 with Chastain appearing in six high-profile films: "Take Shelter," "The Tree of Life," "Coriolanus," "The Debt," "Texas Killing Fields," and "The Help," for which she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination. This year, Chastain received a nod in the Best Actress category for Katherine Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and is the undisputed front-runner to take a statuette home.

Sam Worthington Will Lead For The Dogs
31 January 2013 10:25 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Remember back in 2009 when Sam Worthington was the biggest thing since sliced bread? After the success of James Cameron’s Avatar, the little known actor broke out and became a bankable name. But then something happened, the buzz surrounding the Aussie actor died down considerably. Films like The Debt, Man on a Ledge and Texas Killing Fields have pushed him far under the radar. Now, the actor may just want to take it easy before he gears up for Avatar 2, but his rather unimpressive filmography as of late isn’t helping his career. And it seems as that trend will continue as Worthington is set to star in an indie action/thriller titled For The Dogs.
An adaptation of Kevin Wignall’s novel, the Phillip Noyce helmed film will be penned by Oren Moverman. For those unfamiliar with the story, it follows a “a lone assassin (Worthington) in Italy »

Sam Worthington to Lead 'For the Dogs' Adaptation from Philip Noyce
31 January 2013 9:56 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
For a stretch around 2009, it seemed as if every executive in Hollywood suddenly received the same memo: "cast Sam Worthington in any blockbuster you can." But things have quieted down a little for the Aussie actor in recent years, he starred in some lower profile projects like The Debt and Texas Killing Fields, and now Variety reports that he has a new non-franchise film in the works. He'll play the lead role in the indie action thriller For the Dogs, an adaptation of Kevin Wignall's 2007 novel that has Salt director Phillip Noyce set to helm and Rampart writer/director Oren Moverman writing the screenplay. More below! The story revolves around a lone assassin (Worthington) in Italy who keeps an eye on a young college girl as a favor to her father. When the girl's entire family is murdered, the assassin reluctantly agrees to help her get revenge, even though the »

Sam Worthington Is Back Indie Action-Thriller For The Dogs
31 January 2013 7:43 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Between Avatar and Terminator Salvation, Sam Worthington seemed poised to be the next big thing in 2009. However, the latter feature was loathed by critics, and the former drew buzz for its spectacle, not its performances. Still, Worthington's been doing all right, scoring roles in action films like Clash of the Titans and Man on Ledge and dramas like Last Night and Texas Killing Fields. Still, he's yet to really establish his brand. Could a thriller helmed by Clear and Present Danger director Phillip Noyce make all the difference? Variety reports Worthington has signed on to headline For The Dogs. Based on the Kevin Wignall novel of the same name, the film follows recently retired hitman Stephen Lucas who is asked to watch out for Ella, the spirited college-aged daughter of a friend. But when her whole family is murdered, Lucas comes out of retirement to protect her and help her »

Discuss: Does Having 'Mama' & 'Zero Dark Thirty' At The Top Of The Box Office Make Jessica Chastain A Movie Star?
22 January 2013 9:05 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As has been commented on by more than one person in the last day or two, this weekend's box office chart tells of an impressive feat. Both the number one movie, the Guillermo Del Toro-produced horror "Mama," and the number two film, Kathryn Bigelow's much-lauded "Zero Dark Thirty," feature the same actress in the lead role -- Jessica Chastain. Chastain was virtually unknown this time two years ago, but a flurry of activity in 2011, with "The Tree Of Life," "Take Shelter," "The Debt," "Coriolanus" and "Texas Killing Fields" culminated in an Oscar nomination for her role in blockbuster hit "The Help." And her success continued in 2012 with "Lawless" and a vocal turn in "Madagascar 3," with 2013 kicking off with a second Oscar nomination for "Zero Dark Thirty," an acclaimed turn on Broadway in "The Heiress," and her current box-office supremacy. »
