6 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

You may recognize Luke Evans from "Immortals," "The Raven" or "Clash of the Titans," but he'll soon be a household name due to his roles in two big 2013 blockbusters.  First, he'll be seen as the decidedly English villain in the current release "Fast and Furious 6," facing down Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Gina Carano, Ludacris, and more. He'll then segue into his role as the Bard in the next two films in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" saga. HitFix's Guy Lodge sat down with Evans to discuss his "Fast 6" character of Owen, who Evans describes as a rich  ex-military type who's »

Screenwriter Damon Lindelof has tweeted an 'apology' to fans offended by a revealing scene involving English actress, Alice Eve's character 'Carol Marcus', in "Star Trek Into Darkness".

In the film Eve is revealed in her underwear before changing into a space suit, as an homage to actress Sigourney Weaver's 'Ripley' character in "Alien":

Actress Alice Eve first appeared in UK TV dramas including BBC's "The Rotters' Club" and "Agatha Christie's Poirot".

Gerard Butler In Talks To Star In Feature Length Adaptation of Viral Short ‘The Raven’

17 May 2013 1:13 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

The Hollywood Reporter says that Gerard Butler is in talks to star in the sci-fi film The Raven. The movie is based on a viral short film from 2010.

Synopsis: 

Chris Black possesses a power that could lead to the destruction of the current regime, and they will stop at nothing to destroy him. The chase is on as Chris runs for his life in this sci-fi thriller set in an alternate and futuristic Los Angeles.

The Raven (2010) was directed by Ricardo de Montreuil and filmed on an Red camera with a budget of 5k in Los Angeles.

The Raven (2010)

Liam Hemsworth was originally attached to play the lead but that plan has since fizzled.

This is an interesting casting choice, given the fact the role seemed to suit a younger actor.

Michael Gilio wrote the script based on the short film’s story by de Montreuil and Antonio Perez.

Gerard Butler to Destroy Robots With His Mind in 'The Raven'

17 May 2013 11:05 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Who needs "300"-style Spartan abs when you can just blow robots up with your telekinetic powers?

That's a question you'll have to ask Gerard Butler, since according to Deadline he and his abs are in negotiations to replace Liam Hemsworth as the lead in Universal's feature version of sci-fi short "The Raven." No relation to that bird crap John Cusack movie of the same name, or the Lou Reed album either.

And, no, it's not the same movie as "The Crow," either. Nice try.

Ricardo de Montreuil's 6-minute futuristic conspiracy thriller exploded the internet in 2010, looking like a legit summer blockbuster right out of the gate with its combo of well-integrated CGI, tight action and lens flares galore. The calling card announced in de Montreuil a perfect blend of Neill Blomkamp meets Michael Bay, even though its plot of dystopian government types using machines to hunt down a super-powered »

Gerard Butler to Join the Sci-Fi Action Film The Raven

17 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Gerard Butler is in talks to join the big screen adaptation of the sci-fi action short film The Raven. The feature film was announced back in 2010, and it's been floating around in development hell for awhile. It's good to see that Universal Pictures is finally moving forward with it. 

The original film was directed by Ricardo de Montreuil and was shot  in Los Angeles on the Red camera with a budget of $5,000 dollars. It's an investment that really paid off for him. We previously heard that Montreuil will direct the film from a script written by Justin Marks

The story follows Chris Black, who "possesses a power that could lead to the destruction of the current regime, and they will stop at nothing to destroy him. The chase is on as Chris runs for his life in this sci-fi thriller set in an alternate and futuristic Los Angeles."

The Cabining: “Todd and Bruce, a hapless screenwriting team, get one last shot at success thanks to Todd’s wealthy stepdad, Serge. If they pen a worthy horror script, Serge will fund the entire project. But there is one condition – the script must be complete in two weeks. With the deadline looming and no fresh ideas, Todd and Bruce head to Shangri-La, a serene artist’s retreat, with the hope that the peace and company of fellow artists will inspire greatness… or, failing greatness, at least enough for straight-to-dvd.

The Crow reboot takes a step closer to reality after finding its star in Luke Evans. Evans will play Eric Draven, the role held by Brandon Lee in Alex ProyasThe Crow, based on the comic book by James O'Barr. Lee died tragically while filming after a prop gun filled with blanks misfired and fatally wounded the actor.

Luke Evans Cast as 'Dracula' and 'The Crow'

6 May 2013 6:55 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Almost a month ago Luke Evans was cast to play the lead character in Universal's Dracula, a film that has been in development for quite a long time, once attracting Sam Worthington in the lead role with Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City) directing. Proyas' project fell apart and now Universal is putting it back together with Evans as the first aboard to tell the story of a young prince who, when the lives of his wife and child are put in danger by a bloodthirsty sultan, risks his soul to save them, and in the process becomes the first vampire. First time feature director Gary Shore is helming the project, which should give you some idea of just what exactly Universal is putting together. Shore first came to the attention of most for his non-commissioned trailer for The Wolverine, which you can watch to the right. By the looks »
