Michael Pena May Join Brad Pitt In David Ayer’s Fury
15 May 2013 11:40 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Though it was only announced a short while ago, David Ayer’s Fury has picked up quite a bit of traction. The WWII thriller snagged Brad Pitt for the lead role and shortly after, signed both Shia Labeouf and Logan Lerman. Now, Michael Pena is in talks to join the gang.
Set in the “waning days” of WWII, the film will tell the story of a five-man tank crew. Pitt will play the leader, named Wardaddy, while the other actors will portray members of the crew. Pena is said to be playing the tank’s driver, “a butcher who always is drunk — having vowed never to go into combat sober.”
Of course, Pena and Ayer recently worked together on the excellent End of Watch, a cop drama/thriller that blew me away. It was one of my favorite films of 2012 and I’m excited to see the two teaming up again. »

Will Smith lassoes lead role in The Wild Bunch remake
15 May 2013 3:31 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Actor confirmed for update of Sam Peckinpah's iconic film, reportedly featuring DEA agent on tail of Mexican drug baron
Will Smith is set to star in a modern-day remake of The Wild Bunch, Sam Peckinpah's classic tale of a gang of ageing outlaws organising one last heist in the dying days of the American old west, reports the Wrap.
A new version of Peckinpah's iconic western has been gestating in Hollywood for almost a decade. The late British director Tony Scott was at one point tipped to direct, with End of Watch's David Ayer having previously been in the hot seat. The latter's idea for a contemporary remake set in Mexico and featuring firefights between CIA agents and drug cartels appears to have survived the long pre-production process. The new take is said to follow a disgraced DEA agent who assembles a team to go after a »

15 May 2013 12:43 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Michael Pena will re-team with his End Of Watch director David Ayer for Fury. He’ll play a drunk butcher who drives Brad Pitt around while under the influence of alcohol.
Fury is set at the very end of World War II, in April 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theater, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. Shia Labeouf and Logan Lerman are also set to co-star.
Production is set to begin in September 2013 and Columbia plans to release Fury on November 14, 2014.
Pena previously starred in Ruben Fleischer’s Gangster Squad. He’ll next appear in DreamWorks Animation’s Turbo and David O. Russell’s American Hustle. »

What is Casting Couch? It’s one stop shopping when it comes to casting news. It’s even better than shopping though, because it’s free. Today you can pay no money to find out what Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass are teaming up on, as well as what Bill Hader’s first post-SNL gig might be. It looks like David Gordon Green’s turn back toward directing more dramatic movies again is starting to stick. THR is reporting that his next project is going to be a drama called Mangelhorn that’s about an eccentric man who’s trying to come to terms with the fact that a past crime has cost him the love of his life. More than that though, Mangelhorn is a drama that’s going to be employing one of the most celebrated dramatic actors of all time, because the trade’s report also says that Al Pacino has been attached »

Will Smith In Talks To Star In Reimagining Of The Wild Bunch
14 May 2013 1:54 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Will Smith is now looking to both produce and star in a remake of The Wild Bunch, but for those of you who are having horrific flashbacks of Wild, Wild West, I have an interesting extra detail - the remake won't be set in the old west. While the original film featured actors including William Holden and Ernest Borgnine as aging outlaws who pull one last job before retirement, The Wrap says that the new film will be set in modern times and "follow a disgraced D.E.A. agent who assembles a team to go after a Mexican drug lord and his fortune." The reimagining has been in development for some time now, with David Ayer (End of Watch) previously hired to work on a draft. Tony Scott and Brian Helgeland also worked on the project and wrote half the screenplay, but unfortunately Scott died last year. Warner Bros. »

Jake Gyllenhaal donated $5,000 to a mental healthcare charity supporting military veterans. The 'End of Watch' actor generously opened up his cheque book at the Headstrong Project's Words of War event - which raised money for comprehensive psychological help for troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan - at the Iac building in New York City last night (08.05.13). The 32-year-old star was one of the speakers booked for the event and followed up his address by getting the auction proceedings underway. However, after the first few minutes of the sale - which was being held to raise funds for mental health care - went by without a bid, the Oscar-nominated actor stepped up with a $5,000 donation to »

Casting: Neil Labute Enlists Ethan Hawke, Vera Farmiga For New Thriller; Logan Lerman Joins Brad Pitt For ‘Fury’
6 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Logan Lerman might be known for the forgettable “Percy Jackson” films (a sequel arrives this summer), but he almost scored the coveted lead in “The Amazing Spider-Man” a few years ago and he impressed with his acting chops in “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.” Casting directors and filmmakers have noticed. He’s getting called up into the big leagues and will join Brad Pitt and Shia Labeouf in the WWII tank thriller “Fury” that “End of Watch” filmmaker David Ayer is writing and directing for Sony Pictures. The movie is already set for a Fall 2014 release and it’s an interesting one because it will be Ayer’s first non police-centered movie. Let’s hope unlike the almost great “End Of Watch,” the visual material doesn’t stand in the way of a good story and strong dynamic.
