Hollywood has a go-to tough girl, and her name is Michelle Rodriguez. Ever since her breakout role in Girlfight, the 2000 indie where she played a troubled teen who finds her identity through boxing, Rodriguez has dominated the market on roles that call for a tough, no-nonsense beauty who can throw a punch without breaking her withering glare. Not only is she the alpha-female in the Fast and the Furious franchise, but she piloted a space chopper in Avatar, played a vengeful ex-cop on Lost, and scrapped with aliens in Battle: Los Angeles.
EW caught up with Rodriguez at the Los »

'Resident Evil: Retribution' star and all round hottie Li Bingbing (below) has joined the cast of 'Transformers 4'. The Chinese star has joined the project lined up for Michael Bay to helm once again which begins shooting soon in her native country. The actress thanked Paramount Pictures for the role and Bay commented to Entertainment Weekly that he was 'excited to have Li Bingbing join our cast'. Mark Wahlberg ('Ted'), Nicola Peltz ('Bates Motel'), Stanley Tucci ('The Lovely Bones'), Sophia Myles and Kelsey Grammer ('X-Men: The Last Stand') are all on board this fourth installment which is being touted as the beginning of a whole new trilogy in the franchise. 'Transformers 4', which will no doubt in time be given a much snappier title, is set for release on 27 June 2014. »

Just in case you happen to be in area of Austin, Texas or China, and not doing much for the next couple of months, Transformers 4 needs willing extras to take part in various scenes. Casting notices have hit the information superhighway with bizarrely specific requirements – agency Third Coast Extras are asking for “adults 18+ and children 9-12 of any ethnicity to work June 3-20″ in the Austin area. So if you’re 13 to 17, screw you. Some Chinese members of the cast are to be selected via a specially-designed talent show called “Transformers 4 Chinese Actor Talent Search“, a title perhaps only created to make the Chinese look stupid in any Chinese-to-English translations. Auditions begin in June, and the show will air on CCTV-6.
Those cast through T4CATS (also the name of a feline superhero squad with secret identities as yoof TV presenters) will have speaking roles, and will appear in scenes filmed in China. »
