One of the most exciting upcoming fantasy adventures,
JACK THE GIANT KILLER, to be directed by
Bryan Singer (X-MEN) might add
Ewan McGregor. The film will follow young man Jack (
Nicholas Hoult) who unwittingly breaks a long-standing peace between the humans and giants when he goes after a princess who the giants kidnapped.
Ewan McGregor could play the leader of the king's royal guard who helps in fighting off the giants. The cast also included
Bill Nighy and
Stanley Tucci (

Eleanor Tomlinson from ALICE IN WONDERLAND could get the role of the princess in trouble.
SHORT HEADLINES *Good God!
John Travolta and
Kim Kardashian in the same movie! It almost hurts :) He will play mafia boss John Gotti in an untitled biopic about the famous mobster, while she could play his daughter-in-law. *Charming duo of producers
Iain Canning and
Emile Sherman who brought us THE KING'S SPEECH are now making
AMERICAN ENGLISH about a New Jersey woman who moves to London and tries to vanquish any trace of her Jersey roots. After she becomes engaged, she risks her background being exposed when her mother comes to visit.
Director
Tony Gilroy is currently searching for a new actor who will take over the role of the famous assassin in
THE BOURNE LEGACY from
Matt Damon. According to "MovieWeb" the list of the candidates currently includes following names:
Jake Gyllenhaal,
Tobey Maguire,
Garrett Hedlund (TRON LEGACY),
Taylor Kitsch (
JOHN CARTER OF MARS) and
Kellan Lutz (
IMMORTALS) and they've all already had meetings with the director who also wants to screen test them.
Why? Is Matt Damon too old now for the role?
ReplyDeletewell, he never really was a lucrative actor, he doesn't really bring money to studios, maybe that's the reason?
ReplyDeleteNot lucrative!? I love the Bourne series. Anyway, I love McGregor! Can't wait to see that movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the hell is going on here? Now I kinda like Kim Kardashian...but people are giving her serious rolls now? What the hell!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for immortals! :)
ReplyDeleteEe ma polozio sam sve ispite, nego sam imao neki drugih obaveza pa me i to kocilo
man oh man! jack the giant killer is looking better and better!!!! :)
ReplyDeletejohn travolta grates on my nerves.
the plot of american english reminds me a bit of my fair lady.
my hubs loves those bourne movies. i'll have to tell him they're getting a new lead!
Ah, a Kim Kardashian sighting—very nice!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea another Bourne without Damon was in the works. Cool stuff.
Hard to image Bourne and no Damon.

Thoughts in Progress
Torn on Bourne, but I'll vote for Kellan, damn
ReplyDeleteIf i had my glasses on, they would of been fogged up! Steamy pic! Good, God Gotti....interesting mix, not sure. McGregor always is an interesting lead, sounds good~
I'm sorry, I have no idea what to write after seeing Taylor and Kellan. My brain seems to have short-circuited. ;)
ReplyDeleteit's hard to imagine anyone else taking on that Bourne role. Damon was sooo good in it.
ReplyDelete@Clarissa
ReplyDeleteEwan is such a great actor and a great person as well! He will look perfect in a royal uniform :)
@Falsy
don't worry,sister, with Travolta in it, I seriously doubt the film can be serious (I mean taken for serious) :)))
@Doo
IMMORTALS are my most anticipated film of the decade alongside JOHN CARTER OF MARS :))
@Vics
ReplyDeletehe he I believe he grates on everybody's nerves :)))
@Matty
ah, I always thought you were into dark girls, Italians and Armenian ones like Kim is :)) She would look good beside you, if I may notice :)
@Mason
sorry to disappoint you, but Damon might appear in the film as a guest.
@Ella
ReplyDeleteI knew Kellan would raise some steam around here today :)))
@Melissa
you need an electrician to check you wiring every time you come here, you know this place is under great voltage :))))
@Michael
I kinda can't stand Damon so I'm personally not sad, but I'm sad for all of you who like him. But he will do other films, he's moving on with other projects.
ah.. I really hope they might add you in that Jack the Giant Killer film, buddy. :)
ReplyDeleteplaying what? :) A hen which lays golden eggs? :)))
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should remake that old TV show Land of the Giants.

Tossing It Out
what was that one about, Lee? I don't remember it.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember the premise correctly: Earthship lands on planet that is the same as Earth except the inhabitants are bigger--a whole lot bigger. Made for some fun hide and seek and special effects. They could do it all a lot better now. The show came on in the late 60s I believe.

Tossing It Out
Bourne Legacy might turn out a great one with these choices.
ReplyDeleteI'm so for Ewan McGregor. Hope he gets in.

@Arlee
ReplyDeleteoooh, sounds interesting, I love shows set on other planets!
@Nahno
I'm also hoping Ewan will really get the role, he would make the film so much better!
I would destroy Kim Kardashian, just saying. Great stuff, glad I'm following!
ReplyDelete"Destroy" is such an ambiguous word :)
ReplyDeleteJack the Giant Killer hasn't been on my radar much, but I'm liking the cast now w/ the two Brits in the lead. As for that Gotti biopic, it's a skip for me with Kardashian involved. I'm w/ Thundercat, not sure she's got much acting talent to go with that bodacious body, no offense.
ReplyDeleteyep, and if Kim is getting roles, why aren't we getting some too? :)
ReplyDeleteTravolta is awesome as a bad guy. And who doesn't want to see Kim K. in anything? Hell, any of the Kardashian girls would be great in my book. I wonder if we can have them bottle up those genes, just in case future generations need a hottie or two.
ReplyDeleteah, Eric that's orthodox/Slav blood in Kim that makes you wanna go hmmm hmmm hmmm :)
