The hottest superhero news of the day is that THE AVENGERS will have a new female character: it seems that Nick Fury (to be played by Samuel L. Jackson) will have a female partner while joining Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) in the super hero extravaganza. And according to fresh news, lovely Morena Baccarin (V, FIREFLY) has already screen tested for that role. It's been said previously that Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow will be the only major female hero in the cast, but according to rumors Morena could play Janet van Dyne a.k.a The Wasp.
This spring will bring us a new drama LAST NIGHT with an interesting cast: Sam Worthington, Eva Mendes and Keira Knightley star in the story which centers on a married couple apart for an evening when the husband (Sam) takes a business trip with a colleague (Eva) to whom he's attracted. While he's resisting temptation, his wife (Keira) encounters her past love.
SHORT HEADLINES Julia Roberts is in final negotiations to take the role of the Evil Queen in Tarsem Sing's THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE in which Snow White bands together with the Seven Dwarfs to take on the Evil Queen after she kills Snow White's father and destroys their kingdom. The biggest hero of all freedom loving world Julian Assange will get his film based on "New York Times" article "The Boy Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest", and some rumors say Paul Bettany could play him.
Last Night sounds like a cute rom/com or is it a drama? Interesting casting that haven't been grouped together before!
ReplyDeleteI love Morena, she is so wicked sexy. She would definitely make a great Wasp. Last Night...hmmm not a Keira or Sam fan so I probably won't see it. This Assange movie sounds very interesting, he is a great force for truth. I hope the rumors are true about Paul Bettany.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love Morena! I have no idea what Wasp is, but I'm sure she'll be great!
ReplyDeleteAnd Oh! Julia Roberts as an evil queen! She wont even need to act!
Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHavent seen anything with Julia Roberts in a long while.
Like your new poll:)
Are fairy tales going to take the place of vampire stories? Seems to be more and more of them that are not necessarily the merry Disneyesque versions.

Morena might be better suited to the Human Girrafe. I kid. She is gorgeous, but man does she have a long neck.
ReplyDeleteI can't for the life of me imagine Juilia playing anything evil...oh snap...she must be bored lol
ReplyDeleteI hope LAST NIGHT will find a distributor in the US, but it probably would end up being a rental for me. Here's a trailer for the movie for anyone interested: http://flixchatter.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/conspicuous-trailer-of-the-week-last-night/
ReplyDeleteMorena is a gorgeous girl, even with a pixie cut she's stunning. That'd be a coveted role is she is cast in The Avengers. Not surprised though as she's worked with Whedon before.
Morena Baccarin is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if Sam Worthington can channel some real acting power in "Last Night" because I thought his last few performances were underwhelming.
ReplyDeleteGood to see Morena picking up more work. I say that for all the Firefly cast though. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting drama. I can't picture Julia Roberts as an evil queen. Guess we'll see whether she can pull it off or not.
Roberts in a villain's role? That could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteJulia Roberts should be a good evil queen, she's been practicing being evil her whole life.
ReplyDelete@Kelly
ReplyDeleteno, it's not romantic film, it's a drama.
@Melissa
I can't stand Keira either, so I hope Eva will end up with Sam in the film :)
@Charley
I totally agree- Julia is pure evil! I've always sensed some negative energy around her presence.
@Avalon
glad you like the new poll
@Arlee
ReplyDeleteah, Lee, you know that once Hollywood grabs onto something, it doesn't let it for a long time
@Budd
she also has very long legs if you haven't noticed :)
@Falsy
you can't??? I've always thought of her as of witch :)
@Flixy
they did find a distributor it's coming out in April
@Zoe
ReplyDeleteshe is!
@Matty
that's his only problem. He got so many huge roles in the biggest possible films, and didn't really prove himself, so he need to show some acting unless he wants to disappear.
@MPax
we all support FIREFLY cast greatly (except that young girl, Summer Glau,I'm not into her at all).
@Alex
it could, although I don't want her in Tarsem's film :(
@Raw
I couldn't agree with you more!
I so totally cannot wait for Last Night....
ReplyDeleteBeen excited about this one for a year now.
I so hope they include the Wasp. She is a terrific character in the new 'Avengers' cartoon. And I love anything Morena is in. She would be perfect with her short hair and awesome body.
ReplyDelete@Andrew
ReplyDeletereally? That's nice to hear.
@Kal
she will be a great addition if she gets the role, THE AVENGERS really need more female heroes. I wouldn't mind if Eva Longoria got the role either.
The picture of Morena Baccarin freaks me out a little. It looks like the lower part of her leg is missing.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Avengers were British? Oh well, I think it's neat. Cool concept for Snow White.
ReplyDeleteI do like Morena as an actress. I hope she is included in the cast.
ReplyDeleteSam & Eva, sounds like it's going to be interesting :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Morena will do a good job! :)
paul bettany!!!!
ReplyDelete*sigh*
:) :) :)
of course assange would get his own movie. they'll call it "the public privacies: social network 2, electric boogaloo"
ReplyDeletevery interesting Dezz .. Fairy tales seem to be the hottest thing in movies now.
ReplyDelete.........dhole
@Holly
ReplyDeleteheh, it's not missing it's, she's just bending her knee :)
@Clarissa
those are not the same AVENGERS, Clarissa :) these are the super heroes not the spies :)
@Lynda
me too, she deserves her chance on film too.
@Doo
ReplyDeletethey sure are a steamy combination :)
@Vics
I'm sighing with you, sister :)
@Jon
not sure I get it, but I support Assange and his fight
@Donna
it's true, Donna, but it's better fairy tales than zombies and vampires :)
Morena as Wasp would've been the best thing about Avengers so far. But alas... :(
ReplyDeleteI don't really like any of these characters. I'll watch this film, and maybe even like it, but I would love to watch something else (someone else) instead.
Yes, Morena would've been the best choice, just like Nathan Fillion would've been million times better choice for Hawkeye than Renner :(
