Our favourite
Karl Urban has signed on for the lead role in
OVERDRIVE, in which he and
Ben Barnes star as a pair of car-thief brothers, who venture to the south of France to find more
work, and end up getting in over their heads. You probably remember that the first choices for the duo were
Alex Pettyfer and
Matthew Goode.
MovieWeb has a report today on
GRACE OF MONACO, a biopic of famous
Grace Kelly, a Hollywood star whose life changed drastically after marrying Prince Rainer of Monaco. The film will be similar to THE KING'S SPEECH, since it will tell her personal tale against the political backdrop of the 1960s, when Monaco was embroiled in a heated dispute with France and Grace's diplomatic maneuvering brought the conflict to an end.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES

Showtime has renewed
HOMELAND with
Damian Lewis and
Claire Danes for the 2nd season.
Deadline reports that
Universal has grabbed thriller
GRIM NIGHT after seeing the exciting teaser trailer for the spec script which describes a night that happens once a year globally, where people lock themselves at home and fend off the senseless and random attacks by Grims.
Warner Bros. has picked up
THE END, a science fiction story with three interconnected storylines in which different people are trying to reconcile with the fact that the world is going to end in just six hours due to some interstellar event.
And speaking of zombies, check out the first poster for
PARANORMAN an interesting new animated flick which should hit cinemas next August with the story set in a small town which
comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst of all, moronic grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.

So much delicious sci-fi!!!!
ReplyDeletewe do love us some sf!
ReplyDeleteSo it's just overdrive, not Maximum Overdrive? The trucks with the joker faces are going to be very disapointed..haha
ReplyDeleteno maximum this time, Pat the Cat!
ReplyDeleteWow, you hit me with a double shot of gorgeous with that first picture.
ReplyDeleteOverdrive goes on the To Be Watched List. :))
And I told you, Dezzy. Zombies are taking over the world!! They had a big zombie-fest here in Denver this weekend.
The comedic ladies poll was very difficult. Some great ladies on that list! (But where's Tina Fey???) :)
ReplyDeleteI voted Mila because I love That 70's Show and the Forgetting Sarah Marshall movie.
WHOA!! Today is the day for awesome movie duo! I just heard that Rufus Sewell & Gabriel Byrne are starring in a movie together and now Ben Barnes AND Karl Urban as brothers?? Sign me up!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Homeland has been renewed - thanks for the good news.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather see Karl than Matthew, though Matthew is cute. However, Karl is HOT and he should be in everything. ;) But I'm preaching to the choir about Karl's looks. ;)
ReplyDeleteParaNorman is everything I could want in an animated feature. I have got to see it.
the walkind dead is so cool
ReplyDeletei love this serie
excellent post :D
Thanks for making my day; I love HOMELAND and Zombies! Grim looks good, lol~
ReplyDeleteParanorman sounds cool
ReplyDeleteParanorman sounds cute, I'm looking forward to seeing that one :)
ReplyDeleteKarl Urban is the man and animated zombies...quality stuff.
ReplyDeleteAren't all zombies animated? Or, I suppose, re-animated?
ReplyDeleteI want to watch the series Homeland. I think it would be interesting. Also, I'm happy that they are finally doing a biopic on Kelly. She was an amazing person (whose life sadly got cut short) and I would like to learn more about her.
ReplyDeleteawwww!!! paranorman looks too cute!
ReplyDeletealso- can't stomach ben barnes after that absolutely horrid dorian grey flick. i couldn't make it through that one. yuck!
@Luanne
ReplyDeleteI know, in this dark hours of zombie apocalypse, Karl is the only one who could save us ... at least by giving us some comfort when we stare at his pic :)
@Kelly
sorry, Kels, but I can't stand Fey nor that type of talentless comedians.
@Flixy
I haven't heard of that one with RufRuf and Gabriel. I must investigate it later on :)
@Fabo
ReplyDeleteI don't watch it, but as you know I'm glad for our dear Damian :)
@Melsy
yep, you're preaching to the choir :) But you gave me the idea that Karl and Matthew should do a film together :) I might die after that one :)
@Damon
it is a cool show, different from everything else on TV
@Ella
ReplyDeletebe welcome Ella, glad you liked the news today :)
@Adam
it will be a cool animated flick for sure
@Jamie
can't wait to see some pics from the film and trailer probably early next year
@Lurk
ReplyDeletehe IS the man!
@Josh
nope, they are real, very real. Better check your neighborhood! Or your own pulse :P
@Clarissa
yes, I'm kinda shocked that nobody made a film about her before, she really is one of the biggest icons ever. Hope Winslet or Blanchett will play her :)
@Vics
I'm with you on Ben. It's not that I hate him or something, but I just don't see his appeal with him being so expressionless, cold, like some mannequin or a puppet.
Want to watch paranorman.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, a third season of The Walking Dead? It's a lot more popular than I initially expected.
ReplyDelete@Pesos
ReplyDeleteit is a nice film
@DWei
it is a global phenomenon!
Dezzy - PARANORMAN sounds like it'll be fun. HOMELAND has been good. I like Claire Danes in this role.
ReplyDeleteIf Grace of Monaco ends up as good as Kings Speech it will definitely be worth a watch. And paranorman sounds fun
ReplyDelete@Shells
ReplyDeleteit sure does :)
I'm personally not watching HOMELAND due to its topic, but I know it has a lot of viewers
@Dirty
I hope they will GRACE film as an Oscar vehicle for some great actress.
ooo, love Clare Danes, and a movie about Princess Grace would be too cool. I would love that--esp. by those King's Speech fellows. I hope it's awesome. Thanks, Dezzy~ :o)
ReplyDeleteit won't be made by those fellows :) but it will be similar to the film in following a turbulent period in the life of a ruler .
