Variety has reported today that
Jake Gyllenhaal has replaced
Dominic Cooper in the lead role in
MOTOR CITY, a thriller about an ex convict who is released from prison, and then begins a quest for
vengeance, seeking out the men who framed him.
Gary Oldman will play the villain, while gorgeous
Amber Heard plays the female lead role. After the success of his SOURCE CODE thriller last year, which earned more than $100 million around the world, Jake will also join
Jessica Biel and
James Marsden in
NAILED (about a small town waitress who gets a nail accidentally lodged in her head causing unpredictable behavior that leads her to Washington, DC, where sparks fly when she meets a clueless young senator who takes up her cause) and in
END OF WATCH, about the long-term friendship and partnership between two cops. What is it with big stars going B-league and shooting mediocre crime flicks? I mean, wasn't Gyllenhaal prince of Persia?
HOLLY WOOD SPY HEAD LINES
Ah, those damn vampires just won't let it go! Surprise, surprise, there's a new vampire project in Hollywood, and methinks it's the 58th in line, but it might be 59th as well: as "Deadline" reports
Alexandre Aja (THE HILLS HAVE EYES) might helm
UNDYING LOVE, which will be a movie adaptation of a comic following an ex-soldier who falls for a girl that happens to be a vampire. The only way the two can be together is if the man takes on the vampire who created her, which also means
fighting an army of monsters in the Hong Kong underworld. The story mixes traditional vampire lore with Chinese monster myths and the Hong Kong action genre.
And above you can check out the first pic of
Johnny Depp as Tonto and
Armie Hammer as
THE LONE RANGER from the upcoming blockbuster which comes out next year. Directed by
Gore Verbinski the film will also star
Helena Bonham Carter.
A new poster has been released for
MOONRISE KINGDOM which premiers this May and I know a lot of you are excited about the film since it has a
stellar cast. Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, the story follows a young boy and girl falling in love. When they are moved to run away together, various factions of the town mobilize to search for them and the town is turned upside down – which might not be such a bad thing.
Bruce Willis plays the town sheriff, two-time Academy Award nominee
Edward Norton is cast as a camp leader, Academy Award nominee
Bill Murray and Academy Award winner
Frances McDormand portray the young girl’s parents and the cast also includes Academy Award winner
Tilda Swinton and
Jason Schwartzman.

"my hair is a bird, your arguement is invalid." you may have to google that.
ReplyDeletewhat? :)
DeleteThat's not how I imagined Tonto would look, but I guess they had to make sure Johnny didn't look too much like Captain Sparrow...
ReplyDeleteAnd lol at Budd's comment.
you mean, to you Depp doesn't look overly crazy as in PIRATES? For a second I thought he stole the same costume :)
DeleteThere are some cool movies coming up. I almost didn't recognize Depp as Tonto. Also, love Norton, what a wacky movie.
ReplyDeleteboth will be two wacky movies :)
DeleteIs the casting of Johnny Depp as Tonto getting any criticism as Hollywood hiring yet another white guy to play an Indian instead of a Native American actor? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteNot that I heard of :)
DeleteDepp looks crazy. But crazy works for him. I'll watch. :))
ReplyDeletehe's a definition of crazy, I think even his /ex/wife seems to believe so :)
DeleteI saw Johnny Depp's yacht in Annapolis MD once
ReplyDeleteyou did? :)
DeleteMoonrise might actually be a half decent one and I wonder if that bird every relieved itself on Depp's head..haha
ReplyDeletefingers crossed for the pooping birdy :)
DeleteYeah hopefully it poops and gets off his head
Deletefingers crossed that the Ranger doesn't fry it and eat it :)
DeleteOo, I'm looking forward to Johnny Depp in The Lone Ranger.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear that :)
DeleteMy Johnny looks quite interesting as Tonto, but I don't like the dead bird on his head.
ReplyDeleteMoonrise Kingdom looks fantastic and can't wait to see it. :)
poor dead bird, we've started discussion above on the topic of bird possibly pooping on his head :)
DeleteDoesn't seem like a good idea to have Depp as a native american :\
ReplyDeletemaybe some Native American will get to play George Bush in some biopic :)
DeleteI wish Edward Norton would make a real movie. He hasn't been in one that I've liked since American History X.
ReplyDeletehe definitely isn't a workaholic person
DeleteSeems to be that whenever Depp is offered a role, his response it, "How much make up can I wear?" Looks like it could be pretty cool though.
ReplyDeleteyep, I'm sure that's part of his contracts :)
DeleteI didn't recognize Depp.
ReplyDeleteI'm no longer in the mood for vampires, but maybe I'll change my mind by the time Undying Love comes out.
yep, down with vampires
DeleteI hope they do a good job with the Lone Ranger because it's such a classic. I'm a bit off Depp these days though. And please God, no, not another vampire movie. Moonrise looks like a good film, but they've got Willis looking old and paunchy and if I see it I'll just cry all the way through it.
ReplyDeleteah, I didn't predict such reaction on seeing Bruce old and fat in the trailer, sorry for that one :)
DeleteI averted my eyes darling and have avoided permanent damage to my fantasy life.
Deletehe he :)
DeleteThe Lone Ranger pic is cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteit is :)
DeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteYou're great Dez and apparently so am I and the Cat. Sometimes it's just nice to hear someone say it.
DeleteYes just our fate.
Deleteutter greatness :) We should do some kind of prank with the greatness above :)
Deletenot really a Jake fan, but I'm seriously drooling
ReplyDeleteit's a seriously droolworthy picture and he has one of the hottest bodies in the history of Hollywood :)
DeleteI don't know about The Lone Ranger, they look weird....Wild, Wild West weird!
ReplyDeleteweird indeed, Lurk!
DeleteThough I'm not typically a big fan of Wes, MOONRISE KINGDOM does look like a hoot. Might go out to see that one when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteit seems like a crazy film, not for me, but I think it will have its fans :)
DeleteMy favorite is when people go all "WTF, Johnny?" with his costume in this. Then you see this picture of the traditional Dakotan Indian attire and you hopefully change your mind.
ReplyDeleteoh, my, and I thought they were ripping off his mask from PIRATES :)
