We've mentioned
Colin Farrell two days ago with the trailer of TOTAL RECALL, but here he is again: he and
Dominic Cooper will star in
DEAD MAN
DOWN, action thriller about a woman (Noomi Rapace) who enlists the help of a criminal (
Colin Farrell) to get revenge on those who murdered her family. According to "Variety"
Dominic Cooper will play Darcy, Colin Farrell's street partner in crime.
Meanwhile,
Liam Neeson, who is currently playing Zeus in CLASH OF THE TITANS, will star in
NON STOP, which, according to "MovieWeb", is set aboard an international flight, and revolves around a weary air marshal (
Liam Neeson) who must spring into action to contain a threat while the plane is in the air.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Almost a year ago I've
informed you about SMALLVILLE producers doing the futuristic film adaptation of famous
ALLAN QUATERMAIN saga with either
Sam Worthington or
Tom Welling in the lead
role, but now it seems they are moving the project onto the small screens: according to "The Hollywood Reporter"
Sonar Entertainment is preparing a $30 million worth TV show which would, in ten episodes, follow the adventurous character from the 1880s who inspired the Indiana Jones franchise. As you remember Allan Quatermain was a brave adventurer dressed in safari clothes who searched for the famous mines of King Solomon. If I remember correctly he was already played by
Richard Chamberlaine. Beside
MARCO POLO and
DA VINCI'S DEMONS shows on
Starz, this would be the third new high profile adventure show broadcast next year.
Speaking of
Liam Neeson according to "Vulture" he might appear in the new project of
one of our favourite directors Oscar winning
PaulHaggis (CRASH). The complex love drama called
THIRD PERSON will focus on three story lines, three love stories, three relationships in three different cities that combine in a very odd way: New York, Paris and Rome.
Liam Neeson will be partner of
Olivia Wilde, who will play a party reporter from New York. There are also rumours that
Jude Law could also join this cast.
Speaking of nice casts, "Variety" reports that ultra talented
Geoffrey Rush and young
Jim Sturgess will play in
THE BEST OFFER, a new drama by Oscar winner
Giuseppe Tornatore (CINEMA PARADISO, MALENA), which will be set in the world of art auctions in Vienna and the Alps. Famous
Ennio Morricone will write the score.

Wow, Dez, that is a beautiful photo of Miss Wilde.
ReplyDeleteit is, isn't it? I knew people will like it :) I opted between this one and her naked ones, but this one is revealing enough for our boys :)
DeleteWhy is Collin holding a lamb? LOL. This is mah dude, I'll watch anything he's in.
ReplyDeletedon't you know HOLLYWOOD SPY loves posting pics of stars with animals. It's our second fave option after posting their hot pics :) And when we have the combination of the two, it's perfection like in this one :)
Deletethat's a goat not a lamb! ha.
Deleteit really is a goat :) Mary has the lamb :)
DeleteLiam Neeson and Olivia Wilde together? Interesting combination. She looks fabulous in that picture!
ReplyDeleteglad the ladies love the pic of Livie Wilde :) She's always a hit when I post her!
DeleteI am all for the Allan Quartermain tv show!!! And at $30 million it should be real good!
ReplyDeleteBut if it gets too pricey they could do a movie based on his lesser known cousin Pervy Quartermain ... he was a creeper though?
it should, it's almost the budget of GAME OF THRONES :)
DeleteWho is this Pervy, I like the notion of him :)
Quarterman kinda looks like Indiana Jones
ReplyDeleteread the post, Adam, it says that Indiana took inspiration from Quatermain.
Deletegreat pic of olivia...the Quartermain project looks great
ReplyDeleteglad you like it ;)
DeleteYou had to go and show Farrell again, is that payback on the cat?..hahaha..how rude.
ReplyDeleteQuartermain tv show, hmmm that could work. I remember the movies being okay for the time, an updated version would surely peak my interest. Yep Haggis is great, he gave us Due South and of course Walker Texas Ranger, but lets forget the second one.
well, you have a goat there too, cats like to play with goats :)
DeleteI'd forget the first one too, but let us not be picky :PPP
Cat's like to play with goats? Since when? Bah you can't forget the first one, you just have no taste. After The Fountain that can easily be seen..hahaha...I'll never let that one go.
Deleteyep, it's clearly obvious from this site that me is a man of no taste :)
DeleteDead Man Down and Allan Quartermain both sound extremely intriguing. Third Person, not if Olivia's in it. You know my thoughts on her. ;)
ReplyDeleteah, I forgot you no likey Livie :)
DeleteThe Best Offer caught my attention as I love both actors and director, sounds really promising Dezzy :)
ReplyDeleteglad you like that piece of news :)
DeleteThanks for the update...and Olivia looks stunning in that picture ~
ReplyDeleteshe certainly does :)
Deletenot sure if i'll watch any of these. the only thing i know of quartermain is that connery played him in the league of extraordinary gentlemen.
ReplyDeletehe was a great Quatermain, not QuaRter as most of you say :PPP I loved LOEG!
DeleteIt's good to know that Tom Welling is still alive after Smallville, I haven't seen him at all. I still laugh every time I see him and my Jared Padalecki in Cheaper By The Dozen. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if he will have a career after the show, since nothing happened with the above mentioned sf film, but he is nice and I wouldn't mind seeing him on film :)
DeleteMmmm, him and Jared... thanks for a wonderful dream :)
Welling will have the superman curse and not get much, seems to happen to all who play him.
Deleteit's a sad truth :( Brandon Routh, Dean Caine, Christopher Reeve...
DeleteI didn't know that was Wilde. She's so beautiful in that dress. I do like Colin with the goat too.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a photo shoot for VOGUE, but I'm not entirely sure :)
DeleteI've only seen Quartermain in the league of extraordinary gentlemen, so I'll be keeping an keen eye on this :)
ReplyDeleteRichard Chamberlaine made him famous in the films from the 80's and Patrick Swayze also played him in some horribly horrid TV films :)
DeleteIndeed, the pic of Olivia Wilde is awesome! I don't like her with blond hair, but this one is particularly classy.
ReplyDeleteit's a lovely dress, I forgot who's the designer, but it's a haute couture!
DeleteI remember the Richard Chamberlain Quatermain movies as a kid. I loved them. I'll try to catch the show.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful picture of Olivia.
I remember them too :)
DeleteGlad you like the pic!
What has Mr Farrell been up to with that little Lamb?
ReplyDeleteit's a goat, not a lamb, Scottie :) Don't you know your domestic animals :PP
DeleteThe first thing I said when I read ALLAN QUATERMAIN TV SHOW? was, 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' No joke. I mean, say it ain't so. But then again, the movies co-starring Ms Stone were so bad, you'd think the only way is up.
ReplyDeleteNeeson is certainly tall enough to be Olivia Wilde's partner....
that's when I actually discovered Stone and I knew immediately that she will be a star, and it happened later on. She was my first big discovery :)
DeleteNow how could you have possibly known that she would be a star if she spent most of her time at my place?
Deletewe Elven people have powers, I scried her at your cassa :)
DeleteAn Allan Quatermain show? Sign me up. No mention of the Sean Connery portrayal in LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN though?
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention Patrick Swayze's horrid TV films either :)))
DeleteI did love EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN! I love to watch that film whenever it appears on TV
People hate on that movie too much. Was it exceptional? No. But was it fun as hell? You bet.
Deleteonly evil fanboys hate it, people with taste like it :) The ones who loved THE MUMMY, JOHN CARTER, FLASH GORDON, would love EXTRAORDINARY GENTS too, because they know films are made of dreams not of darkness
Deletecollin Ferrell just has a look that makes him seem like he would be a jerk. I don't know maybe it is just me and he is probably a nice enough guy.
ReplyDeletehe sure does look like that, Budd ;)
DeleteOlivia Wilde is just plain gorgeous. It's like she was made to be a movie star. I love her in everything. Sad to see House finally go off the air but meh...without Olivia it was starting to suck anyway. I so wanted to see House pull the plug on her though...that would have been a fitting end to that character.
ReplyDeleteAs for Alan Quartermain...not a fan. I think Indiana Jones took that kind of character to a place where it just shines and these others (even though they predate it) are just not as good. Love Colin Ferrell though. He's so handsome. Man what I wouldn't do to have a boyfriend with the body of a one of these Hollywood hotties. That would entertain me for a year at least...if not more.
she's pretty :) I don't watch HOUSE, but the few episodes I did, I watched for Jesse Spencer :)
DeleteAnd it's nice having such a hot boyfriend, but I think the only one who can give you real sweet love is some charmingly adorable geek :)
this is gonna out me as a nerd a bit, but didn't Johnathan Frakes (Commander Riker on Star Trek TNG) do an Allan Quatermain movie once upon a time?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that one :) Did Marina Sirtis play his partner in that one too :PPP
Deletenevermind, it was Richard Chamberlain. The beards must have confused me
Deletehe he Chamberlain and Patrick Swayze played the characters on film and TV and Sean Connery too in LOTEG
DeleteBetween Sam and Tom...I choose Tom,at least he looks like my Cilli and can act better than Sam. hope he gets the part
