It seems that years can't do a thing to
Anthony Hopkins since he is busier than ever. Beside playing the famous director in ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE MAKING OF PSYCHO next to
Helen Mirren and
Toni Collette, playing Odin in THOR 2 and Pharotu in ARABIAN NIGHTS (with
Liam Hemsworth as Ali Baba and
Dwayne Johnson as Sinbad), he is also playing a famous writer in HEMINGWAY & FUENTES with
Andy Garcia. And now he has signed on to star in
SOLACE EYES, a supernatural thriller in which he will play a doctor with psychic abilities, who hunts down a serial killer.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
One of the projects we've mentioned before,
THE LAST VOYAGE OF
DEMETER, has finally found its director in
Neil Marshall (CENTURION).
According to "The Hollywood Reporter", inspired by Bram Stoker's
DRACULA, the film is set on Demeter, the ship that transported the
vampire from Transylvania to London, except the ship washes up on shore
with only one survivor left. This story tells the tale of that voyage,
where one passenger murdered the ship's crew,
one by one.
Ben Kingsley
was previously mentioned for the lead role. "
MovieWeb" reports that two
brilliant boys
Zachary Quinto and
Topher Grace have joined
Luke Wilson
in
THE INVITATION where
Luke Wilson is invited to his estranged
ex-wife's dinner party. Over the course of the evening, he is gripped by
mounting evidence that something insidious has taken hold of his
ex-wife, and that she and her new friends have a mysterious and
horrifying agenda. By the end of the night, the ramifications of what
happens in this house will spread far beyond its doors.
Again, one of the upcoming comedies that I've mentioned before,
LAST VEGAS has just signed
Robert de Niro, who will join a fellow
Oscar winner
Michael Douglas in the cast. Written by the scribe of TANGLED and directed by famous
John Turteltaub, the movie will follow four old friends who decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single. De Niro will play the party-averse Paddy Connelly, who reluctantly agrees to fly to Vegas at the request of his friends. Douglas will play Billy Gerson, a lifelong bachelor, who has finally decided to take the plunge.
Warren Beaty and
Christopher Walken were mentioned before as possible candidates for the other two roles.

Deletesorry leaving a comment is becoming very diffcult... page refreshed thrice!!! so leaving a comment of reply thread ...
Deletebrilliant post!! love Mr. Hopkins and Robert Di Nero... the invitation sounds very interesting!! thanks for the info....
glad you liked the info today!
DeleteHopkins will continue to act until he dies because he is in one word: Awesome. He manages to make every movie he's in. THanks for the updates. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletebe welcome, hope a nice week is ahead of you too
DeleteLove the cast. Last Vegas one seems to be the keeper:)
ReplyDeleteit should be fun with all the senior actors
DeleteWow, Hopkins is going for it! I can't wait for Thor 2, and the Hitchcock biopic should be pretty awesome too.
ReplyDeleteit should, beside him, it has a very nice cast
DeleteAwesome cast, Robert De Niro is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteglad you like it
DeleteI thought Hopkins had announced once that he was retiring, and yet he's going stronger than ever. He must be having fun. Or he has an ex-wife he owes money to. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm open to believe the second one :)
DeleteOh my gosh, Dez, where do I begin? Topher Grace looks creepy! But the movie still sounds interesting. THE ROCK - yummy! You already know my love for comedies and to have De Niro AND Walken, it's going to be a hit!!
ReplyDeleteI thought he looked handsome with the hood :)
DeleteRock in ARABIAN NIGHTS is still just a rumour. Keeping fingers crossed.
The hood gives him a bad boy look =)
DeleteFingers crossed!!
I'm kinda in love with tha hoods myself, I think I have dozens of hoodies in my wardrobe, even hooded cardigans :)
DeleteDez is my bad boy =))))
Deleteyep, me is all ebil and dangerous :)
DeleteI've always liked Hopkins. He usually does a good job. But he is getting pretty old, he might want to pace himself a bit!
ReplyDeleteI like De Niro too. He can play any kind of role you throw at him. Serious, bad ass, funny! You name it..he can do it! I'm looking forward to Last Vegas!
Hopkins really is old, but not older than Peter O'Toole who is still alive and kicking :)
DeleteTHE LAST VOYAGE OF DEMETER sounds really neat, stinks in the us only major movies make it in the theaters
ReplyDeletethat film has been in preproduction for a long time, hope it will finally get made.
DeleteWow. I want to see every one of the projects you named that Anthony Hopkins is involved in. As far as Topher and Zachary Quinto...I LOVES ME SOME ZACHARY QUINTO BABY!!! Hells yeah! He's darn close to my favorite actor (DESPITE not being blond). Sometimes ya just gotta go with pure talent (looks aside).
ReplyDeleteyep, he's not blond, but he sure is gorgeous :) And has some naughty charisma we like about him.
DeleteNot sure where Hopkins gets all the energy from but he is still putting out more films then most people half his age and they are usually good too. Last Vegas should be fun, but you never know.
ReplyDeleteit's true, a lot of older actors are having some kind of revival right now... which is very nice.
DeleteYeah works for me as well. As they aren't some stupid looking Twilight pretty mood that needs a good smack upside the head.
DeleteOh, how we would enjoy smacking Twilight and Harry Plopper brats...
DeleteMight get thrown in jail though, so better wear a mask or get your penguins to do the dirty work.
Deletewe shall put a black stocking over our heads...
DeleteA. Hopkins sure is one busy actor ~
ReplyDeleteThe Invitation tidbit looks interesting ~
Have a good day Dez ~
glad you liked those pieces of info, Heaven
DeleteThe old geezers still have what it takes!
ReplyDeleteAnd P.S. Dez, I hope you're feeling better every day after your hospital adventure.
thanks, I felt good immediately after the adventure since me is a SuperDezzy :))
DeleteI just asked my mom "who is Anthony Hopkins". She then called me a disgrace to society and made me swear never to admit that in public. Too late...
ReplyDeleteLOL I agree with your mother on this one
DeleteWhat?! You're not allowed to do that...
Deleteyes, Jaxy, my dear, we do like you, but you really are a disgrace to society :PPP
DeleteOff course, since you are a general of the Alliance we shall cover this up in public and we shall erase cat since he is the only one who knows about this shame :)
DeleteLOL I do know and am very familiar with Robert Dinero. Does that count for bonus points? Thank goodness for the alliance!
DeleteLOL no you get no bonus points what so ever. Especially being an alliance stooge..lol
DeleteDinero? Haven't heard of that one :P
DeleteMichael Douglas, Robert deNiro and Christopher Walken? I'm there!
ReplyDeleteLove Topher in that hoodie. Makes him look sexy and intriguing. And Zachary Quinto looks hot no matter what. ;))
Hoodies always look so nice on boys... and we do love Zachary any time.... even in STAR TREK.
DeleteTHE LAST VOYAGE OF DEMETER sounds cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of actors you have here :)
Yep, people didn't like yesterday's softness so I had to go classic today....
DeleteI am quite looking forward to seeing what Tony can do in that role!
ReplyDeletehe should be good as almost always
DeleteAnthony Hopkins is one of the best. I like his The World's Fastest Indian, but most people I've asked have never seen it. I hope De Niro doesn't make too much fun of his career.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the title, but have no idea what the film is about. Is it from last century? :P
DeleteIt's funny that I like De Niro only in comedy roles.
DeNiro and Douglas, have they worked together before?
ReplyDeleteI've no idea, Lurk
DeleteThe Hubby said that the transformation of Hopkins into Hitchcock is incredible and I do want to see this film. I'm not really interested in The Invitation, but Zachary is so nice to look at. His eyes we're meant to be bathed in. Last Vegas looks brilliant to me. Just having those seasoned actors play roles that reflect their age and be comfortable with it, will be a refreshing change from youth obsessed Hollywood
ReplyDeleteyep, a pic of him as Hitchcock was published a month or so ago and there's no difference between the two of them.
DeleteHope you are fine darling!
Love all those guys, great actors.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear that
DeleteAnthony Hopkins is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd like to see a new moive DeNero and Christopher Walken!
he really is
DeleteSolace eyes sounds nice...i am a sucker for supernatural thriller (I am still waiting impatiently for Red Lights)
ReplyDeleteglad you liked that one
Deleteoooh! i'm loving the pics especially today! hopkins is soooo amazing! i'm glad he's still getting lead roles! and the luke wilson (sigh) one might be interesting... but that pic of denero is FAB! later sweet pea!
ReplyDeleteI knew people would like the pics today :)
