A few days ago I reported that Irish thespian
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is about to take the lead role in NBC's epic series DRACULA, and there are now news that he will take a role in the movie adaptation of fantasy saga
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS. In the story about a girl (to be played by MIRROR MIRROR's
Lilly Collins) who finds out that she is the descendant of half-angel warriors called Shadowhunters and joins the battle against demons, Rhys Meyers will play Valentine Morgenstern, a powerful Shadowhunter looking to purify the world at any cost.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Another hunk that my ladies like,
Ryan Reynolds has added another less ambitious project to his future gigs: according to "Deadline" he will
star in
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, as a dad whose daughter is abducted, and then years later he discovers a series of clues that leads him to believe the girl is still alive. The film will be directed by Atom Egoyan.
Meanwhile, the Brits are preparing animated adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's story
IVAN THE FOOL.
Vanessa Redgrave, Edd Stoppard, Timothy Dalton and
Michael Gambon will lend voices in the story about Ivan, the constant object of ridicule, bullied by all those around him. Though various twists of fate, Ivan, good natured and generous stumbles upon unexpected good fortune and those who once ridiculed him must now rely upon Ivan for their own success and survival. Stylishly animated film will tell the story of the triumph of virtue.
PLAYING FOR KEEPS
And here's the long awaited trailer for delightful romantic comedy
PLAYING FOR KEEPS which will hit cinemas this December with a
rather stellar cast lead by
Gerard Butler and
Catherine Zeta Jones. The Scottish star plays a former professional athlete with a weak past and an irresponsible, deadbeat dad who tries to redeem himself by coaching his son's soccer team, only to find himself unable to resist when in scoring position with his players' restless and gorgeous moms. The cast also includes
Uma Thurman, Jessica Biel, Dennis Quaid... The estimated budget of the film was $35 million. You might wanna enjoy this one, because the rest of Gerard's future films are pure action and no romance.

Don't slap me me Dezzy...but I think I'm digging Ryan right about now...I know you're a big fan of Gerard Butler but my goodness, nom nom nom, that poster is just too yummy!!! =PPP
ReplyDeleteSure, sure, the movie Butler is in is the just the type of movie I adore...but, those abs on Ryan...whew!! he he he
Seriously though, the movie trailer for Playing For Keeps looks very, very good. Especially with him focusing on action flicks as of late. I love when actors have the ability to show different sides of their personality and can do it well.
I have more pics of Ryan's abs, actually all his pictures show his abs :) Will have what to post with the next piece of news about him :)
DeleteWe do like the trailer, especially since my dearest Cathy is there :)
I won't complain if you post more pictures of those beautiful abs of his!!
DeleteI like Cathy too - she seems like the type of person who would be just as sweet off camera too =)
Ryan does look good there, but I will never betray Gerard for him. Gerard is about to take Bruce's place as my number 1.
DeleteSay it isn't so, Anne!!! I think Bruce is getting sexier and sexier the older he gets...
Delete@Elsie
DeleteI have so many naked pics of Ryan that I sometimes feel a strange guilt when I take a non revealing pic of his in order to put it here, and I often go back to the sexy ones and post them :)
@Annzie
Deletehe does look amazing with this wavy hairdo... I know ladies love us men either bald or with wavy hair :)
Elsie I will always adore Bruce, but I think what I'll have to do is think about a threesome. I do love Bruce bald and when the Hubby went bald, he got sexier.
DeleteDarling you know I always found Yule Brenner to be sexy as hell and Patrick Stewart-nom nom nom
Dezzy, I just read your comment three times...naked Ryan! mmmm mmmm mmmm!!! You have my email 'nuf said on that =P
DeleteAnne, that is exactly what I think! Bruce looks so much better bald! Why is that?? Same thing with Statham!! Oh and a guy you guys don't know, but holy yummy, David Dramain from Disturbed *sigh*
@Annzie
Deletewhat? Me is not on the list next to Yul and Bruce? :P
@Elsie
Deletehis nakedness will appear here from time to time, every chance we get :) Ladies always react so nicely on him.... wonder why :P
Oh, how could we forget Statham!
Gerard Butler, less romance, more action!
ReplyDeleteLOL, he will fulfil your wishes, since he has about five future films which are all action and crime.....
DeleteFive films with Gerard, ooh my day has been made!
Deletethat's not nocturnal action films, Annzie, just to be clear :P
Deletemore action... less lov-e-dov-e... i agree with the lurker.
ReplyDeletepfft, you lurkers and zombies are the same... :P
Delete"Playing for Keeps": looks good!
ReplyDeleteromance and humour, that's right?
a perfect Hollywood movie!
we do need some romance and humour in today's dark world....
DeleteYou're right!
Deletelike we need Fantasy! always the Good wins against the Mal!
it was not a critic or something sarcastic!
yep, we do love fantasy too, especially the epic one :)
DeleteI know you weren't sarcastic, Samwise :)
Oh Ryan...party at my house tonight. Please just wear that. Don't be late.
ReplyDeletewell he might as well undress before he comes....
Delete"Playing for Keeps" looks pretty predictable but Gerard Butler looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeletewe do love his image in the film
DeleteNice hunky manfest on the blog today, Dez. :))
ReplyDeleteI've thought of calling this a ladies day :)
DeleteI prefer Gerry as all action and in more than just movies. ;P
ReplyDeleteAnyway...I'm so bad...Playing for Keeps looks cute. Can't wait for JRM's newest flick and series. I love that Irishman.
thank the Lord Almighty for all the Irishmen and Scotsmen he gave us :)
Deletethey are the finest men this side of heaven.
Deleteamen
DeleteI agree with you both. What great men. :)
Deleteamen again :)
DeleteI've missed stopping by your place. Thanks for the heads up on the new flick, Playing for Keeps. Looks like a great feel-good movie for the holidays.
ReplyDeletehey, Kathi, miss you too! Hope all is fine in the world of crime fiction and thrillers :)
DeleteOh but you've done well for your ladies today darling. Such nice beefcake today and for women of all kinds.
ReplyDeleteJRM on the telly and in a movie-now that's a sandwich I'd like to be in the middle of.
Gerard gets better looking as he ages I think. So much more character on that masculine face of his. He is the epitome of all things male.
yep, I was catering for my ladies today :) And my boys can stare at those two girls in the banner above :)
DeleteI think Gerry would know how to handle an Irishwoman, Annzie.
I fit perfectly with Scotsman. My dear departed Bobby was a Scot and the Hubby is third generation Scot. These men have so much fire in them and they can handle my moods and my temper just fine.
Deletethe same goes for Serbian men, darling :)
DeleteJonathan Rhys Meyers looks a little like a young Johnny Depp in that shot. Yum!
ReplyDeleteit's one of my fave photoshoots of his, it's for Reply methinks or one of the jeans labels.
DeleteRyan, you looking good
ReplyDeleteindeed
DeleteWell, I won't be seeing this one. As a rabid soccer hater (lol), I would probably sleep through it.
ReplyDeleteThe Dracula series does look promising. I wish I knew what the next fad was after zombies, vamps and werewolves.
I can't stand soccer either, Jerry! But you can't possible sleep through a film with Zeta Jones :)
DeleteProbably mutants, or possibly goblins :) I wish it was angels. Good angels.
I don't think I'll be seeing any of these. I don't think my girlfriend likes any of them in particular.
ReplyDeletebetter luck next time, Damien!
DeleteGerard Butler AND Catherine Zeta Jones?? Talk about a SMOKING hot cast ;) ;)
ReplyDeletecan't imagine anything hotter :) Ok, me and Justin Timberlake would make a hotter cast, but only us :)
DeleteAn animated adaptation of Tolstoy? Brilliant. And thanks for the hunk parade. ;)
ReplyDeletebe welcome, darling, you can always find a hunk parade here :)
DeleteI need to sit for a moment. That as a lot to take in...and every little bit of it made me happy. I'll be back again later!! Oh myyyyyy!
ReplyDeletebreathe, Mel, breathe :)
DeleteThat was a total one-two punch! I'm still a little dizzy!!
DeleteLOL, there are hunks in today's post too :)
