ELIZABETH OLSEN TO PLAY
SCARLET WITCH IN AVENGERS II?
According to latest rumours Saoirse Ronan has passed on the role of Scarlet Witch in THE AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON and the frontrunner for the role has now become Elizabeth Olsen! Joss Whedon
has previously revealed that he has imagined the role of Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch with Saoirse in mind. Scarlet Witch can control probabilities while her twin brother Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver has the power of superspeed. Aaron Johnson is rumoured for that role. The film, which will see the return of Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Rufallo and others, will start shooting next February. After a number of dramatic roles, Elizabeth Olsen is moving over to blockbusters starting next year with GODZILLA in which she already stars with Aaron Johnson!
HAYLEY ATWELL JOINS
KENNETH BRANAGH'S 'CINDERELLA'
Kenneth Branagh's movie adaptation of fairy tale CINDERELLA has another cast member: Hayley Atwell will play Cinderella's mother who appears at the beginning of the
film. She joins Lily James in the lead
role, Cate Blanchett as the stepmother, Richard Madden as the prince,
Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother, Holly Grainger and Sophie
McShera as the stepsisters, Stellan Skarsgard as the Grand Duke.
MARION COTILLARD JOINS MICHAEL FASS- BENDER IN 'MACBETH'
Good news also come from the new adaptation of MACKBETH! It seems that Michael Fassbender, who is taking the lead role in the Justin Kurzel directed movie, will get a decent wife in the film. Instead of the previous horrid choice of weak and bland Natalie Portman, the role of lady Macbeth will go to Marion Cotillard! The film will be set in war torn 11th century Scotland.

I still find it interesting that Chris Evans is both Johnny Storm and Steve Rogers. As far as Elizabeth Olsen goes, I'm okay with that choice. It's nice to have a relative unknown in a role sometimes, without expectations from their previous work.
ReplyDeletewell, Chrissy was born to be a superhero :) One of my all time faves....
DeleteCan't say I've seen any of her work but, at a glance, Olsen seems to have the right look for Scarlet Witch. As for Cotillard, I think she'd make a killer Lady Macbeth. I have nothing against Portman, but she would have been an entirely wrong choice for the role.
ReplyDeleteshe mostly played in dramas, a talented girl they say... she recently shot THERESE RAQUIN here in my country.
DeleteI gave up on Mackbeth when they cast UnImportant Natalie, but now I'm excited again with Marion, although if you ask me Cate Blanchett would've been the best choice :)
I can't imagine anyone turning down a chance to work with Joss Whedon - crazy!!
ReplyDeleteshe probably had scheduling conflicts :)
DeleteI love WWII period Movies, and the THE BOOK THIEF sounds great.
ReplyDeleteit will be one of those rare films we fall in love with and remember forever! My fave genre!
DeleteOh, Marion Cotillard is a terrific choice to play opposite Michael Fassbender. Happy, happy, happy dance. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd The Book Thief looks wonderful. Such a great book.
yes, my heart is settled and calmed finally, Fass My Benders will have a decent partner...
DeleteI wanted to translate BOOK THIEF but the rival publisher already nabbed it :(
Marion Cotillard... my, my, my, my, my... my!
ReplyDeleteshhhh, no secret crushing on her... though her last scene the dark knight rises was interesting and now we know why the dark knight rises... wow i think i made this post a little blue, i am sorry. i will go stand in the corner for an hour.
boys do love Marion and my choice of her pics....
DeleteAnd you do know we will now hunt you down and cover you in tar and feathers for mentioning that atrocious movie, which title is forbidden here by law!
She could be a damn nice.....looking....witch!
ReplyDeleteshe ain't playing those three lovely witches (ever my fave Shakespeare's characters) but the crazy wife :) but I hope the witches appear in the film too!

ReplyDeleteit is a wonderful one, isn't it? LIFE OF PI was also magnificent, one of the very few of the recent movies which kept my attention from the start to the end!
DeleteMacbeth with Marion and Michael? Count me in. And for The Book Thief as well. What a wonderful - albeit sad - story.
