JUDE LAW, ROSE BYRNE JOIN MELISSA MCCARTHY, JASON STATHAM IN 'SUSAN COOPER'! IDRIS ELBA IS SHERE KHAN IN DISNEY'S LIVE ACTION 'THE JUNGLE BOOK'! RYAN MCPARTLIN JOINS ASHLEY JUDD IN 'SALVATION' SHOW

JUDE LAW JOINS
MELISSA MCCARTHY, JASON STATHAM IN 'SUSAN COOPER'
Well, well, well... Melissa McCarthy's spy comedy SUSAN COOPER is certainly getting more interesting as the casting process goes on: first she was joined two weeks ago by Jason Statham, and now another British heartthrob has been signed too! Jude Law, together with Rose Byrne, will also star in the movie about the adventures of a top female secret agent to be played by McCarthy. Although there are no details on whom Jude and Rose will play, we know that Statham will be her colleague spy  with whom she is unwillingly paired up. To hit cinemas May next year, the film will again see Paul Feig (BRIDESMAIDS, THE HEAT) directing a movie with Melissa. You can watch Jude Law this weekend in THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL movie in cinemas.

RYAN MCPARTLIN JOINS
ASHLEY JUDD IN 'SALVATION'
In television news today, one of our favourite TV faces, hunkylicious Ryan McPartlin (CHUCK, LIVING WITH FRAN) has boarded SALVATION show at NBC! Last week I informed you that another of our beloved stars Ashley Judd will lead the cast in this story about mega-church Pastor Daniel Strickland who suddenly dies, and his loyal wife, Jennifer Strickland (Ashley Judd), must rally to keep their family together and save the church. As 'Deadline' reports, Ryan McPartlin will play Congressman Todd Bishop, an ambitious man whose political life keeps him from home, making him a bit of an absent husband and father. You will also watch McPartlin next week in cinemas with Ryan Kwanten in THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG romantic comedy.

THE JUNGLE BOOK
GETS IDRIS ELBA AS SHERE KHAN!
Meanwhile, Disney has found their first actor for the live action big screen adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's THE JUNGLE BOOK! According to 'Deadline' Idris Elba is in negotiations to lend his voice and do motion capture scenes as dangerous tiger Shere Khan! The motion capture parts will be helmed by AVATAR's Robert Legato while the whole movie is being directed by John Favreau. The movie is set for October 2015 release but Warner Bros. is also planning their own rival version of the story. As you know, the famous story follows an orphan boy Mowgli who is raised in the jungle with the help of a pack of wolves, a bear and a black panther!

  2. The Jungle Book comes back to life. It will be hard to let go of the voices from the original. Phil Harris was great.
