Set in and around California, the film revolves around four lifelong friends who read 50 Shades of Grey in their monthly book club and have their lives changed forever.

Milana Vayntrub will play Doreen Green aka Squirrel Girl. Doreen is a totally empowered fangirl who has the incredible powers of a … squirrel. Her greatest quality is her optimism and her best friend is a pet squirrel, Tippy Toe. Derek Theler is Craig Hollis aka Mister Immortal. Craig can’t die … or so he says. Although Craig’s superpower seems amazing, he hasn’t made use of it at all – he figures if he has all the time in the world to learn how to do anything heroic, what’s the rush?

JOINS 'FLATLINERS' REMAKE

Definitely one of our most beloved TV faces this year, uber dashing and ultra charismatic British thespian James Norton is on fire after WAR AND PEACE and beside scoring a role in the remake of FLATLINERS sf movie alongside Diego Luna and Nina Dobrev (about a group of young doctors who conduct near death experiments with dark consequence), he will also join Lesley Manville, Diane Keaton, Brendan Gleeson in

HAMPSTEAD  
 It is a part of London famous as quiet countryside in the middle of the city. Living there is American widow Emily Walters (Diane Keaton), who can’t quite focus on the things that need attention, like her lovely old apartment, her finances and even her son. One day while looking out from her attic window, she spies a ramshackle hut, which appears to be inhabited by an unkempt man Donald (Brendan Gleeson). She witnesses him being attacked by a group of professional thugs. Shocked, she calls the police and watches, through her binoculars, as help arrives. The next day she ventures into the woods in search of the man. Donald has lived quietly and harmoniously there for 17 years but now his lifestyle is under threat – his home is the target of property developers who’ve started using heavy-handed tactics to remove him.

'LIGHT BETWEEN THE OCEANS'

NEW TRAILER WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER, RACHEL WEIS AND ALICIA VIKANDER

Earlier last winter we were left quite stunned by the first trailer for Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander drama THE LIGHT BETWEEN THE OCEANS and now comes the second one equally mesmerizing! Out this September it set after the World War One, following Tom Sherbourne and his wife Isabel who live on a remote island in Western Australia, where they discover a shipwrecked boat with a dead man and a baby girl! Having always dreamt of having a baby, they decide to raise the baby as their own, until suddenly a woman (Rachel Weisz) appears claiming to be her mother!

RACHEL WEISZ TO REPLACE KATE WINSLET IN QUEEN ANNE MOVIE 'THE FAVOURITE' WITH EMMA STONE, OLIVIA COLMAN! NEW 'LOVE THE COOPERS' TRAILER WITH DIANE KEATON, JOHN GOODMAN, AMANDA SEYFRIED, OLIVIA WILDE

RACHEL WEISZ TO VISIT 

QUEEN ANNE'S COURT AS 'THE FAVOURITE' OF THE MONARCH

Although only a brief time ago I've reported that Kate Winslet will star in Yorgos Lanthimos period set drama THE FAVOURITE, it seems that after she accepted the role in WW2 movie THE LIVES OF LEE MILLER, her role might go to Rachel Weisz who already worked with the director on THE LOBSTER. She would play countess Sarah, THE FAVOURITE confidante of Olivia Colman's Queen Anne while Emma Stone would be an impoverished, distant relative of Sarah, who gains a position at court tending to the Queen! Weisz already has another period set movie MY COUSIN RACHEL among her future projects.

THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE  
The movie follows the political machinations and the fight for influence at the court, behind the scenes during the reign of Queen Anne, the last monarch of the House of Stuarts, taking place between the end of the 17th century and first years of the 18th century!

CONN IGGULDEN'S 'EMPEROR' 

 CAESAR NOVELS TO BE ADAPTED

Two book adaptations today, starting with the news coming from 'Deadline' on Conn Iggulden's famous EMPEROR novels being bought by Summit Entertainment for big screen adaptation as a trilogy about the rise of Julius Caesar and his best friend and eventual mortal enemy Marcus Brutus. EMPEROR will be based on Iggulden's 'The Gates Of Rome' and 'The Field Of Swords' — that establish the relationship between Caesar and Marcus from boyhood. The books cover their rise to the top of the Roman Empire, and the political and romantic entanglements that culminate in the Roman Senate. The final novel covers the revenge taken on Caesar’s murderers by Octavius and Mark Antony. In the first film, Julius and Marcus bond at boyhood and grow into warriors who become politically ambitious and powerful enough to be regarded as threats by the establishment.

'EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING' 

TO BECOME A MOVIE AT MGM
The second one is coming from my publisher who just nabbed the rights for my country and MGM who will turn Nicola Yoon's EVERYTHING EVERYTHING hit YA novel into a movie written by J. Mills Goodloe who earlier this year wrote brilliant AGE OF ADALINE! The book which is out next week and has already been sold in 21 countries, follows Maddy, a teen who has severe combined immunodeficiency, a rare disease that causes her to be allergic to practically everything. She’s spent 17 years hiding out in her home, only seeing her mother and her nurse, Carla. But when a boy named Olly moves in next door, Maddy begins to fall in love. The story is told through vignettes, diary entries, texts, charts, lists, illustrations...

'LOVE THE COOPERS' TRAILER

OLIVIA WILDE, DIANE KEATON, ED HELMS, AMANDA SEYFRIED

And your trailer for today is for new star studded family comedy  arriving into cinemas this November.

Diane Keaton and John Goodman are the parents. Olivia Wilde's Eleanor has been having trouble finding the right guy, so she coerces a soldier (Jake Lacy) to pretend to be her boyfriend for just one night. Her sister Emma (Marisa Tomei) is searching for the perfect gift, although she seems to have issues with shoplifting. Their brother Hank (Ed Helms) is a single dad, who is trying to get his daughter to break a hilariously inappropriate habit. Amanda Seyfried is their fourth child.
