Speaking of period set projects, check out the first photos from Apple's half hour 1800s set comedy series DICKINSON showing Hailee Steinfeld as the famous poet Emily Dickinson!

You can see this from one of the photos in which she is dressed as a boy and in one where she is smoking a cigar outside her elite school for girls. The cast also includes Toby Huss as her father Edward Dickinson, Jane Krakowski as her mother, Anna Baryshnikov as her younger sister Lavinia, Ella Hunt as her best friend Sue Gilbert, and Adrian Blake Enscoe as Emily's brother Austin.

DICKINSON
will be set in the 1800's during Emily Dickinson’s era with a modern sensibility and tone. It takes viewers into the world of Emily audaciously exploring the constraints of society, gender, and family from the perspective of a budding writer who doesn’t fit in to her own time through her imaginative point of view. Dickinson is Emily’s coming of age story – one woman’s fight to get her voice heard. The series will join two sf series from Ronald D. Moore and Steven Knight that I've announced earlier!

MARION COTILLARD, VINCENT CASSEL AND LEA SEYDOUX

It seems that Lea Seydoux and Vincent Cassel will star together again after BEAUTY AND THE BEAST since they've been just cast in last year's Cannes winner Xavier Dolan's new movie IT'S ONLY THE END OF THE WORLD! Rounding up the stellar cast are Marion Cotillard and Gaspard Ulliel. As 'Deadline' reports, the movie follows a writer who, after 12 years of absence, goes back to his hometown, planning on announcing his upcoming death to his family. As resentment soon rewrites the course of the afternoon, fits and feuds unfold, fuelled by loneliness and doubt, while all attempts of empathy are sabotaged by people’s incapacity to listen, and love.

HAILEE STEINFELD 

TO LEAD 'BREAK MY HEART 1,000 TIMES' MOVIE ADAPTATION!
Yet another movie adaptation of a YA book will be the big screen version of  Daniel Water's BREAK MY HEART 1,000 TIMES which is going to star Hailee Steinfeld in the lead role. Described as a mix of 'The Fault In Our Stars' and 'The Sixth Sense' it is set after a cataclysmic event that has torn the barrier between our world and the next, leaving ‘Remnants’, ghost-like essences of the deceased, part of everyday life. After years of quiet coexistence with the living, a Remnant sends a threatening message to a young girl, propelling her on a mission with consequences that will forever change the course of her life. Scott Speer (STEP UP REVOLUTION) is directing!

Caine plays Fred, an acclaimed composer and conductor and Keitel is Mick, a renowned filmmaker. While Mick scrambles to finish the screenplay for what he imagines will be his last important film, Fred has no intention of resuming his musical career. The two men reflect on their past, each finding that some of the most significant experiences can come later in life. Rachel Weisz, Jane Fonda and Paul Dano also star!

HAILEE STEINFELD TO EXPLORE

THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

One of the youngest Oscar nominees, lovely Hailee Steinfeld will explore THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT according to 'Deadline'! The ROMEO AND JULIET and ENDER'S GAME star will topline the big screen adaptation of last year’s YA novel by Jennifer E. Smith, in which the story follows Hadley (Hailee Steinfeld) over a 24-hour period. What first looks like a rotten day as she waits in an airport for a flight to London for her father’s second wedding brightens up when she meets a young British chap. Turns out they’re seated together, and sparks fly.

JASON BATEMAN TO SELL

HIMSELF IN 'IPO MAN' MOVIE
Meanwhile, another lovely face, Jason Bateman will both direct and star in IPO MAN, an adaptation of Meet The Man Who Sold His Fate To Investors At $1 A Share, a 'Wired magazine' article about a man who found a novel commodity for a public offering: himself. He sold about 900 shares of himself out of 10,000 in total to friends and other people. It created a host of problems for the actual guy, Mike Merrill, when shareholders demanded control over life decisions like whether to have a vasectomy or even whether he should move in with his longtime girlfriend (and minority shareholder).

'EX MACHINA' SF TRAILER

THERE IS NOTHING MORE HUMAN THAN THE WILL TO SURVIVE

Here's a sf trailer for you today: EX MACHINA will arrive next April following Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet search giant, who wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan's latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated, seductive - and more deceptive - than the two men could have imagined. Isaac and Gleeson both star in upcoming new STAR WARS movie too!
