Are you excited about MAD MAX FURY ROAD, the reboot of the famous apocalyptic franchise which starred Mel Gibson? After a rather long delay

 (years are in question), the shooting is finally ready to begin. It is interesting that George Miller, the director, is planning to shoot two films back to back, first FURY ROAD and then FURIOSA, the second one being titled after Charlize Theron's character, a shaved headed one armed warrioress! As you know the lead role this time goes to Tom Hardy who revealed that we shall see a restructuring of the original world using the same character, depositing him in the same world, but bringing him up to date by 30 years. The latest info from Down Under states that gorgeous Rosie Huntington Whiteley, known as the star of THE TRANSFORMERS film and as Jason Statham's fiancee, will play one of Mad Max's five wives in the film. The $100 million movie will also have Nicholas Hoult in the cast.

Here's another movie telling a story of a famous writer. Walt Disney is preparing SAVING MR. BANKS, in which the story will follow

"Mary Poppins" author P.L. Travers (to be played by Emma Thompson), from her early childhood days in early 1900s Queensland, to her experiences in the 1960s, when she was negotiating with Walt Disney (to be played by Tom Hanks) about movie adaptations of her books. "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote this weekend that Colin Farrell might join the cast as the author's father, a banker who started drinking heavily after going through some hard times financially and whose hardships had a profound effect on her writing. 

THE HORDE TRAILER

When it comes to trailers, today you have the honour to check out a visually stunning clip for Russian epic Орда or THE HORDE which hits Russian cinemas this September. Directed by Andrei Proskin, the epic tells the story of the horde, something that brought bloody tragedies and humiliating slavery to so many people around the world. The horde brought with itself a frightening world with its scary rules and oppressions. A man is sent to that world to do what no man has done before. Set in Russia under the Mongol-Tatar

yoke, when the Orthodox nation was under the rule of brutal and warlike nomads of the steppes the film follows a man on a mission to 

save the wife of a powerful khagan who will, in gratitude, decide not to erase the Slavic principalities and cities from the face of the Earth with his horde.

ASIAN SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: SLICK TRAILER FOR "THE TASTE OF MONEY", ENDEARING ONE FOR "STARRY STARRY NIGHT", DYNAMIC ONE FOR JACKIE CHAN'S "CHINESE ZODIAC"

 OK, people, this Sunday HOLLYWOOD SPY is spotlighting a number of interesting, very different Asian films which are hitting cinemas later this year.Some of them are bringing warm fantasy, some hot sex scenes, and some heated action!

 THE TASTE OF MONEY

First something unusual from Asian film world: extremely slick trailer for South Korea's Im Sang Soo's THE TASTE OF MONEY movie. The extremely stylish thriller follows Young-jak , who is a private secretary of madam Paik, the centre power of Korean conglomerate, and who witnesses immoral private issues of her wealthy family.

Meanwhile, he finds out that madam Paik's husband, Mr. Yoon is having affair with their Filipino housemaid, Eva. He reports what he witnessed to madam Paik, and now despaired madam Paik is greedily seducing Young-jak in order to keep him on her side . Young-jak is deeper into madam Paik's family issues when he finds out the brutally killed Eva. Lost between his morality and shortcut to successful life, he has to make the biggest decision he's ever made, to choose whom he will hang on to, in order to survive in this harsh world, where he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

 STARRY STARRY NIGHT

Something quite different from what we are used to seeing in Asian film comes in Tom Lin's STARRY STARRY NIGHT. Something very

warm and magical. Opening this summer at some of Northern American film festivals, the film brings the slightly fantastical tale of Mei, a 13-years old girl trying to deal with growing up, while still escaping to her own fantasy world when real-life problems prove to be too daunting to face. Mei finds a companion in Lee, an introverted young boy who just transferred from another school into Mei's class. When Mei's parents decide on a divorce, Mei runs off with Lee in search of a moment of untainted happiness and maybe even some romance.

 CHINESE ZODIAC

Definitely one of the most anticipated Asian films this year is CHINESE ZODIAC which is very interesting because its lead star Jackie Chan has announced that this will be his last big action packed movie due to

  his age and health, and he apparently wants to dedicate more time to his family. According to "Twitch" the 58-year old actor is the action choreographer, writer, director and producer for the film, and has spent seven years preparing and one year shooting in over ten cities in five countries. It therefore comes as no surprise that Chan called this 'one of the most important films' of his career. The globe-trotting adventure has Chan's character searching for the 12 bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac. The film has a rather interesting premiere date as it is due for release on 12/12/12.

ADAM LEVINE IN "CAN A SONG SAVE YOUR LIFE?" FUN TRAILER FOR ANNA KENDRICK'S "PITCH PERFECT" MUSICAL COMEDY! "SNOW CRASH" NOVEL FILM ADAPTATION!

 Although his band hasn't had a huge hit ever since their first album, Maroon 5's Adam Levine has certainly used his time under the spotlight to gain personal fame, but it seems that music fame isn't enough for him so he is moving onto acting too. Beside scoring a role in AMERICAN HORROR STORY season two, he will now also star in CAN A SONG SAVE YOUR LIFE? He has joined Mark Ruffalo and Hailee Steinfeld in the John Carney directed film. Levine will play a man who moves to New York together with his girlfriend in order to pursue careers in music. After he dumps her for a solo contract, she is discovered in a local bar by Ruffalo's record producer.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES

Now, here's an interesting sf project: Deadline reports that Paramount will work on a film adaptation of Neal Stephenson's

novel SNOW CRASH which was named one of Time Magazine's 100 greatest English-language novels of all time. The story is set in a United States which is now controlled by corporations and the mafia. The plot revolves around a computer virus dubbed Snow Crash, which has the ability to transfer from the computer screen directly into the users, destroying their brains. The protagonist, named Hiro, a computer hacker and pizza delivery guy, steps in to try and stop the utter downfall of human civilization.

PITCH PERFECT

And here's something fun and relaxing for the weekend: the first trailer for musical comedy PITCH PERFECT which is ready to open up in cinemas later this October. The story of this comedy follows a college misfit who doesn't fit in with any of the school's social cliques. She ends up realizing a hidden singing talent, and is recruited into a singing group that battles other rival a Capella groups. The cast of the film is lead by Anna Kendrick and also includes hilarious Rebel Wilson and Brittany Snow.

TEASER FOR ANG LEE'S "LIFE OF PI"! SPECTACULAR TRAILER FOR MILLA JOVOVICH'S "RESIDENT EVIL RETRIBUTION"! CHARLIZE THERON IN JOHN MADDEN'S "MURDER MYSTERY"

Irrfan Khan, this coming-of-age survival tale revolves around a boy who is the lone survivor of a sunken freighter and winds up sharing a lifeboat with a hyena, an injured zebra, an orangutan and a hungry Bengal tiger.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES

One of our favourite directors John Madden (whose recent THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL with Judi Dench earned stunning $100 million around the world) is going to direct MURDER MYSTERY which is being described as an, "affectionate deconstruction" of an Agatha Christie-style whodunit, which centres on an American couple travelling overseas. "Deadline" reports that Charlize Theron, who is currently at the peak of her career, is negotiating about taking the lead role! 

RESIDENT EVIL RETRIBUTION

The second clip for today is a new trailer for sf action RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION a new part in the saga which has been earning more money with each new instalment. Milla Jovovich again plays Alice, alongsdie

Michelle Rodriguez, Boris Kodjoe, and Sienna Guillory from the old cast along with new additions Bingbing Li and Johann Urb. Kevin Durand and Oded Fehr are also starring. The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, Alice, awakens in the heart of Umbrella's most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culmi-

nating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

To be published later this Autumn, the book will have four parts and will have the story set in 1920s New York City and following a group of people who must use their amazing gifts to stop a rash of occult-based murders which have rattled the city.

Another fantasy story will be seen in THE STUFF OF LEGENDS.

(Jude Law) becomes bent upon taking over the world by inspiring fear in the hearts of kids everywhere, a group of our greatest heroes - Santa (Alec Baldwin), the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), the Sandman and Jack Frost (Chris Pine) - band

CHRIS HEMSWORTH "IN THE HEART OF THE SEA"! ZIYI ZHANG JOINS HENRY CAVILL IN "THE GREAT WALL" EPIC! "METHUSELAH" ADVENTURE FILM! TRAILER FOR WW2 FILM "WAR OF THE BUTTONS"

 He is now everybody's favourite huntsman and also everybody's favourite Thor, and will now move straight onto the sea: according to "MovieWeb" Chris Hemsworth has boarded IN THE HEART OF THE SEA which will be an adventurous period set movie adaptation of Nathanial Philbrick's non-fiction book of the same name in which the story revolves around a Nantucket whaling ship which was destroyed by a sperm whale in 1820. Only eight crew members were rescued alive, after being lost at sea for 90 days. This real event actually inspired Herman Melville to write his  famous novel "Moby Dick". Barry Levinson and Edward Zwick have been mentioned as possible directors.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES

Only two days ago I've told you that Henry Cavill and Benjamin Walker will star in Edward Zwick's supernatural adventure THE GREAT WALL and now, according to "Deadline" it seems that controversial Chinese star Ziyi Zhang is being courted for a female role in the film set in 15th century China and following British warriors who

happen upon the hurried construction of the massive wall. As night falls, the warriors realize that the haste in building the wall isn't just to keep out the Mongols - there is something inhuman and more dangerous. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. is preparing METHUSELAH, an action adventure film about a 1,000-year-old man who has spent his time on the planet to build an unparalleled set of skills for survival.

Your trailer for today is for a touching drama which The Weinstein Company is ready to release in cinemas this July. WAR OF THE BUTTONS  is  set in occupied WWII France and  tells the tale of

 pre-teen rebel Lebrac (newcomer Jean Texier) and the "war" he leads between two rival kid gangs from neighboring villages. Once Lebrac falls for Violette (Ilona Bachelier), a young Jewish girl who is new in town and in danger of being exposed by the Nazis, the children are faced with putting their own conflicts aside to protect her and confront the very real war happening around them. Directed by Academy Award nominee Christophe Barratier ("The Chorus") WAR OF THE BUTTONS features model/actress Laetitia Casta ("Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life", "Arbitrage"), actor/filmmaker Guillaume Canet ("Farewell", "Tell No One") and "Welcome to the Sticks" star Kad Merad. The film is produced and co-written by Thomas Langmann (Academy Award winner for "The Artist").

Sorry for today's post being a bit late, we had a horrid storm yesterday in my city and a total power cut prevented me from accessing the net!

ZACHARY LEVI IS FANDRAL IN "THOR 2"? JULIANNE MOORE TO BE RUSSELL CROW'S WIFE IN "NOAH"! TRAILER FOR "360" WITH ANTHONY HOPKINS, JUDE LAW, RACHEL WEISZ

I'm sure that most of you adore always charming Zachary Levi but I don't know if you knew that one of his biggest wishes has always been to play a superhero. You might even remember that before Henry Cavill got the Superman role in MAN OF STEEL, Zachary expressed his wish to play the caped hero. But now, according to "Collider" he might just end up with some super powers. Since amazing Josh Dallas won't be able to return to THOR 2 due to his commitments on ONCE UPON A TIME hit show, Zachary Levi has been sent and invite from Marvel to replace him in the role of Fandral and thus join the Asgardian van-

guard.  He would then become one of the Warriors Three together with Ray Stevenson as Volstagg and Tadanobu Asano as Hogun who are both returning to their roles from the first film. Levi was actually offered the Fandral role back in 2010 but he was tied to CHUCK show and the role passed on to Stuart Townsend who then left it to Josh Dallas. GAME OF THRONES helmer Alan Taylor is ready to direct THOR 2 this summer with Chris Hemsworth returning to the lead role of the Asguardian god, Anthony Hopkins playing his father the king of Gods and Mads Mikkelsen joining them as the new villain.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES

Just last week I've told you that two great young stars Douglas Booth (ROMEO AND JULIET, GREAT EXPECTATIONS) and Logan Lerman (PERCY JACKSON, THE THREE MUSKETEERS) have joined Darren Aronofsky's gritty epic tale NOAH, a very sf version of the

famous Biblical story in which the lead role will be portrayed by Russell Crowe, and now the latest news is that Julianne Moore is negotiating to take the role of Noah's wife Naameth which was previously rumoured for that bland chick Jennifer Connelly. Booth and Lerman will play Noah's sons, while Liev Schreiber is rumoured for the role of Noah's main antagonist.

360 TRAILER

And here's a long anticipated trailer for unusual drama by Oscar nominated director Fernando Meirelles (THE CONSTANT GARDENER). Titled 360, the film will open in cinemas this August featuring a rather

stunning cast lead by Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins, Oscar Nominee Jude Law, Oscar winner Rachel Weisz and young Ben Foster.  Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's classic "La Ronde", screenwriter Peter Morgan and director Fernando Meirelles' 360 combines a modern and dynamic roundelay of stories into one, linking characters from different cities and countries in a vivid, suspenseful and deeply moving tale of love in the 21st century. Starting in Vienna, the film beautifully weaves through Paris, London, Bratislava, Rio, Denver and Phoenix into a single, mesmerizing narrative.

HENRY CAVILL & BENJAMIN WALKER IN "THE GREAT WALL" EPIC MYSTERY! ABBIE CORNISH & SAMUEL L. JACKSON JOIN JOEL KINNAMAN & GARY OLDMAN IN "ROBOCOP"! ACTION EPIC ON SIR ISAAC NEWTON?

You know that HOLLYWOOD SPY was one of the very first sites to support and promote amazing British star Henry Cavill even before he got his big gigs in IMMORTALS and MAN OF STEEL, so one of our most anticipated 

future projects is THE GREAT WALL. Henry has gotten the role in this film last year, but now "Collider" reports that Benjamin Walker (ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER) has taken the second lead role beating Alexander Skarsgard (TRUE BLOOD) to it (I personally think Alexander would've been a better choice). The period pic explores “the mysteries” behind the construction of The Great Wall in China, and apparently involves some inhuman element that the builders of the wall are trying to keep out. Cavill and Walker will play 15th century British soldiers who stumble upon the construction of the wall,

and presumably get caught up in the havoc that this supernatural presence brings. The film is being helmed by famous Edward Zwick (LEGENDS OF THE FALL, THE LAST SAMURAI).

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES

You already know that TV star Joel Kinnaman (THE KILLING) will play the lead role in the remake of the famous ROBOCOP film from the 80's and Gary Oldman will play the scientist who creates the enhanced robot version of an ordinary cop. According to latest news,

Samuel L. Jackson is now in talks to take the role of a charismatic TV mogul and a powerful force in the Robocop world while Abbie Cornish could take the role of Kinnaman's wife who thinks she is a widow and doesn't know he was turned into a ROBOCOP. The shooting should start this September.

According to "Collider" producers Rob Cohen ("The Fast and the Furious") and Gene Kirkwood ("Rocky") are looking to turn the life of Sir ISAAC NEWTON into an action film for the new studio BiteSize

Entertainment, which was unveiled during the Cannes Film Festival this year. Although we mostly know the famous scientist for his work describing universal gravitation and the three laws of motion (and apocryphally as the man who had an apple fall on his head that lead to these discoveries), a less known fact about Sir Isaac Newton is that he worked both as chief detective and head of the British Mint, a position the famous scientist held for the last 30 years of his life. The film will turn the famous 17th century mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian into an action warrior.

HOLLYWOOD SPY'S EXCLUSIVE SPOTLIGHT ON STARZ' FUTURE SHOWS: EXOTIC "HAREM", EPIC "MARCO POLO", ADVENTUROUS "DA VINCI'S DEMONS", PIRATE SET "BLACK SAILS"

Well, you know by now that Starz is one of HOLLYWOOD SPY's favourite channels. They know that we love epic adventure and they give it to us in their shows,

mostly in the amazing SPARTACUS saga which is getting it's third and final season next year. But what are some other Starz' series coming up in the future?

SULEY MAN'S HAREM

Definitely the most interesting of the upcoming Starz' projects, at least if you ask HOLLYWOOD SPY, is HAREM mini series which will be putting its lens on the Ottoman Empire. In cooperation with BBC Worldwide Productions they are developing a potential six-hour miniseries exploring the reign of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent and the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire. Based on an idea by actress Gina Gershon, the series will probably be penned by "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe" scribe Ann Peacock. HAREM will tell the story of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, the longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire who reconstructed its legal system and presided over the fleet's annexation of most of the Middle East. He was also a tyrant who enslaved half of Europe with fear and sword. The story would also revolve around Roxelana, a beautiful young slave girl from Ukraine whose ambitions knew no bounds and whose marriage to Suleyman

 kicked off what became known as the "Reign of Women" when she became a sultana. It is interesting that the topic of the six hour series has already been covered in extremely lavish Turkish MAGNIFICENT CENTURY soap opera, which has had four seasons so far and has become a huge TV hit around the Balkans.

DA VINCI'S DEMONS

An exciting and entertaining mix of a futuristic mind and medieval setting will be seen in DA VINCI'S DEMONS. Young Brit star Tom Riley (MONROE and LOST IN AUSTEN) will be playing the brash and brilliant 25 year old artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist Leonardo da Vinci during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. He is described as being the Renaissance version of our 

modern day Tony Stark as he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time and begins to see and invent the future. So a man with lots of modern gadgets living in an old  century. Drop dead gorgeous Laura Haddock (UPSTAIRS DOWN STAIRS, THE PALACE) will take the lead female role of Lucrezia Donati, the mistress of Lorenzo Medici and lover of da Vinci.

MARCO POLO

Another epic show next year at Starz will be on famous 13th century explorer MARCO POLO in the form of a fantastical martial arts epic,

 chronicling the famous adventurer's early years in the court of Kublai Khan. Acting as the ruler's spy, ambassador and explorer, Marco treks across the Far East and returns with tales of his journeys. In a court filled with political betrayal and forbidden relationships, Marco must use his martial arts training to survive, but it is his ability to enchant Khan with imaginative tales of his kingdom that is often his best tool to stay alive. Wowza, sounds totally like my cup of tea! It will be produced by the Weinstein company and written and created by John Fusco (HIDALGO)! The show should have about ten episodes and we are patiently waiting to hear the first casting news!

 BLACK SAILS

In the sea of new pirate shows  (you remember that NBC is preparing REPUBLIC OF PIRATES, Sky is preparing SINBAD, and Fox is doing PORT ROYALE) Starz will offer us BLACK SAILS to be produced by famous Michael Bay for airing in 8 episodes in 2014. They're already preparing the 8 episode show set 20 years before the events in Robert Louis Stevenson’s "Treasure Island" and chronicling the adventures of Captain Flint, a smooth, fast talking pirate who’ll have a new member of his crew – John Silver. Together, they will fight for New Providence Island. The island is something of a paradise for society’s underbelly. It’s filled with thieves, prostitutes, fortune seekers, and of course, pirates. SPARTACUS  

creator, Steven DeKnight has recently revealed that he had the honour to read BLACK SAILS pilot and that he loved it so much that he is kicking himself for not coming up with it himself.

NEW PICS FROM KARL URBAN'S "JUDGE DREDD", "PACIFIC RIM" SF EPIC, "MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN", "THE WALKING DEAD" SEASON 3 & DEL TORO'S "PINOCCHIO"

OK, people, we haven't done this in a long time, although I know you like it: we're having a photo day today here at HOLLYWOOD SPY, since a bunch of new posters and promo pics have been released for the upcoming projects. First, you can check out the first poster for this September's JUDGE DREDD remake, which will see always amazing Karl Urban playing a futuristic cop who also deals justice and sentences at the spot of the crime. I think a trailer for the film is in due order since there are only a few months left till the premiere. The film also stars Lena Headey from GAME OF THRONES as the main

villain, but the sad news is that Karl will be wearing Dredd's helmet in each second of the sf movie.

PACIFIC RIM SF EPIC

Here's another great picture for today: the exclusive first picture of Idris Elba in Guillermo del Toro's sf epic PACIFIC RIM. He does look rather great in the sf costume, doesn't he? Hitting cinemas next year in summer: when legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of

 lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenceless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.

MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN

First artwork has been released for MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN animated film which hits cinemas in spring 2014. Based on Jay Ward's classic cartoon, Mr. Peabody is the world's smartest person

 who happens to be a dog. When his "pet" boy Sherman uses their time traveling WABAC machine without permission, events in history spiral out of control. It's up to this most unexpected of "father-son" teams to somehow put things back on track before the space-time continuum is irreparably destroyed.

THE WALKING DEAD

All of you, and that would be half of the world, who are obsessed with THE WALKING DEAD smash hit series, will be excited to see the first picture of David Morrissey as the Governor, a new character who will appear in the third season in order to give sheriff Rick (Andrew Lincoln) lots of trouble. As you remember the very end of the second season finished with the look upon a strange domed settlement. It is called Woodbury, it is another settlement of survivors and the Governor is its tyrannical leader. The creators of the show have announced that the character will be nuanced, but pure evil and will be a big series villain.

NEW PINOCCHIO

Then there are also the first concept art pictures from Guillermo del Toro's PINOCCHIO. This 3D stop-motion animation adaptation of the famous tale will see him joining forces with The Jim Henson Co.

 You should expect a gritty version, since Del Toro said: "The Blue Fairy is really a dead girl's spirit. Pinocchio has strange moments of lucid dreaming bordering on hallucinations, with black rabbits. The sperm

whale that swallows Pinocchio was actually a giant dogfish, which allows for more classical scale and design. The many mishaps Pinocchio goes through include several near-death close calls, a lot more harrowing moments."
