Coming Soon (Maybe)

I know it's only been 2 days since I last did one of these but the rumour mills have been going crazy..

Antichrist

Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsborough have signed on to Lars von Trier's Antichrist. I love saying that: Lars von Trier's Antichrist. Personally I'm not sure which is more unlikely; that Scorcese's Christ turns up in this or that Charlotte Gainsborough would be married to him.



The Challenge

George Clooney's Smoke House production company has picked up the rights to Jonathan Mahler's legal thriller left.

It's too early to say what involvement Clooney may have with the final product, but with this sort of liberal firework (it's based on the true story of Bin Laden Chaffeur's fight for a fair trail) he's sure to be front and centre of the final product.

Edwin(a) A. Salt

Anjelina Jolie is lining up Edwin A. Salt as her next action project. Given that Wanted was sold on her (and sold well) and she's kind of dead in that this is just the sort of thing she needs to keep at the top of the box office, even if the CIA agent lead needs a couple of tweaks to make it work.

Of course one actor in means one out - in this case Tom Cruise looks suddenly unemployed, however at least he has his comedic chops to fall back on.

Tenn

At last, a biopic of someone I'm actually interested in has been greenlit, and with his tragedy filled life this should certainly be worth the watching.

The Warrier

Gavin O'Connor seems undeterred by the delays and problems he's faced with Pride and Glory and has moved production on his next film, The Warrier, to the next level. It's about mixed martial arts so there's about a 25% chance it will be any good. Fingers crossed. In any case looking at the net it's bound to involve sculpted guys with few clothes on beating the crap out of each other so who really cares about the quality.
