Uma Thurman has joined the cast of the athletic, romantic comedy Playing the Field according to Variety. The film is headlined by Gerard Butler, and will feature the Scottish actor in a love triangle with Thurman and Jessica Biel. Yes, Jessica Biel! This is definitely an interesting trio don’t you think? Find out more about the movie…
It’s no secret that a sequel to last year’s How To Train Your Dragon is on the way. The movie was a critical and commercial success that brought some positive attention to DreamWorks Animation who were in dire need of a good film. The Shrek franchise has more than worn out its welcome. Last fall they revealed that How to Train Your Dragon 2 would hit theaters in 2013, and that the majority of the cast would return. Everyone’s name was on the list except for the one and only Gerard Butler. We thought he was a strange omission, so we’re happy to report that he’s finally been confirmed for the sequel.
Gerard Butler is trying to get back into our good graces again by working on another comic book adaptation. According to Deadline, the actor has joined forces with director Antoine Fuqua to bring Afterburn, a Red 5 Comic title by Paul Ens and Scott Chitwood to the big screen. This could be a perfect combination or a disaster waiting to happen. Check out the details below…
Gerard Butler will continue his assault on the action drama with his upcoming film, Machine Gun Preacher. The title makes it sound like a campy comic adaptation but its actually a fact-based drama. According to Deadline, Lionsgate has acquired the North American distribution rights to the film that will feature Butler in the starring role.
Early last year, it was announced that Ralph Fiennes would direct and star in a modern day adaptation of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus. Production began on the film early last spring and includes the acting talents of Gerard Butler, William Hurt, and Vanessa Redgrave. Several photos from the shoot have surfaced online and they have a Black Hawk Down /The Hurt Locker feel to them. Take a look and tell us what you think…
We don’t know what’s worse, the fact that another remake of A Star is Born is in the works or that Gerard Butler might play the lead. According to a report in the LA Times, the long developing project has been rumored to have Russell Crowe as its headliner but the role might be given to Butler instead.
Ralph Fiennes directorial debut, if nothing else, is going to be interesting—the actor will be helming as well as starring in Coriolanus, a modern-day update of Shakespeare’s play of the same the name. Barry Ackroyd, cinematographer for both The Hurt Locker and Green Zone, will be lensing the adaptation, which originally centered on “a Roman general who attacked Rome after being exiled from the city.”
How to Train Your Dragon is an unconventional, epic tale about one of the unlikeliest heroes you’ll ever meet. It’s the latest big budget animated feature from DreamWorks and it’s directed by the guys who brought you 2002′s Lilo & Stitch. I walked into the film expecting it to be “just another animation” with nothing out of the ordinary that would warrant your time or money — but I was proved wrong. From the animation to the voice work it proved itself tenfold, focusing not only on special effects but most importantly the story.
In their latest romantic comedy The Bounty Hunter, Jennifer Aniston is lovely and Gerald Butler is an immature 12-year-old trapped in the body of a middle-aged man. Aniston is one of the ladies in Hollywood who’s taken up more rom-coms than anyone else, while Butler is slowly dipping his feet into the genre — he’s already got two under his belt (P.S. I Love You and The Ugly Truth). Now the duo joins director Andy Tennant, who like Aniston, has plenty of experience in the realm of unconventional love backed by hilarious circumstances.
