SECRETARIAT TRAILER: The first trailer for Diane Lane and John Malkovich’s upcoming film Secretariat has been released and it features horse races, hideous wigs, and plenty of ugly hats. The film is produced by Walt Disney Pictures and is directed by Randall Wallace, the amazing screenwriter behind Mel Gibson’s Oscar winning epic, Braveheart. Check out the trailer…
Earlier this year it seemed like Spider-Man 4 was shaping up with both Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst back on board with a new adversary to take down. At the time, John Malkovich had been rumored to star as the villain Vulture but before he could go in for a costume fitting the entire movie was scrapped by Sony. Months later at a recent press junket the actor was asked about his involvement with the film and whether or not he knows what caused the studio to pull the plug.
Besides Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Tyrese Gibson, and Josh Duhamel, three major casting announcements have been made regarding Michael Bay’s Transformers 3. The director recently wrote a post on his official website stating that several new actors have signed on for roles in the movie. We’re talking Oscar caliber talent, mixed with the comedic chops of one of the guys from Knocked Up and The Hangover.
John Malkovich has been a busy bee lately, just coming off his stint in the DC Comics adaptation, Jonah Hex. The actor must have caught the comic book bug because rumor has it that he’ll appear in the Sony flick Spider-Man 4, and his been named as John C. Reilly‘s recast in Red. Is he pulling a Ryan Reynolds and forcing himself into every comic movie known to man?
Every couple of weeks a new casting rumor surfaces regarding Spider-Man 4, and this time the character of choice is Vulture. We’ve already heard the stories regarding Julia Stiles, Rachel McAdams and Anne Hathaway taking on the role of the Black Cat, but what would happen if John Malkovich joined the party?
A group of four actors have signed on to star in the real life story of Secretariat, the racehorse that won the famed Triple Crown back in 1973. According to Reuters, John Malkovich, Diane Lane, Scott Glenn and Dylan Walsh have all signed on to co-star in the film about the legendary horse. Randall Wallace will direct the film from a script written by Mike Rich.
When I went to see The Great Buck Howard, I was fortunate enough that Sean McGinly, the writer/director of this movie, did a Q&A afterwards. Though this is not his first time with both writing and directing responsibilities, he seems to be really in his element with this film. According to McGinly, the first 15 minutes or so, of the movie, are based completely off his own experiences, which completely blew my mind.
The story is about young Troy (Colin Hanks) who is unhappy with his situation in college, so he decides to ditch it. He knows he wants to be writer, but doesn’t know how to go about making it a reality. He hunts for jobs and lands upon an ad in the paper that promises work with a celebrity. This is when he meets Buck Howard (John Malkovich). The rest of the story revolves around Troy’s relationship to Buck and the roller-coaster career that Buck fights through.
Things are really shaping up for the comic book adaptation, Jonah Hex. Originally the film stumbled upon a snag with the shifting of directors late last year, but since then the project has been steadily moving along. Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin is attached to star as the title character, and according to Variety he will be joined by John Malkovich, as the film’s villain, Turnbull.
More on his character after the jump.
John Malkovich plays a “mentalist” who is quickly on his way out of the business, without him even knowing it in, The Great Buck Howard. You would like a psychic could see something like that coming. Hmmm… The film stars Colin Hanks, Tom Hanks, Emily Blunt, Steve Zahn, and of course Malkovich. They got everyone from Conan to Martha Stewart to make a special appearance in this. Looks like it’s going to be awesome!
