Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson have both joined the upcoming suspense film, The Ledge. The movie already has Terrence Howard and Charlie Hunnam on board as the leads, and the latest actors will both appear in supporting roles. Production on the film already began shooting on Monday, so Tyler and Wilson are a bit late, but they’re still in the game.
How did we miss this casting? Patrick Wilson aka Nite-Owl II from Watchmen, has been cast in the upcoming A-Team movie. According to EW, Wilson was another actor who officially signed onto the film, along with Sharlto Copley and Jessica Biel. Wilson is no stranger to action films, so it will be interesting to see him go toe to toe with the men of the A-Team.

The Jennifer Aniston comedy The Baster just got a whole lot better thanks to the addition of two new cast members. I was already on board when I learned that Aniston would star opposite the hilarious Jason Bateman. That guys been doing comedy since he was a kid, so what’s not to love? According to Variety, Watchmen alum Patrick Wilson and “Mr. Welcome to Jurassic Park” Jeff Goldblum have also signed on for roles in the film.
Well, apparently the embargo on Watchmen reviews has been lifted. So! To answer the question I’ve been asked many times over, “how was Watchmen?” Here we go! There is no doubt about it, it’s epic. It is unlike any other comic book movie you’ve ever seen. And in honor of Zack Snyder, I’ve made this review R-rated. So deal with it. It’s more real, more gritty, and sorry Dark Knight fans, more dark than any comic book film we’ve ever seen before. In comparison, it makes TDK look clean and shiny. Now don’t get out your pitchforks just yet, it’s depth may also be it’s biggest problem. I’m not sure if the box office is ready for such a dark comic book film. But this is a solid film, not just a superhero flick. Recently we stated that we did not think that TDK was worthy of an Oscar nomination because although is was an amazing film it did not transcend it’s genre and The Watchmen does. There is far more emphasis on the characters, the background, the relationships than there are fight scenes (although don’t get me wrong there are plenty of explosions and special effects for you to enjoy). The Dark Knight, opened a door and now The Watchmen has stepped through it.

Director Rodrigo Garcia’s pyscho-thriller, Passengers, features trauma therapist Dr. Claire Summers (Anne Hathaway), whose latest assignment links her to the five survivors of a plane crash that killed over a hundred people. While the airline insists the accident was a result of the pilot’s mere laziness, the survivors seem to recollect a technical malfunction before the plane’s descent -leaving the airline at fault, and a larger case to crack. The survivors slowly, and mysteriously begin to disappear as pieces of the story unfold, prompting Dr. Summers to conduct her own investigations. She’s particularly intrigued by Eric (Patrick Wilson), whose recount of the accident is exceptionally vague in contrast to those of the other survivors. Professional boundaries are broken when her relationship with Eric escalates from patient to lover, and her desire for answers inspires a relentless journey to unveil the truth.
