Besides a solid villain, The Dark Knight Rises is missing one crucial element, a female lead. We’ve heard rumors of Tom Hardy possibly playing Clayface in the sequel, and the idea of The Riddler has been ruled out by director Christopher Nolan himself. But we haven’t heard anything about bringing on a woman to replace Rachel Dawes — until now.
Earlier today we discovered that Universal plans on releasing their adaptation, Snow White and The Huntsman on December 21, 2012. The studio is wasting no time with pre-production and their first order of business is to find the right actors to play the main characters. It was previously rumored that Tom Hardy might be in the running for the Huntsman and Angelina Jolie for the evil queen, but now two new actors have joined the race.
Even though the plot of George Miller’s long awaited Mad Max sequel is being kept under wraps, we’ve learned some startling info about one of its main characters. Oscar winner Charlize Theron’s stunt double Annabelle Williams opened up about her role with an Australian ABC affiliate, and revealed that she will be a different type of female lead. She’ll be strong, beautiful, and have one arm.
The year was 2007, and a young filmmaker named Jason Reitman took a chance on an unknown’s screenplay called Juno. Several years, Oscar wins, and Oscar nominations later Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody are ready to make magic happen again with a new project called Young Adult. According to Deadline, the film will feature Charlize Theron dealing with love, loss, and more loss.
It’s official! Charlize Theron and British actor Tom Hardy are both in negotiations to star in Mad Max 4 aka Fury Road. Just last week we reported on speculation that the two actors were taking on the leads in the long awaited sequel and according to THR, it’s been confirmed.
Could this be a casting development for the upcoming Mad Max sequel/reboot? There have been rumors floating around regarding the fourth installment of the action franchise that made Mel Gibson a star for years. Director George Miller has been more than vocal about his desire to produce another film. Now we’re hearing rumors via EOnline that Oscar winner Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy may have been cast as the leads in the new film.
One Oscar winner has been swapped out for another, according Reuters. Charlize Theron was set to star opposite Sam Worthington in the action thriller, The Tourist but that is no longer the case. The actress has unexpectedly dropped out of the film, and sources are claiming that Angelina Jolie will step in as her replacement.
Shortly after two writers were hired to pen the script for Hancock 2, director Peter Berg has confirmed the film’s main cast. Over at MTV, they recently spoke to Berg about the sequel and whether or not all the original stars would make a return. Will Smith’s appearance is a given, and at this point so is Charlize Theron‘s, so Jason Bateman can’t be too far behind can he?
Today our site has been overflowing with posters from various upcoming films. Our latest batch comes from the John Hillcoat drama, The Road.
