David O. Russell wants Scarlett Johansson in "Uncharted"; No Lhurman in the director's chair of "The Great Gatsby"?; Henry Cavill is the new Superman;

Someone asked to David O. Russell if Amy Adams would play Elena in his adaptation of the video game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and he answered "Oh I would love that too, I love Amy. I also love Scarlett Johansson; there’s a lot of great actors I think might suit. Hopefully, we’ll see how it works out with everybody who are being scoped to do that role". Well... it seems that Scarlett Johansson is back on fire again to casting talks.
Mark Wahlberg, Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci are some "rumoured" casting choices, with Wahlberg "almost confirmed" as he always does in O. Russell's movies and it seems such an interesting project, but will Miss Johansson be able to work on it specially when she will spend a lot of time shooting The Avengers?
According to Collider, "Baz Luhrmann may be reconsidering an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Speaking to Vulture at the DGA Awards on Saturday, Luhrmann said he has to “make a decision in three days’ time,” on “Whether to do it or not.”", so it seems that after such a lot of rumours about the casting choices, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire may not be directed by the Moulin Rouge! director or even not being directed at all, which is what happens in a lot of cases like this one.
I would like to see what Baz Luhrman would do with an adaptation of such a classic like The Great Gatsby, so, please don't let this project go away!
Henry Cavill (The Tudors TV series) was chosen to play Clark Kent/Superman in the next movie about the legendary superhero - Superman: Man of Steel. The movie is being produced by Christopher Nolan and others and it will be directed by Zack Snyder (300 and The Watchmen).

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad
