Penélope Cruz in Woody Allen next film project; Hugh Jackman may be the Huntsman; Pride & Prejudice & Zombies may have a new director;


  • It seems that Penélope Cruz (Volver) said that she and Woody Allen will work again on "his next movie". The Spanish actress added that she can't say anything more due to the fact that Allen is really secretive, but she confirmed that it will be her next movie and older reports say it will happen in Rome. Remember that last time the Cruz&Allen team worked together was in Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) and Cruz received an Academy Award of Best Supporting Actress for playing an explosive and unstable ex-wife that were part of a love triangle. Hope it will be great, Woody...

  • According to Collider, "Deadline reports that Universal has offered Hugh Jackman the role of the Huntsman in the Rupert Sanders-directed re-imagining of the classic fairy tale." Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) dropped out of the project, but it seems that Universal is looking for another "movie star" for the movie and Hugh Jackman may get the lead role in Snow White and the Huntsman if he wants to. The movie will also star Kristen Stewart (Twilight saga) as Snow White and Charlize Theron (Monster) as The Evil Queen. I'm a bit aprehensive about this project, but let's see how it works...

  • Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) is the new "in talks" director to work on the adaptation of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. Other directors like David O. Russel (The Fighter) and Mike White (School of Rock) have been linked to the project, but they droped out. The movie have also all-star names rumoured for the casting like Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) or Mia Wasikowska (Alice In Wonderland), just to name a few, after Natalie Portman (Black Swan) passed the project as an actress (but staying as a producer), but those name were only rumours. I think there will be a great party in Hollywood when this project will finally start shooting...
