" Jeremy Renner to Co-Star in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE IV Jeremy Renner has signed on to star alongside Tom Cruise in Brad Bird’s Mission: Impossible IV. Deadline reports that Paramount was looking for an actor who could potentially carry on the franchise should Cruise leave the series down the line, although he is expected to return for a fifth picture should it happen. As we reported a couple days ago, Keven Zegers, Christopher Egan, and Anthony Mackie were in talks to join the film, but Deadline explains they were all planning to read for the role that now belongs to Renner. Ving Rhames is set to return and Simon Pegg is in talks to reprise his role as Benji Dunn. Paramount has also met with Swedish actress Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). Hit the jump for more on Renner’s increasingly-busy schedule. Mission: Impossible IV is due out on December 16, 2011 ."

Well, it seems great! It's the only thing I can say about Danny Boyle's latest project starring James Franco in a movie based on a real story of a mountain climber. Just check out the movie trailer: It's seems a mix of the energetic and brilliant Slumdog Millionaire with the little-epic adventure of Christopher McCandless in Into the Wild! And both movies were some of the greatest I've ever seen! People will talk about this one as a serious Oscar contender, specially in the major categories (Best Picture, Best Director and Best Leading Actor) and (maybe) in the editing work that seemed wonderful to me while I watched the trailer. 127 Hours isn't a myth anymore, it's real, and seems a beautiful reality! I can't wait for this one !

Tim Burton is attached to direct a 3D stop-motion adaptation of The Addams Family . It was a rumoured movie and since it beggining, some months ago, Burton was the director that was named to bring life to the project. The screenwriting team of Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (who wrote Ed Wood ) is attached to write the screenplay. There aren't rumours about the actors attached for the project, but I've the strange feeling that we may see Johnny Depp and Helena Boham Carter working with him again... I really want to see the result of this one!

Mary Jane Won’t Be Love-Interest in SPIDER-MAN Reboot; Candidates Include Emma Roberts, Teresa Palmer, More by Matt Goldberg Posted:August 19th, 2010 at 3:12 pm With Andrew Garfield locked to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot, the search continues to find the web-slinger’s love-interest. However, unlike Raimi’s trilogy, the love interest won’t be Mary Jane. While presumably that means the love interest is Gwen Stacy, Heat Vision reports that script pages given to actresses reading for the role don’t reveal the character’s name. Among those actresses are (from left-to-right in the image above) Imogen Poots (Solitary Man), Ophelia Lovibond (Nowhere Boy), Lily Collins (The Blind Side), Teresa Palmer (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice), and Emma Roberts (Valentine’s Day). HV makes clear “These are not screentests, which usually involve some sort of dealmaking, but rather readings and meetings,” and that another round of searching could take place if these actresses don’...

" Emmy-Nominated Director Jenny Ash Developing Bob Marley Biopic by Matt Goldberg Posted:August 18th, 2010 at 9:46 am Jenny Ash, the UK director who has received an Emmy nomination for her work on the documentary miniseries America – The Story of Us, is developing a biopic on the life of legendary reggae artist Bob Marley. Deadline reports that the “feature will concentrate on the year Marley spent living in London in 1977. This was a crucial year for Marley. He’d fled Jamaica after an attempt was made on his life; the year ended with him sustaining a soccer injury which eventually triggered full-blown cancer.” Ash, whose two-hour segment of the 12-part America miniseries covered slavery and the Civil War, also sees the movie as a love triangle between Marley, his wife Rita and Jamaican beauty queen Cindy Breakspeare, whom Ash has spent time with in Jamaica. I presume the denouement of that story won’t be about college students who love Marley because he shared their love of getti...

The trailer of the last work of Darren Aronofsky came out, finally. It will be played in the opening night of the Venice Film Festival and is part of the official selection of Toronto Film Festival. According to the official movie's synopsis " BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter’s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the...

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway star in the latest romcom about an unlikely pair of people who initially hate one another and then learn they love one another only to find they can't be together before they decide to spend the rest of their lives together. It's seems a too much common story! And the trailer seems more a enjoyable romantic-comedy than a serious comedy... My mum always told to not judge the thing based on their looks, but Love and Other Drugs doesn't seem as promising as it was some months before... Check out the trailer: It doesn't seems bad, but not so brilliant it may be!... Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway's performances seem very good and may be the only chances of the movie for the Oscars, but it may only be a truly shinning star in Golden Globes, because it seems a good romantic-comedy and this is something rare nowadays. Let's wait and see...
