Scorsese Could Direct Leonardo DiCaprio in Remake of 'The Gambler'

The Gambler / DiCaprio & Scorsese

Ohhh Martin Scorsese, there's nothing he won't get attached to. Deadline is reporting that Paramount is developing a remake of the 1974 gambling drama The Gambler, and that they've attached Leonardo DiCaprio to star. But that's not all, as he comes with Scorsese, too! They're saying that the project is a "potential directing vehicle for Martin Scorsese" with a screenplay from William Monahan, who won an Oscar like Scorsese for writing The Departed. Quite a Departed round-up, which is exactly what makes this so enticing. But, of course, all three of these guys have their hands in so many other places at the moment.

Watch: Theatrical Trailer for 'Fireflies in the Garden' Ensemble Drama

Fireflies in the Garden Official Trailer

"It hasn't always been like this, has it?" Time for a trip down memory lane, as we're featuring a trailer for a film called Fireflies in the Garden, and it's not the first time we've had a trailer for it. Way back in 2008, when this film was made, we posted a trailer and I was pretty excited about it. Jump ahead three years and they still haven't released this film, I'm not really sure why, but it has a great cast, at least. The fractured-narrative ensemble drama stars Ryan Reynolds, who is really the primary focus, Julia Roberts, Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson, Carrie-Anne Moss, Ioan Gruffudd, Hayden Panettiere and Cayden Boyd.

Zoe Saldana Will Play a Half-Human, Half-Angel in Thriller 'Dominion'

Zoe Saldana

Obviously well-timed with the release of her new action movie Colombiana this weekend, THR is reporting that Paramount has set up a supernatural thriller called Dominion starring badass-hottie Zoe Saldana. There is no director yet, but the pitch is from writers Dean McCreary & Chester Hastings. It apparently has something to do with a woman, to be played by Saldana, who is half-human, half-angel. Not much more is known beyond that, but the project is being produced by Saldana, as well as Robbie Brenner, of A Perfect Getaway and Machine Gun Preacher. This seems like a rather interesting project to watch out for. Read on!

Check This Out: Massive, Detailed Infographic on James Bond's Cars

Big James Bond's Cars Infographic

Hey Bond fans, do we have an infographic for you! I recently found this massive, 19,000px-tall infographic titled James Bond's Cars, or the "Historical Background of the Vehicles Driven by Legendary Agent 007." And when they say a historical background on the vehicles, they mean all of his vehicles, every last one, all 23. They cover just about every special car Q built for James, as well as vehicles that were stolen by Bond or driven at any point. He's driven 8 Aston Martins and 4 Fords (wha?) plus a wide variety of others, including Bentley, Rolls-Royce and that Lotus Esprit Turbo from For Your Eyes Only. Check this out below!

'Source Code' Writer Bringing 'Flatliners' Remake to Life at Columbia

Flatliners

Yes, I've got to start with the obligatory "it's back from the dead!" THR is reporting that Columbia Pictures has a remake of Flatliners in the works, and that Further Films, who produced the original, is developing, along with producer Laurence Mark (The Lookout, Julie & Julia, How Do You Know). Set to write the script is Ben Ripley, mostly known for writing the original screenplay for Duncan Jones' Source Code, but also has credited work on some Species sequels. That's all they've announced for this new version so far. To be honest, I love the concept, and that Schumacher one just doesn't deliver. Some lines shouldn't be crossed.

Jim Sturgess Also Has a Role in Wachowskis' 'Cloud Atlas' Adaptation

Jim Sturgess / Cloud Atlas

Already boasting in an impressive cast (despite its modest budget), the adaptation of David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas from the Wachowski siblings and German filmmaker Tom Tykwer, the production can't help but add another great cast member. USA Today confirms (via The Playlist) that One Day and Across the Universe star Jim Sturgess will be part of the cast which already includes Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon, Ben Whishaw and Jim Broadbent. And considering we've heard each actor will play a variety of characters in the six worlds of the story, it should be quite the spectacle.

Watch: UK Trailer for Lars von Trier's 'Melancholia' with Kirsten Dunst

Melancholia UK Trailer

"What star is that?" "It's a planet that's been hiding behind the sun, now it passes by us." Another new UK trailer has just debuted on Digital Spy (via The Playlist) today for Lars von Trier's Melancholia, starring primarily Kirsten Dunst, with a supporting cast including Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Gainsbourg, John Hurt, Stellan & Alexander SkarsgÄrd and Charlotte Rampling, among others. This is a rather short trailer and I still prefer the first one we ran, but at least it's a reminder that this flick is coming up soon, so if von Trier's new sci-fi drama intrigues you, go see it in theaters. Check out this UK trailer below.

Watch: Latest International Trailer for Andrew Niccol's Sci-Fi 'In Time'

Andrew Niccol's In Time Trailer

"We're not meant to live forever." Fox Malaysia has debuted a new international trailer for Andrew Niccol's In Time, the semi-sci-fi thriller starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried as time-fugitives on the run. Honestly, this is looking better and better with each new trailer. In this one, we we get a bit more time (get it?) with Olivia Wilde, and a spoiler for her character, a bit less with Cillian Murphy, but more action and a better look at how these two will "upset the entire system" messing with time distribution and citizens. I'm actually starting to like the way this is turning out, finally more good sci-fi from Andrew Niccol.

The Rum Diary Trailer

Comes for the Madness, Stay for a Drink! Johnny Depp is finally back for more Hunter S. Thompson wackiness! After delaying this film for quite a while, FilmDistrict has finally launched the first official trailer for The Rum Diary, based off of Hunter S. Thompson's novel, starring Johnny Depp as Paul Kemp, a divorced alcoholic who heads down to San Juan to work as a journalist for the newspaper. This is as wacky as it sounds, but looks awesome, at least like it's going to be insanely fun to watch. The cast includes Amber Heard, Aaron Eckhart, Giovanni Ribisi and Richard Jenkins. "No such thing as 470 proof alcohol!"
