Tom Hooper's Adaptation of 'Les Miserables' Possibly Shooting in 3D

The cast just recently officially gained Russell Crowe and Helena Bonham Carter to star alongside Hugh Jackman in Tom Hooper's big screen adaptation of Les Miserables, but now the musical might be getting the addition of the third dimension. Market Saw (via Movies.com) is reporting a strong desire to shoot the story set during the French rebellion of the 19th century in 3D. The source says the information comes from someone "close to the cinematography technology side of things." Considering The Great Gatsby is also heading into the third dimension, it's not all that unconventional to hear this news now.

By Ethan Anderton

With British directing talent like Duncan Jones (Source Code) and Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) crossing the pond to take on big sci-fi films in Hollywood, it seems like we're experiencing yet another British invasion, this time in the cinema world.

By Alex Billington

"Oh boy... this has all the elements of a sports masterpiece!" This looks awesome, even more so if you're from Canada. An official Canadian trailer for Goon, a hockey comedy that premiered at TIFF this week, has been unveiled via YouTube. Goon stars Jay Baruchel, Seann William Scott, Liev Schreiber and Alison Pill and is simply a comedy about an "outcast" bouncer named Doug Glatt (Scott) who finally makes his way into semi-pro hockey, "beating the crap out of everything that stands in his way." I haven't seen it yet, but Steve from Collider did and had some great things to say about it. Check out this first trailer below!

Hugh Grant Joining the Impressive Cast of Wachowskis' 'Cloud Atlas'

By Ethan Anderton

With a cast that already includes the likes of Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Ben Whishaw, Keith David, David Gyas and Susan Sarandon, you'd think that the Wachowski siblings and Tom Tykwer would be done rounding up talent for their adaptation of Cloud Atlas. However, Screen Daily has word that Hugh Grant is now signing on to join the big screen version of David Mitchell's complex novel of the same name. The project is certainly much more promising than his last big screen endeavor, the painfully generic romantic comedy Did You Hear About the Morgans?

Review: 'Contagion' Is Less Terrifying and More Interestingly Paranoid

By Jeremy Kirk

A star-studded disaster movie, Steven Soderbergh's Contagion is more Robert Altman than Irwin Allen, more paranoia and societal breaking point than beautiful people dealing directly with the natural calamity at hand. At times chillingly quiet instead of edge-of-your seat intense, it sends a cool rush of air through the audience, and though it coasts to a subdued, almost dissatisfying, conclusion and splits off varying strands of disconnected lines of plot, some unneeded, others forgotten along the way, Contagion ends up an intriguing real-world look at what might happen if we're confronted with a worldwide epidemic.

Adam Scott Says 'Party Down' Movie Could Be Shooting Next Summer

By James Wallace

Sadly, some of the greatest shows are ones that find their audience too little too late. Some include "Arrested Development," "Veronica Mars," both Joss Whedon's "Firefly" and "Dollhouse" and another series among them is the Starz Network's "Party Down", co-created by Paul Rudd and "Mars" creator Rob Thomas and starring Adam Scott, Martin Starr, Jane Lynch, and Lizzy Caplan. Like its fellow doomed series, "Party Down" has been promised to return in film form but just like many of the series in the same boat, has failed to come to fruition. However, Scott says that could actually change next summer. Read on!
