Saoirse Ronan Will Lead Overdue Snow White Film 'Order of Seven'

After leading the twisted sort of fairytale that was Hanna, young actress Saoirse Ronan will lead yet another drastically different variation on a classic story in what should be the last adaptation of Snow White we'll need for at least a decade. Variety reports Ronan has been tapped to lead Order of Seven, the Kung Fu centric telling of the tale that follows Olivia Sinclair, a British expatriate in 19th century Hong Kong, who seeks the protection of centuries old warriors, now a jaded group of outlaws (in place of the usual dwarves). After the reemergence of an ancient evil empress, Sinclair then helps the warriors reclaim their destiny.

Patton Oswalt Also Joins Ben Stiller in 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'

By Ethan Anderton

Though his turn in Big Fan didn't get the awards recognition it deserved, things looked good for Patton Oswalt after his touching and honest performance in Young Adult. Sadly, his exclusion from the Oscar noms this year was just one of many ridiculous snubs from the Academy, and the comedian and actor will just have to settle for ample critical praise this time around. Now Variety has word that Oswalt is getting back into some light comedy by taking a supporting role in the long gestating adaptation/remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Ben Stiller starring, directing and producing.

Ridley Scott Confirmed for 'The Counselor' and Fassbender May Star

By Ethan Anderton

Not too long ago we heard that director Ridley Scott was circling the Cormac McCarthy (author of The Road and No Country for Old Men) scripted film The Counselor. Now Deadline confirms that Scott has made the project his next film as a director, and he might be bringing one of his Prometheus stars with him to lead the story of a respected lawyer who thinks he can dip a toe in to the drug business without getting stuck in the seedy underbelly. Apparently Michael Fassbender has been talking with Scott about taking the lead role, and while an official offer hasn't been made, it sounds like it's pretty close to happening.

Russell Crowe Also Considered for the New Dracula Thriller 'Harker'

By Ethan Anderton

Though the Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind star was recently mentioned in the same breath as RoboCop, Noah and Winter's Tale, Russell Crowe has since revealed (through his personal Twitter page) that he won't become the robotic police officer. That still leaves two projects, and now Vulture has word of another to be thrown into the mix. Apparently Warner Bros. is currently in talks with Crowe to lead Harker, the reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula that tells the story from the viewpoint of Jonathan Harker, who, in this version, is a Scotland Yard detective investigating the Count's string of grisly murders in England.

Must Watch: First 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' Trailer

By Ethan Anderton

"And we'll be bringing you the countdown to the end of days along with all your classic rock favorites." The poster just debuted this week, and as promised, now we have the first official trailer for the fantastic looking comedic drama Seeking a Friend for the End of the World starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley as an unlikely pair who develop a relationship while on one last road trip to find the former's high school sweetheart before the end of days. My only gripe is I'm not sure anyone would work anywhere if the end of the world was so near. But I digress, as it doesn't detract from how great this film looks. Watch!

Wait, What?! George Lucas Asserts That Greedo Always Shot First?

By Ethan Anderton

It's been a point of contention amongst fanboys since 1997 when Star Wars (again, I will not call it A New Hope) returned to theaters in Special Edition form complete with new special effects, creatures and remastered sound and picture. However, one of the biggest changes to the film came in the form of an extra split second of footage in the Mos Eisley cantina in which Han Solo is confronted by Greedo. Now in the original film, Solo blasts Greedo without a second thought, but in the Special Edition, galactic history is rewritten to have Greedo taking the first shot. However, George Lucas never saw it that way. More below!

Legendary Pictures Officially Shuts Down Alex Proyas' 'Paradise Lost'

By Ethan Anderton

After being delayed last month, when shooting was supposed to commence, it sounds like Paradise Lost is going to that big shelf in the sky where the epic Biblical war written by John Milton would've taken place. Deadline has word that Legendary Pictures has scrapped Alex Proyas' developing adaptation about the epic war in heaven between archangels Lucifer and Michael, including the latter's role in Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Talent like Bradley Cooper, Diego Boneta, Benjamin Walker, Casey Affleck and more had been lined up for the project, but apparently it's the heavy visual effects budget that has it dead.

Morgan Freeman Heading to the Future with Tom Cruise in 'Oblivion'

By Ethan Anderton

His booming voice served as the narration to space and the heavens themselves in the Science Channel series "Through the Wormhole," but now Morgan Freeman will be headed into the future. Deadline has word that the veteran actor has landed a critical role in Oblivion, the big budget sci-fi film from Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski with Tom Cruise starring. The film follows the last man (Cruise) on a post-apocalyptic and nearly uninhabitable Earth, who stays behind to repair ships that hunt down and blast a virulent alien species. However, at this time it's not clear what role Freeman has landed in the sci-fi story.

Watch: 'The Artist' Star Jean Dujardin Auditions for Every Villain Role

By Ethan Anderton

Now that he's made quite a splash in the United States garnering plenty of acclaim and awards for his turn as George Valentin in The Artist, the time has come for French actor Jean Dujardin to take on a big blockbuster role. As this video so bluntly, and quite accurately, points out, it's a tradition for a big European actor to play the villain in any number of spy/action thrillers. Thankfully, Dujardin's representatives have set him up on a whole slew of auditions that would see him facing off with the likes of James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, Ethan Hunt, Jason Bourne, the Spy Kids and even those pesky Bridesmaids too. Watch below!

There's Already a Promo Poster with Danny Trejo for 'Machete Kills'

By Ethan Anderton

Though the project was just announced this week, Machete Kills has been making the rounds at the Berlin Film Market. That means aside from the attached cast, including Danny Trejo as the titular bad-ass Mexican, there had to be something tangible to help sell the film. Enter a sales promo poster that ComingSoon has discovered with a familiar face and a whole lot of blood. It's pretty self-explanatory what this film is going to be, and if you haven't seen the original, then you wouldn't probably be interested anyway. There's no cast or credits listed yet, so deals are probably still being closed, but check it out below!

'Wet Hot American Summer' Sequel Confirmed with Everyone Back!

By Ethan Anderton

Last summer we got the potentially exciting news that a follow-up to the 2001 Sundance selected comedy Wet Hot American Summer just might be happening. Though the chances were slim, director David Wain said that it was being developed. Now it sounds like dreams are coming true as Wain's longtime friend and comedic collaborator Michael Showalter stopped by the Bravo talk show "Watch What Happens Live" (via HuffPo) and when asked whether the sequel would be happening, he simply said, "Absolutely yes. 100% yes. The whole gang. Everyone's back. We're doing it." That's the best news I've heard this year.
