Lena Headey (“Game of Thrones”)will star alongside Ethan Hawke (Daybreakers) in Universal Pictures’ Vigilandia, a modestly budgeted frightener from writer/director James DeMonaco (Little New York) set to shoot next month.
Producers Platinum Dunes (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th) and Blumhouse Productions (Paranormal Activity, Insidious) are keeping plot details on the QT, revealing only that the picture is a sci-fi thriller.
Headey currently stars as Queen Cersei Lannister on the HBO series “Game of Thrones.” She returns to the big-screen later this year in the Pete Travis-directed Dred 3-D, an adaptation of the popular U.K. comic Judge Dredd.
Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) is set to join 17-year-old starlet Saoirse Ronan (Hanna) in director Andrew Niccol’s (In Time) big-screen adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer’s tween sci-fi novel “The Host.”
The Host centers on an alien invasion of human minds. Ronan plays Melanie Stryder, a young woman whose thoughts of love puzzle her would-be extraterrestrial body-snatcher, making it difficult to seize control of her thoughts.
Kruger will play The Seeker, a guardian looking after Melanie as she is the linchpin in a revolution meant to free humans from their alien invaders. Max Irons (Red Riding Hood) and Jake Abel (I Am Number Four) costar as Melanie’s lover Jared Howe and rebel Ian O’Shea, respectively.
Kruger, last seen opposite Liam Neeson in the hit action thriller Unknown, is best known for her portrayal of Dr. Abigail Chase in Walt Disney Pictures’ National Treasure franchise and as actress/spy Bridget von Hammersmark in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
Last Exorcism producer Eli Roth is promising an R-rated sequel for his 2010 sleeper hit about a priest who encounters a real demon-possessed soul while shooting a documentary meant to debunk exorcisms.
The first film worked great as a PG-13 psychological film, but now we want to go R-rated and show the true horror of what this subject matter offers.
Obviously with the title of the first one, we had not planned on a sequel, but we love the story and subject matter and had what we feel is an inspired idea to continue it.
Production on the sequel is set to begin next month in New Orleans. The story will pick up three months after the events of the original and will find lead Ashley Bell reprising her role as the possessed Nell Sweetzer.
Helming the StudioCanal financed project will be Ed Gass-Donnelly (This Beautiful City) from a script by Damien Chazelle (Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench).
The Last Exorcism was produced for a little under $2 million and went on to earn over $65 million in worldwide coin.
Ukrainian stunner Olga Kurylenko (pictured above) is starring opposite Tom Cruise and Andrea Riseborough (Never Let Me Go) in director Joseph Kosinski’s currently untitled follow-up to his 2010 feature film debut Tron: Legacy.
The Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3) scripted film, previously entitled Horizons and Oblivion, is set in a future where people live on cloud cities above an uninhabitable Earth. Cruise plays a repairman sent down to the abandoned planet to fix the drones that keep alien threats at bay.
HeatVision reports that Kurylenko is playing the role of Cruise’s lover and work partner, his “anchor to the city in the clouds.” Riseborough is the mysterious woman who crash lands on Earth and threatens their relationship.
Kurylenko’s genre creds include Neil Marshall’s Centurion and the big-screen video game adaptations Hitman and Max Payne. The 32-year-old former model is best known for her portrayal of revenge-seeking Bond girl Camille Montes in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace.
Vera Farmiga (Source Code) and Patrick Wilson (Prometheus) have said I do to portraying married demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren in New Line’s upcoming based-on-true-events frightener The Conjuring.
Written by Chad and Carey Hayes (Whiteout, House of Wax), the story follows the horrifying ordeal faced by the Perron family in 1970 after moving into a demon-possessed Rhode Island farmhouse.
Insidious and Saw director James Wan will helm the modestly-budgeted project, which is set to roll camera in North Carolina in March. Ghost hunter fans may recognize Ed and Lorraine Warren as the paranormal investigators called in to work the infamous Amityville Horror case of 1975.
Star Wars creator George Lucas recently got his Jedi robes in a bunch while talking to the New York Times about the possibility of producing more Star Wars films. Wounded by the negative criticism from both press and fans over the disappointing prequels and his ongoing tinkering with the original trilogy, Lucas huffed-and-puffed like a Sith lord on a respirator.
Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?
On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie. I’m saying: ‘Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.’
Lucas, I can feel your anger. It makes you stronger. Join me and together we will re-release all six Star Wars films in 3-D conversion, with blantant disregard to Han Solo-shot-first purists and even more CGI changes ::cough::cough:: … sorry, I always cough when impersonating the Emperor’s voice.
AnnaLynne McCord (“90210”) stars opposite Antonio Sabato Jr. (“My Antonio”) and James Brolin (“Hotel”) in Bad Actor IslandBad Girl Island, a Caribbean-set supernatural thriller about a mysterious seductress who just may be a voodoo witch … or something.
Peep it:
The film’s synopsis reads:
When the enchanting Simone (McCord) mysteriously appears on the tropical island of Eleuthera, no man can resist her deadly charm.
After seducing wealthy film producer Michael Pace (Sabato, Jr.) in his dreams, she comes back to haunt him in real life when his best friend is found murdered and the only evidence is a video of his friend making love to Simone and of course Michael’s dream.
Surprisingly, Simone shows up at a casting session with Pace and famous director Terry Bamba (Brolin), and soon they are all entwined in a deadly game of deception, seduction, and revenge.
Bad Girl Island arrives on DVD and VOD on Jan. 24 from Freestyle Digital Media.
McCord, best known for her role as privileged brat Naomi Clark on The CW’s “90210,” can also be seen in Millennium’s 2008 home-video original Day of the Dead, a remake of George Romero’s 1985 film, and the 20th Century Fox frightener The Haunting of Molly Hartley.
Hungarian actress Andrea Osvart is ready to make an impact on American audiences. In addition to starring in the pilot episode of Cinemax’s small-screen adaptation of Luc Besson’s “The Transporter,” the beautiful 32-year-old former fashion model has been tapped by producer Eli Roth to star in Aftershock, a disaster flick set during the aftermath of the 2010 Chilean quake.
Plot details are scarce, but Osvart will play one of the earthquake survivors trying to stay safe and keep looters from running away with her TV and potted plants (just guessing that last part). Chilean director Nicolás López (Que Pena Tu Vida) will helm the project from a script by Guillermo Amoedo (The Crack).
Production on Aftershock starts shaking this spring.
