January Jones Jumps With Nicolas Cage

28 October 2009 5:03 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Just last week January Jones revealed that, while they were dating, Ashton Kutcher told her he didn’t think she’d be any good at the acting biz, and that she should call it quits.

Well, Jones certainly wasn’t deterred by the lack of support from Kutcher. Already having cemented her place as a TV starlet with her role on Mad Men, Jones is ready to take on the big screen.

Before making a name for herself with Mad Men, Jones had supporting roles in numerous movies including Love Actually, American Wedding, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Jones has moved past being a supporting actress, signing on for starring roles in two films in the past week.

Last week Jones signed on for Dark Castle’s Unknown White Male with Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger, and it has now been revealed that she will also be starring with Nicolas Cage in Hungry Rabbit Jumps, »

January Jones to star with Nicolas Cage in Hungry Rabbit Jumps

28 October 2009 4:06 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

January Jones is hot. I mean she’s a popular actress getting many opportunities to continue working … and she’s hot.

The “Mad Men” star has signed on to star opposite Nicolas Cage in the dramatic thriller Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) is directing. I look forward to hearing what the name of the movie will eventually be … that title won’t stick, right?

The movie is about a man becomes wrapped up with an underground vigilante organization after his wife is the victim of a brutal crime. Maybe they got the idea from Law Abiding Citizen.

Last week, Jones signed on to star with Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger in Unknown White Male.

January Jones Teams Up With Nicolas Cage for Hungry Rabbit Jumps

28 October 2009 12:11 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Not surprisingly, it seems that things are going well for January Jones's career after her great work in Mad Men. In a recent page 3, we mentioned that Jones would be joining Diane Kruger and Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male. Now it seems she has another theatrical project lined up. Jones will be starring in Hungry Rabbit Jump, alongside Nicolas Cage as his wife. The film will be helmed by Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job, Thirteen Days), with a script by Robert Tannen (Even Money). We've known about the project since September, when Cage left The Green Hornet. The film concerns a man who is out for revenge after his wife becomes victim to a crime. He seeks out help from a vigilante group, and quickly gets in over his head. I'm not sure if we can rely on Cage not to give us a hilarious performance (somebody remind »

January Jones to Star Opposite Nicolas Cage in Hungry Rabbit Jumps

27 October 2009 6:28 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

“Mad Men” is paying big dividends for the lovely and talented January Jones.  On Sunday she came signed on to “Unknown White Male” and will co-star with Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger.  Two days later, Variety reports she has another major role as she joins Nicolas “Not the Bees” Cage for the upcoming thriller, “Hungry Rabbit Jumps”.  Directed by Roger Donaldson (”The Bank Job”), the movie “centers on a man (Cage) who becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization after his wife (Jones) is the victim of a brutal crime.”  It will be Jones’ job to keep Cage from masticating every piece of scenery he can find.  Shooting is set to begin this January while shooting for “Unknown White Male” is scheduled to begin shooting at the end of January.  “Mad Men” will return for a fourth season but no word yet on when it will start shooting or when it will premiere. »

January Jones is a Victim of Crime in Cage’s Hungry Rabbit Jumps

27 October 2009 12:13 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

I’ve seen January Jones around, and she’s always struck me as having the perfect Hollywood leading lady looks, which led me to wonder why she hasn’t been more famous. Her regular stint on AMC’s highly regarded “Mad Men” seems to have finally borne fruit, because just days after landing the role of Liam Neeson’s wife in “Unknown White Male” (along with Diane Kruger), Jones has landed the role of Nicolas Cage’s wife in the vigilante thriller “The Hungry Rabbit Jumps”. In the $30 million dollar film set to be directed by Roger Donaldson (”The Bank Job”), Jones will play the wife of Nicolas Cage, who goes to a vigilante group for assistance when “a crime is perpetrated on his wife” (rape?), but gets more than he bargained for as a result. I don’t know what that means, but I’m assuming the vigilante group »

First Teaser for ‘Season of the Witch’

23 October 2009 11:15 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Halloween is officially 8 days away (7 if you celebrate on the 30th), so it would make sense for a studio like Lionsgate to put out lots of genre films to coincide with the spookiest of holidays, right? Wrong, because according to them, March is the new Halloween. Whatever that means.

There is a brand new teaser out for Season of the Witch, starring Ron Perlman, Stephen Campbell Moore (The Bank Job), Ulrich Thomsen (Hitman), and yes, Nic Cage. Also, don’t be surprised that a film about witches isn’t coming out around Halloween, because director Dominic Sena’s last film, Whiteout, sat on the shelf for nearly a year before a soft release.

Though October is considered a dead financial month for films, it was nice that the trailer tried to cover it up by proclaiming that “Halloween is for Amateurs.” March isn’t a much better time, but it »

Darren Aronofsky Pulls Off a Heist Movie

22 September 2009 12:08 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

We'll start with the good news: Darren Aronofsky has signed up to direct and produce an adaptation of one of the most daring crimes of the century. In Tonbridge, Kent, a group of criminals lifted $85 million from a Securitas warehouse, although they didn't exactly get away with it.

Five people were convicted in January of last year in the largest cash theft in British history, but the story has lived on, and Variety says the film with Aronofsky's name on it will be adapted from a Sports Illustrated article called Breaking the Bank and Howard Sounes' book, Heist: The Inside Story of the World's Biggest Bank Robbery.

Tough to beat a good heist flick, really. We've been spoiled in that regard recently; both The Bank Job and Inside Man are great fun, and two-thirds of the Ocean's trilogy works, even though it's much lighter fare. Still, it's an ageless genre »

Cage is a Hungry Rabbit

8 September 2009 10:41 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Nicolas Cage is not literally a hungry rabbit but has hopped on board to star in The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Believe it or not, the film is actually a thriller, centering on a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. He subsequently becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization. The feature is written by Robert Tannen with Roger Donaldson, director of “The Bank Job”, helming the pic.

Hungry Rabbit Jumps will be under Maguire Entertainment, the production company from actor Tobey Maguire. Even though the Spider-Man actor will not be in front of the camera, he will be behind it serving as producer along with Jenno Topping, Ram Bergman and Jim Stern. Filming will start in January of 2010, no word yet on a settled release date. Currently Nicolas Cage is attached to a slew of projects, from Michael Gondry’s The Green Hornet, Kick Ass to the »

Nicolas Cage To Star In ‘The Hungry Rabbit Jumps’

8 September 2009 9:05 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that just a few days after signing onto the 3D revenge film, Drive Angry, Nicolas Cage has signed on to star in the Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) thriller, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Add this to Drive Angry and Cage’s reported in-talks involvement with The Green Hornet, and the actor looks to have a busy time ahead of him.

Along with Donaldson directing, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps is written by Robert Tannen (Even Money), and will be produced by Tobey Maguire (through his Maguire Entertainment venture) and Jim Stern (through financier, Endgame). The film, which was picked up last year, sees Cage as a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. The shattered husband then gets entangled with an underground vigilante organization to (I assume) get revenge on those responsible.

 

If revenge is the road the film goes down, then The Hungry Rabbit Jumps »

Nicolas Cage Signs Up for Yet Another Movie

8 September 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

We previously posted an article wondering why Nicolas Cage was selling eight out of his eleven houses. We know that he has a $6 million IRS debt, but even one of those houses will bring in more than that. Many of you might have also noticed that Cage is taking starring roles in more projects than usual. While he previously averaged two films per year, he now has six movies lined up for 2010 and several more for 2011. That's more than what Samuel L. Jackson has going on. Just a week ago, we reported that Cage would star in a revenge thriller "Drive Angry," and it has now been announced that he has also boarded "The Hungry Rabbit Jumps," a thriller that Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) is directing. The Robert Tannen-written script centers on a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. He subsequently becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization. »

Cage gets Hungry

8 September 2009 1:20 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

Nic Cage is a busy little bee. He's in negotiations to star as the villain in The Green Hornet, recently signed on to star in Drive Angry and now is set to star in yet another film, Hungry Rabbit Jumps. The thriller would star Cage as the husband of a woman who is brutally victimized. Deadset on revenge, he joins an underground vigilante organization. Roger Donaldson, who directed the solid thriller The Bank Job, is set to direct for actor Tobey Maguire who is producing through his... »

Nic Cage Plays Vigilante In Hungry Rabbit Jumps

8 September 2009 12:11 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Nic Cage is doing a movie called Hungry Rabbit Jumps and, even though the title sounds like something based on an obscure children.s book, it.s a revenge-thriller. THR (which isn.t fooling anyone by registering geeky sounding domain names to randomly host some of its stories), says the Roger Donaldson directed movie casts Cage as a husband who becomes involved in an underground vigilante organization after his wife is the victim of a brutal crime. Donaldson.s last gig was the well regarded Jason Statham movie The Bank Job. Before that he received even more critical acclaim as director of The World.s Fastest Indian. Probably, this isn.t going to be a typical, horrible Nic Cage movie. Still, I prefer my vigilantes in the loan avenger model. Vigilantism just isn.t as fun when it.s turned into an ultra-violent, neighborhood watch. Now Nic Cage will be »

Nic Cage to Front Vigilante Thriller The Hungry Rabbit Jumps

7 September 2009 10:40 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

In his continued quest to star in 5 out of every 10 movies currently being made by Hollywood (it’s actually a pretty sound strategy; even if 4 of his 5 movies bomb, he’ll have at least 1 hit, right?), Nicolas Cage has attached himself to yet another movie, this time the Tobey Maguire-produced “The Hungry Rabbit Jumps”, a film with Roger Donaldson (”The Bank Job”) already onboard to direct. Originally, it was assumed Maguire would star, but that appears to have fallen by the wayside, and Spidey will now just produce the film with Cage fronting it. THR’s Heat Vision Blog says Cage will star as a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime, leading him to become involved with an underground vigilante organization. The object is to get revenge, one assumes, though since the film was previously described as being in the vein of David Fincher’s »

Nicolas Cage Books 'Hungry Rabbit Jumps' and 'Drive Angry'

7 September 2009 9:34 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

I'll be the first to admit that Nicolas Cage might actually be making a comeback. I saw Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant earlier today with Cage, and although he was very over the top, he was hilarious (in a good way). He's also got Kick-Ass coming up, which could help him out. THR's Heat Vision blog has announced tonight that Cage has joined the cast of The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, a thriller to be directed by The Bank Job director Roger Donaldson. The script, written by Robert Tannen, centers on a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. He subsequently becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization. "In the best of the Hitchcockian tradition, we've got a character who's offered the chance for vengeance and he finds himself in over his head," producer Jim Stern said of The Hungry Rabbit Jumps.

Jason Statham to Star in Blitz

13 July 2009 11:40 AM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

Jason Statham is in final negotiations to star in Blitz. Lionsgate U.K. is developing the project, which is an adaptation of Ken Bruen's bestseller of the same name about a serial killer targeting police officers. The London-set thriller will see Statham play a tough, uncompromising cop assigned the task of tracking down the killer. Paddy Considine, whose credits include Hot Fuzz and The Bourne Ultimatum, will play Statham’s partner. Elliott Lester (Love Is the Drug) is directing from a screenplay by Nathan Parker, who previously wrote the screenplay for Duncan Jones’ indie sci-fi thriller Moon. Blitz will be Lionsgate U.K.'s first British project since it announced its plans to beef up its local production last year. It will also mark the first collaboration between Statham and Lionsgate U.K. since last year's The Bank Job, which was a hit at the international box office. Statham, »
