‘Red’ Adds More Award-Winning Actors To Cast

13 November 2009 9:46 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

We haven’t been keeping enough tabs on the adaptation of Red, based on the comic book mini-series created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner and published by DC/Wildstorm between 2003-2004. The film adaptation first popped onto our radar when action man Bruce Willis signed-on to star, followed soon after by the news that acclaimed actor Morgan Freeman would be joining Willis . Completing the trifecta of acting heavyweights, last week we heard that Helen Mirren was onboard for Red; that’s three Golden Globe and/or Oscar-winners coming together for an obscure comic book flick! Crazy, right?

Well it gets even crazier, as we now have more famous names to add to the cast list of Red… Last week news broke that Mary Louise Parker (Weeds) and John C. Reily were in talks for the film, and today we learn  (thanks to Collider) that they will be joined by »

Casting Tidbits: Alan Cumming, Zach Galifianakis & Many More

5 November 2009 9:36 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Casting Tidbits Activate! First up, THR reports that Zach Galifianakis is continuing his hot hiring streak, but this time only his voice will be needed as he's entered negotiations to provide the voice for Humpty Dumpty in the Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots at DreamWorks Animation. He joins Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in a story about the events leading up to the feline assassin's first meeting with Shrek in the second installment of the DreamWorks franchise. Chris Miller (Shrek the Third) will be directing from Tom Wheeler's script, but I'm hoping that there's still some remnants of Brian Lynch's earlier draft of the script. Red Just yesterday Helen Mirren joined up with Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis in the Robert Schwentke directed espionage thriller, and today THR's Heat Vision reports John C. Reilly (Step Brothers) and Mary-Louise Parker (of Showtime's "Weeds") are also set to join them. »

28 October 2009 7:43 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

The Twitter-Wood feed assembled after the jump is the fine work of Mr. Brian Warmoth, but he seems to have disappeared before finishing the evening's intro bump. So you're stuck with me, @geminibros, your friendly neighborhood MTV Movies Blog editor.

I may not have Brian's panache, but I can still fill you in on what's shaking in the Twitter-Wood today. Rob Zombie just wrapped up the audio commentary for the director's cut of "Halloween II," "Harry Potter" star Tom Felton decided on his Halloween costume -- I wholeheartedly approve -- and "Shaun of the Dead" writer/director Edgar Wright saw the Coen brothers' new one, "A Serious Man." I wholeheartedly approve of that as well. Meanwhile, Brian Lynch has the real scoop on the next "Spider-Man" villain and Sarah Silverman shares a downright baffling twitpic. Also, Tyrese Gibson shares his very special moment with Michael Jackson, clinching himself the top »

92YTribeca: Against the Current

16 October 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »

This year marks the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's exploration of 'his' river, and Peter Callahan's film Against the Current certainly functions as a stirring tribute to the stunning radiance and history of the river and the Hudson Valley. In what is essentially a three-hander starring Joseph Fiennes (currently in ABC's FlashForward), Elizabeth Reaser (a great actress when she's not playing Robert Pattinson's vampire Mom, Esme, in Twilight and New Moon), and Justin Kirk, (who you love on Weeds). The film starts when Fiennes' Paul Thompson decides he is going to accomplish one thing in his life, and that's swimming the length of the Hudson, from Troy, NY, to the Verrezano Bridge. His best friend Jeff Kane (Kirk), a bartender/aspiring actor, and Liz Clarke (Reaser), a schoolteacher, are along for the (very long) boat ride. And Mary Tyler Moore and Michelle Trachtenberg show up in small roles. »
