Valkyrie:

Tom Cruise heads an international cast as Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, the aristocratic German officer who led the heroic attempt to bring down the Nazi regime and end the war by planting a bomb in Hitler's bunker. The "July 20 Plot" on Hitler's life is one of the most heroic but least known episodes of World War Two. Severely wounded in combat, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg returns from Africa to join the German Resistance and help create Operation Valkyrie, the complex plan that will allow a shadow government to replace Hitler's once he is dead. But fate and circumstance conspire to thrust Stauffenberg from one of many in the plot to a double-edged central role. Not only must he lead the coup and seize control of his nation's government... He must k*ll Hitler himself.

 

The boys in the pic from left to right are Carl Goerdeler (McNally), Albrecht Riter Merz von Quirnheim (Berkel), General Friedrich Olbricht (Nighy), Count Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (Cruise), General Ludwig Beck (Stamp), Field Marshal Erwin von Witzleben (Schofield) and Henning von Tresckow (Branagh).

Batman 3:

Rumor has it that not only will Heath Ledger be back as The Joker for the inevitable third "Batman" film, but another famed character is coming with him. As previously established by the filmmakers, Two-Face will serve as the main villain in the third Bat film and the transformation of Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) into the villain looks likely to take place late in events in "The Dark Knight." Now comes this report that unlike many a Bat-villain before him, The Joker will apparently survive the events of "The Dark Knight" and will make an appearance in the third film (much like talk of Cillian Murphy's The Scarecrow from "Batman Begins" making an appearance in "The Dark Knight").

 

Even more exciting than the idea that we may get the Joker in more than one movie is the identity of another villain who may be in Batman 3. According to rumors, “it could also include a certain female feline as well.” Bear in mind that the script for Batman 3 hasn’t been written yet, so it’s all just talk at this stage. But if this really is something Nolan is kicking around for a future Batman project, then don’t be surprised to see a few hints at the future arrival of Catwoman in The Dark Knight.

 

 

 

Street Fighter:

Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom have signed action specialist Andrzej Bartkowiak to direct Street Fighter, a live-action feature film based on Capcom's video game. Production is set to begin early next year with Fox distributing. Hyde Park's Ashok Amritraj and Patrick Aiello are producing while Capcom executive produces. The film is focused on female fighter Chun Li and her journey for justice. Justin Marks wrote the script and is currently doing a polish.

 

 

 

A Tale of Two Sisters (remake):

Based on the Kim Jee-Woon's 2003 Korean horror film of the same name, the story revolves around two sisters who return home to their father after spending time in a mental institution. Their recovery is hindered by their cruel stepmother's (Banks) obsessiveness and an interfering ghost.

The Duchess:

Ralph Fiennes, Hayley Atwell and Dominic Cooper have joined Keira Knightley in the cast of Saul Dibb's "The Duchess,".

With Knightley as Georgiana, Fiennes will play her husband, the Duke of Devonshire, with Cooper as her lover Earl Grey and Atwell as her best friend, Lady Bess Foster.

 

 

 

Tron:

Variety announced that Steven Lisberger signed a deal to produce Soul Code for independent studio Reliant Pictures. Lisberger, the writer and director of the cult classic Tron, developed the project with IGN hostess Jessica Chobot, and plans to direct from his own script. Soul Code follows the story of a technology pioneer who designs a program to download personal memories from the human brain. After the designer creates the program, an older woman's memory is placed into the body of a much younger woman.

 

 

 

I, Claudius:

Robert Graves' epic historical novel I, Claudius -- which was previously turned into an Emmy-winning 1976 BBC miniseries -- will make the leap to the big-screen courtesy of producers Scott Rudin and Alison Owen, the duo behind the forthcoming film adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl. According to rumors, Leonardo DiCaprio is mulling the project and may become attached to star. William Monahan, who won an Oscar for the DiCaprio starrer The Departed, is expected to sign on to pen the screenplay adaptation.

 

 

 

Traitor:

Jeff Daniels and Neal McDonough have joined the cast of Traitor starring Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce. The espionage thriller centers on a former U.S. Special Forces operative who's aiding terrorists, although it's unclear where his loyalties actually lie. Archie Panjabi, Alyy Kahn and Said Taghmaoui have also joined the cast. Jeffrey Nachmanoff will direct his own script with production getting underway today here in Toronto.

Maguire, WB attack the big screen with 'Robotech'

 

 

 

TORONTO -- After slipping on a mask for Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire might be slipping into a giant robot for "Robotech."

 

After a lengthy negotiation, Warner Bros. Pictures has picked up the rights to bring anime classic "Robotech," which featured giant robots known as mechas, to the big screen. Maguire is producing through his Maguire Entertainment banner and is eyeing the lead role in what the studio plans on being a tentpole sci-fi franchise.

 

"We are very excited to bring 'Robotech' to the big screen," Maguire said. "There is a rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film."

 

Drew Crevello also is producing through his Supercool Hollywood BigTime Prods. Craig Zahler ("The Brigands of Rattleborge") has been tapped to write the screenplay.

 

"Robotech" was a cartoon series during the 1980s from Harmony Gold USA and Tatsunoko Prods. It was re-edited and re-dialogued to combine three Japanese anime series to give the producers enough episodes to air as a daily syndicated series.

 

A sprawling sci-fi epic, "Robotech" takes place at a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific isle. Mankind is forced to use the technology to fend off three successive waves of alien invasions. The first invasion concerns a battle with a race of giant warriors who seek to retrieve their flagship's energy source known as "protoculture," and the planet's survival ends up in the hands of two young pilots.

 

Frank Agrama of rights-holder Harmony Gold will exec produce; Jason Netter will serve in a producer capacity.

 

Matthew Reilly brought the project to Warners and is overseeing. Daniel Shafer brought the project to Maguire and will shepherd for the company.

 

The success of DreamWorks/Paramount's $311 million-grossing "Transformers" has other studios looking to assemble a giant robot movie of their own. Last month, Regency picked up 1980s Japanese anime series "Voltron," with Mark Gordon attached to produce. Ironically, Warners had the first giant robot movie back in 1999: Brad Bird's animated feature "The Iron Giant."

 

Maguire is repped by CAA, Management 360 and attorney Steve Warren. Zahler is repped by UTA and attorney P.J. Shapiro.

Michael Bay Originally Attached to Todd McFarlane's Oz?

 

 

A couple weeks ago we told you that Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Pictures bought the rights to make a movie based on Todd McFarlane's revisionist take on L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz will be titled "OZ". Well, IGN spoke with McFarlane about the new movie project and it was revealed that Michael Bay was originally somehow attached to the project.

 

"I came up with this huge, massive Lord of the Rings epic. It actually got fairly tight and succinct.""We actually went in there and for a while had Michael Bay going around with me pitching it," revealed McFarlane. "We had props, visuals, toys, storyboards, posters… I made little models of the city. I think it overwhelmed them. They said that they needed 20 minutes for a pitch and I was like, 'I need at least an hour and fifteen. I'm going to act out this whole movie and show you the whole thing because this movie is going to cost at least $140 million to make. I don't want you to not know what you're buying.'"

 

It took a long while until one of the movie studios actually bit. And McFarlane also says that the movie will probably be a lot lighter than the original concept seen in the action figure line.

 

"If you're asking someone for $140 million, they're completely the client. So you get to this moment in life where… they're not making the movie exactly that I would have made, but they're making something. And you have to go is that something better than, even if you had the power to insist it your way, not making it," he explained. "There are those moments where you just have to compromise a bit and go this is a collaborative effort and here's what the studio wants. It is dark and moody, but it's always been a PG-13 movie. You might not see that in the toys because the toys weren't built with that PG-13 in mind. The bondage Dorothy, in my pitch, is literally an eight second scene. Just one scene of her in that."

 

"There's a lot of money on the table and they have to get what they want, but that said, we've seen a marked movement in films with The Grudge, The Ring and The Lord of the Rings. Those are PG-13 movies, but to me they're right up against that R edge in terms of tonality. So you can still do dark and do PG-13. In three years, if we ever make it, whoever's in charge at that point will have much more control than I will. I'll be there as a producer and have my input, but I'll just cross my fingers."

 

A History of Violence screenwriter Josh Olsen is working on the script. I'm very excited about this project, I hope that the studio doesn't soften the tone that much. I think an R-Rated version of OZ would be more appealing just in the fact that it would be completely different from the original tale. The closer you get to PG, the closer the story will probably resemble the original stories. I wish we lived in a world where it was more important to create something creative and original, and not just something that will sell to the mass audiences. I would have loved to see a R-Rated Michael Bay version of the Wizard of Oz. But I'm probably in the minority.

JLA Movie Begins Casting...in Canada???

 

ObsessedwithFilm is reporting that casting has begun on the Justice League of America movie in New York, Vancourver and Toronto. Warner Bros have hired casting directors Susan Shopmaker (The Holiday, Mean Girls), Michelle Allen (Dead Like Me) and RDC Casting (The Shipping News), and sides have been posted for multiple roles on an industry audition site Showfax. However, the roles are all listed under vague codenames like “Male Option #1″, and the actual sides available to subscribers are actually scenes taken from Sidney Lumet’s Networ, Rob Reiner’s Few Good Men, and Gus Van Sant’s Good Will Hunting. You can see some of the sides here, here and here. Thanks to green of the SHH forums and moviehole for the info.

 

Having two of the casting offices in Canada seems to indicate that some (or much) of the filming may take place up north. Vancouver also happens to be the same place where Smallville tapes, which may further fuel the rumors of Tom Welling playing Superman (despite public denials from bough Alfred Gough and Welling’s management).

Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods Spy Photos

 

The Genre Project aka Indiana Jones 4 aka Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods is, as you already know, currently back in Los Angeles filming the remaining portions of the film. The production is sprawling, landing at most all of the studios in and around Los Angeles. Downey Studios, Sony Studios, Universal Studios, and Warner Brothers Studios.

 

I bring to you folks today some of what I could gather. First, Universal Studios. Yes, the South American temple is definitively for Indy/Genre. They were shooting exterior day scenes with a large blue screen this past Wednesday.

 

 

(the large white screen is used for diffusion, representing cloud cover, foliage cover, etc.)

 

 

During this period of filming, they had a production move to a parking lot near Falls Lake on the back lot. In this photo, take a look at the lower left hand corner of the picture, yes, that's Karen Allen walking away (feel free to match up her costume with the photograph on the official site).

 

 

Next up, on to Mexico Street. I don't have the most amazing photos, but think of it as the Cairo street meets HBO's Deadwood, it's very tight, cluttered, and dirty - in short, it's an amazing set from a production design standpoint (but I think we're all getting the feeling that every set is a labor of love from Guy Hendrix Dyas [he also did Sperman Returns, X-Men 2, and the Brothers Grimm]).

 

 

 

Next we head back over to the Falls Lake location. Located here are two large wave machines, a staircase leading somewhere (I won't spoil that for you), and an unpainted cave-like entrance. Looks like they'll be doing some pick-up/stunts shots continuing the Russian amphibious vehicle, the GAZ46, stunt. In the following photo you can see multiple GAZ46s awaiting action.

 

 

 

They also were prepping/touching up some Russian transport vehicles to be shot soon.

 

 

And lastly, a wide shot for you.

 

 

Notice the staicase set there...are those booby traps that might come down around Indiana Jones & Company?

Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods Spy Photos (cont.)

 

Heading across the Los Angeles river over to Warner Brothers, here's where it gets a little interesting. The Genre Project is going to be shooting on Stage 16, and it's under extremely tight security. Apparentely they've been there for a long time constructing sets, however they'll only be there for about three days of filming. And yes, it looks like the interior of the South American temple. The sets are huge. And there may be more than one. Temple, that is. Or is there? The property department at Warner Brothers has a few items tucked away in the back with Genre hold cards on them... but they're Egyptian artifacts, and the location is listed as; "Ante Chamber." It's been rumored that the Deming, New Mexico location was used to stand in for Morocco, but no photos have appeared from that location. So are these to be put into a set that's a continuation of that location, or are these to be found in th South American Temple, and if so; "What you say!?" Exciting stuff, no?

Magneto:

The new script will apparently be bookended by current-day scenes of Magneto and Professor X (played by McKellan and Patrick Stewart, most likely), and then skitter back through the decades to tell of young Erik's experimentation at the hands of the evil Nazis, the later murder of his wife and child, and his eventual quest for revenge against the war criminals. Generally speaking, he's bitter. Goyer is currently scouting locations and working out the budget on the origin movie, which will potentially have appearances by Mystique and Victor Creed/Sabretooth, who also plays a significant role in the WOLVERINE solo movie. Both films may carry the subtitle of X-MEN ORIGINS.

 

 

 

John Rambo:

The fourth Rambo movie is set in Thailand, where a group of Christian aid workers recruit John Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma (aka Myanmar). When the missionaries fail to return, Rambo is persuaded to take a group of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to find them. What follows is a descent into hell on earth.

 

Check out the new clip:

Righteous k*ll:

Righteous k*ll follows two detectives (Al Pacino and Robert De Niro) on the trail of a murderer, trying to solve the case and resolve some issues they have. The movie co-stars Carla Gugino, Donnie Wahlberg, 50 Cent and John Leguizamo. It's directed by Jon Avnet and is pretty much guaranteed to be phenomenal.

Seven Pounds:

Will Smith is set to reunite with his Pursuit of Happyness director Gabriele Muccino as the two are set to bring the drama Seven Pounds to the big screen.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:

 

The title was announced by Shia LaBeouf during this evening's telecast of the MTV Video Music Awards. MTV parent company Viacom also owns Paramount Pictures who will be releasing the movie next summer. LaBeouf will star alongside Harrison Ford in the movie. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull also stars Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Ray Winstone, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent.

 

The crystal skulls turn out to be alien skulls, underneath a Mayan or Aztec pyramid that takes off and thus reveals itself to be a mothership of sorts.
