I can’t say I had much interest in the adaptation of ENDER’S GAME, probably because I’m not that familiar with the story, but also because I keep hearing how hard it’s going to be to bring to the big screen. But maybe it’s the nice special effects or the joy of seeing Harrison Ford back [...]
Ben Kingsley is looking spectacular as the tattood face of Mazer Rackham in THE ENDER’S GAME. His character is the one who trains Ender as a boy, much like an Obi Wan Kenobi type. The science fiction film should be a good dose of excitement as it comes out during the start of the more [...]
Looks like Amber Heard’s career may be taking a giant leap forward in 2013. Previously we’ve seen the young starlet in so-so films like THE RUM DIARY, DRIVE ANGRY and even in a small role in ZOMBIELAND, but next year Amber Heard is breaking out and doing films like MACHETE KILLS, PARANOIA and the upcoming [...]
One of my most anticipated films of 2013 is ENDER’S GAME, based on the book by Orson Scott Card. If you are a sci-fi fan or book lover in general this is one of those that you should queue up immediately at your library or on your electronic reader. The story follows a young boy [...]
Hailee Steinfeld is one of those young actresses that you expect to be big because of her turn in the film TRUE GRIT which earned her an Academy Award nomination, but you are still wary because she hasn’t had another film come out since that one in 2010. She has several movies coming up that [...]
A little movie that has been flying under the radar is probably one we should all keep an eye out for as it has some potential to be fantastic due to the star power. Kristen Wiig, Hailee Steinfeld, Guy Pearce and Nick Nolte will all be starring in the film HATESHIP, FRIENDSHIP which is based [...]
Since young actress Hailee Steinfeld gave a fantastic performance in 2010′s TRUE GRIT, we have yet to see her in any other film though she has signed on to several. Next year we’ll see Hailee Steinfeld in CAN A SONG SAVE YOUR LIFE?, ENDER’S GAME and possibly ROMEO AND JULIET, so since she’s still lining [...]
Looks like the upcoming romantic musical from director John Carney (ONCE) has had a little casting change the last couple of days. Originally Scarlett Johansson was set to play the female lead opposite her THE AVENGERS co-star Mark Ruffalo, but she has left (most likely due to scheduling changes) and has been replaced by the [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Little Abigail Breslin has grown up so quickly. After wowing audiences in LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, the young actress has grown up right before our very eyes, culminating in the recent NEW YEAR’S EVE. Now the actress is set to take on major blockbusters with a starring role in ENDER’S GAME. And [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Ever since Hailee Steinfeld got the lead role in the remake of TRUE GRIT, she’s been one of the most wanted teen actresses in Hollywood. The last movie she was up for that I can remember was THE HUNGER GAMES. That role ultimately went to Jennifer Lawrence but it’s still a [...]

TRUE GRIT star Hailee Steinfeld is already on board as one part of the star-crossed lover duo and Holly [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Oscar winner (it’s been a while, but it’s true) Holly Hunter has lined up a couple of film projects to keep her busy when she’s not filming ‘Saving Grace’. First up for Ms. Hunter is the drama STILL I RISE about a couple of parents that team up to improve the [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Hailee Steinfeld is in talks to take on the classic William Shakespeare play ROMEO & JULIET for indie director Carlo Carlie. If she signs on, this would be Steinfeld’s first role since her breakout performance in last year’s Academy Award nominated film TRUE GRIT. The adaptation is being written by Julian [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant The fairy tale craze lives on for at least a few more years as today we find out that there’s not one, but two SLEEPING BEAUTY films on the horizon. The first will be from Disney to be called MALEFICENT with rumors that Tim Burton will direct and Angelina Jolie may [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant It seems like we’ve posted over 100 stories about possible casting news for the upcoming HUNGER GAMES, but as much as we’ve reported rumors, we still don’t have any facts. But all indications that the film will star Alex Pettyfer in the male lead and Jennifer Lawrence in the female lead. [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Even though we don’t think Alex Pettyfer has the makings to be a huge box office movie star yet, studios think differently as he’s currently in the running for the male lead, Peeta Mellark, in the upcoming franchise THE HUNGER GAMES. There have been at least thirty actresses that have read [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Director Gary Ross has a really tough decision ahead of him. He is taking on the adaptation of the wildly popular Suzanne Collins series THE HUNGER GAMES, and he has three actresses who could easily hold their own in the running. The story follows a dystopian society, where the United States [...]

Here’s a tip, when you get a role in your first major motion picture make sure your performance is Oscar worthy and you get nominated for an award. Easy enough, right? It worked for TRUE GRIT‘S Hailee Steinfeld and [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I know this is going to sound like sacrilege to some of you, but the Coen Brothers are not consistent. They make a lot of bad film (BURN AFTER READING, LADYKILLERS, etc.), but when they make a get it right, they really, really get it right. TRUE GRIT, despite being a [...]
