Kevin Spacey Playing Jack Abramoff in Biopic
Kevin Spacey will star in the true story thriller “Casino Jack” where he will play Jack Abramoff, American former lobbyist, businessman and con man who was a central figure in a series of high-profile political scandals.

Brand New Trailer and Poster For Sam Rockwell’s “Moon”
Sony Picture Classics has debuted new trailer and poster for Duncan Jones‘ “Moon,” which debuted a few months back at the Sundance Film Festival.
The film revolves around Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell), who is nearing the end of his contract with Lunar. He’s been a faithful employee for 3 long years. His home has been Selene, a moon base where he has spent his days alone, mining Helium 3. The precious gas holds the key to reversing the Earth’s energy crisis.
Isolated, determined and steadfast, Sam has followed the rulebook obediently and his time on the moon has been enlightening, but uneventful. The solitude has given him time to reflect on the mistakes of his past and work on his raging temper. He does his job mechanically, and spends most of his available time dreaming of his imminent return to Earth, to his wife, young daughter and an early retirement.

Kevin Spacey – Interview
DarkHorizons.com interviewed Kevin Spacey about his new film titled “21” and during the interview asked him about returning as Lex Luthor in the next Superman movie.
Question: Was it this character, or this book that appealed to you?
Spacey: Well, it started with the story. I always thought that this story would be right for a film, and my business partner, Dana Brunetti, who, with a co-producer, we’d started hearing rumours about this, about a decade ago, and could never find any real evidence about it. It was sort of like an open secret in Boston, but we couldn’t get anybody on the record about it, and we even tried to write a treatment at one point, and that ended up in a drawer. And then about five years ago, Dana was walking down a New York City street, and he saw a Wired magazine with the cover story, “The MIT students who went to Vegas and made millions.” pulled it off the stands, and called me. Then, we ultimately tracked down Ben Mezrich, who’d written the article, and it was in connection with this book, which was going to come out about a month or two later, then at some point, made it to Los Angeles, and they optioned the book, and then we sold it to MGM, but didn’t know at that moment that, behind closed doors, MGM was being sold. So we went into a kind of holding pattern, until finally, Sony looked at the slate that MGM had, and decided to pull two movies out; one was James Bond, and the other was ours. And here we are, lo and behold, all these years later.
