Oscar nominated filmmaker Jim Sheridan (”In America,” “My Left Foot,” “In the Name of the Father,” “The Boxer,” “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”) directed his new movie “Brothers” from the script written by David Benioff.
Anthony Hopkins Joins “Thor” as Odin
Anthony Hopkins has signed on to star in Marvel Studios’ upcoming adaptation of “Thor.”
Hopkins will play Odin, the king of Asgard and the father of Thor and Loki. Chris Hemsworth is playing Thor, Tom Hiddleston plays Loki and Natalie Portman – Jane Foster, his human love interest.
In the film, Thor’s arrogance and recklessness re-ignite an ancient war, so he’s cast out of Asgard and down to Earth. There, as his human form Donald Blake, he meets a nurse named Jane Foster. When Loki comes to Earth Thor is forced to take up the hammer and fight him.
Stellan Skarsgård Joins “Thor”
Stellan Skarsgård will star in Marvel Studios’ “Thor” according to the man himself through Swedish news site Ystads Allehanda.
Stellan is not the only Skarsgård linked to this Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of the Marvel comic adaptation. In early 2009, his son Alexander Skarsgard was listed among the potential candidates to portray the titular character, Thor. However, the younger Skarsgard lost the role to Chris Hemsworth, the actor who portrays Captain Kirk’s father in 2009’s “Star Trek”.
Everything is still secret about the project and Skarsgård can not reveal what role he will play.
“They wanted me to sign without reading the script. That I refused to do. Then they sent one to me that was so coded that I could only print one copy,”
said Stellan Skarsgård to TT spectra.
Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore Join Thor
Director Kenneth Branagh has cast two more actors in his forthcoming Marvel Studios adaptation of “Thor.” According to THR, those actors are Jaimie Alexander (Kyle XY, Rest Stop) and Colm Feore (Chicago, 24, The Chronicles of Riddick).
They will join Chris Hemsworth, already cast as Thor; Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, the god of mischief who serves as the movie’s villain; and Natalie Portman is Thor’s human love, Jane Foster.
Alexander is set to play Thor’s Asgardian ally, the Lady Sif, who will vie for the Thunder God’s affections with the mortal Jane Foster (Portman). Feore’s character is shrouded in mystery — the studio isn’t even sending the actors the script — though it is known to be a villain.

Mila Kunis Joins Natalie Portman In “Black Swan”
Mila Kunis is in negotiations to star opposite Natalie Portman in Darren Aronofsky’s supernatural drama “Black Swan.”
The movie centers on a talented ballerina (Portman) in the New York City Ballet who is tormented by a rival who might or might not be a figment of the dancer’s imagination.
Kunis will play the rival, Lilly, with strange occurrences between the two increasing as they prepare for a big performance.
“Black Swan” is set to begin shooting in the fall in New York. Aronofksy’s Protozoa Pictures is producing with Mike Medavoy’s Phoenix Pictures.
Kunis, who broke out with her role as Jason Segel’s love interest in last year’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” next can be seen in Mike Judge’s comedy “Extract,” as Denzel Washington’s assassin-turned-ally in “The Book Of Eli” and alongside Tina Fey and Steve Carell in comedy romance “Date Night.”
Natalie Portman Joins Marvel’s Thor
Marvel announced today that Natalie Portman has been cast to star as Jane Foster in upcoming “Thor.” Foster, a nurse, was a character from the early comic book lore, and was Thor’s first love.
Portman will join Chris Hemsworth who’s playing the title role and Tom Hiddleston who is playing the villain Loki, the god of mischief.
Marvel Studios expands its film universe with a new type of superhero: Thor. This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
Kenneth Branagh (Sleuth, Hamlet, Frankenstein) is directing the movie from a screenplay by Ashley Miller (Agent Cody Banks), Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend, The Cell) and Zack Stentz (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).
Brothers HD Trailer
The trailer for “Brothers“, a compelling tale of how two brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood-and with the woman caught between them, is online.
Brothers | Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal
Synopsis: “Brothers” tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites. A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. When his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains Sam is presumed dead and the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void. Tommy tries to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children. In the grief and strangeness of their new lives, Grace and Tommy are naturally drawn together. Their longstanding frostiness dissolves, but both are frightened and ashamed of the mutual attraction that has replaced it.

But Sam is not dead; he and a fellow soldier have been captured by Taliban fighters. In Afghanistan’s harsh, remote Pamir Mountains, Sam is subjected to traumas that threaten to rob him of his very humanity. At the same time that Sam’s sense of self is being destroyed overseas, Tommy’s self-image is strengthening at home.
When Sam unexpectedly returns to the States, a nervous mood settles over the family. Sam, uncharacteristically withdrawn and volatile, grows suspicious of his brother and his wife. Their familiar roles now nearly reversed, Sam and Tommy end up facing the ultimate physical and mental challenge when they confront each other. In the shifting family dynamics, who will dominate?
