Werner Herzog As Villain in ONE SHOT Starring Tom Cruise
Well, here’s something strange. Of all the people in the world, writer and director Werner Herzog is set to play the villain in the upcoming Christopher McQuarrie’s adaptation of Lee Child‘s novel One Shot.
We already wrote so much about this project, but that doesn’t mean we have no write to be confused with this decision. Right?
Herzog is without a doubt a great guy. And he will be great in the role of an ex-prisoner of war who arranges and stages the killing and is the head of the conspiracy – character named The Zec.

Today we have a new trailer, 15 hi-res photos and poster for “Seven Days In Utopia”, starring Academy Award winners Robert Duvall and Melissa Leo, and produced by Academy Award winner Mark Mathis (Precious).

Billy Bob Thornton Sets Cast for his Jayne Mansfield’s Car
Ok guys, here’s something great and we want your full attention! Jayne Mansfield’s Car is an upcoming Billy Bob Thornton‘s project that will have an awesome cast.
And when we say that, we actually mean that Robert Duvall is already on board, and that, according to the latest reports, John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Robert Patrick, Ray Stevenson and John Patrick Amedori are about to join him as well!
Thornton co-wrote the whole thing with his writing partner Tom Epperson, and, at this moment we know that Jayne Mansfield’s Car is actually “a comedy with dramatic overtone that revolves around the culture clash of two families, from different continents, in 1969.”
At least, that’s how guys from Deadline describe the whole thing.
Dakota Fanning Joins Mississippi Wild, Mickey Rourke, Robert Duvall, Forest Whitaker in Talks
Dakota Fanning and Ryan Donowho have joined the cast of the upcoming Jesse Baget‘s indie thriller titled Mississippi Wild.
But that’s not all, because we just learned that Mickey Rourke, Robert Duvall and Forest Whitaker are in negotiations to co-star in the whole thing and that’s what makes this project quite interesting.
Fanning would play girlfriend to Donowho and together they are teens on the run after stealing some jewelry that belonged to a local gangster.
Robert Duvall to Star in Billy Bob Thorton’s Jayne Mansfield’s Car
I really have a problem to imagine Billy Bob Thornton directing something described as “another Southern tale,” but who am I to have any doubts about his work, especially now, when Robert Duvall has announced that he’ll be in the film?
Yeah, you read that correctly, so you better get ready for the upcoming Jayne Mansfield’s Car movie!
In an interview with EW, Robert Duvall said:
“It’s another Southern tale. It puts Tennessee Williams in the back seat – it’s that brilliant… It’s about a guy in between WWI and WWII who raises a family after his wife left him for an Englishman and moved to England…
When the wife dies, she asks to be brought back to Alabama to be buried, and at that point the character hasn’t seen her in 20 or 30 years. The two families – her original family she abandoned and her English family – meet and then things get really interesting.”

Don Quixote leaps into life in this bold and high-spirited comedy. Don Quixote. Eternal optimist. Madman. Knight. A noble soul who never lets truth get in the way of a great story. Toby.
Ewan McGregor In The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, that’s some nice title of the upcoming project by director Terry Gilliam. You liked the idea of Johnny Depp in the leading role? Yeah, we liked that too. But that was about… ten years ago?
Yes, 2000 original, aborted version, exactly. And now, we have information that Ewan McGregor will replace him. Next best thing? Well, he could be just the perfect guy for this kind of role, we’ll see…
