'Terminator 5' Finds A New Leader And 'Dark Shadows' Snags A Release Date In Today's Dailies

Posted 5/13/11 5:41 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Dailies

The biggest news to come out of Cannes today concerns our future: specifically, the post apocalyptic "Terminator" series is going indie.

Or, at least it's been purchased by "indie savior" Megan Ellison, who Deadline is estimating spent around $20 million to acquire the rights to the "Terminator" franchise. Considering that Ellison's Annapruna Films is behind Kathryn Bigelow's "Kill Bin Laden" and Paul T. Anderson's next picture, her involvement is nothing but good news for the developing "Terminator" sequel.

In the news after the jump, "Dark Shadows" gets a release date, a major star stays on board for "Rock of Ages" and the first shot of Bruce Willis in Rian Johnson's "Looper" hits the web.

Vin Diesel Wants An Oscar For 'Fast Five' And Darren Aronofsky Goes To The Future In Today's Dailies

Posted 5/10/11 5:20 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Dailies

"Fast Five" is a lot of things: it's fast, it's furious and it's… Oscar worthy?

Vin Diesel certainly seems to think so, at least. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the "Fast Five" star said he "wouldn't be surprised if there is some Oscar talk around" the latest "Furious" film. "Sooner or later, people are gonna say, 'Wait a minute, just because they are for the working class doesn't mean they're not great.'" That's Vin's take, but what do you think? Is "Fast Five" deserving of an Oscar, or is it just a straight-up crowd pleaser?

Despite rumors to the contrary, "Hanna" star Saoirse Ronan is not headed to Middle-Earth.

Saoirse Ronan Abducted By 'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer's 'The Host' In Today's Dailies

Posted 5/3/11 4:19 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Dailies

Saoirse Ronan If one person's going to represent the dwindling human race in the face of an alien invasion, we could do far worse than "Hanna."

Our friends at Hollywood Crush report that Saoirse Ronan, who took on the title role in this year's awesome action flick "Hanna," is set to star in "The Host," based on a novel from "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer. Ronan would play Melanie Ryder, one of the last survivors of the invading Souls, an alien species that can possess human bodies. Melanie comes under the possession of Wanderer, but the strong-willed teenager refuses to surrender her consciousness and the two form a bond in the process.

There's plenty more news out there today beyond Ronan's latest role. After the jump, we've got an update on "Kill Bin Laden" and a follow-up to our report on Christoph Waltz's status in Quentin Tarantino's new movie.
