Ellen Page, "Inception"
It's one thing to make a whole new world with only your mind. It's another thing to survive that world. In "Inception," Ellen Page learned the hard way that sometimes dreams can turn into nightmares — and nightmares can turn into reality.

It's not always easy getting the audience's jaws to drop over the course of a movie, but some of this year's outings really kicked things up a notch or twelve.

Natalie Portman, "Black Swan"

Hugh JackmanWanted: An actress willing to rock out with Tom Cruise and an actor hoping to have a fairy tale experience with Kristen Stewart.

Hollywood could have very well posted a sign for that today, as two huge roles opened up yet again. After rumors that Hugh Jackman would be stepping in to play the Huntsman in "Snow White and the Huntsman" after Viggo Mortensen dropped out, The Wrap put the kibosh on that reporting that the star won't take the part. Kristen Stewart is still in negotiations to play Snow White in the film.

Meanwhile, "Rock of Ages" may have picked up Russell Brand, they lost Amy Adams, according to Deadline. The actress, who already has a bevy of projects lined up, including the "Superman" and "Muppets" reboots, would have played Cruise's love interest in the 80's music Broadway extravaganza.

Check out the rest of Thursday's (April 14) biggest casting news, including Ellen Page signing on for Woody Allen's latest.

Anne HathawayCasting rumors have abounded over the past week for the upcoming action-adventure flick "Snow White and the Huntsman," but surprisingly none of those have involved who might portray the titular Snow White. As of today, Johnny Depp is rumored to be up for the role of the Huntsman and Charlize Theron is being eyeballed to play the evil queen Ravenna, who's trying to kill Snow White. But there hasn't been a question as to who might potentially play the girl with skin as white as snow, lips as red as a rose, and hair black as ebony.

Well, we're raising that question now. In this edgy version of the Brothers Grimm tale, Snow White not only has to be an innocent princess, but also has to turn into a total badass who, after being trained by the Huntsman, goes to get her revenge on Ravenna. We'll get to the guy who will be playing her Prince Charmant (yes, Charmant... not Charming) at a later date; for now, here are our suggestions for who'd make a kick-ass (literally) Snow White.

We’ve all been burned by straight-to-DVD premieres promising big floating heads of familiar faces, edgy subject matter and an intriguing plot (Damn you, “Search & Destroy”!). Now, a new movie featuring cover box art of Cillian Murphy, Susan Sarandon and Ellen Page has hit video shelves with a truly shocking twist: It’s actually good.

So good, in fact, that super-producer Barry Mendel believes that his lead actor deserves an Oscar nomination. “I mean, it’s one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen in my life,” the “Rushmore” and “Sixth Sense” producer said of the thriller, which casts Murphy in a “Psycho”-esque dual role. “I have not been involved in a better performance in any of the films I’ve done.” Read More...

See the supple-faced chick down below? Well look again, because that ain't no chick. To wit, it's erstwhile "Batman Begins" star Cillian Murphy, who stars in "Peacock," a psychological thriller about a man whose feminine side is exposed to the town...except they think it's his wife, Emma. Through the rest of the film, Murphy struggles to keep his secret from his neighbors, being both man and woman in this solo relationship.

"Juno" star Ellen Page co-stars as a single mother who discover his secret, with Susan Sarandon, Bill Pullman and Josh Lucas rounding out the cast. "Peacock" hits DVD April 20, and you can get a first look in our exclusive trailer down below (click here for HD).

Director Michel Gondry is down at South By Southwest right now promoting his documentary "The Thorn in His Heart," which offers a highly personal look at his family. MTV's Josh Horowitz snagged a few minutes to chat with him, and he asked if Gondry would like to follow up "The Green Hornet" with something similarly epic in its scale.

"I'd like to do a movie of this size with my own story, which would be quite amazing. But we'll see," he said. "I'm developing a screenplay with a writer right now about kids who travel [into] the future by mistake and a machine [that] keeps people younger... ehhh, it's complicated to explain." Read More...

Parents, it is popularly thought, do not understand. This sentiment has been a constant running throughout human history, but it seems like parents have understood even less in the past century. It’s been 60 years since the word teenager was first coined, and parental understanding has just gotten murkier since. What the hell is their problem anyway, trying to instill you with their personal system of values? It’s BS and we all know it is. This is why it’s necessary to rebel!

Doing something dangerous is usually a successful strategy for rebelling against parental authority. Bliss Cavendar, as played by Ellen Page in this week’s “Whip It!,” knows a good thing in the sport of roller derby when she sees it. Your mom trying to get you into the beauty pageant scene? Then try a sport that involves knocking people in roller skates down while moving at high speed; it's a great way to say "no thank you" to your legal guardian’s quest to keep you down. It helps that roller derby is awesome and closely associated with punk rock, so your rebellion is doubled!

But hey, roller derby may not be your thing. There are alternatives though! For example, you could… Read More...

Please excuse the delay in running this week's Box Office Poll. I experienced some technical difficulties when working from home yesterday, so I put this post off for today. What a week we're in for movies. I don't know about y'all, but every wide release that opens is on my list as well as a fair few of the limited releases. So let's get to it.

Tough to say what the big one for the week is going to be. I think the top contender -- though not necessarily by a wide margin -- is "Zombieland," a comedy-horror flick starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. As a zombie apocalypse sweeps across the world, the foursome set out on a cross-country trip to... well I'm not entirely sure. They kill lots of zombies though. Read More...
