'Dark Knight Rises' Actress Offered 'Arthur & Lancelot'

Posted 12/2/11 1:23 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News

Depending upon whether you're a bigger fan of film or television, Marion Cotillard could be the biggest name actor to come to Warner Bros' upcoming "Arthur & Lancelot."

The Academy Award-winning actress has been offered the role of Arthur's sorceress half-sister Morgana, according to Vulture. They're saying that she is now officially in the Warner Bros clubhouse thanks to her roles in "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises," which is likely why she's getting first pick at the role.

Cotillard would be joining "Game of Thrones's" Kit Harrington and "The Killing's" Joel Kinnaman as the titular Arthur and Lancelot.

Seth Rogen Won't Be In 'Knocked Up' Spinoff, Will Shoot 'Apocalypse' Next Year

Posted 9/8/11 11:43 am EST by Josh Wigler in Casting Call

If you were still holding out hope that Seth Rogen would be a part of Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up" spinoff, it's time to give it up.

"I'm not in it," he tells Movies.com, saying that his involvement would be a bit jarring for the audience. "It was a good choice, honestly, because I think it would've confused people … But I'm really looking forward to seeing it; I thought the script was unbelievably funny."

He adds that the long-developing survival horror comedy "Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse" will start shooting this February.

'Dark Knight Rises' Casting, 'Terminator' Skynet and Olivia Wilde Love Scenes in Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/20/11 1:27 pm EST by Travis Helwig in Twitter-Wood

We reported on it weeks ago, but it was made official yesterday: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotilliard will be joining the cast of "The Dark Knight Rises." And if it wasn't for Twitter, we'd have no idea how meta this casting really was.

According to the James Cameron blockbuster "The Terminator," the artificial intelligence in the Skynet program went live yesterday, which means that our inevitable destruction is just hours away! Since we're all about to die, you might as well read a few predictions for what might be in store for the robot apocalypse.

And a beautiful actress talks about filming love scenes! We won't give it away, but it involves lots and lots of high fives.

'The Dark Knight Rises' Casts Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Marion Cotillard In Today's Dailies

Posted 4/19/11 6:04 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Dailies

If there was still a small part of you that thought that Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's casting in "The Dark Knight Rises" as some cruel joke, let those fears officially be put to rest.

Warner Bros. released a statement today announcing that Christopher Nolan's oft-rumored "Inception" collaborators are indeed a part of "The Dark Knight Rises," though not necessarily in the roles you'd expect. Cotillard will play Miranda Tate, a board member at Wayne Enterprises, and Gordon-Levitt has been tapped for John Blake, a Gotham City cop under Commissioner Gordon. Despite that, though, our friends over at Splash Page think Nolan might still be keeping some tricks up his sleeve. They think there's still a chance Cotillard could be playing Talia Al Ghul, and we're betting that there's more than meets the eye to JGL's cop as well.

After the jump, "Fast Six" gets a writer, "Red State" makes a profit, and finally some good news for "Gravity."

'Inception' Actress Marion Cotillard May Join 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Posted 2/14/11 11:40 am EST by Rick Marshall in News

FROM SPLASH PAGE: It's beginning to seem like Christopher Nolan was so happy with the cast of "Inception," he's putting the band back together for his next film, "The Dark Knight Rises." It was reported this weekend that "Inception" actress Marion Cotillard was joining the cast of Nolan's third Batman film, and now a new report indicates that while it's not a done deal, the actress is indeed in talks for a mystery role.

Cotillard's involvement was originally reported by French newspaper Le Figaro, which announced that the casting was not only official but the pregnant actress would join the production this summer after her baby is born. A rep for Cotillard later told The Hollywood Reporter that the actress is "in discussions, but nothing has been confirmed yet."

There's been no official word from Warner Bros. at this point.

Robert Pattinson Will Get 'Stalked' During 'Cosmopolis,' Paul Giamatti Says

Posted 1/27/11 4:00 pm EST by Aly Semigran in Casting Call, Video

Earlier this week, Paul Giamatti was at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival to support his film, "Win Win," a title that also aptly describes another flick the recent Golden Globe-winner has on his horizon: "Cosmopolis."

Why is "Win Win" so fitting a description of Giamatti's participation in "Cosmopolis"? Well, he gets work with director David Cronenberg and Robert Pattinson, of course!

After Giamatti, who stood with his "Win Win" costar Bobby Cannavale, admitted he was "not sure" when production on "Cosmopolis" would come together, there was one thing that was certain: he'd get to work with the "dreamiest man alive."

Sandra Bullock Heading To Space For 'Gravity'?

Posted 10/7/10 11:05 am EST by Tom DiChiara in Commentary, News

Last year, Sandra Bullock scored the two biggest box-office hits of her career, "Alfonso Cuarón's 3-D space thriller "Gravity."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bullock is in negotiations to star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the film that has already seen a bevy of beautiful A-list actresses come and go.

Originally set up as a star vehicle for Angelina Jolie, Brangelina's poutier-lipped half departed the flick when Warner Bros. reportedly balked at her $20 mil salary. This summer, the studio talked to Marion Cotillard, screen-tested Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively, then shifted their gaze back to Jolie. None of this yielded a leading lady, so WB started talks with Natalie Portman, who's garnering the strongest buzz of her career for the upcoming psychological thriller "Black Swan." Read More...

Steven Soderbergh Enlists An All-Star Cast For 'Contagion'

Posted 2/9/10 10:31 am EST by Josh Wigler in News

Steven Soderbergh is a Terminator. No, that's not some tricky wordplay stating that he's directing the next "Terminator" films or anything — he's not. I'm simply hypothesizing that Soderbergh is a machine from the future sent back through time to protect us all with crazy amounts of film work. Honestly, the director goes from project to project so quickly that it's almost as second nature as breathing for the guy. So it's not much of a surprise, though still wild to hear, that he'll follow up his currently shooting ensemble action flick "Knockout" with yet another ensemble thriller, "Contagion."

The Playlist identifies Soderbergh as the director for the much buzzed action-thriller from screenwriter Scott Z. Burns. Actors Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard and frequent Soderbergh collaborator Matt Damon are all closing deals for the film, presenting an all-star cast that gives "Knockout" a run for its money.
