Kristen Stewart For Akira Role?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Animation, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Kristen Stewart has been approached to take on the main female role in the reimagining of Akira.
The live-action adaptation of the iconic magna comic is set to start shooting in March following a script rewrite by Steve Kloves, and bosses have offered the Twilight: Saga beauty the part of Kei, a young medium who becomes the love interest for the main character, teen biker gang member Kaneda.
The original story - focusing on Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo (who has yet to be cast) - was set in post-nuclear war Tokyo in 2019, while the new movie is expected to take place in New York. Andrew Garfield, James McAvoy and Kristen's boyfriend and Twilight: Saga co-star Robert Pattinson have all been approached for the role of Tetsuo - who is saved from a medical experiment by his friend.
Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company is working on the $300 million project for Warner Brothers with Allen and Albert Hughes directing. The intention is to make two films, each covering three books in the six-part series. An animated version of Akira has already been made, released in Japan in 1988.

Mark Millar Already Plotting Kick-Ass Sequel
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Mystery, Satire, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Despite the fact that Mark Millar has yet to finish neither the first arc of his Kick-Ass comic nor the film adaptation of it (he has so far only published six issues in thirteen months), the Scottish author already wants the sequel to shoot within two years.
“Kick-Ass 2 is already being plotted out. We’re planning it, because all the actors are quite young and we have to make it relatively quickly. So we’ll definitely do that inside the next 18 to 24 months,” he told Sci-Fi Wire.

Shaun of the Dead Stars in Tintin Projects
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Sony, Adaptation, Adventure, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
A big-name directing duo has just landed a hot acting pair.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have just joined Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s upcoming productions of Tintin. The two pictures, which will be filmed as 3-D performance-capture projects, is based off The Adventures of Tintin, a popular Belgian comic book series.
The Shaun of the Dead actors will play Thompson and Thomson, identical-yet-unrelated detectives who sport slightly different mustaches. The duo joins Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings), who had already been cast as Captain Haddock. Meanwhile, the role of Tintin, the young reporter at the center of the stories, has not yet been filled. (A previous selection had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.)
The first of the two planned Sony/Paramount co-productions will be helmed by Spielberg. Jackson will direct the second.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Classics, Horror, Mystery, Political, Thrillers, Celebrity Controversy, Corporate Shakeups, Distribution, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Even though the much-anticipated film’s premiere is not scheduled until March 6, true Watchmen fans are not taking any chances with Fox’s plans to completely prevent the release.
ComicBookMovie.com has organized a petition in hopes that the people over at Fox change their minds about touching the classic graphic novel’s film adaptation. One fan named Wyatt Barlup is even planning to picket the Fox lots with like-minded, passionate comrades.
There are even those that are on the offense: readers at Comics2Film.com have suggested taking action against Fox‘s upcoming films The Day the Earth Stood Still and X-Men Origins: Wolverine by calling for a boycott. Whoever knew real life drama could be better than fiction!
Why such extreme action, one might ask? Well, probably the fact that Fox isn’t planning on settling this—the studio heads don’t want to see Zack Snyder‘s film released, period.
