Blake Lively Competing for Green Lantern Role
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively is hoping to star in the comic book adaptation of Green Lantern.
The 22-year-old is vying to play the love interest of character Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). However, Blake reportedly faces stiff competition for the part as Jennifer Garner, Diane Kruger and Eva Green are also in the running.
“Blake would be amazing in this role. She has a busy 2010 promoting The Town, but she would love to play a part in a superhero film,” a source said.
Martin Campbell, who previously worked on Casino Royale, is to direct the movie, leading some to speculate that former Bond girl Green may be his choice for the role.
Green Lantern tells the story of an ordinary man chosen by an alien to receive an energy ring that can be used to protect the planet. Filming is due to begin in 2010, in time for a June 17, 2011 release date.
2010 Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations (Film)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:
On January 17, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will award their choices for the 2009-10 film season. But on January 23, the people who star in those movies will declare their winners at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of film nominees:
- Precious, Inglourious Basterds, Up in the Air lead the pack with three mentions each.
- Although Nine received a nomination for Best Ensemble, there were no individuals honored. (Could that be a Daniel Day-Lewis first?)
- He may have been snubbed by the Golden Globes, but Jeremy Renner is getting his love now. The Hurt Locker star is up for Best Actor category.
- Since the SAGs don’t differentiate between comedy and drama, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep and Matt Damon will have to settle for one nom each.
The SAG Awards will air Saturday, Jan. 23 on both TBS and TNT.
(You can find the full list of film nominees after the jump. Click here for the TV nominations.)

Diane Kruger Talks ‘Inglourious Basterds,’ Karl Lagerfeld
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Weinstein Company, Action, Horror, Political, Thrillers, Filmmaking,
When Quentin Tarantino has his mind set on a particular actor or actress for a role, he’s nearly dead set on his pick. For this reason, German native Diane Kruger had a lot to prove in order to win his confidence in her for Inglourious Basterds.
“[Quentin Tarantino] actually had someone else in mind when he first cast his movie, and that didn’t work out for whatever reason. He actually couldn’t believe that I was German, so I had to prove my German-ness to him,” the model-turned-actress explained.
Then again, who can blame him when one can barely pick up on Diane’s accent? Iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld can’t tell!

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Weinstein Company, Action, Adventure, Drama, Period, Upcoming Releases,
Still getting used to the spelling of Quentin Tarantino‘s new film? (It was once spelled Inglorious Bastards.) Well, you’ll now have until this fall to get the title mastered.
The WWII drama about Jewish-American soldiers on a mission to kill to Nazis has just been scheduled for an August 21 release. The film, which will be be distributed by the Weinstein Company in the States (by Universal internationally), marks Tarantino’s attempt at a period film. Production began in Germany back in October.
Inglourious Basterds stars Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, BJ Novak, Eli Roth and Diane Kruger.

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
Cloris Leachman: She may not have won a mirror-ball trophy, but she was able to snag something even bigger. Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman was recently added to Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (formerly spelled Inglorious Bastards) cast. The 82-year-old will cameo as Mrs. Himmelstein, an elderly Jewish woman who inspires Eli Roth’s character to seek vengeance. The WWII movie already has Brad Pitt, Mike Myers, Diane Kruger and B.J. Novak in its lineup.

Casting Corner: Diane Kruger, Woody Harrelson, George Clooney
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks, Universal, Weinstein Company, Adaptation, Drama, Horror, Period, Comedy, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
Quentin Tarantino has finally injected a bit of estrogen into his growing Inglorious Bastards cast. Diane Kruger - probably best known for her work in the National Treasure installments - has just been added to the WWII-era film.
Kruger, who was born in Germany, will play Bridget Von Hammersmark, a German actress who helps a group of American Nazi killers. (That group is lead by Aldo Raine, Brad Pitt’s character.) The role will allow Diane to speak in both English and her native tongue.
This will be the second time Kruger has worked with the father of six. The two both starred in 2004’s Troy.
Inglorious Bastards - also starring Eli Roth, Mike Myers and B.J. Novak - begins filming in Germany on October 13.
