Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sony, Weinstein Company, Adaptation, Musicals, Science Fiction, Comedy, Casting, Upcoming Releases
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
Assuming negotiations end well, Ed Helms will be temporarily setting aside his stapler to star in a new Todd Phillips (School for Scoundrels) film. The role would be The Office‘s star first lead in a motion picture.
In Hangover, Helms and Bradley Cooper (Alias) will play two of three friends who lose a groom-to-be during a Vegas bachelor party-outing. No actor has yet been cast as the third bud.
Although a release date hasn’t been announced, the comedy is currently entering pre-production. In the meantime, fans of Helms should hurry up to see Meet Dave before it disappears from theaters.

Quantum of Solace Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: MGM, Sony, Action, Adaptation, Drama, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Of all the sequels releasing in 2008, there are only two that really have me excited: The Dark Knight and Quantum of Solace.
In this new trailer, we see that Bond (Daniel Craig) is still quite raw after the death of Vesper Lynd. In fact, the movie (according to co-producer Michael Wilson) picks up “literally an hour” after where Casino Royale left off.
Quantum - also starring Judi Dench, Gemma Arterton, Mathieu Amalric and Olga Kurylenko - is scheduled to open on November 7th.

Casino Royale Review: Craig Can’t Miss
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Sony, Action, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Thrillers, New Releases, Theatrical Reviews
Casino Royale, based on the first Bond novel by Ian Fleming, follows 007 in his very first mission – tracking down Le Chiffre, a notorious banker for terrorist organizations. After halting Le Chiffre’s devious stock market swindle, James must enter a high-stakes poker tournament to prevent him from regaining his money. With the help of the beautiful, yet mysterious Vesper Lynd, a government accountant overseeing the tournament buy-in money, James must win the game and bring in Le Chiffre, dodging obstacles from all sides along the way. The 2 1/2 hour film is visually stunning and action-packed, without a moment of banality or sluggishness (this might seem typical of a Bond film, but truly stands out here). Oh, and by the way, the new guy rules. Bond is back. His name is Daniel Craig.
Casino also stars Eva Green, Judi Dench, and Mads Mikkelsen and is directed by Martin Campbell.
