Kevin Smith’s horror effort Red State finally comes out next week, and we are looking forward to the prospect of seeing the controversial director’s latest project at last.

Inspired by the notorious Westboro Baptist Church, the film concerns three teenage boys who drive out to a remote corner of middle America on a promise of internet-arranged sex. Encountering Abin Cooper, a sinister, fire-and-brimstone preacher played by cult favourite Michael Parks, the boys are drawn into the middle of a frightening confrontations between his fanatical, cult like congregation and John Goodman’s FBI team. The film looks like a truly exciting prospect, with the stylish visuals and constant threat level making a promising trailer.

Quentin Tarantino neatly surmises his feelings on the poster – “I f**king love this movie!”. Early word is that the preformances of Goodman, Parks and Melissa Leo are nailed-on, and we look forward to seeing what the great cast can do with the promising concept.The trailer had everyone excited earlier in the year, and for more official videos, images and more head over to the film’s Facebook page.

Red State is released on September 30th.

Gemma Arterton isn’t on the cast list for Wrath of the Titans, the sequel to last year’s epic remake of Clash of the Titans.

A press release was issued as filming began on the follow-up, with Sam Worthington reprising his role as Perseus. Battle: Lost Angeles director Jonathan Liebesman takes over from Louis Leterrier, with new and old cast returning. Rosamund Pike has replaced Alexa Davalos as Andromeda, and now it looks like Arterton’s Io won’t be returning.

Here’s that press statement:

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.

Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

Not The Silver Chair, as Walden Media claim The Magician’s Nephew is next.

The production company’s founder Michael Flaherty spoke to The Christian Post about the Chronicles of Narnia franchise, and revealed they were planning to adapt the sixth book for the fourth film. Third film The Voyage of the Dawn Treader earned $400m worldwide upon its release last year, a higher return than Prince Caspian, and it was expected that The Silver Chair would be the next film, should the franchise continue.

“We are starting to talk to Fox and talk to the C.S. Lewis estate now about the Magician’s Nephew being our next film,” said Flaherty. “If we can all agree to move forward, then what we would do is find someone to write the script. So, it could still be a couple of years.”

He explained his love for this title in C.S. Lewis’ series: “I love the Magician’s Nephew because it’s a great origins story. You get to learn so much about where the wardrobe came from, where the lamppost came from, where Narnia came from.” The story doesn’t feature any of the Pevensie children, with only the White Witch and Aslan familiar characters.

Here’s the book synopsis:

When Digory and Polly are tricked by Digory’s peculiar Uncle Andrew into becoming part of an experiment, they set off on the adventure of a lifetime. What happens to the children when they touch Uncle Andrew’s magic rings is far beyond anything even the old magician could have imagined.

Hurtled into the Wood between the Worlds, the children soon find that they can enter many worlds through the mysterious pools there. In one world they encounter the evil Queen Jadis, who wreaks havoc in the streets of London when she is accidentally brought back with them. When they finally manage to pull her out of London, unintentionally taking along Uncle Andrew and a coachman with his horse, they find themselves in what will come to be known as the land of Narnia.

Alan Rickman has joined the cast of Gambit, the planned remake of Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine’s 1966 crime caper.

Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz take on the lead roles as a deceptive art curator and Texas rodeo queen, who con an obscenely wealthy man into buying a fake Monet. Rickman has just been cast as the victim, Lord Shahbandar – the richest man in England – reveal Crime Scene Pictures, with Tom Courtenay playing The Major.

Producers Adam Ripp and Rob Paris said: “We are thrilled to have added two world class actors to our already formidable cast. Alan and Sir Tom are the perfect additions to this classic comedic heist.”

The Last Station’s Michael Hoffman directs the criminal comedy from a screenplay by Joel and Ethan Coen. Rickman’s been busy playing Severus Snape in the last ever Harry Potter film, Deathly Hallows part 2, released on 15th July.

Controversial director Neil LaBute is to direct a film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel Crooked House.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes will write the screenplay, based on the 1949 whodunit. The story’s narrator is Charles Hayward, whose fiancée Sophie won’t marry him until the killer of her grandfather is found. It was said to be one of Christie’s favourite two novels.

Downton Abbey writer Fellowes told The Independent that the Forties-era film will shoot in London this year, with controversial director LaBute at the helm: “I love the period, I love Agatha Christie and I love the idea of reinventing it. It will be exciting to work with a really vivid, contemporary director – he’s one of the originals around at the moment.”

Playwright, screenwriter and director LaBute recently handed over the reins of his new film screenplay Seconds of Pleasure to director Mike Figgis, and this latest news explains why. The In the Company of Men and Nurse Betty helmer’s last film was a remake of Death at a Funeral.

Kevin Costner has joined the cast of the Superman reboot.

The star will play Jonathan Kent, adoptive father to Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent. He joins Diane Lane as Martha Kent, with the couple the biggest influence on Superman in Zack Snyder’s reboot of the franchise.

Pa Kent was played by Glenn Ford in Richard Donner’s original Superman film, with the character suffering a heart attack. It is not known if Costner will have an on-screen death in this new story, developed by producer Christopher Nolan, and scripted by David S. Goyer.

Warner Bros. released a statement confirming Costner’s casting, with Synder adding: “Jonathan Kent is the only father figure Clark has ever had, the man who was there to help Clark understand what he was meant to do in the world as Superman. Kevin will be able to communicate the quiet strength of this rural American man who raised the greatest superhero of all time.”

Liam Neeson is officially making a sequel to Taken.

The actor was reluctant to step back into the shoes of retired government operative Bryan Mills, as he wants to take the rest of the year off. He is currently in cinemas starring in another thriller, Unknown, and has been working steadily since the sudden and tragic death of his wife Natasha Richardson in 2009. After Chloe, The A-Team, Clash of the Titans and its sequel, Neeson has just wrapped The Grey nd Battleship.

Producer Luc Besson wanted to shoot this year, and when Neeson withdrew, assembled a list of possible replacements that included Mickey Rourke, Ralph Fiennes, Ray Winstone, Sean Bean and Jason Isaacs. However, Deadline now reveal that a compromise has been reached, and Neeson will shoot in Istanbul at the very end of 2011, or beginning of 2012.

Besson has recruited Robert Mark Kamen to script the follow-up to the 2008 surprise hit, which saw Neeson hunt down the Parisian criminals who kidnapped his daughter Maggie Grace. Director Pierre Morel won’t be returning – Besson has recruited Transporter 3 helmer Olivier Megaton.

Darren Aronofsky has quit as director of The Wolverine.

He told 20th Century Fox that working on the sequel would’ve kept him out of the country for too long, as a large portion of the film was to be shot overseas. In a statement, Fox and star Hugh Jackman said they remained committed to the project, and are looking for a new director.

The Black Swan director said in the joint statement: “As I talked more about the film with my collaborators at Fox, it became clear that the production of The Wolverine would keep me out of the country for almost a year. I was not comfortable being away from my family for that length of time. I am sad that I won’t be able to see the project through, as it is a terrific script and I was very much looking forward to working with my friend, Hugh Jackman, again.”

Fox said: “While we are of course disappointed that Darren can’t do The Wolverine, we also understand and respect his reasons. Having done both The Wrestler and Black Swan with Darren, we know he is an extraordinary talent and we look forward to working with him on other projects in the future. Hugh Jackman and Fox both remain fully committed to making The Wolverine. We will regroup and move forward aggressively.”

The sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine is being written by Christopher McQuarrie, and is yet to secure a greenlight or a release date.

Jennifer Lawrence has landed the starring role in the film version of The Hunger Games.

The Oscar-nominated Winter’s Bone actress beat younger actresses such as Hailee Steinfeld and Chloe Moretz for the role, indicating the studio Lionsgate are upping the age of the lead characters.

Lawrence will play Katniss Everdeen in the big screen version of Suzanne Collins’ hit young adult books, which the studio are planning as a trilogy to include Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Katniss is a girl who joins a survival contest in order to save her community. Taking place in the future, teenagers are chosen by lottery to compete to the death in gladiator-like spectacles, the Hunger Games.

The other starring role to be filled is that of Peeta Mellark, a boy Katniss knows from school. Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four), Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are All Right) and Hunter Parrish (Weeds) have all been mentioned, and now Lionsgate have their Katniss, they can pick a Peeta.

Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville) is directing for a 23rd March 2012 release. Lawrence will next be seen as Raven Darkholme/Mystique in X-Men: First Class this June.

The original stars of the effective 2006 video game adaptation Silent Hill are back for the sequel Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, which is currently filming. Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell and Deborah Kara Unger will join newcomers Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harington. A photo has been released of Mitchell, who previously starred as Rose Da Silva.

In Revelation, Clemens’ character Heather Mason is on the run with her father from dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. On the eve of her 18th birthday she is plagued by terrifying nightmares, and when her dad disappears, Heather discovers she’s not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.

Bassett released a press statement where he commented: “It wouldn’t be the same without some of the original Silent Hill cast. Sean, Radha and Deborah’s return will certainly thrill fans of the franchise and compliment Revelation stars Adelaide and Kit.”

There’s no word on how the three will feature in the new film, set 17 years later, whether it be flashbacks, visions, or part of the story. In the original, Bean and Mitchell were the adoptive parents of Jodelle Ferland’s Sharon, whom Unger’s Dahlia claimed was a reincarnation of her own child.

A-Team star Bradley Cooper sadly admitted to a fan today that there won’t be a sequel: “I loved it too,” he said in the Empire webchat. “But unfortunately, outside of you, a few of your friends and myself, there just wasn’t enough revenue to supply a second instalment of that franchise.”

Joe Carnahan’s big screen remake of the classic TV series starred Cooper as Face, Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Sharlto Copley as Murdock and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson as BA Baracus. Released last July it grossed $177m worldwide on a $110m budget.

Cooper will next star in sci-fi thriller Limitless on 23rd March.
