Sheen Signs Up For New Moon

I think this will be very good for Michael Sheen. He is a terrific actor and totally deserves to be even bigger in the public spotlight.

Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen is to star as a bloodsucking vampire in the highly anticipated Twilight sequel.

Sheen has agreed to take on a prominent role alongside fellow Brit Robert Pattinson in New Moon, director Chris Weitz has revealed.

He will play the character Aro – the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.

Weitz says, “Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires. Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.”

Sheen will reportedly receive $7.3 million (£5 million) for taking on the role.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.

Downey Jr. Confirms Iron Man 2 Cast

YAY I really hope that it is true 🙂 Mickey !!!

Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson have been officially confirmed for the Iron Man sequel – by the film’s star, Robert Downey, Jr.

After weeks of speculation, Downey, Jr. reveals the pair will play villains in the film.

He says, “They are both cast and doing Iron Man 2. Garry Shandling is in the film. Of course we have Don Cheadle. We have Sam Jackson. We have Sam Rockwell. And we, of course, have, my dearest heart, Gwyneth Paltrow.”

Miller Not Old Enough To Play Maid Marian

I am glad that Cate Blanchett has the part, I think she is a fantastic actress.

Sienna Miller lost the chance to play Robin Hood‘s sweetheart in Ridley Scott‘s new Medieval epic – because she’s too young.

The actress had been attached to The Sheriff of Nottingham for over a year but when the project went through a rewrite, it quickly became clear she was no longer the right fit – and Cate Blanchett became the new leading lady.

Miller tells WENN, “The script has been evolving and changing and it often happens in films. They’ve been trying to make this for a couple of years and they rewrote the script and they needed someone who was older.

“There’s a husband who has been away at war for 10 years and he comes back, so it’s just not feasible for me to play her. Cate Blanchett is doing it.”

Miller insists there have been many other cast changes – but the media refuses to focus on them.

She adds, “The media doesn’t have to make quite as much a meal of it as they do when it happens to me. I’m sure it will be a wonderful project but this is not an absolutely shocking thing to happen in the movie industry when scripts evolve and casts change.

“Other people have changed in that cast, but the media just won’t document it. I would obviously love to work with Ridley and still I hope to in the future.”

Knightley Waits For My Fair Lady Role

I really hope they don’t cast her as I think she would be awful.

Keira Knightley is begging studio bosses to finally cast her as the lead in the remake of My Fair Lady – because she’s been preparing for the part for two years.

Reports have been circulating since September suggesting Knightley has secured the role made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 musical, based on George Bernard Shaw‘s comedy of manners, Pygmalion.

But she insists casting directors have not made a final decision since she first read for the role in 2007, and she will ignore rumours she’s landed the part until she receives confirmation from her managers.

Knightley tells Moviefone.com, “I auditioned for it about two years ago, and I think it’s been a matter of trying to assemble the correct team to do it that is going to make as interesting a movie and as good a movie as possible. There are good whispers going around, you know, and hopefully they’ll come to fruition.”

Damon Confirms Fourth Bourne Movie

So another Bourne movie will be made.

Hollywood actor Matt Damon is working on a fourth installment of the successful Bourne movie franchise.

Damon and director Paul Greengrass will be developing an original script for the popular series’ fourth outing – as the films have dramatised all of Robert Ludlum‘s best-selling novels.

Yet both are currently held up on other projects – and Damon remains cautious about reprising his physically intense role as superspy Jason Bourne.

He tells Parade magazine, “We’re working on it. This time it would be from an original script rather than a book by Robert Ludlum, but the director Paul Greengrass is busy and I am too, so we’ll see what happens.

“When I did the first movie I was 29 years old. I am 37 now. After a tough fighting scene, the next day you wake up and feel your body more. That’s just the way it is.”

Rourke Agrees Iron Man 2 Deal

YAY best news i’ve heard all day :-). So it looks as though a good cast is forming for this film.

Mickey Rourke is set for a starring role in the upcoming Iron Man sequel – after the film’s bosses finally agreed to the Oscar-nominee’s pay demands.

Rourke was rumoured to have turned down the chance to play Russian villain Whiplash, after he was offered $250,000 (£180,000) for the part.

But the Wrestler star has now signed up to star alongside Robert Downey Jr. in Jon Favreau‘s follow-up to his 2008 hit, after studio chiefs at Marvel upped his pay packet, according to Variety.

Rourke joins a star-studded cast including Sam Rockwell and Samuel L. Jackson in the movie, which is scheduled to hit cinemas in summer 2010.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.
