Olivia Wilde,
Megan Fox and
Eva Mendes, while the lead male role could go to
Andrew Garfield,

Chris Pine who all already met with the director.
SHORT HEADLINES *
Alan Rickman has just joined
Colin Firth and
Cameron Diaz in

Cher has confirmed that she has indeed met with the Farrelly brothers about playing a nun in their remake of
THE THREE STOOGES. *It also seems that the most heart wrecking rumor of the year is also true -
Paramount has, alas, decided not to shoot a remake of sf epic
DUNE after all :((( *If Hollywood decides to shoot another sequel in
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA saga it will be based on
THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW book according to latest news.
Brothers Strause who directed last year's
SKYLINE, are preparing quite an interesting epic adventure as their next project. The story of
WAR OF THE AGES starts when an ancient artifact is uncovered, time gets shattered and the seven greatest war leaders in history have to battle each other out. According to the directors, it will be a mix of LORD OF THE RINGS and GLADIATOR in which we shall see
Napoleon vs.
Julius Caesar vs.
Attila the Hun vs.
Genghis Khan vs.
Alexander vs.
Hannibal. And they plan to shoot it as a 3D sword-and-sandal epic.
You've probably all heard that
Elizabeth Taylor has died today. Which of her movies and roles did you like best? I will remember her for CLEOPATRA and ELEPHANT WALK.
