"SIDE EFFECTS" TRAILER WITH CATHERINE ZETA JONES, JUDE LAW, CHANNING TATUM! JAMES PUREFOY IN "IRONCLAD: BATTLE FOR BLOOD"! CLIVE OWEN IN "THE LAST KNIGHTS"! IMOGEN POOTS, ZAC EFRON IN "ARE WE OFFICIALLY DATING"

 Now you know how much HOLLYWOOD SPY likes historical films. One of such will come to us from Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman who are to star in THE LAST KNIGHTS. "Screen Daily" reports that the adventure drama will centre on a band of warriors who set out to avenge their leader's murder! Meanwhile, ROME star James Purefoy (click for extreme naughtiness), who should've been Bond instead of that James Blond Craig, is coming to Serbia where he will shoot the sequel IRONCLAD: BATTLE FOR BLOOD next year. Medieval Serbian fortress Maglich will serve as the set for the new adventures of the Templar Knights who fought against the tyrannical King John in the first part of the epic film which had success in UK and had Derek Jacobi, Paul Giamatti, Brian Cox and Jason Flemyng in the cast too beside Purefoy. Jonathan English will again helm the story.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
In romantic news today, "Deadline" reports that delightful Imogen Poots (who will also join Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper in NEED FOR SPEED game adaptation) has joined Zac Efron in romantic
 comedy ARE WE OFFICIALLY DATING. The story revolves around three male best friends who make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each begins to fall in love. Zac Efron is playing one of the friends, while Deborah Ann Woll will play the ex-wife of another man in the group. Meanwhile, young Daniel H. Wilson, whose first novel ROBOPOCALYPSE is awaiting movie adaptation in the hands of Stephen Spielberg with Chris Hemsworth and Anne Hathaway attached to star, has sold yet another of his books for the big screen treatment. Alex Proyas will direct his book AMPED in which the story is set in a future where humans do battle with people enhanced by nanotechnology. Another interesting piece of news is that beside SNOW PATROL's Gary Lightbody, another musician will join the third season of GAME OF THRONES: Coldplay's drummer Will Champion will apparently beat drums in the epic show too.

SIDE EFFECTS TRAILER
Your trailer for today is for thriller drama SIDE EFFECTS which has a rather lovely cast lead by Jude Law, Catherine Zeta Jones and Channing Tatum and should be out in cinemas next February.
 Directed by Steven Soderbergh, who hasn't scored much success with his movies lately, the complex story of this film revolves around a  a woman who is forced to turn to prescription medication as a way of 
handling her anxiety concerning her husband's upcoming release from prison. It is interesting that this $30 million film was originally supposed to have Justin Timberlake in the role which later on went
to Channing Tatum. It is also rather strange that the lead role was given to expressionless and non-charismatic Rooney Mara instead of Emily Blunt, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Michelle Williams and Imogen Poots who were all also in the game.
