ZOMBIE LOVE TRAILER FOR NICHOLAS HOULT'S "WARM BODIES"! JAMES MCAVOY IN JULIAN ASSANGE FILM! TOM HARDY IN "ANIMAL RESCUE"? BRIDGET REGAN IN "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST"

According to "Variety" the latest one to join DreamWorks upcoming biopic on WiliLeaks founder Julian Assange is Scottish star James McAvoy.
HOLLYWOOD SPY has reported before that Benedict Cumberbatch is taking the lead role of the famous freedom fighter and human rights hero Assange while McAvoy will be portraying Daniel Domscheit Berg, whose book "Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange At The World's Most Dangerous Website" serves as the basis for this biopic. The role was previously meant for Joel Kinnaman while the lead role was originally planned for Jeremy Renner. Julian Assange launched the WikiLeaks website in 2006, recruiting Daniel Domscheit Berg to join the site a year later with promises that the duo would change the world. The site came under fire when several diplomatic cables were released that embarrassed many world leaders. Domscheit Berg claimed that he left the site due to Julian Assange's lack of journalistic integrity.

WARM BODIES TRAILER
Continuing our zombie week which started this weekend with a new THE WALKING DEAD episode and continued yesterday with WORLD WAR Z trailer,
today you can see the first delightful trailer for WARM BODIES. Hitting theatres next February, quite appropriately given the fact that this is a zombie romance :), the film  follows a young zombie (Nicholas Hoult from JACK THE GIANT KILLER and X-MEN) who after becoming involved with the girlfriend (Teresa Palmer) of one of his victims, sees their romance setting in motion a sequence of events that might transform the entire lifeless world. It seems that love really is what makes us human! Directed by Jonathan Levine, this movie on zombie love problems also stars John Malkovich, Analeigh Tipton, Dave Franco and Rob Corddry.
